Because there is an agenda at stake, here.
Those that can't accept it and cannot adapt, will always become extinct.
They are seen as weak.

Of course they are seen as weak, their movement is failing horribly around the country and while labor unions are still large in this country they're losing members and power every day. The more power they lose the more power the people of this country gains.

According to current Democrat economic theory job destruction is the same as success, I can see why you're confused.....

Scott Walker would not have received the majority of votes, if they wished to keep on the same Progressive road, that has them in ruin.
Special elections, and a Conservative movement.

They fail to realize, an elected Conservative, was elected for a reason, when they were elected in a Conservative district.

It will turn out to be a waste of Wisconsin tax dollars, to settle the temper tantrum the children will always throw, when they don't get their way.

Perhaps - but that is their RIGHT, as guarenteed by THEIR CONSTITUTION.
Why are you so intent on depriving the citizens of Wisconsin of their constitutional RIGHTS?
Is it because YOU may not like the RESULT?
That's tough.
They have a RIGHT to recall their leaders and IF ENOUGH folks vote to do that, that's EXACTLY what they will do - as per the RIGHTS their CONSTITUTION grants them.

Besides, what are YOU complaining about? IF you are right and the actions of the state legislature and the governor TRULY represent the WILL of the people then the GOP will likely gain MORE seats as the Democrats also being recalled are thrown out and the GOP folks retain their seats.

Can it be that you are not so SURE that the actions of the governor and legislature TRULY represent the WILL of the PEOPLE?

You sure sound like it.

The impeachment hearings for Obama are being held today, tomorrow and just like they were yesterday. The decision will be made November 2012.

The people will impeach him, if they wish.

That is how a Republic works.

So Obama was waiting to hit the job creation switch until January 2011?

Why hasn't he flipped that same switch in other states that are still losing jobs or have double digit unemployment?

The judge didn't rule against the jobs created- how would that work anyway? He voted that the way they ran the bill through was improper. He (Walker)only has to resubmit the bill and give more time for review. In a nutshell, it wasn't the bill itself, just the way it was handled. The bill will make it through again.

I don't know anyone that moved to the side of the union strikers. The nation saw the dark side. They got a glimpse of just how shady, how deceitful and thuggish the members can be. Doctors and nurses roaming through the crowd with sick slips didn't get positive traction at all. I have to wonder if there are motels in Illinois salivating at the prospect of housing the Dems again. This next go around should be good.

There was a time that unions were needed. They did a lot for workers and wages. Then the leaders became powerful, and like politicians, began to abuse and manipulate it. Look at Hoffa, talk about a corrupt SOB, and to top it off his kid is now a powerful mob... I mean union leader. It befuddles me to no end that people will trade their souls for medical and 1.7x the national average in pay.

I can tell you that even moderate liberals see you as extreme buddy. You go ahead and slap yourself on the back for ideology well done. Don't forget to take it off the grill, I think it's burning.
