Wow, talk about a complete fabrication. Retire at 48? 100K a year? Hyperbole much?
With a Walker victory in WI, something terribly wrong in that state, one that will go for Obama in November. Local victory for the clueless Conservatives in that dairy state choosing not to recall this simpleton. GOP spent a great deal of money in WI to support Walker and fool the clueless with deceptive marketing.
All in all, the GOP stinks. This result doesn't change that.
Wisconsin deserves the Gov they have. I'm glad they are embarrassing themselves like this, does my heart good.
Oh yeah, a governor that turned a $3 BILLION deficit into a surplus, that saved countless teacher's jobs, that created thousands of jobs, that saved millions for local cities and towns because of his CB bill.....Yeah, the voters of WI know a winner when they see one.
Barrett got beat, but state union workers and their greedy leaders just got served notice to buck up and take it in the shorts. Too bad, so sad. Walker will put them back in their place...servants of the tax payers. As it should be.
One slick Barrett supporter was asked if they would try to work with Republicans now. He said Walker show no inclination to play ball with them. What? After the democratic state senators hid like children in Illinois? After the dems abused the intent of recall laws because they lost? YGTBSM! No way!
I AM A UNION WORKER, I am not the problem. Teachers, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, road workers, construction trades, etc. are NOT the enemy. If you're jealous of our benefits, FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN!, not against ours. The rich who created this crisis are putting middle class families against each other. We live here, pay taxes, work hard & try to support our families too.
That being said... Walker please let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya
No all, but a good percentage of union haters are just jealous and bitter that they weren't smart enough or talented enough to get into a good union with good pay and benefits.

Just wait until you see Wisconsin in 10 years. Bunch of idiots.

Actually, a teacher here who worked for 37 years retired at 59 and his income is well near 100k. MY aunt is 70 and has been a teacher for 26 years and said she'd only get 50-60k a year, so she's going to work another 5-10 years if she can suirvive it.

Yeah, that what the Left/unions said 16 months ago...that Walker's policies would cause death and destruction.....turned out the exact opposite happened.
