Go back and read your own post. You do not appear to even remember what you wrote, or what you asked.

Oh don't multiply your breathless goofiness. You asked a stupid question and got a snarky answer. I know that right wingers have the sense of humor of a Galapagos tortoise, but you are growing painful to watch.

No.

It is exactly the number you claimed and that I pointed out was exactly the right number for this campaign.

Should I have added a, "Duh?"

Which is just weird that you ridicule that they are doing it perfectly.

Default Missing: GOP enthusiasm gap in Wisconsin

Gone baby gone.

Now they will see the effect of the huge party affiliation gap that Dems enjoy.

The real Wisconsin people are plenty ticked off.

Once again, for the ten-thousandth time for people who REFUSE to recognize the obvious, Walker's autocratic, heavy-handed, deceptive approach is what people are so INFURIATED about. It is not "greedy" public employees.

It IS Walker's vendetta to destroy unions. It was always about the unions. Always. He tried to hide his agenda by saying it was fiscal, but when he couldn't do it that way, he put the issue in a bill that was NONFISCAL so he could achieve his goal - BREAK THE UNION - thereby proving he was lying all along. It was NEVER a fiscal issue.

I am not pro-union or against - but I am AGAINST Walker's roughshod obdurate refusal to listen to anyone. That is scary and it scares most Wisconsin voters.

Walker believes he is NOT answerable to the voters - especially if what the voters want - and most of them - at least 60% - disagree with him right now - is not what HE wants.

Someone has called him Governor Liar. I think that is an appropriate description. We can't get rid of him fast enough.
I hope we do the same thing with Florida public employee unions. Boohoo, they didn't get an increase a couple of years ago and the powers that be wanted to add a tax on people so the unions would only have to pay $100 for their insurance. For a long time I didn't have any insurance but no one paid for mine. When I did have it, I was paying over $1000 a month for a preexisting condition. Couldn't afford it and had to drop it.

The unions are out of control. Look at the GM debacle. Our money went to the blue collar unions. The white collar workers got shut out.

I don't particularly like my new governor here in Florida but I do think he is trying to bring the states finances in line. Florida is only one of 3 states in the union that has a fully funded union. Our childrens services are in a mess but the public employees only wanted to pay $100 a month for their insurance and the public employees make sure they get theirs in their pensions.

Exactly where would the money come from to pay for the public employee unions' demands for higher salaries and benefits cost increases? WI already has a $3.6 billion deficit thanks to Dem Governor Doyle.

There ARE no "demands for higher salaries & benefits cost increases" - and when the time comes when some come up THEN the issue will be negoiated based on the state of the economy and the Wisconsin budget AT THAT TIME.
