Scott Walker wins again in Wisconsin

George Soros was supposed to move to Canada when GW Bush got re-elected in 2004. He of course didn't do it. Nor will the people on your FB feed. It's all hysterics.

Yeah, I know that they won't. I just find it hilarious that whenever an election doesn't go the way people want, it is met with a surge of childish passive aggressive behavior :lol:.
 
No we surely won't agree. But, we shall see exactly who "the party of no" is when repubs start passing through the 330 some odd bills Harry Reid was blocking from a vote...

It's going to be a long 2 years for you if you don't loose the tired talking points.

The ones the democrats supported in the House will probably b passed in the Senate once they are reintroduced in the House. The remaining ones are going to embarrass your side in its inability to get 60 votes.

I hear you! Temper tantrums after elections are good entertainment, and we get them after almost every election.
 
I was just surprised that he could go up against the unions in that state, and still succeed. I do not support public employee unions, but in that part of the country, they seem to be extraordinarily popular and powerful. I'm just surprised that the dem machine didn't manage to demonize Walker enough to get him out of office.

Prior to the recall vote, I thought that if he had succeeded in putting Wisconsin on a better fiscal trajectory and if the state's economy rebounded, he would win the recall vote. That happened. This election was largely a referendum on those outcomes. If a leader produces concrete results that benefit the public as a whole (economic growth and reduced fiscal risk benefit the public), whether his or her tactics to achieve those outcomes were controversial matters far less than the actual results. Wisconsin's electoral outcome validated something that has often happened in politics whether one thinks back to President Reagan's firing the air controllers upon their striking or Margaret Thatcher's breaking the NUM's hold on British public policy (to use two widely recognized examples).

Is Governor Walker Presidential material? I'm not yet sure, but that question only concerns his ideas and broader policy background, not his leadership capability. Is he a tough leader who has demonstrated a willingness to persevere through adversity in pursuit of a vision he felt would benefit his state? Absolutely.
 
And the Dumbos failed to dethrone him....AGAIN!

I see a potential Walker for President in 2016.

Hard to dethrone someone when the whole election system is rigged.

I just watched a series of short clips from the MSNBC coverage with Maddow, Matthews and a gaggle of guests as the results flowed in.
Pretty humorous ... in a freak show kinda way.
I swear, they really need to tranq that Maddow babe before braodcasts.

Ours or yours?

Yours of course. There aint much freedom and democracy left in the US anymore thanks in large part to the GOP and their gerrymandering of the political system.

And how were the Senate races affected by gerrymandering?

Because the other party has played it so straight.

Our problem here is the two parties have locked up power and pushed other parties out. They don't get representation. That is the issue here in America.
 
A lot of people were suppose to move when Obama won. Damn housing market must still be down.
Most of them were just saying. Politics might have impact their lives but rarely to the point of forcing them out of their houses.

HAHAHAHAH that was awesome!! I did Tivo MSNBC on election night (hubby & I were with the Scott Brown camp) and I managed to watch some of it last night. I had to give up early because I couldn't stand watching Mr. Tingles and Maddow for long, and when the Reverend Al came on, it was really bad. Looks like I missed a lot of good stuff.

The party of no will be the same after the election as it was before the election. The Democrats. Before it was Reid, and now it will be Obama.
