Four Down!!

[Stephanie]

LOL, what do you think we'd be hearing if it had been the Republicans FLEEING the state to AVOID DOING THEIR JOBS.

Democrats-Liberals today have no honor left.

sad state to watch.

Tradition does not make something legal, moral or acceptable.

What makes leaving the state illegal? Nothing.

What makes it immoral or unacceptable? That is for the constituents to determine. They alone are the judges of the actions of their elected officials. You don't have a say in the matter.

Not only that, it's the GoOpers in Wisconsin who started this recall frenzy by going after the so-called "fleebaggers". Interestingly, they might not be able to get a recall against any of them off the ground.

You really need to stop getting your info from HuffyPuffy....

Here's four Fleebagger recall efforts that are well "off the ground"...

Recall Wirch (has enough signatures - still collecting)
Recall Wirch

Recall Hansen (despite the theft of petitions - has enough sigs - still collecting )
Recall Senator Dave Hansen

Recall Holperin (still collecting signatures)
Recall Jim Holperin 12th District

Recall Miller (still collecting signatures due April 26th)
Recall Mark Miller

Well, we'll just see how it all shakes out then, won't we.

My position on WI as an outsider.

The people elected the governor, the people elected individuals to represent them.

If they got something more (or different) than they wanted, they elect someone different the next election cycle.

If they feel someone did something that rises to the level of recalling them from their position, the process should be undertaken. (Rising to the level doesn't mean that the people that got elected doen't share the same ideas as you.)


You don't flee the state if you are hired to represent the people.
You don't engage in breaking and entering other people's properties.


It's really that simple.

A filibuster is a permissible and recognized political action.

Fleeing the state you swore an oath to represent, not permissible.
Breaking and entering is not in the same league as filibustering. I feel sorry for you that I have to point that out.


My God. At least pretend to have some sort of higher order thinking skills going on. I would be embarrassed if I had the retorts that you present.

ThinkProgress » FLASHBACK: Abraham Lincoln Wrote Playbook For Wisconsin Dems Who Fled State

Abe Lincoln.. What a communist.

What a communist?


Are there any liberals on this forum that have the means to say anything remotely interesting or on topic?

You said an elected official fleeing from their job to keep an isn't permissable. I merely pointed out that Abraham Lincoln did the same thing; way before the Wisconsin 14 did. The communist crack was meant to be funny. Your side is always labeling people like the Wisconsin 14 communists.. Get it?

No, you have it completely wrong. They went above and beyond their obligations by leaving their homes and families to fight against a bill that Walker has since admitted had no effect on the budget and was only designed to tear down Unions and to push forward an assualt on the middle class.

Interesting concept of 'democracy' the democrats have. People vote, some people don't like the outcome. Recall.... all seems to be a tad against the will of the people. But I guess, to Democrats, the result only counts if they 'win'.

Shameful behavior.

Get off it. I'll bet you had no problem when Gray Davis was recalled in your state. It's a legal maneuver and if these recalls succeed, then the "will of the people" in those districts will have been expressed.

What do you call the election results in November if not the "will of the people?" You die-hard socialists make a decent person sick.

I'm glad your sig clarifies you are young.



However, hopefully there are not many young ones such as yourself that will need to be taught grown up thinking in order to turn this country around from the ridiculous nature Democrats have created. Fleeing and not meeting your sworn obligation is not the political process established for this country to flourish.

They did exactly as they had to do tp prevent legislative abuse. Managed to bring down the Republicans while they were at it

Here's a simple concept for you. STATES RIGHTS. That's what cons are all about, right? Well, WI has a recall law. It's a fucking LAW. There is nothing illegal or immoral about it. If the people of WI don't like the law, then they can lobby their congress people to change it. But seeing as how thousands of WI voters are participating in the recall process, I'd say it's fair to assume that at least some WI voters are fine with it. Stop crying over it. You sound ridiculous.

holy smokes. there is some real honor there.
Flee instead of standing up and fighting for what they thought was right.
And the Republican are STILL THERE so I don't see where they've TAKEN anyone down but themselves in the eyes of the American people, except for you hard core lefties who always pick PARTY over Country.

What does 2010 have to do with this? The voters of WI - or at least the ones signing these petitions - support the recall process in their state. That's called THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

Actually, I did have an issue with it. Some of us are capable of looking past partisan politics. You're just not intelligent enough to do so.

WHO are you & what have you done w/ our precious, hyper-partisan, kool aid drinking, CaliGirl? LOLOL

 

[SgtMeowenstein]

I just LOVE how the cons are freaking out over this. At first, they laughed it off and said 'Bring it on'. But now that it's not working in their favor, they're flying off the handle. They don't know what the hell to make of it. On one hand, they're all about state's rights; on the other hand.....

you might also want to talk about the 70 million they spent of our money trying to undo bill clinton's election.

Democracy in action

Recall them can't wait to see how much more damage the democrats will do to that state.
