Democrats and Liberals are ranting and raving about the 1,000,000 signatures that have been collected for Scott Walker's recall.

If Scott Walker is subject to the ire of voters for his wildly successful union slapdown, then it stands to reason that Barack Obama is looking at a really nasty election year for shoving Obamacare down our collective throats. This, of course, on top of every other unpopular policy the President has engaged in.

If Scott Walker is toast, then i'd say Barack Obama is too. Democrats would do well to think long and hard about the parallels.

How does something that is "wildly successful" (your words) turn into a recall. I'm confused.

Are you sure you didn't mean "mildly successful" or "what the freak was I thinking"

What exactly has President Obama spent money on that conservatives aren't guilty of the exact same thing?

Healthcare? See medicare part D

Military spending? See Bush and Republican congress just a few weeks ago.

Bail outs? See Bush again

Tax cuts? President Obama has lowered taxes since in office, so did Bush.

The list goes on and on.

Now, I will say that the public isn't happy with the way things are going, but Republicans support the exact same thing. Who are you going to vote for? Romney? LOL

Wildly successful.....as in Union Slapdown. The reason for the recall effort....because he was successful.

Vegas is always looking to hire good contortionists.

What you're saying is so convoluted that i don't even know how you had the courage to make a thread based on it.

However, given the political reality of the Republican destruction of our economy and unmitigated hatred of unions, there is no way I will vote for anyone but President Obama and his Democratic successor.

In the Wisconsin situation I support the people that believe that anyone working for any business should be in a union. This applies to the public and the private sector. Without the power to withhold the work everyone would certainly be cheated by the businesses or governments capability to withhold jobs and set wages.
