We shall see.

There are no rules of procedure any more in WI. I'm not yet convinced he isn't setting a trap.

 

[California Girl]

Depends on how you look at it. From one perspective, he caves. From another, he's playing the polls, by appearing to have offered compromises, thus making the Dems look bad.

 

[Article 15]

The WI 14 should not agree to anything unless Walker and the Senate GOP send 5 GOP Senators to Illinois to assure there wont be any funny stuff when they come back.

 

[Big Black Dog]

I hope he makes cheese out of all the Democrats...

Un-be-fucking-lievable.

Exactly. The governor has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that he cannot be trusted.

Damn right. He's on tape saying he is willing to lie to get his way.

The left are getting all faux outraged again. I like Walker, just for that.

The Dems have looked bad all along. Walker had my support because he had stuck to his guns. Now, it APPEARS he is reacting to polls, like a typical politician.

He has? How is that exactly? Walker has openly stated what he wants from day one. It was the cowardly Dems who took flight and went into hiding...

He may be. He may not be. I don't have enough hard fact to know either way. I'm highly entertained by the claims of 'beyond reasonable doubt' though. That's some hysterical unthinking claptrap right there.

For saying he thought about planting troublemakers in the crowd for starters. For publicly saying he wouldn't negogiate while privately doing so for seconds.

 

[Anachronism]

Assuming that he is actually interested in compromising on this issue; there goes ANY chance he had at nomination for a National Office. His own party would eat him alive.

It's the Democrats who have stuck to their guns, and because they did, they bought enough time for everyone to see where the People are on these issues,

overwhelmingly in support of collective bargaining rights.

And this makes him worse than the cowardly Democrats who fled the state in an attempt to get out of doing their jobs, and will probably charge the state for their lodging, meal and travel expenses if they ever get the courage to come home? Bullshit.

And are "the people" ready for a tax increase to help pay for said bargaining rights for state employees?

 

[ClosedCaption]

So lets see, he doesnt compromise and he's "standing on principal" but when he caves hes "showing up the dems"....

Man, there is just no wrong in the Republican party
