RE :"The man does have backbone"

He is looking like the anti-Bush: someone who we can point to as an example of the success of the private sector to create private sector jobs jobs without government $$$, with a straight face.

I truly believe it is time for our great Governor, the Honorable Scott Walker, to begin to layoff state workers. Lots of state workers....to begin with, 10,000 or so. More later.

Government needs to be drastically pruned. People who rely on government funding (government employees; academics and "non-profit" employees who depend on government grants; welfare recipients; state contractors and suppliers) tend to vote for more government.

The only solution is a DRASTIC reduction in the size of the public sector, both in terms of public employment and in terms of spending. Make these people have to rely on the private sector for their income.

I read somewhere that polls show the Rep leading the dem in one race by over 15% in the rat recall.

Safe to say, we should pick up at-least one of those two.
If we can bag both of those rat bastards, the idiots will be back to exactly where they were, minus the 30+ million they wasted on recalls!

It was a nail-biter of a night, but in the end Republicans prevailed in 4 of the races while Democrats won only 2 - despite the boastful predictions from many Democrats in the days before the election that they thought they would sweep and win all 6 elections.

But there is something very important we ALL must be aware of. While reason won last night, we are not totally out of the woods yet.

Media outlets are reporting that 1 Republican State Senator may switch parties or vote against the GOP. That man is Senator Dale Schultz who was the ONLY Republican Senator who did not vote for Governor Scott Walker’s Budget Repair bill.

We can’t afford to see the Left win by flipping this weak sister in the GOP, thus we are going to go all out to win in the 2 RECALL campaigns against Democrats that take place next Tuesday. In fact, if we prevail in these two races the net gain for Democrats through this entire RECALL process will have been ZERO (0) seats. They will have spent more than $40 MILLION for nothing!

So let’s go out and finish the win. Let’s see those 2 Democrat Senators who abdicated their job duties and fled to Illinois lose their seats. Let’s make the Left eat crow for ever starting these shameful RECALL campaigns to punish Republicans who actually DID do their jobs.

“What are the chances of bagging these two rat next week? Are the odds are good?”

The race up North Dem. Holperin Vs Rep. Simac(Tea Party) odds are real good for a pick off.

The other race - is against a Dem in the Kenosha area - I don’t know, but that one is doubtful.

It was disheartening to read the paper this morning with that witch Shilling crowing about her victory. In her countless ads, with a lot of money from Big Union, plastered on tv Shilling never once told the truth: her party almost spent the state into insolvency. But she played on voters emotions. Unfortunately, Kapanke’s ads did little to counter the emotion. Shilling is a prime example of a deranged leftist pol who will try her best to spend every last dollar of Wisconsin taxpayers income.
