It's not Cairo, Egypt that's come to Madison.

It's Athens, Greece!

The Red Menace is here, it's real, it's in your face and it wears the union label.

"Wisconsin’s teachers and state workers should not be badgered by a governor who refuses to sit down and work out a fair compromise.

What about the working class, non-government taxpayers, Durban?

The working class, non-public taxpayers simply have no rights and no voice. Apparently, we exist only to support the lives of better paid and better benefitted public workers. It is time that the private sector revolts...

Hey Durbin, my sister-in-law up near Chicago is an executive with a company that went bankrupt yesterday (or at least, I heard about it yesterday). They've laid off almost everyone, and she'll be losing her job along with the remaining skeleton staff once the liquidation is complete.

So maybe you should concentrate on improving business conditions in your own state, instead of hiking our income and corporate taxes through the roof. In the meantime those 100+ works are going to be drawing unemployment rather than paying income taxes, making the state fiscal problem worse. Could Illinois Democrats get any more clueless?

Make Wisconsin a “right to work” state. The bill would not be an appropriation and would not require a 3/5 quorum.

RALLY IN SUPPORT OF GOVERNOR WALKER:

Time Saturday, February 19 · 12:00pm - 3:00pm


Location Wisconsin State Capitol, East Side of the Building


Created By Dave Westlake, Austin James, Matt Batzel, Ashley Schultz


More Info NOW Featuring Andrew Breitbart of Breitbart.com, Jim Hoff of Gateway Pundit, Ned Ryun - President of American Majority, Vicki McKenna, and Herman Cain. More Speakers TBA.

As the week has progressed, Wisconsin and the Nation have watched schools across Wisconsin close due to teachers participating in a “sick out”, the unions busing people in from other states to inflate their rally numbers in Madison and legislators fleeing the state to avoid the vote on the budget repair bill.

It’s time the voices of the Wisconsin people are heard.

We’ve had thousands of people show up for tea party events to rally to take our state back - but our work isn’t done. Let’s have our voices heard once again and show our state legislators that we support this bill. We need concerned Wisconsin citizens to show up at noon on Saturday, February 19th to voice our support for Gov. Walker and our conservative legislators! Tell your friends—let’s set a turn out record!

I am wondering if we should. They are making fools of themselves now. Give them more rope.

Durbin has enough problems in his own state of Illinois.

He can STFU, IMO.
