He’s not President nor his he in Congress, he doing something he has the power to do, not just talk about it. Good for him, that is how fundamental change gets done. I wish we had more folks that understood how real fundamental change gets done.

Yeah, it was a 1962 comedy-drama staring James Mason as Humbert Humbert, Sue Lyon as Dolores Haze (Lolita), and Shelley Winters as Charlotte Haze, with Peter Sellers as Clare Quilty.

I was dating future husband but they did not play it on the post where he was stationed. At least not that I remember

Really because everyone with a 3.0 and above, obviously know best.

“he doing something he has the power to do,”

Yeh something stupid and meaningless.

[conservativejoy]

Well it does show a little bit about a persons efforts, perserverance and intellect. Most employers look at such things and when someone is applying for the top position in the country, it ought to be factored in.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Why are you pushing a non issue? Nobody outside of the 30 or so people on this thread give a rats bazoo about tenure in Wisconsin. Its pathetic.

[Osage Orange]

Well...there you go again.

[Georgia Girl 2]

If Walker wants to be President he better find better causes to go after than a few tenured professors in Wi. Its ridiculous and frankly embarrassing. You don’t think the MSM will ridicule him for this. If I thought it up they will be even worse.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Walker needs to stay in WI. The general election with him in it will be a disaster. We will be watching President Clinton get sworn in.

[Osage Orange]

Yeh something stupid and meaningless.

Apparently NOT to many of us...Conservatives. And I'd expect many American Citizens also...........

[conservativejoy]

He loves grandstanding and no issue is too ridiculous if he gets some attention.

[Osage Orange]

Why are you pushing a non issue? Nobody outside of the 30 or so people on this thread give a rats bazoo about tenure in Wisconsin. Its pathetic.

Then WHY are you so worked up about it????

Why don't you just go on your way...if this is a non-issue?

You have an agenda...it's obvious to those that notice.

BTW....I think tenure in this country is a BIG issue...and needs addressed.

Do you not think...progressive liberal socialist marxist democrats control our state colleges?

Answer me that.

[WHBates]

Sure I'm sure lots of folks were impressed by Obama’s grades, well he is brilliant right? I'm sure the current administration is just chock full of PHD’s. Give me a break. Past 30, for most jobs, it probably means nothing past entry level. For President we should be electing someone that has truly transcended a graduating GPA. The GPA should be a foot note for such a person past.

Yeh the Walkerbots are losing their minds over the stats on tenured professors that are freely available online. This moron is trying to make a big deal over 996 tenured professors out of 3470 fulltime teaching faculty. Total fulltime faculty is over 13,000 in WI. This is hugh and series. LOL!

Yeh I want to vote for Walker because he is crucifying the college professors. Oh yeh. LOL! What a marone!

This is the guy we are going to send up agains’t Hillary? Epic fail alert.

[Georgia Girl 2]

The Walkerbots seem to be so worked up about a non issue I just can’t resist. If this is it Walker is done. :-)

[Osage Orange]

Noticed you didn’t answer my other question..........

[Georgia Girl 2]

OK one last time before I totally lose interest. Less than 30% of the Wisconsin College faculty have tenure. Tenure is now and always has been very hard to get. I am a former college professor. Very few ever get it. Its a small potatoes issue. Why is a guy who wants to be president of the United States bothering with this when we have so many really bad problems in our country?

I’ll go farther. Why won’t Walker announce his candidacy if he is supposed to be the front runner? What is he scared of?

[Osage Orange]

1/3 of profs have tenure.

Those 1/3 are likely lying liberal socialist marxist progessive democrats that are supposedly "teaching" our future.

You think that's okay? You and C.J. thinks that's just fine? At least Walker is trying to do something about it.

You and C.J. have your mission...and it's obvious. But you aren't supporting Conservative's here...you are not.

[Osage Orange]

I am a former college professor.

Ah...the truth comes out.

I see where you are at.........

[conservativejoy]

Well lets get into record. Right now Wisconsin is 50th in new business start ups, 40th in job creation, and the WEDC that Walker created and chaired lost 2 jobs for every one job created. Those jobs were shipped overseas by companies whose owners received milllions from WEDC. It is not yet know whether the current investigation will prove “Pay to Play” went on, but the whole mess was a huge waste of taxpayers money. The Wisconsin budget deficit is not looking good either.
