and the governor doesn't want to pay his campaign people to review the signatures he's suing to make the GAO do it.
He doesn't have to challenge the signatures. That's his choice. Why should the taxpayer pay for that? he should just concede that enough people have signed and get on with the recall campaign. Save his money to hire fake Dems to run to split the vote.

Good. F*cking prick.
I was ready to just attribute the problem to ideological differences until Walker pushed for gays to not be able to visit their partners as "family" in hospitals.

That's just so beyond cruel it made my jaw drop. That's pure gay hatred right there.

He flew too close to the sun on wings of skinned middle class people.

hubiestubert: sweetmelissa31: Is there any way he could make a recall illegal? Seems like something he'd do.

He is already suing against the recall as a violation of his 14th Amendment right to equal access under the law, in a very convoluted sort of challenge that his own offices would be in violation of in their quest to get rid of Congresscritters.

I'd say that he is pretty much assured that he's going to be turned out, and that he's going to do his level best to hide as much cash and as many favors as possible before he gets tossed out.

As much as I would love to see him punted out of his Governorship, polls don't show this as a given. There's a pretty strong chance that he'll retain his office, but the recall effort and subsequent election would put a pretty big drain on his campaign money and would likely significantly weaken his chances at re-election later.

coco ebert: This I hadn't heard about. Jeez, is there any redeeming quality to this guy?

Well he doesn't eat baby fetuses for breakfast . . . that we know of.

So there's that.

It's a bit frightening when someone with archvillain tendencies can rise to a position of power in this nation.

It's reassuring when we manage to kick them out.

Definitely not in any breakfast that I know of.

But that's just me.

Muslim Brotherhood will take over Wisconsin.

Well, after getting absolute power to do anything they wanted, the Republicans spent virtually ALL of their time on consolidating their power and social legislation such as making sure that kids can't get sex education in schools and 6 million/year on voter ID, even at their "jobs conference". There has been no time spent on creating jobs; every time they get together they are off the tracks again on more stupid legislation to tell people how they should act and think at taxpayer expense. Walker has spent over half of his time as Governor being out of the state at political fundraisers raising cash for his future political career as VP. I'm not sure what they thought would happen here but there was absolutely no attempt to improve the local economy. Meanwhile, all the states around Wisconsin are adding jobs.

Well now, let's be rational and polite about this. Is it always good to be cancer free? What is life anyway, but some meaningless struggle in pursuit of nothing in particular that goes on and on until you become old and incoherent. Cancer can put a stop to the boredom of every day existence.

Those are HUMAN cells!! Left alone, they will grow to become a person who can walk, talk, dance, sing, kill a liberal, etc!!

I'm pro-life. Cancerous cells are living things. Who are you to play god and end that precious life?

This is different from the rest of the GOP in what way?

Don't forget CCW and rolling back Doyle's (slightly misguided) auto insurance limits! Did he think he bought some points back by calling for the DNR from the guy in lake Geneva who's keeping a doe in his barn?

Careful. We run the risk of upsetting Netizencain's pursuit for a rational political discussion on Fark. He may even go so far as to call you a poopy-head.

I shall weep for you, my friend, if you upset him.

Christ, if he's getting butthurt about that, wait until he hears about what I want to see happen in DC.

hurdboy: sammyk: I'm hoping its in the backdrop of the presidential elections.

So are all the Republican candidates who'd rather see the Democrats focus their Wisconsin monies on taking out Walker instead of re-electing Obama.

The Republicans are pouring their money here too. Wisconsin's become essentially a proxy war for the rest of the country.

Headso: He flew too close to the sun Koch on wings of skinned middle class people.

FTFY

How does the recall process work in WI? When Gray Davis was recalled in CA, the voting process was actually pretty streamlined (by CA standards.. our system is a giant clusterfark).

The first question on the ballot was more or less "Recall Gov. Davis, yes or no" and then the second question was "Should the Gov. be recalled, who do you want to cast your vote for".

Of course, most of us voted for Arnie. Looking back, the recall probably wasn't the wisest idea. Davis was a bit of a dolt, but he is probably light years ahead of Walker.

Bleed the union coffers dry with this, then fail on the recall effort. Cool.

This I hadn't heard about. Jeez, is there any redeeming quality to this guy? I hope the actual recall vote passes. Any Wisconsinites or close watchers care to tell us what they predict will happen?

It'll be close, but Waukesha county will "find" enough votes to win it, with open ballot bags (again) and the DA won't investigate (again).

Does this mean I have to give up on my dream of A jacuzzi filled with the tears of homosexuals and union workers?

MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?

Cletus C.: Bleed the union coffers dry with this, then fail on the recall effort. Cool.

How so? There's still about a month left of signature gathering (call it 2.5 weeks if everything shuts down for Xmas/New Years). They'll get more than enough signatures by then. And if they hit their goal for total signatures even if 1 out of every 3 signatures is successfully challenged the recall effort still succeeds. It sounds like there's a good chance he'll have to fire up his campaign machine.

Cletus C.: Bleed the union coffers dry with this, then fail on the recall effort. Cool.

Walker's on record as saying he expects them to get all the signatures, they're goal is to actually get 133% of the requirement. The real issue is there aren't any obvious Democrats to knock off Walker. One isn't too well known outside the strength of a Madison television signal (Erpenbach) and another who mentioned it (Cullen) hasn't been relevant since the Clinton administration. Unless they send a parade down Wisconsin Ave. to get Feingold out of Marquette, it's an uphill climb.

Oh, I can tell you what's going to happen. Walker's people will fight as dirty as possible, and will do whatever illegal things they think they can get away with.
