Wisconsin: Don't Retreat or Reload...Recall!

Why try to recall republicans who are just doing their jobs? Can't wait until the next election? Want to show the world how a bunch of radical lefties can intimidate a state? Incindiary terms like "retreat" and "reload" are part of the left wing intimidation tactics. The darling of the radical left (and political mentor to the president), murderer and bomber Bill Ayers, is an example of the way the left uses intimidation and terrorism rather than work within the system.
 
Count how many of the top 20 campaign donors are unions:

Top All-Time Donors, 1989-2010 | OpenSecrets

The answer:

11

And note how the vast majority of their money went to the Dems. This is really what the Fracas is all about: keeping the money laundering scheme of funneling taxpayer dollars to unions, who then donate back to the Dems for pay and bennies, wash rinse repeat.
Representing tens of millions of Americans engaged in productive labor.

Contrast that with the $900,000 + Goldman Sachs donated to Obama. More than four times what it gave to McCain.

It is not the "money laundering scheme" between taxpayers, elected Democrats and unions that inflated and collapsed housing and credit bubbles.

That was Wall Street working with Republicans AND Democrats with more than a little help from the Federal Reserve.

The shifting of the tax burden off Finance, Insurance and Real Estate over the last three decades is one big reason states like Wisconsin are in deficit today.
 
All the way to 2012 and beyond.

Wisconsin is where Main Street begins hitting back at Wall Street.

Class War comes to America.



HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You poor little booby. Big Unions bear as much resemblance to Main Street as Henry Waxman does to Clark Gable.
Who's primarily responsible for Wisconsin's deficit, "Big Unions" or Wall Street?

When you look at Scott Walker, does he remind you of Ronald Reagan or Sarah Palin?
Donna Reed, especially around the eyes.

:razz:
 
This reminds me of a scene from "Titanic". Shortly after hitting the iceberg, Mr. Andrews, the Captain and Bruce Ismay gather in the captain's cabins to discuss the dire nature of the situation. When Mr. Andrews states the ship will founder one of the best set of lines in the movie occur:

Ismay: "This ship can't sink!"
Andrews: "She's made of Iron, Sir! I assure you... she can!"
 
After their recent service to corporate America, Wisconsin State Senators wasted little time jetting into DC to collect their pay.

Outside the offices of BGR Group (the "B" stands for Barbour, as in Hayley) "as many as 1000 workers, students, union activists and allies filled the streets of downtown Washington."

"Many surged into the building where the senators met with lobbyists who paid as much a $5,000 to 'host' the gathering to thank the Wisconsin Republicans."

"They DC protesters chanted many of the same unions slogans that have been heard at mass protests in Wisconsin.

"And they picked up a political slogan as well: 'Recall!'

"Across Wisconsin, citizens are gathering petition signatures to force recall elections that could remove as many as eight GOP senators who backed the governor's anti-union bill.

"If just three seats (including Darling's) flip to the Democrats, Fitzgerald will no longer be majority leader and Walker's agenda will suddenly face serious legislative hurdles.

"Mocking the Tea Party rhetoric about gunplay and 'Second Amendment Solutions,' one protester in DC held a sign that read: 'We Don't Reload, We Recall!'"

Wisconsin Senators...

Absolutely hilarious.

The Dems shirk their responsibility and leave the state like criminals, and they want to recall the Republicans that stayed and did their jobs.

If this BS works and GOP members get recalled anywhere the pitchforks will come out.

My suggestion to any lefties is they'd better hope that they don't get enough signatures because this is about to get ugly.

The state of wisconsin allows for the recalls and it is up to the people of that state and their districts to make that call. If the people realize that they do not like what the republicans now in charge represent then they can recall them.

So how can you be both for and against the will of the people??
 
Retreat? Reload? Didn't you socialist radicals get the memo about inflamatory speech? Now let me get this straight, radical lefties think the democrats who abandoned their posts and fled to another state should stay but republicans should be recalled for doing their jobs? The world is upside down to liberals.
How many elected Wisconsin Republicans campaigned on overturning collective bargaining rights?

How many elected Wisconsin Republicans campaigned on overturning collective bargaining rights?

Or MORE to the POINT? How many voted for what was right on budgetary considerations as Wisconsin is in the hole and cannot meet obligations as they presently exist?

Wisconsin Senators...
I agree. The 14 fleebaggers should be recalled.

Oh wait... you meant the Governor and Republicans who stayed and did their job as requested by the electorate that put them in power, and not the whiny bitches throwing a tantrum in the capital idolizing those punks who ran away?

You're fucking nuts.
The governor and other Republicans in Wisconsin did not campaign on overturning collective bargaining rights.

