‘Walkerville’ camp at Capitol Square in the works to protest budget (here we go again)

With lawmakers gearing up for a vote on the state budget, a “Walkerville” camp similar to the one that sprang up during the protests at the state Capitol earlier this year may be returning this weekend — this time to the terraces of Mifflin and Carroll streets.

We Are Wisconsin, an alliance of community groups, labor unions and others, has asked the city for a permit to set up the camp across from the Capitol to provide information about Gov. Scott Walker’s budget proposals and efforts to recall Republican legislators who voted to eliminate bargaining rights for most public employees.

Here we go again...

[Thunder90]

PING! The Capitol Square Farmers Market is going to be replaced by a bunch of stinky hippie protesters who will storm the capitol at the drop of a hat.

“We are Wisconsin”???? No, you’re not ... you’re fat-a**ed government employees who are only working for the government because you’re too incompetent to be hired by private industry.

[Tzimisce]

Not enough parking for the Mercedes and Limos?

[chris_bdba]

Just start calling it “Obamaville” for anyone who will listen As in “It is a shame that all of thse Obamaville’s are springing up everywhere areound the country with the high unemployment numbers and all”....perhaps they will skink away when they think people aren’t paying attetnion to their cause but to their own worries?

[fwdude]

What do these people do that they have so much spare time on their hands?

[glock rocks]

I read the title as "Wankerville."

Wait, what?

Twice. So I clicked on it.

Well, yah. Dyslexia sometimes works.

[DoughtyOne]

I sure hope the Capital police have brushed up on their policies and tactics. The last fiasco was disgusting.

These people should not be allowed in the capital building, and any non-compliance with the state police should merit some stiff penalties.

Call in the national guard if you have to. Make some arrests. File some serious charges. See them through.

[tubebender]

If this ever happens in Benderville I will send out the water canons loaded with cheap wine...

[glock rocks]

Radical!

I’ll bring the Costco cups!

[Hunton Peck]

...and a big portion of ‘em have probably been bused in from someplace else.

WI: Red Cross reschedules blood drive after Capitol protests became too loud to continue

It's time to do something, we need to take back the "people's house" in Madison.

Hindsight tells me that skunk Texas beer would work better...

[SouthTexas]

I think your title is much more appropriate.

Wisconsin Politics Ping List Ping!

[SouthTexas]

We’ve got some pond water down here that’s pretty ripe considering it hasn’t rained in months.

Shouldn’t abuse alcohol.

[Mygirlsmom]

Oooh, the opportunities!! - if only I could get my hands on some patriotic-themed surgical masks and earphones - Any normal person who needs to frequent the area would likely welcome them-and they’d make a nice counter-statement besides.

[glock rocks]

Shouldn’t abuse alcohol.

That statement just stands on its own. Prayers for Wisconsin. They are blessed with a leader. Prayers for our republic, which is led by a puppet of unknown evil.

Where oh where do these people find the time between their work shifts to do this stuff? /s

[SouthTexas]

think yours was better. :)

[gitmo]

What a coincidence. I’m going camping this weekend, too. Bear country.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Brilliant!! :)

[Free Vulcan]

Ha, so did I!

More fitting anyway.

They are all living off the government. Many are state and local government employees whose supervisors (who agree with them) look the other way. 50-60% of Dane County residents are living off the taxpayers or are students living off their parents.

[Indy Pendance]

We’re so tired of the crap. We’ll keep on fighting, we’ll beat this battle. We are not going away. This is another battle to tackle. Bring it on, SUCKERS. Wisconsin is not lib, we never have been. We’re fighting back the cities that pretend our state follows them in lock step. Bring it on.

I'm sure the timing (this weekend) has nothing to do with schools letting out for the summer. All those overworked teachers with their next ten weeks of paid slack on their hands...

[creeping death]

I’m pretty much to the point where Madison could get nuked and I wouldn’t shed any tears.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Aim true because I’m only 10 miles south, LOL!

The tide really is turning. I hope they protest long and loudly again! The rest of the state is TOTALLY fed up with Madistan, the Unionistas, the Hippies, the state workers, the teachers, etc.

It truly is p*ssing off many hard-working citizens throughout the state...which bodes well for us in the upcoming recall elections, and I think had a lot to do with the Judge Prosser win on our Supreme Court. :)

[Cheerio]

an alliance of community groups, labor unions and others,

They should call it Obozoville.

[creeping death]

Yeah now I heard today on Belling’s show that Rats from Illinois are going to come up and flood Alberta Darling’s district and rally for her opponent.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ve never seen a union thug that wasn’t complaining about not making enough money. Those are some greedy bass turds. They aren’t very fond of paying taxes either. They are always trying to come up with some scheme to beat the taxman.

[Gene Eric]

We gotta’ stand by this guy, Walker.

In the last month I have been to both a funeral and a wedding where gratuitous leftist politics have been added to the ceremonies. I have never seen anything like it. The Dems in this town and the teachers all over the state seem to have lost their minds. Although, at the wedding, the mother of the groom was a teacher and the very first thing that they did after the ceremony was apologize to us for the little political barb that the “minister” added to the ceremony.

[madinmadtown]

The government workers are in fact the millionaires. If a small business owner were to retire at 55 and receive $50,000.00 per year in retirement, not uncommon for teachers, at the bank interest rates at the moment, if he lived to be 75 he would have to have a million dollars put away, not counting the health benefits that the unions also receive. If that same teacher lived to 85, it would be a million and a half. These government workers are the true untaxed millionaires.

[The Pack Knight]

Full employment for the D.C. cleanup crews, at least. Remember how much trash the last rent-a-mob left?

[Daus]

Yep, Public School teachers on their 3 month vacation complaining about how badly they are treated. Only interupting thier protests to go to water parks at the Dells and to check email on their Tax Payer supplied iPads.

[DonkeyBonker]

It will give the teachers something to do over the summer while they are brushing up their resumes.

[balch3]

Walker’s mistake was in not sending in the police with tear gas and billy clubs back when all this started. If the union thug cops disobeyed his orders, he should have fired them and brought in private security to do it.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...for the little political barb that the “minister” added to the ceremony.”

That’s just insane. But, not unexpected in these parts.

I think Dane County is going to get the kick in the teeth it SO deserves. Taxpayers are leaving in droves, and it pains me to say it, but our new, old Mayor Soglin is looking like he’ll kick some liberal @ss in this town, LOL!

Just think - Mayor Dave is GONE. Kathleen *SPIT* Falk is GONE! We have a Governor that’s NOT going to take cr@p from Dane or Milwaukee counties.

We’re at a tipping point, I’m thinking. :) Of course, the LibTards won’t take this lying down, but still...’tis SWEET! :)

[madinmadtown]

It is unbelievable that Mayor Soglin would appear to be a voice of relative sanity....it actually is a pretty sorry state.
That being said, some of the more civil leftists in this state have lost that civility recently. I can't explain in detail a lot more, but they seem to be scared, as in really scared of some presence that hasn't been in this state before.
You were right about the barb not being unexpected, we were a bit surprised at the apology because we are used to being in places where conservatives are bashed with abandon.
What has surprised me lately is the number of people who have come up to someone I know rather well and say in a whisper so as to not be heard by anyone else around “Keep up the good work” because this person is well known for making a very public stand for our side. Sometimes these people are strangers and sometimes they are people known a long time, but not known as conservatives.
We are living in interesting times.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Be still, my heart!

[Bellflower]

You name a town or a ville after someone you respect and want to lift up. These people are so dumb they don’t even realize that they have it backwards from what they actually intend are lifting Walker up. Yeah!
