Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker survives recall effort, NBC News projects

Looks like the people of Wisconsin aren't too happy with union pay that is almost 15000 more on average than the people that pay their salaries. That bodes well for the fall. Public unions have no business making more money than the people they work for unless the people vote them that pay and benefits. Politicians buy votes with their support and we saw tonight that the people of Wisconsin said ENOUGH. Way to go Scott!!

Will you go on record as 100% against Democrats acting like little girls and hiding in Illinois to avoid the democratic process?? ;)

So let me get this straight, you are advocating targeting individuals for violance because of their political leanings?

Its a common theme. we hear about the rich being forced to grovel at the feet of the "workers" so they can keep what they have earned. It happens constantly. The masses will revolt and slay the evil rich. Frankly I hope the threats are carried out. We can cut down on lots of the people who only take and do nothing for this nation

Just the senseless kind though. Love the way you leave that gray area for yourself.

The teachers union lost members, but WI lost no teachers, in fact, it gained some. The world did not end, the schools did not close, the WI budget got almost balanced and taxes did not go up much. All in all, Walker did just what he said he would do. Liberals can not see how that union busting, scum bag, GOP moron could possibly get all those independent votes, AGAIN, over the same liberal guy he beat last time. It must be rigged. ;-)

As they are poised to gain control of the Senate, its a irrelevant question.

Directionless rioting is senseless and counter productive. If one were disposed to violence, direct targeting of those who financed this effort would make much more sense and achieve much better and chilling results encouraging other modern day robber barons to stay in the confines of their gated compound and keep their money out of it.

If one was disposed to violence.

But peace is the path.

true, if more of those union hacks were actually workers rather than Obama propagandists we'd probably have more use for them

Public sector unions have no legitimacy. They have complete legal coverage in terms of wage and hours, working conditions etc. all they do is drive up prices and protect incompetence. WTH is the US Postal Service in such a bad position? does anyone have any idea how many millions their unions cost us with idiotic EEOC, grievance and other complaints?

Not at all. There were slaves anti freedom. Women who were anti women's rights. For whatever reasons, people are often against themselves. It is not new or unusual.

What, you don't believe that a thread will be started saying there was some sort of conspiracy? There have already been conspiracy theories and the friggin polls hadn't even opened yet. In addition, when you have people like 99percenter starting birther threads about Romney, you are actually going to act like it would be a surprise?

The first thread I saw like that was by a Conservative, but I am not keeping score. If a Liberal complains about conspiracy theories, I wouldn't be surprised to be honest. There are plenty of hacks on both sides at DP. I expect to read through hundreds of ignorant and hackish posts a day. And when I talk about hacks, I name them by name, and such idiots do not make you immune for taking responsibility for your own statements.

Irrelevant? To whom?

Please post links that show where the out-of-state money came from. That should be interesting. I think (haven't looked it up) that the unions through everything but the kitchen sink at this election. And still? The people win.
 
Just a little something for the liberals. Look, it even comes in pink.

That too is a dodge. It focuses one one side of the equation only and puts no emphasis on holding those who negotiate accountable. It is a blame the worker mentality that simply ignores too much, while making an excuse for everyone else.
 
This thread is a great view of what it is going be like when Obama loses in November.

Perhaps, but they took those positions in what they believed were their self interest.

Watch the next few days and I am sure we will see where the money backing the Walker effort came from.

I think you don't know what I believe or think. In fact, you have proved it in the thread with your erroneous accusations. I rather not engage with people like you any further. I try to have a level conversation, and only hear what you want to hear.
 
This is a victory for austerity, conservatism and fiscal responsibility. This is a defeat for Socialism, Keynesian economics, big government and a lack of fiscal responsibility.

We have got to get our houses in order, or we will go bankrupt, period. Why liberals don't "get" that is beyond me. All of the states that are implementing the conservative principles are seeing their states turn around. My state of Michigan was just totally destroyed under the previous liberal Governor, but Governor Snyder has turned our state around implementing conservative principles by creating over 80,000 new jobs in 2011 alone.

He never fails to disappoint:

"In many respects it's to be expected, considering how much money was thrown at this race. You know, NBC is calling it for Walker. Okay, I think it's awful close and there's a lot of absentee ballots yet that are still out and it's going to be very, very close down to the wire"

Ed Schultz concluded the segment by making a wild assertion. "Scott Walker could very well be indicted in the coming days," the MSNBC host said.
