If Obama had as great a record as Gov. Walker has in Wisconsin, he'd be a shoo-in also.

Let's allow the voters to vote before we call the results. Remember the Nevada senate race when Sharon Angle was way ahead of Harry Reid up until election day? Bill Clinton was there yesterday rallying the troops for Tom Barrett. It all depends on who can get their voters to the polls.

Politifact ranks Scott Walker most dishonest governor in America.

Bill Clinton showed up, as he always has. Although I may disagree with some of his stands, he is a leader. Obama has not shown up even though he was in Illinois and then Minnesota. Why? Because he is afraid to chance losing. He will be there to take credit should the recall prevail, but will not show up if the recall fails. He is most certainly NOT a leader. When the going gets tough he gets going as far away as he can.

I am sure that President Obama's political team has urged him not to go to Wisconsin. You have to realize that the President, in political matters, listens to his political team. They are the political experts - just as Romney has his political experts.

Bill Clinton is a very good emmisary for the Democrat political team to send. He is a great speaker and will show how Walker is an idiot.

Has Mitt Romney shown up in Wisconsin to give his personal support to Walker? If so, I missed it. What is good for the goose must be good for the gander, too.

Where is Mitt? The only one I saw supporting Scott Walker was Gov Bob (vaginal-probe) McDonnell (R-VA). Isn't Romney the head of the republican party with his recent win clinching the nomination?

[Guest]

Scott Walker validates why I have not, and will never, vote for a Republican. :mad:

[Guest]

Government sources are reconfirming that Gov Scott Walker (R-WI) is a target of the investigation regardless of the recall results. Walker is the only governor in the country with his own legal defense fund. Even our own Gov Rick Scott doesn't need a legal defense fund, yet.


Regardless of recall, Scott Walker may face indictment (http://current.com/groups/news-blog/93793661_regardless-of-recall-walker-may-face-indictment.htm)

[Guest]

Why is it that the Republican standard bearer, Mitt Romney, has not gone to Wisconsin to have rallies for Scott Walker in his recall election? I guess the Republicans do not want their candidate SOILED by a corrupt governor like Scott Walker.

[Guest]

of course there will be an investigation...more political thuggery from this administration when they are threatened. gov walker has saved the state millions just by changing the union-bought health insurance company which covered all the state teachers... he has managed to balance the budget and REDUCE property taxes...you never hear of his accomplishments on liberal media...it is the corrupt unions calling the kettle black.

I liked the Ann Coulter column in the Villages Daily Sun today about the Wisconsin recall election. It did go over Walker's successes in Wisconsin.

[Guest]

Now, it is just possible that one of the posters did a little misreading on her part when stating that Scott Walker balanced the state budget. He diverted money from one source to another to make it look like the budget was being balanced - but the money was supposed to go to help troubled homeowners.


Gov. Scott Walker To Use Foreclosure Settlement Money To Balance His Budget, Not Help Homeowners | ThinkProgress (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/02/10/422744/walker-settlement-budget/)

OOps, Looks like Scotty got caught with his sticky fingers in the cookie jar!

[Guest]

It is interesting to see how union membership in Wisconsin has fallen now that employees have the option of paying their dues rather than having it forcibly removed from their paychecks. It doesn't seem that unions are as popular as they would have you believe.

It seems he did a lot more than just divert 30 million of the 140 millions dollars earmarked for foreclosure relief in order to ostensibly balance the budget. He also made very major cuts to state spending. There's much more in the Milwaukee Journal than in story posted in the ultra left liberal political site you chose to link.

Yes, it does seem he did a lot more in his blanancing the state budget. He mDemocrats also criticized the budget for making deep cuts to schools and cutting tax credits for the working poor while lowering taxes for corporations. deep cuts to education. Anyhow, read what you linked andyou will see that there are some good items but also very poor decisions made by Scott Walker.

Poor or potentially unpopular? You can't be a coward and a strong administrator. He's got the state finances under control without raising taxes, and the unemployment rate is less than 7%.

IF this country is to survive, you better get ready for this type of thing NATIONWIDE. It is the only recourse.

Economists keep warning us and when it happens this state is already working where the rest of us NEED to go.

You are saying if this country is to survive we need to cut spending for education, eliminate tax breaks for poor working families, and to lower taxes to corporations? :22yikes:

[Guest]

The latest polls have the governor's race within the margin of error. Both sides have their recount attorneys in place. It could be a long time until we know the outcome, think Al Franken in MN. Scott Walker has outspent Tom Barrett by 8/1 with most of the money coming from outside the state (ie Koch brothers).

oh, my, my! between the stanley cup finals and this recall election i think i am going to eat too much popcorn! i hope villages pl doesn't find out about that [in another thread]! ;)

i can't wait to wait up tomorrow to follow the wisconsin exit polling!

