“Isn’t it amazing that, no matter where it happens, Democrats are ALWAYS able to pick off one crucial Republican vote, but it seems that Republicans are NEVER able to pick off the one crucial Democrat vote?”

That’s why “The Bobsy Twins” from Maine need to go. They have “hinges on their heels” when it comes to “giving it up” for the RATs. Rather have a RAT in a seat than a RINO. At least you know going in that you are not going to have their vote.

Outrage Grows After Wisconsin Democrats Sabotage Jobs

I don't understand the outrage just because of money, for crying out loud we can all live happily ever after in a clean "earthly" environment on other peoples money without those dirty, filthy jobs can't we?

The GOP establishment always makes sure there is at least one vote, or however many is needed, to lose.

It's always too conveniently close not to be the case these days isn't it.

Just wondering why an article from a John Birch Society bi-weekly magazine is in breaking news, especially since this is relatively old news in Wisconsin?

“Wisconsin Democrats are DEATHLY AFRAID of Scott Walker’s surging economy. They can’t have that!”

Walker needs to pound this all day every day. Draw a contrast between the Democrat pimps for poverty and Republican efforts to land jobs for the state.

There are several examples of very upset private union leaders speaking out very strongly against this action

Ironically, those same private-sector unions had no problem last year backing the public-sector unions (AFSCME, SEIU, et al) when they spent tens of millions of dollars recalling TWO of our senators. Those two senators would have voted in favor of those mining jobs.

Karma sucks. Deal with it, jackasses. (Not referring to you, bigbob.)

My strong guess is that Schultz was black mailed, bribed or threatened. He was given a ton of concessions, but obviously irrational, nothing would budge him. Was he afraid for the safety of himself or his family? Something was going on and it would be very interesting if we could get to the bottom of it. I hope he doesn’t end up dead, as a loose end needing to be cut off.

It takes a liberal to raze a village!

Best quote of the month!!

And in the case of the Republican turncoat, “It takes one village idiot to help them do it.”

Doesn’t Schultz always vote with the Democrats? He voted against the public sector union reforms. He is the definition of RINO.

Here is what you need to understand about Democrats.

They possess a Mob Mentality that Common Sense, Facts and Reason cannot overcome. It is part of their DNA, they know they are wrong but it doesn't matter as long as they win the day.

People think Democrat Politicians care about them when in reality the people they elect laugh at them. They are nothing but Useful Idiots.

RINO Senator Schultz knows he is the lynch pin and he is a legend in his own mind. Last year the rumor was that Schultz would switch to the Democrat Party to give them control of the State Senate.

He is a Jim Jeffords without the “jumpin”, at least not yet.

They just want to make sure they own the politics and control the person who represents the north.”

Isn’t that the basis of a representative form of government. The people have control over who represents them. Seems kind of arrogant for him to say that. I guess he just admitted that he had/has no intention of doing what his constituents want.

"...he said in a statement. “They just want to make sure they own the politics and control the person who represents..."

Uhhhhh.... Isn't that what a "government of the people, for the people and by the people" means? What am I missing here?

Slightly more than 15,000 signatures are needed to force a recall, and LaBarre is confident she can reach that in the two months allotted for the process.

That should take a couple weeks with a good campain.
