Johnny Swank: Step 1: Elect a bunch of dumbass teabaggers.
Step 2: Watch in shocked (Shocked I say!) amazement as they govern like a bunch of retarded spider monkeys

Wisconsin is getting everything they deserve. See also, Ohio, NC, Florida, etc. Maybe next time their voters will pull their thumb out of their asses and do some modicum of research into who they're electing. This shiat is predictable as the rising sun.

Hey NOW! How dare you insult such leaders!

Spider Monkeys live in quite organized socieities and the poo throwing at least follows the established rules of decorum and constitution.

Wisconsin is actually nowhere near #1 in obesity. CDC

SkittlesAreYum: How did Wisconsin get the rap of being full of fat people? It's ranked the #25 state in obesity rate, which is, obviously, in the middle of the pack.

Back in the '80s. my GF of the time and I went to a conference in Milwaukee. Born and raised in SoCal and a size 10, she said, "This is the first time in my life I've felt skinny."

I got myself a good paying job in Wisconsin last year, but I'm from Illinois so I hold a large advantage over the locals.

And Walker will likely still be governor after the recall election. I feel for you Wisconsin, but this is why you don't elect these people, They're snake-slippery.

The great state of Wisconsin will not apologize for its cheese!

We were ahead of our time. Back in the 80s we were on top. Since then everyone else has caught up, and as you mentioned, half of them have passed us by.

Unless he's done enough to get that board appointment at Koch Industries, then he might just step down voluntarily.

Yeah WI kind of gets an undeserved reputation for that. The south leads the charge in obesity rates.

Along with Texas. And no, they aren't a part of the South.

IrateShadow: zedster: nope, Waukesha cannot fire Nicholas so they are rerouting the votes to GAB in a run around her

How can they not fire her? She's demonstrated for at least two elections now that she is criminally unfit for her job.

County clerks are an elected position in Wisconsin. It's stupid, I know.

They could, in theory, recall her, but since Democrats started using that part of the democratic process all of the hard right wingers in the suburban hellhole of Waukesha think it's evil. So instead, the Waukesha County Executive is just giving the responsibilities to somebody else until she can be ousted, which I believe is this November.

True enough. There's also the possibility of the John Doe investigation turning up something incriminating.

Dixie has something of a genteel pompousness, where Texas has more of a yee-haw megalomanical narcissism.

I consider them part of the South since they were one of the seven states to secede during "Secession winter" after Lincoln's election.

Nor should they. It's damn good cheese.

As a resident of Houston, I am getting a kick out of these obesity comments.

Meh, Walker owns the vote counters.

Although, a the one has some serious eyes on her now, and observers should be in the state for the recall just to make sure no hanky-panky, or even the appearance of hanky-panky, occurs with the ballots.

My post may have been incoherent, but it wasn't an attempt at trolling.

Unions have organized and threatened boycotts of companies if they appeared to support Walker in any way. That includes small business who tried to stay neutral, and wouldn't post pro-union flyers, and businesses that were looking to move to Wisconsin. There is a toxic political atmosphere in Wisconsin, and much of that is fueled by national Union money as they attempt to not only make an example of Scott Walker, but the entire state of Wisconsin. It's obvious that many of the groups operating here couldn't give a rats ass about the state or the people in it. They are working to secure their own power base; in this state and nationally.

Is it no wonder that companies would avoid Wisconsin like the plague? And no, I don't blame Walker for what's going on here. I blame desperate union thugs who are hell bent on holding onto a system who's time has past. They are the ones who would sacrifice not only the people of Wisconsin, but Wisconsin Union members to maintain their power.

Thank God that Walker and his supporters never accept any of that tainted national money. They only accept donations from people in Wisconsin who care deeply about what is best fro the common people of Wisconsin, right? It;s not like Scott Walker is running all over the country raising funds from out of state groups or anything.

Yes, vilify the unions, that's what companies want.

They want you to forgo the protection and power collective bargaining grants the otherwise powerless worker.

Why is it, instead of people trying to get the same protections and benefits the union guys have, they direct their hate at unions, instead of the bosses with 100x-300x the salary Joe Blow is getting?

I have little problem with the boss getting a lot more than the guy working the line, as long as the guy on the line was getting pay commensurate with his productivity.



This is not sustainable, and is the source of much of our woes, especially when you couple the easy availability of credit people were using to make up for the wage gap.

You know, you are an idiot. Even many moderate Republicans are sick of Walker. Only the moronic "stick it to the libs" contingent gives him support. He's really, really farked up Wisconsin. He's also divided the state so badly that it's splitting friends and family. Booting his ass out of office would begin the recovery.

/See folks, THIS is Union Derangement Syndrome in action. This idiot is willing to cut off his nose to spite his face just so he can "stick it to the libs".

Except the headline doesn't say that they are #1 in obesity, just that they are last in skinny people. Average must be thicker than skinny becasue WI is #25.

"In all, Walker has raised $7.6 million in donations since he took office on Jan 3. Of these, $3.2 million, or about 42 percent, came from out of state."

snerk. 3.2 million? The total money dumped into the state of Wisconsin by national union groups was estimated to be about 20 million last year. At least that much will be dumped into the state as the Unions try for Scott Walker's head this year.

And yes national groups on both sides will be running ads and spending money by the truck load this year. It's because both side know that if Walker is recalled, it will be a defining moment for the labor movement. The failure or success of the recall is either the beginning of the unions death throes, or it's rebirth.

Oh, fark you and that stupid argument. No, we can't all be on Government support or working for the government, dipshiat. We also can't be selling off our goddamn public utilities to the Koch brothers or selling ourselves out the free market. There's a balance and Walker and his cronies are screwing the pooch. Why does Wisconsin and how many other states need to pass the same goddamn legislation? You know what attracts good companies? A good work force. When you cut everything to the bone, sell off the public utilities and make it so one group of billionaire donors get first choice, that will attract appx. zero jobs.
If you think Walker is doing Wisconsin any good, you are a sucker. Bringing jobs back to Wisconsin doesn't farking mean destroying the middle class so the Koch Industries can have a ready made underclass of minimum wage employees.

You are a farking idiot. Not just an idiot, a farking idiot. Go vote for Scooter. Maybe he'll contract with Koch Whores^tm so you can get a knob job as a reward.