Walker's lead in Wisconsin recall election tightens in new poll - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/walkers-lead-wisconsin-recall-election-tightens-poll/story?id=16490870)

It does sound like the Republican plan to save Wisconsin as well as the US is to invest our future in international corporations' welfare. Lower taxes on these, cut down union rights for their workers, open up natural resources for the development of large corporation use, cut educational funding for the public sector, etc. So, the rich can get richer and the poor will just have to suffer through it.

[Guest]

hence the worst is society will be no different than it has been for the last 60 years!!!!

No matter who is in office or running for office there will always be those who have it, those who don't have it and of course the new and growing entitlement groups.......my favorite? Unemployment. People have been collecting for almost three years and there is NO DOUBT it will be extended again (gotta protect that voting block....again).

I am curious....did the rich stop getting richer while Obama is in office? Of course we all know they got richer like they always do......oops not supposed to talk about that though....eh?

[Guest]

Let us hope that sanity, civility and unity return Wisconsin to being the Grand Ole Badger state I was born in.
2/3 of the money Scott Walker raised came from out-of-state. He is outspending Barret 7 to 1. Pretty clear he is part of a vast right wing campaign to break labor unions nation-wide. :doh:

Obama prefers to lead from behind....a wall, a scape goat, a phrase, an ex-president, Congress ATM machines, Mars, the sun, an admiral, an attorney general. Geezzz this guy is going to run out of hiding places soon...What you say he already did. Hmmmmm

As I said earlier, why didn't Mitt Romney, the standard bearer of the Republican Party, show up to support Scott Walker. Criticize Pres. Obama because he did not show up to deride Walker but the bigger question is why the Republican pres. candidate did not show up to support their own candidate?

[Guest]

as a politician do you think he would have any different reasons/excuses than Obama not showing up?

Of course not.

Is Obama admitting that is why he did not show up? Of course not.

Ditto Romney....pretty simple actually.

barrett's $ came from the state of wisconsin and walker's $ came from out-of-state

so i figure barrett's $ can vote in the election and walker's $ can't.

As I read and understand it...the american way is to vote wherever and whenever you want and have no need to prove you are who you are. Works well, you can cast your vote and then your neighbor cant get out so cast their vote. That guy working on your lawn or your barista, or server in the local restaurant, or anyone you choose.....and their crew...you could have them also vote.

[Guest]

Bucco,be careful,that last comment on lawn care could be taken as a racial slur like all who work on lawns are illegals.

THAT would not be my problem but the one who interpeted it that way !!!!

I, along with anyone who support Romney, the governor of Florida just last evening on here, anyone who supported McCain, and a vast array of folks have been called racist for much much less.

Don't like it but have gotten accustomed to it over the past few years.

But for you will change it...how is drywallers, or trash collectors, or baristas, or alarm company salesmen.....do you also generalize about them ?

Do you know the home addresses and dates of birth of those service workers you mentioned as well as what voting precinct they are registered in? That is information you would have to have before being allowed to vote - even if a photo ID is not needed.

Besides that, most polling places are open well before the working day begins and closes well after the working day ends. In Maryland, where I came from, polls were open at 7 am and closed at 9 pm.

I realize your post was meant in humor. :wave:

[Guest]

I'm trying to get the word out in Wisconsin that Republicans are to vote today, and the Democrats are to vote tomorrow :)

[Guest]

after following this story fairly closely watching both Fox and CNBC reading both sides of the arguement it is rather obvious that no one really knows the truth. You may think you do but you don't. Both sides lie,tell half-truths,and spin everything their way,NO EXCEPTIONS. What I have realized however is that it doesn't matter anymore BIG MONEY talks and the rest of us are just pawns in the system. Unless there is true campaign finance reform all of us are just spinning our wheels. We can have some fun on this board but our words mean nothing unless one of you is a billionaire,a corporation,a union boss or some other entity with a lot of money. Millions in Wisconsin,billions in the national election,what a waste.

[Guest]

Some precincts are reporting as high as 90% voter turnout, presidential year records. Democrats have 440 recount lawyers on the ground, and Republicans probably have a like amount, unless they're sure they will win in a landslide. It could be a long night, or weeks, or months.

Make that 119%

This did not require any post from me for sure, but since I pretty much always disagree with you, I needed to take this opportunity to agree with you.
