Well, Tea Party people actually have to WORK and don't take fake sick time to attend such things. They also are truly a grassroots movement and don't have the President, the DNC, SEIU, and others being paid to go and being bussed in from outside the State.

What a joke! For one thing, many TPs are retired, for another, it's SATURDAY! Most people are off work. The TPs were bused in, too.

It's about time that the entire nation has found out just how bad this problem really is, much to the consternation of the liberal press, who'd just as soon ignore.

Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, and the entire staff at MSNBC must be squirming like crazy about having to cover this, and Obama's asinine remarks and ignorance about what was actually in the bill (straight out of Pelosi's playbook, wouldn't you say?) are just more proof as to how consumed he is with pushing the union agenda at the expense of the more than 90% of US citizens who are not union members.

If he'd even bothered to have actually known what was in the bill before popping off (specifically that the police & firefighters were exempt from the Governor's bill, as IBD pointed out yesterday), he wouldn't give all of us yet another irrefutable example of his incompetence.

Another classic example of being in 'rush to judgment mode', only to prove again that you have no idea what hell you're talking about.

What an overmatched lightweight and international laughinstock we have for a 'dear leader', don't we?

FYI Einstein, I don't consider that any better than a filibuster. I never said that nor even insinuated anything of the sort, so refrain from putting words in my mouth. GOPers along with Dems are all doing their fair share in reinforcing my disgust with BOTH parties. Take your partisan bs and save it for someone else.

Your laziness and envy is disgusting.
You're assuming anyone who is opposed to the lavish public sector benefits are all lazy bums, which is an outright lie. Many have college degrees and or own their own businesses. The fact that you're resulting to personal insults shows you're not interested in having a real debate. Grow up.

Ummmm.....so it's Saturday. They worked yesterday, many work Saturdays, and they have to be back at work on Monday.

How many days have the AstroTurf mobs been able to get a head start?

How many different unions and political activist groups are you comparing to ONE Tea Party?

The hater party media outlets are giving him a free ride on this blunder.

Again he screws up badly, get it wrong and they cover his sorry butt.

No wonder he failed as an attorney. He kinda forgot to research the info before he stuck another foot into his big mouth.

Every single teacher who called off "sick" should be fired no questions asked.

If they can prove they were at this event and not at work they should be fired with no chance of recourse.

The best quote was from Governor Walker about Obama popping off after first saying he didn't know the details (again)....

Walker said when Obama gets his own budget in order, then he can stick his nose in ours.

Not only that, but I'm sure there is a large number of people supporting the governor behind closed doors across Wisconsin...and across the country.
