Frankly, I think this "woman" needs a psychological evaluation. She does herself, her party and her cause no good with these over the top, hateful statements that attempt to associate a political opponent with abuse of women. Any woman with an ounce of decency or common sense would never associate themselves with her hate speech.

What are you talking about? This article isn't about the dimwitted half-term governor from Alaska!

If this woman is the best the Democrats have to put up as the spokesperson of the party then it is no wonder they are looking to take another shellacking at the polls in November. She belittles ALL women who have been the victim of domestic violence with her misuse of the language for political smear tactics.

But you don't care that Governor Walker kicked low income women and mothers with handicapped children off Medicaid? Some priorities you have there. If you think party politics and overheated rhetoric with no connection to the real world is the problem then perhaps you should look in the mirror.
Gundy,
know anyone who went to college on the GI bill? Know anyone who has been kept out of poverty in their old age? Ever drive on a federal highway? Your belief that there are no accomplishments as a result of the Feds being involved is one of the most staggering displays of deliberate, willful ignorance I have ever seen. Btw, the Right was warned about tax cuts ballooning the debt, and they ignored the advice of their own economists.
Tell him Debbie,
just asking
it is amazing anybody in here supports this type of political attack. but the democrats see the light at the end of the tunnel and know it is the train about to hit them in november. desperation makes people do and say desperate things. after so much of this kind of stupid talk, nobody believes anything the democrats have to say anymore. this just seals it even more in the minds of many independent voters.

If you look real close it looks like this woman has fangs. Is there a vampire caucus in the Democrat Party?

You were saying something about some type of political attack being a sign or desperation, just asking? And what type of stupid talk political attack might that be?
Say WHAT???
I love it when Democrats like Debbie Wasser-Schitz open their hateful, divisive moths and spew this type of hateful speech. It shows the whole country just who the leaders are of the Democrat Party and how absolutely horrible they are, both morally and politically.

Seriously? Haven't you been listening to the Republican leaders? From people committing the party to having a number one goal of unseating the president after a single term, to people saying that are committed to "blocking the Obama agenda", Republicans lost the general election in 2012 and a number of seats in the gerrymandered House for a reason.
Tom l, the history of public health issues has its origins in-surprise! 19th century Republicans who were trying to promote the " right behaviors" in people. Everything from health food to public parks has its origins in the GOP trying to control the behavior of people. Take it up with the Republicans on here. Pssst: Progressives started with the GOP.
"Believe it or not, that cash in your pocket really does belong to Uncle Sam. The government sets the rules on how its' currency can and cannot be used. If you do not like some of those rules, then that's just too bad. Get over it."

Rudy couldn't have demonstrated his thoughts or mindset any better than in this comment. In the other story on Kissinger, you should read how much he trusts the government over a personal physician with 30 years of experience. Rudy told that guy that the doctor was taking him to the cleaners and the government was just wonderful.
This Scott Walker is a plain idiot. I don't know who elected this nasty pig.

And you have now demonstrated, again, why I am not a republican either. As I have stated, from their stance on gay marriage and other social issues, it is the primary reason I am not a republican either. I am tired of the govt telling me what to do. I'd like to make my own decisions.
Gunderson – " Uh, Paine,
I don't have defend Walker's accomplishments in Wisconsin. The voters did it for me. "
I'm sure you feel the same way about President Obama.
Gunderson – " we have had 100 years of big liberal ideas. .... So tell me, which ones do you count as successes? "
1) A country most of the world sees as the best opportunity for freedom,in spite of right-wing propaganda claiming otherwise
2)The world's greatest economy
3) Mostly equal rights for all races, and religions ( despite the rhetoric of leftie agitators)
4) The world's greatest military
Plenty more; I don't have all day. But the Big Liberal Ideas haven't hurt so much as you imply.
@tom l, good luck with that. You have to decide which side you can tolerate more. Gurgyl, leave the "nasty pig" comments where they belong: untyped.
@Jeff Brown in Jersey
"Ooooooh! A woman has the nerve to open her mouth and attack a crooked, Republican Governor! "
Luckily this article mentions scott walker, otherwise your post would be very difficult to decipher...a crooked, republicant Governor is a wide open field... it would be easier to name the name the NON crooked, republicant Governors which would be... ah... er, just a minute... uhhhhh... er... there was, er....
Oops...
Gundy,
You picked this fight, so please at least try to defend Walker with something other than a recall election held over 2 years ago where he took directions from the Kochs. Walker is in the fight of his life right now, because he failed to deliver on his economic Nirvana promises. It appears as though the fantasy of Scott Walker is about to come to a crashing end, since its clear his actions had more to do with tactical political desires rather than actually helping the people of WI. 40% of quota at the end of the term is a termination offense, and his review is coming up. Obama passed his with flying colors, according to the people of WI, so get ready to see your hero lose his job.

You're lying, tom. I told the guy either his doctor was ripping him off, or he may be misunderstanding what he was being told. I wasn't even trying to be partisan, but you're to partisan to notice nothing but what you want to see. Alas, it's already too late, because the cat is out of the bag. Tom will be repeating this lie until the sun burns out.
DNC is getting very desperate. I love it.
Honestly? I am not fond of such kind of analogy. But I understand why she decided to use it, and though I personally don't support it, I am not (much) offended as if she would have used it on another GOP politician.
Who are you self-righteous hypocrites acting indignant over the woman's language? But it's ok with you when divisive, insulting rhetoric is aimed at those you disagree with? Never a word from any of you then!
Beat that rightwing maggot, Walker, like the old dilapidated drum he is.
I see that the usual gaggle of rightwing [R] malignants have already taken their beatings on this thread like the cowardly posters of lies that they are. Good job [D]s, expose them until they bleed, to the truth they are so allergic to.
@CALIFORNIA: yeah they're desperate, but not as desperate as RNC fools who can't figure out how to pretend they care about people who are unlike themselves. All this woman is doing is fighting fire with fire. As usual, rightwing hypocrites can dish it out but they can't take it in.
This Wisconsin idiot is just like Bob McDonalds of Virginia. Watch out this guy too. All Republican trash no ethics.

Nah. The only thing worrying Democrats is that the House Republicans may not shut down the government again. But, if you get them angry and riled up enough, then they are bound to do it all over again. Fifty plus repeal votes. LOL
