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

Not anti-worker at all. Just anti Union.

I'd just add "anti-public sector union." I don't care about private enterprise. Those demands are met from the perspective of "can we afford it?" Public sector union demands are met from the perspective of "**** the taxpayers, give it to 'em."
 
Perhaps you missed the last part of my message?

I would never advocate killing anyone because of a political lean.

You'd just suggest how it should be done if one was going to do it....

But then suggest you're peaceful.

You know...kind of like a Don who would never tell someone to Whack a Guy, but might suggest that said person may need to stumble into some bad luck.

I'd find the type of mentality, even though I don't buy that you'd have the gall to do such in reality instead of a forum, coming from a person that works for an elected official a bit disturbing...but perhaps speaks to the mindset of said elected official rubbing off on you. I wonder if he's saying similar things to his contacts in the near by state......
 
IF indicted AND convicted...'THROW THE SOB IN JAIL!' If indicted and aquited what will the 'warriors on the far left say then'?

I imagine we will say NOT GUILTY.
 
The success of Walker in Wisconsin:

Did they? Or were they so indoctrinated that they saw no other way? In any case, they did go against their best interests and largely the countries best interest.

I don't see it as indoctrination. I don't like the way Walker busted the unions, but this week the fiscal numbers came out, and Wisconsin had a surplus, and I believe that was all the difference. Now, we wait and see if there is a price to pay in the way of jobs, education, etc. I will wait and see what happens, but in this election, Walker got his message across better than his opponent did. The money had a lot to do with it, but just as much, Barrett did not tell anyone what his plan was, because he didn't really have one, and that, along with the budget numbers which show a surplus, is what killed him.
 
Much like Democrat women aren't the only type of women, Democrat workers and Union workers aren't the only kind of workers. You don't get to lay claim to entire subsets and expect anyone but your ideological brethren to take it seriously.

I don't think this just hurts democrat workers any more than I thought women's rights only effected democrat women, so I don't really understand you here.

Nor do I think union workers are the only kind of workers. But, the attack is on workers, and what happens with unions will have a trickle down effect. Balance between the work force and the employers is important, and it is bad when either side gains too much leverage. This could have been done in a way that sought balance, but instead it was done to push one side of the equation down, the worker. This leads to an imbalance and one that will effect the worker most of all.

I find your posts disturbing. I find your gross dishonesty disturbing. I find your ideology disturbing.

Wrong. Just. Wrong.
 
Listen, I quoted what YOU said. If you wrote other than what you intended, please clarify. Or take ownership of what you said because I wasn't the only person who read what you posted the way I did.

Here is what you posted: "I see the conservative hacks have already arrived." What did I misunderstand?

You're misunderstanding that I called somebody a hack. One person, I called, ONE PERSON a hack. I didn't stereotype or complain that nobody has the right to take joy in the election results. That was your own assumption. Some people don't know what hack means. It's not a simple attack to call somebody, it's an extreme partisan person. I considered his response a partisan response. I did not attack anybody for being excited about the election results. That is only in your imagination. I'll say it a million times, I respect you and anybody else for being joyous over these election results.

Can I put in any clearer for you?

I certainly agree that specifics matter specific situations, but I was speaking to a general over all reasoning behind workers supporting policies that go against workers.
 
I think the point was more about MTP's comment asking how quick liberals come in with conspiracies. That's not just celebrating and jumping for joy, that's immedietely going out of your way to attack the other side.

Exactly... lol. I don't know why I try to explain myself to some people, but hell, you're a Conservative and you get it.

Thanks. And allow me to point out that "hacks" is a plural, not ONE PERSON.
 
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.

Here is a long set of direction to make a bomb. Here is a long diatribe about who to use the bomb on. Oh...by the way, don't use bombs, peace is what's needed...

Your mentality is so transparent I don't know which is more disconcerting...your view point or the slap-in-the-face obvious method of attempting to act like it's not your point of view
 
The unions forgot just one little thing - to find a better candidate to back. ;-)

I paid no attention to the election, and from what I was reading in the news, I am not surprised by the results
 
I'd just add "anti-public sector union." I don't care about private enterprise. Those demands are met from the perspective of "can we afford it?" Public sector union demands are met from the perspective of "**** the taxpayers, give it to 'em."

I'm Anti-Union in public and private sectors in non-right to work states.
 
You're not attacking idiot Liberal hacks. You're attacking all liberals, and that makes you a hack yourself. All I am saying is you could change your approach and separate the idiots from the non idiots, and you'll get more respect from both sides. If you continue your strategy, you're most likely going to get only the respect of conservative hacks.
Who else but an idiot liberal hack would do that? I guess I should have said "idiot liberal hacks" instead of just liberals? I'm not looking for respect on a website. I could care less about that. I just don't believe I'm a hack, as a lot of people would attest to on here.
 
No, it's not anti-worker. It's a state trying to come to some kind of fiscal stability. Alot of the people working to pay for all the publicly funded union workers, aren't making **** compared to what union workers make, and the future obligations/pensions/bennies of public unions are breaking their backs.

No fair using facts and logic - elections are about feelings. Remember that many liberal's feelings got hurt tonight. ;-)
 
Hey!!!! Do not attempt to bring facts into this discussion!!! WTF is wrong with you????

The only problem I see with that graph is the assumption that Unions are the cause. I suspect there are more than a few elements at work there.
