WRONG - that is very wrong. Please do a little research before posting something as fact.
Gov Walker is trying to level the playing field between the government workers and the private sector. I have had for 3 years now what the Gov is trying to force onto the unionized state workers.
- Higher healthcare costs
- A wage freeze
- No standard "cost of living increase"
I, as a private worker, have been dealing with this since 2008 and its about time EVERYONE in Wisconsin shares our pain! Theres your bottom line.
Is Walker doing it the proper way, no he is not. Should the democratic senators hiding in Illinois come home and work, yes they should.
What would happen to you if you left your job for 2 weeks to hide out from working? You would lose your job. yet we as taxpayers have no power to fire them for not doing their job, even though we are paying them.
You may not agree with Scott Walker, but at least he is showing up for work.

Step back and look at what you are saying: Private employees are getting screwed because our employers won't pay us what public employees are getting. Why do you assume that the public employees are making too much instead of the private employees make too little?

Think what through?
That it is a political ad hominem is irrelevant to me.
What is relevant is that he openly admits to hearing voices.

What did you think, for example, about the stories of Clinton walking around the White House listening for ghostly advice from his predecessors on how to deal with his issues?
Sounds just as weird to me. You OK with it?

No, I'm not okay with it.
The less kooks we have in government the better off we all are.
I presume you believe this is a partisan issue for me.

Of course.

Here's a God-less man who recently STABBED a football player.
"A Lombard man who spent time in prison for attempted murder was held on $250,000 bail Monday after being charged with stabbing a North Central College football player working at a Naperville bar early Sunday."

The LRA is accused of widespread human rights violations, including murder, abduction, mutilation, sexual enslavement of women and children and forcing children to participate in hostilities.
The Lord's Resistance Army has the distinction of having the youngest soldier, only five years old, forced to fight with small arms.
One of the earliest mass abductions happened in 1987 when the LRA attacked the Sacred Hearts Girls Boarding School in the town of Gulu. They attacked again a year later and have attacked numerous schools since then.
During an interview with IRIN, Vincent Otti was asked about the LRA's vision of an ideal government, to which he responded
"Lord’s Resistance Army is just the name of the movement, because we are fighting in the name of God. God is the one helping us in the bush. That’s why we created this name, Lord’s Resistance Army. And people always ask us, are we fighting for the [biblical] Ten Commandments of God. That is true – because the Ten Commandments of God is the constitution that God has given to the people of the world.

Oh, and I heard Walker sometimes wears blue socks. Let's all bash him for that, too.
Deny ignorance is definitely disabled on this thread.
edit on 3/8/2011 by centurion1211 because: (no reason given)
Walker was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Llew Walker, a Baptist minister, and Pat (Fitch) Walker, a bookkeeper.The family moved to Plainfield, Iowa, and when Scott was ten years old, to Delavan, Wisconsin, a town of about 8,000, where his father became a prominent preacher.
Walker has stated that he is "100% pro-life" meaning that he opposes abortion in all circumstances including in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
He supports abstinence-only sex education in the public schools, and opposes state supported clinical services that provide birth control and testing and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases to teens under the age of 18 without parental consent.
Walker ...attends a non-denominational Evangelical Christian church in Wauwatosa.
He enrolled at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1986.
During his sophomore year, he ran for president of the student government, but lost to a write-in candidate after he was cited for campaign rules violations.
He attended college for four years, working part-time for IBM selling warranties and earning a grade point average in the C's. He did not complete a degree

I started the thread because I have a problem with religious psychotics holding public office. I don't care if they're on the left or the right.

Then you've left a bunch of current and former office holders off your list.
Why?

"A homeless man has been stabbed to death in the Queens district of New York. Police believe the 31-year-old man was killed when he tried to stop a woman being attacked. A video obtained by the popular US tabloid New York shows Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax, an immigrant from Guatemala, bleeding to death on the sidewalk. It seems the hearts of New Yorkers were not filled with pity last Sunday night as they walked on by without coming to his assistance.Tale-Yax’s killer is still on the loose."
