Someone needs to remind Mr. Schulz that this is FARGING WAR!

When will they learn....we don’t elect them to “compromise” with JACKASSES. They are sent to serve our best interests, not those of the DUmocrats and compromise only leads to appeasement and surrender of our principles to accomodate the wishes of the LIEberal minority.

He might want to make sure you are I are not idly walking by and deck the bastard. I hope he is wearing a white shirt, from experience a bloody jaw messes it real good.

Ya know, I’ve got more respect for the rats who ran to Chicago. They are at least standing on their principle, and showed more balls than this sorry excuse. They knew what they were risking, and followed their conscience, misguided as it may be. This clown is corrupt or spineless, and the (R) behind his name means nothing other at this juncture.

“Wisconsin owes 3 billion Qbert.”

Wisconsin has a total state debt of $17,971,519,547 when calculated by adding the total of outstanding debt, pension and OPEB UAAL’s, unemployment trust funds and the 2010 budget gap as of July 2010.

Perhaps it’s as simple as having some kind of drive or delusion of being a hero. I really do think that’s at least one thing that motivates McPain. He wants to be seen as a man for all seasons, a statesman who rises to the top to calm and resolve disputes. It’s selfish. It’s about them personally, not the people who elected them. I think that’s one reason why McPain supports shamnesty. He wants the wetbacks and the people who employ them to admire and adore him.

"Dale is committed to find a way to preserve collective bargaining in the future," said Mr. Allbaugh in a telephone interview.

Shultz is committed to collectivism, if not now, then as soon as it is possible. Mr. Shultz has an interest in committing sparse government resources to collectivism. Come on, guys, he's trying really hard to help y'all out... throw the guy a bone, he seems like he's good for it... nobody's gonna know where it came from.

Follow the money.

Compromise=surrender in this case. Since when does the majority party “compromise” with the minority on this vital issue? Let some other future legislature cave in 2013 and beyond. This wasn’t supposed to be a temporary measure. It was meant for the long term solvency of the state and it helps local governments.

In the case of WI, the Reps control the Governor’s office, the Senate and the House. If the Reps can’t pull the trigger in this case, they don’t deserve to be in power.

Walker holds all the cards.

If he gives in now, he’s a weenie and he’ll never recover from his failure.

Oh, good grief! Once again, the RINOS are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory! The Gov. needs to have a ‘come to Jesus’ meeting with those folks. Maybe they also need a visit from some Tea Partiers who are constituents.

Hit abuse on your own comment and ask the mod to remove your post.

It’s a great little method of do-over.

And we’ve all done it.

These people are not moderate. They are stupid beyond belief. Always wanting to ruin something good. What is their payoff?

Snatching DEFEAT from the jaws of victory!!

One thing that the GOP proves time and time again.....they are nothing more than a bunch of blowhard losers full of big words with no action.

The world is crying out for the leadership from the powerhouse known as America. And we deliver to them the Great and Mighty "Wizard of Oz."

Do we have no shame?
