Wisconsin is a state that is usually ignored. Ironic to find desperate Pubs trying to embellish his win to have a broader meaning. It has limited and localized significance, whose effect is temporary at best.
Walker's victory however does not erase some harsh Republican realities. You're still the party:
1) which gave us Bush, worst president in history.
2) were OK with Bush lying to go to war.
3) were OK with runaway military spending that caused this country to bleed to death.
4) were OK with the spending because a Republican was in the White House.
5) were OK watching Bush turn a surplus into a deficit.
6) didn't complain about the deficit when Bush was in office.
7) that ignored the health care crisis.
8) that ignored the housing crisis.
9) that ignored the Wall street crisis.
10) that ignored the mortgage crisis.
11) that wasn't effective against illegal immigration.
12) that wasn't effective against street grang crisis.
13) that couldn't get bin Laden.
14) that supports bigotry
15) that knows nothing about effectively running an economy.
16) that clings to "trickle-down" even though it has never worked.
17) that favors the rich only to the detriment of everyone else.
18) that has broken Congress these last 4 years.
19) whose policies fail and hurt the country.
20) that is supported by the most racially-ignorant, most backwards segment of our society.
Walker's win means little in the grand scheme. The state will go for Obama in November. Dems in the state will regroup and come back stronger next time to stamp out the clueless segment of that state that supported this simpleton. Continue to chase your tails, Pubs.
Do you realize how ignorant and factually incorrect you are?
#1 There NEVER was a surplus. The last true surplus was in 1957 - the last year the national debt decreased.
#2 Bush went to congress to warn them of the housing market collapse - that Democrats certainly had a part in creating.
#3 You think Obama is effective at ending street gang violence? He has refused to attend Chicago events on this subject.
#4 You show more bigotry than any other poster I have read on here in a long while.
#5 Obama is ignoring many crises, because it is easy to kick the can down the road.
You mentioned nothing about the $22 million Walker alone raised, and the $37 million that was brought in to the campaign from others who supported him.
That's a lot of money that could have gone to Romney and all the Repub down-ticket candidates who are in desperate need of it.
$35 million on one side, $59 million on the other. It is mutual craziness on both sides. All that money is evidence of how hard fought this was, Money is better than bullets, though- 160 years ago, Kansas went through a similarly hard fought political dispute, but it was fought with weapons, not cash, and a century later, the anger on either side still remains, while the dust of history has completely buried the reasons for the dispute.
Maybe we have learned a little since then?
That's because $59 million is a GD lie and you'd know that if you had looked at the link. Plus, who cares about the losers?
To bad they don't bother to verify these elections. WALKER, MOST OTHER REPUBS REPORTEDLY SURVIVE WISCONSIN RECALL ELECTIONS

I happened upon your thread about the voting machines being owned by the World Hearld in Omaha.
Your bigest mistake is in thinking that newspaper is conservative. Omaha is a bastion of liberals and the paper is left wing.
But maybe that's why liberals thought Barrett would win?
What's going to happen when obama does not win in November....
