But I'm not negotiating.

Lurker - are you really Scott Walker? :-)

Nice plug for the Governor from the article...
The Governor takes many calls everyday. Throughout this call the Governor maintained his appreciation for and commitment to civil discourse. He continued to say that the budget repair bill is about the budget. The phone call shows that the Governor says the same thing in private as he does in public and the lengths that others will go to disrupt the civil debate Wisconsin is having.

Big deal. The governor has repeatedly said he’s not going to negotiate because he can’t.

I do not know all the details of the prank and do not really care.

The highlighted text was great by the Gov. “They can yell at me.” “whatever - but I am NOT negotiating” LOL! Love. Stay tough WI and Gov. Walker. You have a lot of fans.

I have an idea for Walker, it would be a bit dishonest, but then again everything is fair in love and war...

my idea...

Cave...tell the unions they win, you will strip the provisions they don't like, let the democrats come home in triumph. And as soon as all the crowds go home and the democrats are back in the senate. Ram the original bill through with guards at the doors to keep the dems from leaving.

It’s time to invoke the photo rule. Walker is a nice looking man.

Photo mandatory.

The head of someone on his staff should role. They allowed him to take that call without ascertaining the actual identity of the caller. There are standard procedures and practices to ensure this doesn’t happen, and obviously they were not followed. Crappy staff work.

The crisis will end when the democrats realize how foolish they look by running away from their jobs.

This backfired on the left. Walker said the same things on the phone to the fraud caller that he said in public. The left is trying to make something of this, but all it shows is Walker’s honesty, and the dishonesty of the fraudulent “reporter” who make the bogus call.

Exactly. Gov. Walker has been very consistent with his message.

Eventually the Gov is going to get what he wants. The only question is...do the dems want to drag this out and risk unneeded layoffs.

"Who taught him to negotiate like that?" ... "I wonder, I wonder."

Great movie and wonderful/appropriate lines!

Now all you need to do is provide pictures of his "negotiation" headshot... "Anyone else want to negotiate?"

The way of the left is dishonesty and subterfuge.
