FULL STORY
Not hard to believe. Another example of how the unions waste their member’s money. It’s a shame we can’t recall Obama, we have to wait until Nov, 2012. In 2010 the Democratic lose was a slaughter; the 2012 election cycle is going to be a massacre. Obama, the Democrats in the house and the 23 Senators up for election in 2012 better understand their jobs are on the line, we are watching how they vote, they will be replaced.
When will people ever learn that the GOP is anti-middle class? They are not interested in job creation...they are in fact the job snatchers. A vote for (R) is a vote against jobs.
Nice waste of money, Democrats. Next time, don't abandon your jobs, stay in session, and do your jobs.
Democracy 1 – Union Thugs 0
comments ought to be interesting. conspiracies, terrorists, astroturf, morons . . . anythng except we lost to a different set of ideals. so let us hear it dems, demonization and hatred of your fellow Americans. and no, they will not be brought up on charges of treason hahaha, not a one.
Why would you want to elect more Democrat cowards in Wisc who will run to another State when the going gets difficult?!?!? This shows that you wouldn't. This is a victory for the American people and a slap in the face to the union thugs we saw on TV.
No news here they are republican strong holds anyway
Well Dems and Union thugs, there you have it! You have been rebuked once again. Now, time to take the two Dem seats that are up for recall!!!
I am very saddenned by the results.
I will NOT take the Rethugs attitude that foul play may have had a hand in the vote count, but I will say that America needs to get really serious about 2012 and re-electing President Obama or our collective goose will be burnt to a crisp and promptly disposed of by the Teatard division of the Rethug Party.
Tough day for the unions. It is clear when you do the research and read articles like "Bonus Time" in the Chicago Tribune and "Walker's Reform Saves Teachers' Jobs" that Governor Walker was right on the issue. SInce the legislation was passed, several school districts have surpluses and have used the additional funds to save/create more jobs and decrease class sizes. The unions may have spent tens of millions on these elections but the people of WI got this one right. I'm glad to see some people are smarter than just voting along party lines and can see what positive change looks like. We'll see how the rest of his term goes but for now, his first big move as governor looks like a success.
