Blind partisanship.

Don't like the guy, vote him out next election. *shrug*
WI is falling behind all the other states. Walker won't be running for gov. next term because he wants to run for president instead. That is why he is wasting his time writing a book instead of working to improve WI. Walker is another Palin. He has grandiose ideas about himself in spite of the fact that he has accomplished nothing.

A lot of talking there but you dodged the main point.

All those blowhole politicians hire ghost writers....now lets discuss how much time you wasted with the recall?

Why don't you want to discuss that?

Didn't you once say Obama needed a 2nd term because 4 years wasn't enough time to fix the mess? Yet you (lets be honest here, you've never given the guy a chance) want Walker to fix everything in 2-3 years while fighting through a recall?

Vote him out, I really don't care....but I find the whole complaint to be hillariously partisan.

Does this "ghost writer" just make things up? Or does Walker have to provide the information?

About the recall, WI citizens felt Walker's tactics would be bad for WI and they are right as the falling jobs numbers and falling wages in WI show.

If any good will come out of this it is that Walker will become an example to the nation of how right-wing policies destroy an economy. First Bush and now Walker! It is like a double whammy to WI!

The least you could have done was to copy and paste your source along with your copy and paste job.

Let's review:

Quote:
Wisconsin ranked 44th out of the 50 states in private-sector job creation in the 12 months from September 2011 to September 2012. The state's position has deteriorated progressively from a revised rank of 41st in the previous 12-month period through June 2012; and from a rank of 37th in the 12 months through March 2012.
Quote:
The data, released Thursday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is called the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. It's based on a census of 96% of all American non-farm employers, public and private, which makes it the most exhaustive and credible information available on job creation. Because it is so complete, the quarterly data always comes with a half-year time lag.
Quote:
Wisconsin ranked 11th among the 50 states in 2010 in private-sector job growth, outperforming the nation as a whole. But it dropped to 38th in 2011, Gov. Scott Walker's first year in office.
Quote:
Wages in Wisconsin fell faster and harder than most of the nation. When ranked by the percentage change in all private-sector employment, Wisconsin average wages had the 45th-worst ranking out of 50 states.
Wisconsin falls to 44th in private-sector job creation

Meanwhile Obama is pretending to be Shaq @ the free throw line while our debt keeps adding up and more and more people go on disability.

Can I put you on record as believing that Walker is wasting our money on his tax paid payroll by wasting time writing a self serving book while WI is circling the drain?
