Here's to good times....
Ummm...ahem.....well. We know the Left would LOVE to recall them...but where is the evidence that is happening - or are you just making stuff up now?

I guess you don't realize how HARD it will be with Walker and now you claim that 3 more will be recalled?

Link(s) please?

Back to the topic. I used to live in AZ. Jan Brewer actually has the spine to make some tough cuts and difficult decisions. My gosh, what is she supposed to do libs, just keep spending money that the state doesn't have??? You all realize that money does not grow on trees, right? Is she supposed to just let every illegal remain in the state despite the fact that they broke the law in the first place? She will save AZ if the federal government will stay out of the way.
i think she will save arizona even though the feds are trying to interfere.

So just WHERE does waste become important? $100K $500K? $1M

It's the principle, not surprising the right doesn't understand.

Like it or not workers were made promises by contract, to renege on those promises while showing no concern for other waste is typical political BS.

Well, one shot down;

To be clear, it would seem that those seeking to recall Brewer face unlikely odds at accomplishing their goal. Many in Arizona have stood behind Brewer and the issues and positions she has undertaken. Supporters of the governor propelled her to victory last November.
She has the overwhelming approval of the citizens of the state.

Workers weren't promised anything that the taxpayers could not afford.

NJ sweetened those pensions massively over the past 10 years, and if those idiots in the public union leadership thought that they would get lifetime free healthcare and COLA-plus adjusted pensions without having to significantly contribute to them while watching the state's real estate tax go through the roof, then they have no one to blame but themselves. As Christie himself said in a speech to some firefighters:

"He crumpled up his prepared remarks and threw them on the floor. He told them, “Here’s the deal: I understand you’re angry, and I understand you’re frustrated, and I understand you feel deceived and betrayed.” And, he said, they were right: “For 20 years, governors have come into this room and lied to you, promised you benefits that they had no way of paying for, making promises they knew they couldn’t keep, and just hoping that they wouldn’t be the man or women left holding the bag. I understand why you feel angry and betrayed and deceived by those people. Here’s what I don’t understand. Why are you booing the first guy who came in here and told you the truth?”"

Who is being punished? Who's benefits are being taken away. The further away you get, I think the more garbled the message becomes.

Did you read that on the Huffington POS? Anyone knows the SENATE has the hearing authority on impeachments..

Clause 6: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.

You can carry on with your I hate the GOP postings...

very true, but remember the house has to pass an impeachment resolution first. clinton was impeached, but not convicted in the senate.

impeachment is like going in front of a grand jury, where as the actual trial is held in the senate.

And the House never started the impeachment resolution nor was there any such talks like Fiyero claimed..
