Socialist?? The Democrats?? As somebody from the left, allow me to assure you that the Dems are NOT "socialist". They are a slightly right of center party. The Republicans are so far to the right that they might make the Democrats look "liberal" but the Democrats are NOT a "liberal" party.

Apparently Walker raised $30 million, two-thirds from out of state. Democracy isn't dead but in the face of $20M out of state money, it's kinda lame.

The center found that Barrett has received about 26 percent of his $4 million in campaign donations from outside Wisconsin. Walker has raised about two-thirds of his $30.5 million contributions from out of state, according to campaign filings released May 29.[LEFT]

"Little" people? I know it's hard but try to show some class.

Can you explain how they voted against their personal interests?

I guess you're correct on this issue considering they voted for Obama by a very large margin.

Hey stillkit.. how is it difficult for you to understand that whats in your best interest might not be in mine. Seriously, its like negotating the purchase of a building, 1 person walks away with cash, the other one the building. If they both had the same interest the property wouldnt be for sale.

Geez pghquest, listen to these a-holes with their insults. I guess I always knew that this was who they really were but it still shocks me how classless they are.

It is a manisfestation of fear, as they know that the Walker outcome portends a defeat for Obama in the fall. Obama, with unemployment at 8.2% and the economy in the tank does not stand a chance. Only the libs will vote for him, and there are not enough libs to carry the day for him.

To all the poor doormat not-quite-real-citizens women of Wisconsin.

You were stupid enough to vote for a group who now can legally pay you less for doing the same(or better) job than the man working next to you (BUT you'll PAY THE SAME TAX RATE because yes, Wisconsinites will still have to pay taxes even if the turds don't see the necessity or responsibility of being an American citizen)).

You, women, have lost your full citizenship(except for that paying taxes part).

You are now considered less than human and you, in your abject stupidity , do not see where this is headed.

Hope you don't get beaten or raped.....laws against those things will also go backwards into the 20th century.


Hope you don't care about equality in divorce laws....you're headed towards the 20th century...


Sorry to see such stupidity and apathy in the women of Wisconsin but it IS the state whose cultural center is Wisconsin Dells That explains a lot and why the Koch brothers were so successful...