From Madison to DC the "job" most elected Republicans are doing is one of deflection. Instead of placing the blame for budget shortfalls where it belongs, namely rising corporate executive pay and profits while refusing to hire more workers or Wall Street $billions taxed at 15% instead of 35%, Republicans choose to target public sector union benefits:

"In The Nation, Eric Alterman assails the Republican-controlled Congress’s decision to scrap the popular and effective Build America Bonds program as an act of little-noticed class warfare:

"'These bonds, which make up roughly 20 percent of all new debt sold by states and local governments because of a federal subsidy equivalent to some 35 percent of interest costs, ended on December 31, as Republicans proved unwilling even to consider renewing them. The death of the program could prove devastating to states’ future borrowing.'"

That's fucking nuts.

At least as fucking nuts as expecting Republicans OR Democrats to vote against the class interests of the 1% of Americans who fund their campaigns.

CommonDreams...

:eusa_shhh:
The $4 trillion question is why Wisconsin is in the hole and can't meet its obligations?

Is it collective bargaining rights and genuine corruption between union officials and elected Democrats or the much bigger corruption between Wall Street and elected Democrats and Republicans across the country?

"Who’s screwing whom?

"Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich is calling for a sense of perspective on public sector wages and benefits. In AlterNet he argues that the people who are really making a killing in this economy are the ultra-rich, not school teachers and garbage collectors:

"'Public servants are convenient scapegoats. Republicans would rather deflect attention from corporate executive pay that continues to rise as corporate profits soar, even as corporations refuse to hire more workers.

"'They don’t want stories about Wall Street bonuses, now higher than before taxpayers bailed out the Street.

"'And they’d like to avoid a spotlight on the billions raked in by hedge-fund and private-equity managers whose income is treated as capital gains and subject to only a 15 percent tax, due to a loophole in the tax laws designed specifically for them.'"

Do you see the connection between Wall Street's bonus pool and Wisconsin's budget deficit?
 
barackobama.com had a national call to action to get people to Madison WI. I have no idea what the ratio was, but this was clearly an astroturfed effort.

Most were getting paid - they were collecting their pay via taking sick leave (remember the doctors handing out fake medical excuses).

About 30 tractors showed up. Big Whoop.

Capitol Chaos: Tractors Join Madison Protesters | Newsradio 620 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin News, Talk, Sports, Weather | Local Headlines

Considering that the 89% of the labor force that is not unionized have weekends off (or other days depending upon work schedules), the purpose of unions for work hours and conditions was served decades ago. We have labor laws and civili service codes that protect both private sector and public sector workers.

Your last question is specious. It requires supporting your position that Walker and Goldman Sachs are cojoined. They are not. I wll say, however, that considering the violence of the protestors, it's very reasonable that the people who support Walker are showing it via emails, phone calls etc. instead of enduring the vulgarity and threats of the protesters who have issues fatwas on those who dare to record and criticize them:

Ann Althouse, a blogger and University of Wisconsin law professor, has provided extensive firsthand accounts and photos — along with her husband Meade — of the Wisconsin protests and related matters.

Althouse has criticized the actions of the Democratic lawmakers who left the state as well as the behavior of some of the protesters.

Amid the numerous death threats against GOP state lawmakers, the ripping up of Democratic recall petitions and university professors musing about justifications for “political violence,” it was only a matter of time before the union/left rabble would turn their ire toward Althouse.

In an unsigned “Operation: Countertroll” screed, they declare, “Your city of Madison privileges have been revoked.”

The foul-mouthed message of intimidation is crystal-clear. This passage is (almost) profanity free:

“We are at every coffee shop on State, open to close, all the time. We will hang up wanted posters of you everywhere you like to go. We will picket on public property as close to your house as we can every day. We will harass the ever-loving sh*t out of you all the time. Campus is OCCUPIED. State Street is OCCUPIED. The Square is OCCUPIED. Vilas, Schenk’s Corners, Atwood, WillyStreet — Occupied, Occupied, Occupied, Occupied.”

The screed goes on to say that Althouse must be silent from now on and make a variety of payoffs to various left-wing causes. Otherwise, she and her husband must leave the state ... though they weren’t quite so polite.

So this is what democracy looks like?


The New Civility: Blogger Ann Althouse

Here's the entire screed:

Op:countertroll Vs Althouse and Meade
"Farmers joined thousands of pro-labor demonstrators at the State Capitol today.

"The farmers paraded around Madison, behind the wheels of more than 30 tractors, saying the fight isn't over."

Thousands of pro-labor supporters and exactly zero anti-labor supporters. Where are Scott Walker's supporters? 30 tractors (big whoop) for labor and zero tractors for Walker.(zero whoop)

Walker and Goldman Sachs are conjoined by Charles and David Koch and the BGR Group in Washington DC.

Russ Feingold said it best:

"Today, Wednesday March 16th, Republican state senators from Wisconsin are in Washington, D.C. attending a big fundraiser at the headquarters of a corporate lobbying firm.

"That's less than one week after Republicans rammed through an anti-worker bill that polls showed was heavily opposed by Wisconsinites -- but was heavily favored by corporate lobbyists," said Feingold. "If your senator is Scott Fitzgerald of Juneau, Glenn Grothman of West Bend, or Alberta Darling of River Hills, your senator is at the fundraiser.

