PROTEST GOES INTO FOURTH DAY

Madison — Gov. Scott Walker will deliver his budget address on Tuesday as planned but delay for at least a week the unveiling of the 2011-'13 state budget bill.

Here! here!. There are plenty of teachers out of work in this country who would love to have the salary and benefits these jerks do. I agree, all that do not show up for class on Monday morning by noon will not have a job by the end of the day. Once they lose all their benefits maybe they will appreciate what they do have and stop sucking the life blood out of those not employed by some government agency.

Since the Rats have dissappeared and are not reporting for work on their own accord, the State should consider these voluntary resignations and the governor should appoint replacements.

See how long you keep your non-union job by walking out and disappearing for several days.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

They’ve called a general strike without calling it a general strike.

All the Republicans have to do is absolutely nothing. And eventually the general strikers will lose everything.

Wisconsin should be making and collecting videos of all of these protesters and rioters, studying them, and preparing to FIRE every single individual who can be identified who was out protesting on the taxpayers' dime, collecting sick leave while they tear up Madison. Criminal charges should also be filed against these felons, who are fraudulently using benefits intended to cover illness in order to maintain their paychecks while they rape the taxpayers of Wisconsin.

Methinks that if they get out of hand and shut down private economic activity in the state for a few more days, that docking the pay thing will be a mute concern.

Try and imagine the number of private employers who have been dealing with unprecedented personnel absence because a significant number of key personnel do not dare send their kids to a rally, and can not trust leave them unsupervised. Figger that number out @ Fed/State/FICA/SS/MED tax rate X number lost man hours. No one should waste time tossing in the lost business and damaged relationship to other parties, those evil rich bastards must just suck that up for the good of the children.

These turds cut your nose to spite their own face. In the end, the public employees will all be paid for every minute of this.

This will likely get ugly and degenerate to violence.

I actually advocate violence lately, as it delineates lines and settles things for a time.

Meanwhile, the Obama girls areenjoying their educational experience at a safe, drug free, Private Christian School.

This is the very last thing that President Obama and his Teacher Union Thugs will allow for your children...

They did, I think they hid out in Oklahoma until the session ended.

No, House Democrats came back after the Republicans agreed to not bring up the redistricting bill in the regular session.

Then, the governor called a special session. The Democrats prevented the redistricting bill from being brought to the floor of the Senate under rules that require 2/3rd of Senators to approve.

The governor called another special session 30 minutes later, after finding a way around the 2/3rds rule. This time the Senate Democrats fled to New Mexico.

A month later, John Whitmire returned, restoring the quorum and the redistricting bill passed. His stated reason for doing so was that he wished to preserve consensus in the state Senate instead of allowing no-holds-barred partisan civil war to continue. BTW, Whitmire is generally considered a good guy even by conservatives, and I'm surprised he went along with this nonsense, albeit temporarily.

Yep, this is a spiritual war for the soul of America, and right now Wisconsin is ground zero. Chuck Peirce(a minster of God) had a prophecy about the ruling spirit of Wisconsin being Intellectualism, we should pray against that strongholds. The strongholds are coming down. The Lord is raising up a standard.
