Why does the recall need to be limited to one issue?

The way I see it, three issues off thee topic are reason enough:
-- opposition to collective bargaining
-- privatizing, so corporations can assume public assets
-- Walker is in the pockets of rich industrialists and sides with them instead of the public

FOCUS: New Evidence of Scott Walker Lying to Congress
Quote:
There is no longer any question that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s sworn testimony before Congress has been contradicted by videotaped evidence of the controversial governor discussing with his top campaign donor a “divide and conquer” political scheme to undermine organized labor and make Wisconsin “a completely red state.”

Now, however, there is new evidence to suggest that Walker’s testimony to Congress about when he began preparing his anti-labor legislation—which sparked mass demonstrations and a recall movement that will culminate with a June 5 vote on whether to recall the governor—was not truthful.

Not just oh my, this is dynamite news for the freedom fighters in Wisconsin. I hope they flood the airwaves to let everyone know what a scumbag Walker is, and file immediate ethics violations charges.

More from Crooks and Liars:

Quote:
On April 14, 2011, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker testified before Congress that he started drafting the notorious Act 10 that stripped collective bargaining rights from most state employees in December, after Democrats in the state legislature attempted to pass pro-union contracts in a lame duck session after he won the election. But documents obtained by WTDY News in Wisconsin show that the Act was actually being worked on in November, just weeks after Walker was elected. Walker tried to tell Congress that he was just reacting to aggressive moves by Democrats, when, in reality, he planned to go after the rights of working families, it seems, from the very beginning.
This is a video of the lie:

Oh my is right, and after what happened to Clinton, the R leadership can't defend him much for lying under oath to Congress. I saw something earlier today about the Wisconsin poll numbers tightening up considerably in the last few days now that more people understand the fraud issue he was involved in when he was a county administrator in Milwaukee. This makes that issue look like nothing.

He wouldn't be a radical nut if he only came down crazy on one issue--that's his problem. It's across the board. He's an example of everything that's wrong with "new" republicans and he needs to go before he takes the party down with him.
