May I also submit my hopes that this is Scott Walker's last year as governor!

Congrats on being the worst Governor of the Century. Wausau Paper mill EX-employees could use some help. Their Power company has had to cut jobs also because of 2- papermill shut downs. Their jobs went to New Hampshire.

I just puked ! What lies .

Gov of the year? Try Liar of the year! Loved the TV ad, The expression on his sons face said it all "Dad you are such a f***ing liar"

Good friend mau, President Obama's initiatives are creating jobs-and the blocked jobs bill has slowed that growth.That's the fault of Republicans. And remember that George W. Bush, by 9/11/2001, had already taken more vacation time than any other U.S. President in history. Facts are our friends!

My dearest friend Bren, then why are you all beating up on Walker. I would think that the POTUS initiatives would have an impact on the entire country and wouldn't be overshadowed by a single governor. We have a democrat POTUS and a democrat Senate yet you continue to blame the republicans. He didn't promise all these jobs with conditions. He said he would do a better job than Bush but all he and his fellow democrats continue to do is make excuses and blame Bush and the Republicans. Much as I want to slap myself for saying it, even Clinton handled his opposition better than this POTUS.

Mau, Scott Walker is the poster boy for what is wrong in this country--a seditious attempt led by the Koch brothers and their ilk to turn the U.S. into a plutocracy. This sedition is taking place particularly and simultaneously at the state and national levels. Ordinary Americans cannot outspend these privateers, but we can outvote them (except in parts of Michigan where the Koch brothers' governor has replaced democracy with "emergency managers"/overseers. Right now, more than 1/3 of African Americans in MI have lost their right to elected representation).

And Obama has done a better job than Bush. His stimulus packages required metrics, Osama bin Laden is dead, and he has done a fantastic job of pointing blame for our country's woes squarely where it belongs--on that faction of Republicans that serve the would-be plutocrats. Clinton had his issues with foolish Republicans like Newt Gingrich, but the majority of GOP'rs were reasonable.

Think about Ronald Reagan and how leftist his policies now seem, compared to today's John Birchy-nuttiness in Congress that masks the true and greedy agenda of Wall Street/plutocrats. The November elections may very well decide whether the U.S. regains its strength and power or diminishes into a Third World country dominated by Wall Street/plutocrats. I know where I stand.

I really wish for once you would quit mindlessly throwing in the Coch brothers. It just makes your comments sound foolish. I can see by your statements that you haven't a clue of who the Birchers are or what they stand for. There are none in the Republican party who have anything in common with the Birchers and very few who hold the conservative values of Ronald Reagan.

Good friend mau, the name is spelled "K-O-C-H." Sorry, but if you are going to accuse me of being mindless, your insults will be far more effective if spelled correctly!

The John Birch Society is a radical anti-communist organization that believed, among other things, that water fluoridation was a Communist plot. But they also oppose what they call "redistribution of wealth," or what some are currently calling fair taxation of the top 1%.

"There are none in the Republican party who have anything in common with the Birchers..." I will have to disagree with you here. The political tenets of the JBS, limited government (except for the morality police!), protecting the assets of the wealthy--are very similar to those professed by the Tea/GOP and for good reason! The Tea/GOP is the child of the Koch brothers and their father Fred was one of the founders of the JBS.

"and very few who hold the conservative values of Ronald Reagan." I will also disagree with you here. The recent payroll tax dispute between the Senate and House GOPrs was illuminating in this respect. There are still Republicans with traditional, pro-America values in this country, and the disconnect between this faction and the pro-plutocracy radicals is becoming clear.

@Bren, you really think I am that ignorant to misspell Koch when it is burned into my brain by all your communist comments. Ronald Reagan and much of the country was anti-communist during the first 40 years of my life. Many of my mothers relatives fled Slovenia after WWII when the communist partisans came in and took their property and killed many of their friends and neighbors. "Redistribution of wealth," is a communist/socialist tenet. And you say "water fluoridation was a Communist plot" is radical but "Walker is killing senior citizens" isn't?

Friend mau, I am very sorry that you lost family members and friends and neighbors died because of the post WWII political upheaval. What happened back then is a terrible example of what happens when extremists gain power. But I am deeply offended that you accuse me of being a Marxist simply because my facts don't agree with your wishes.

"Redistribution of wealth," what you consider a communist/socialist tenet, is actually occurring right now across the globe. Do you find it acceptable for the lower and middle income levels to be pillaged in favor of the wealthy? Right now, a small group of would-be plutocrats are hiding behind "conservatism" to push through more self-serving legislation. Personally, I long for the return to balance in our politics/economics.

"And you say 'water fluoridation was a Communist plot' is radical but 'Walker is killing senior citizens' isn't?"

I would say the first point borders on paranoia, not just radicalism. The second refers to Walker's exacerbation of the already challenging issue of health insurance in America.

Having lived for a time in a country with a national health care plan, I find nothing admirable about our health insurance quagmire. Being unemployed shouldn't also be a threat to one's health. Friends who work in healthcare tell me that people are cancelling necessary procedures because of cost. That's not right.

@Bren, The US socialist leaning liberal's hero Chavez must be a member of the John Birch Society.

Nice lie sparky.

Once Obama is removed, jobs will necessarily skyrocket across the USA and especially here in Wisconsin, since Gov. Walker improved the business climate. Let's remember, the fascination the left has with the Koch Bros. comes right out of Obama's mentors book, "Rules for radicals" by Saul Alinsky.

That's right Keith...Don made you read Alinsky's book. That's adorable.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, Wisconsin lost 14,600 (seasonally adjusted) jobs in November 2011 and 2,700 jobs in October.

Walker is the poster boy for the CSA, Corporate States of America. The damage he has done to the state will take years to repair.

Nate did you say that you were going to frost the Governor's nuts tomorrow ?

And they will taste like cr#%

Have you tasted Walkers nuts before ?

A couple were watching TV and one says"Why does Walker have such an uneven balding pattern", Answer, Thats what happens when you try to polish a turd!

It always takes my comment to spark some small bit a creativity in Bucky.

Thank You Nate ... lol. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

Best Nuts ever. Mom made them for Christmas Walker is now even more of a Hero.

I wouldn't touch Walker's nuts with a ten foot pole. I'm quite sure they are just as rotten and full of caustic bile as the rest of him.

Linda I imagine you haven't touched anyone's in a long long time. Which is a good thing because you should not procreate- ever.

Yes, Let him do his Job. He can start by hehiring 5 teachers let go at my kids grade school. Then he can restore the Rescue Squad that was shut down at the fire department. Two jobs per shift, that 6 more jobs gone. I can't wait to see improvements for the working people and not just for the Millionaires

They already are a failure. It started last November and continued with the Supreme court race, last recalls and now this.

They are the dodo birds of the human race. Their policies and mindset are leading everyone to economic extinction. Even with clear warning they continue to do more of the same.

The silent majority knew we had to change and found Walker. Let's hope the rest of the country can do the same in 2012.

Walker may be beat, he might not. Let the recall happen and get it over with. Wisconsin will then be stuck with whoever until the next election and maybe some of this bickering will die down and we can start getting along better instead of being so divided. Some say a recall is the wrong thing, but remember that Walker first got elected to Milwaukee County Exec in a recall election. That is what happens when the public trust is violated. 39% of Union people voted for Walker. After he atttacked collective bargaining they know they have been betrayed. Spoken by a "Former Republican"
