if the no right to work types and public union thugs win this battle it will hurt us....bad

if we win....it will ripple across the land like a muslim brotherhood uprising....infectious

the unions and their dem handlers know this so i hope walker knows if he picked the right battle he can win

imagine a right to work nation?

i never knew Wisconsin was this full of libs...how do u stand it?
is it the part of Europe they came from there?

a sorry bunch of white folks...yall should kick them out to Illinois or kali or mass

Absolutely right. The Democrats have achieved what they have achieved by a combination of corruption and gall. Someone needs to get in their face and tell them exactly and precisely what kind of schmucks they really are.

I mean, other than Sarah Palin.


Ummm....Sarah Palin just dissed the Birthers....is going weak on gays....supported McCain over Hayworth in AZ....supports Illegal Alien Amnesty.....

Palin is the wrong person to tell someone to toe the Conservative line. One must be a conservative to lead like a conservative. Do not send in squishy to handle squishy

I have a website, too...It’s not very good. Maybe you can give me some pointers.

Since this isn’t my thread, I’ll send you an FR mail with the link.

“Dale is committed to find a way to preserve collective bargaining in the future,”

Dale is a RINO...and a wuss. Doesn’t he know that his (supposed) side is winning?

“Mr. Schultz was first elected to the state senate in 1991 and was the Republican majority leader in 2005 and 2006. He earned a reputation for working across party lines and was endorsed in his 2010 re-election bid by the state’s largest teacher’s employee. He won with nearly 65 percent of the vote.”

Well...waddya know...he can’t accept the fact the the conservatives won. Crossing party lines is a habit this fellow needs to break.......FAST!

“We’re willing to take this as long as it takes because in the end we’re doing the right thing for Wisconsin,” Mr. Walker said.”

Good onya, Gov. Walker! Be strong, and keep the faith!

F'in RINOs once again trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Sometimes it seems like they are being bought off by the other side.

They figure that if they play ball with the Dems, the press will go easy on them and not report their affairs and such.

The Left would prefer a Dem in a particular district, but if the voters are conservative they will settle for a RINO. The way to accomplish that is to hold Republicans to the moral standards of angels, not report antics of RINOs unless they turn conservative, and not report antics of Dems at all.

True leaders NEVER COMPROMISE. Each time a timid, meek, and weak RINO compromises, the enemy (progressives) win an inch of their agenda.

1 inch plus 1 inch equals 2 inches. 12 inches equals a foot and so on.... Get the idea?

No matter what, each time a politician gives an inch, the goals of the Marxists, Communists, and Progressives comes one inch closer.

No! No Compromise on anything!

Moderate Republicans... stink like three week old banana peels.

Them and a dog pee-soaked carpet are just about equivalent IMO. Okay, I take that back. A pee-soaked carpet won’t help destroy our nation.

Moderate and Republican are a contradiction in terms.

Actual blood Republicans are never moderate.

I should admit though, that only about 5% of the people who think they are a Republican, actually agree with the ideals of a true Republican.

“So far, there’s little evidence of a move to compromise. “Won’t happen, won’t happen, won’t happen,” said Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald. The Juneau Republican said he spoke with every member of his caucus over the weekend and they remained “rock solid” in their support for Walker’s plan, even if they had some internal disagreements earlier.”

Why can't they vote on the collective bargaining items outside the budget? This means they could do it without the rats showing up.

“Compromise,” to a moderate, means give the RATS what they want and pretend we’re getting something in return.

Enough of these traitors in our own party. >:-(

You don’t compromise with your enemies, you defeat them. Don’t give in, you cowards. Stand your ground and put the brakes on the endless money pit known as public employee unions.

Sometimes it seems like they are being bought off by the other side.

From the article: Mr. Schultz was first elected to the state senate in 1991 and was the Republican majority leader in 2005 and 2006. He earned a reputation for working across party lines and was endorsed in his 2010 re-election bid by the state's largest teacher's employee. He won with nearly 65 percent of the vote.

Yes, it would “seem” so.