"But no matter where you are in Wisconsin, your interests just got sold out to big corporate interests."

The labor struggle in Wisconsin has not been without violence, and from a historical perspective it is the side championed by Ann Althouse and her husband that has committed the biggest crimes.

Punishing Ann for speaking against labor can't be justified, but it isn't likely she and Meade will face the same test as the 14,000 Wisconsin workers striking for an eight hour work day confronted in Milwaukee on May Day 1861:

"The Bay View Massacre (sometimes also referred to as the Bay View Tragedy) was the culmination of events that began on Saturday May 1, 1886 when 7,000 building-trades workers joined with 5,000 Polish laborers who had organized at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to strike against their employers, demanding an eight-hour work day.

"By Monday, these numbers had increased to over 14,000 workers that gathered at the Milwaukee Iron Company rolling mill in Bay View.

"They were met by 250 National Guardsmen under order from Republican Governor Jeremiah M. Rusk to 'shoot to kill' any strikers who attempted to enter.

"Workers camped in the nearby fields and the Kosciuszko Militia arrived by May 4. Early the next day the crowd, which by this time contained children, approached the mill and were fired upon. Seven people died as a result, including a thirteen-year-old boy.[1] Several more were injured during the protest."

Ancient history?

When Ronald Reagan fired striking air traffic controllers in 1981 many in his base thought it impossible to roll back union membership to the levels we see today.

And that was before the richest 0.01% of Americans tripled their "fair" share of national income.

Weak. 11 of the top 20 donors are unions, many representing public employees who are covered by civil service protections. The only reason for donating to politicians is to stick it to taxpayers for even higher pay and benefits, and less work to boot.

Truth BITES once again. Kudos.
 
The Gov should put out a bulletin for the taxpayers of his State.

In that bulletin should be all the sweetheart deals that were granted to the Unions and exactly what it was costing the taxpayers of WI.

Wonder how many of the taxpayers would be signing a recall for the Reps??

Wonder how many would be signing a recall for the fleebagger Dems??
That bulletin should also note Walker's contribution to Wisconsin's budget deficit:

From Milwaukee JS Online:

"One of the most pernicious myths surrounding the Wisconsin budget showdown is Gov. Scott Walker's claim that the state is 'broke,' there is nothing to negotiate and the only solution is to mandate massive reductions in public employee compensation and to abolish their collective bargaining rights.

"This is nonsense. Wisconsin has not gone into the red because of excessively generous pay and benefits negotiated by unions for state and local employees. Our deficit has grown because the Great Recession blew a hole in the state budget, as it did in virtually every state in the country...

Walker's claiming a $137 million shortfall in the current biennial budget at the same time he increased the deficit by giving away $117 million in business tax breaks.

Wisconsin's economy suffers from the same affliction as every other state (except North Dakota).

Wall Street greed enhance by US voters believing a "choice" between Republican OR Democrat changes anything Wall Street does.

Obama didn't campaign on wrecking the dollar... but here we are.

Instead of placing the blame for budget shortfalls where it belongs, namely rising corporate executive pay and profits while refusing to hire more workers or Wall Street $billions taxed at 15% instead of 35%, Republicans choose to target public sector union benefits:

Wow... from the 'fucking stupid' file. You've no concept of economic cause and effect do you?

So the republicans control the senate now too? The only ones focused on class warfare are the leftists who desire to segregate people and play them against each other.

"William Charles "Bill" Ayers (born December 26, 1944)[1] is an American elementary education theorist and a former leader in the movement that opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

"He is known for his 1960s activism as well as his current work in education reform, curriculum, and instruction. In 1969 he co-founded the Weather Underground, a self-described communist revolutionary group[2] that conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings during the 1960s and 1970s, in response to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

"He is a retired professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, formerly holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar."

Ayer's violence was in response to US killing in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Millions in those countries died so right-wing radicals in the US could celebrate their "shining city on a hill" while assassinating John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

Obama and Walker serve at Wall Street's discretion. Neither one could have raised enough money to win high office without the blessings of Big Money. If the dollar has died and nobody's noticed, it will be the richest 1% of Americans who benefit initially.

Feel free to explain the economic concept of cause and effect as it applies to the $12.9 trillion in bailouts and guarantees US taxpayers awarded the richest two percent of Americans.

"Thanks largely to the $13 trillion Wall Street bailout – while keeping the debt overhead in place for America’s 'bottom 98 per cent' – this happy 2 per cent of the population now receives an estimated three quarters (~75 per cent) of the returns to wealth (interest, dividends, rent and capital gains).

"This is nearly double what it received a generation ago. The rest of the population is being squeezed, and foreclosures are rising."

Obama's Greatest Betrayal...

Is "whackaloon hooey" anything like corporate whoring?
