Corporatist fascism, exactly like we see in Wisconsin from Walker/the Koch's is the plague destroying freedom and the constitution. Your guy Ron Paul agrees as well

But yet you support Obama, one of the biggest fascist president to ever exist.., running around defending 1 side while criticizing the other for doing the exact same thing.. Spare me the selective outrage.

Wake up Wisconsin, before it is too late
You mean like California(blue state) were the middle class is leaving in droves to go to states like Texas(red state).

The far right's latest pathetic dirty trick is they have apparently hacked into obtaining countless people's cell phone numbers, and spammed them with anti-Barrett fodder.

Absolutely disgusting.

GASP! You mean the Republicans are finally doing the same thing Democrats have done?

Darn those Repubs for stooping so low!

And they still complain.
Aren't they just deferring paying off their debts and using the Home Foreclosure money to plug holes?

I mean...if they are working with a balanced budget then why not pay your bills on time as well as use money meant for foreclosure "victims" for a reason other than it's original intention? If you use GAAP then the Wisconsin budget is not balanced by any stretch of the imagination. Not paying bills may free up cash but it will cost you more in the long run. Of course none of that matters since he will probably be long gone before that.

Yes, this is very silly, everyone should know that the big unions were not backing Barrett for the democratic party primary.

This recall election is a disgust, a recall should only be held if the governor or other politicians are accused of committing acts of criminal fraud, vile, immoral or unethical behavior, not just because your party lost an election, and you disagree with the policies being voted on and signed into law.

The only reason we are having one is because the dems thru a hissy fit when Barrett lost two years ago. So here we are, with Barrett getting a Mulligan, a do-over.

Of course not. The democrats have done nothing even close to the sort in Wisconsin. Unlike the Koch puppets/GOP thugs, the democrats have class and respect for the constitution, and wouldn't resort to desperation and dirty tricks like the GOP does.

Which is true, Barrett wasn't the union's top pick. Barrett himself makes the point they aren't that found of him, rather he wants to be a voice of reason in the middle, to unite both sides and move the state of Wisconsin forward.

This wasn't brought up because the democrats were upset that they lost, many democrats supported Walker and even those "greedy unions" backed and endorsed him.
The whole recall is all about Walker being a puppet to the Koch's, doing their bidding to reign in their extreme right fascist agenda by attacking hard working middle class families and with his own words "divide and concur" the state.
Not to mention new reports are out with him possibly having ties to criminal activities and he has also lied under oath. There should be ethics violations charges placed against him.

You mean like their legislators fleeing the state. the whole state employee union scam was a dirty trick.

Democratic politicians give increased wages and benefits to the state employees and their unions, and the unions donate to their campaigns, run issue ads and campaign ads for them, organizes get out the vote drives with their state employee union members.
