Typical liberal cheaters. If their cause is so just, then they shouldn't have to cheat. Yet they continue to cheat election after election. You can easily subtract 10% from the democrat side and add 10% to the Republican side in every single election to offset the liberal cheaters.They may get their signatures, but Walker will win this recall by a landslide. My side side is ready to fight and we are sick of all this recall crap.

I am definitely for Walker's recall and would like to see it happen following strict adherence to the law/constitution. I have witnessed that strict adherence after the petition reviewers asked me to bring my petition back to the signer that dated it incorrectly. I think it should be the GAB's responsibility to do the final count, but the responsibility of the challengers and the challenged party to carefully review the signatures.

You are kidding yourself if you think the Republicans wouldn't be checking each signature even if it was the responsibility of the GAB. The GAB never said it WILL NOT toss-out extra signatures. They stated they won't automatically do it meaning if the Republicans find errors, they can submit them to the GAB and the GAB will review them and most likely toss them at that point. But again, the responsibility falls on the challenged party.

And lets not forget the reason for this lawsuit. Just like entering false candidates, it is a well-conceived ploy by the Republicans to delay the recall election to time it better with the presidential election. That is why it was done in Waukesha county. They know they'll win there and they are hoping it will go all the way to the Supreme Court (i.e.: causing more of a delay). Justice all too often peeks out from behind that blindfold.

I find it absurd that you liberals expect Mickey Mouse and Adolf Hitler to count as signatures on recall petitions.

Obama ran saying "he's not Bush", no solutions were ever part of his campaign. He promised to make things "better", "more jobs" etc. But could never present any details.He is a total flop.
Flash forward to Wisconsin. The recallers present no solutions, they are angry, they just don't like Walker. Well "don't like" someone all you want, but until you can put-up some ideas, SHUT-UP.
The state is on it's way towards recovery, Walkers system is working. If you have better ideas, let's hear them...Waiting...Waiting...Waiting, That's what I thought.

He's only against wasting money trying to educate useless people who can't accept responsibilty- kinda like the 99% dirtballs.
Oh sorry kbb, are you one of those highly educated imbeciles?

@Joe Blow,
Do you really think that someone who is against this recall nonsense is really going to sign anything? Why would they take the risk of a false name getting through the GAB and the Walker camp?

@kbb,
Governor Walker is not against higher education. He does however see that the costs have skyrocketed unreasonably high. We need to be smarter in the manner we spend money, and not on stupid or overpriced things.

There are few things on this earth more hypocritical than Walker and his cronies whining about unfairness and unethical behavior. They pretty much wrote the book on that stuff. GAB used Hitler and Mickey Mouse as examples....not actual signatures. Being able to read would have told you that.

Additionally, with the millions of dollars Walker has raised, largely from out-of-state corporate interests, surely he can afford to hire some help to go through signatures. That opportunity is part of the system This suit is both a delay tactic and an attempt to divert attention to a scapegoat, in this case, the GAB. In a way, I like the fact that Walker and his cronies continue to insist that it's factions from outside of Wisconsin that are pushing for his recall. By remaining so oblivious, it will be even more surprising when they do get around to checking out thousands upon thousands of legitimate signatures form every day, ordinary Wisconsin citizens.

Oops I meant Tom Duffey not Tom Duffes- Freudian slip. :-P

I seem to remember a whole bunch of republicans threatening to write all sorts of various illegitimate names and multiples to try and foil the recall. Now that they are responsible to strike those names, its a big deal? Yep, Walker did use this same process in MKE to take office, but now its not an effective method?

Waukesha County Circuit Court? Looks like the Goppers are judge shopping.

The G.A.B. is doing a great job in accordance with current law. These are honorable retired judges. They deserve the same respect that they got in their courtrooms.

Fake signatures are signed by the supporters of the candidate being recalled in an attempt sabotage the recall efforts. It is similar to Sen. Scott Fitzgerald's running fake Democrats in last summer's senate recall elections.

@Say What,
There is a HUUUUGE difference between the Tom Amendt recall and this one. Milwaukee still calls it "The Milwaukee County Pension Scandal". That was a case where the politicians paid themselves and their cronies millions of dollars in pension benefits at the expense of the taxpayers.

This recall is all about Governor Walker taking away the power from union bosses that they have abuse for so long. Our schools no longer have to pay for overpriced health insurance. We can actually get rid of bad employees. We can actually get an honest days work out of them as well.

And, let's not forget that the Milwaukee Pension Scandal recalls were driven by Citizen's for Responsible Government, not the Democratic party.

@robert heule
Governor Walker and the Republican's know they can not find an honest judge in Dane County, so they took it to someone that would actually listen to them.

@robert heule
And, if the GAB is so honest, why did they schedule the recalls for the Democratic Senators after the Republican ones?

Excuse me for jumping in and laughing; rotflol, as the kids say. this is a pathetic joke.
It really is not asking any one to be an egg-head: but maybe people should look at history. Shakespeare's Coriolanus will be in town again. Read it. Go see it. Watch us on parade being made fools of by the Patricians who look down on those who have less than them, the Plebians. Just Substitute Plutocrats; Oligarchy, and the Koch brothers. They want a tiered society wherein they can do as they damn please: and the funny is so many people are lining up, lemming like, waiting to be off the cliff. I guess all the pro-Walker people must be among the wealthiest in the state: mostly still too afraid to say who they really are, but willing enough to shout down those who want a new social and civil order. The process has become near fascistic. We need change.

Nick speak English. You might be able to fool the punks at UWM but not the well educated.

I thought the republicans were against legislation by the courts?

Walker is a puppet of the 1%

A happy New Year indeed--Wanggaard is going DOWN!

@millbot Emily Mills
#wirecall RT @dane101 Total Recall: Enough signatures for Wanggaard recall, other Senate recalls close or on track http://t.co/4tDyweGS

Made me chuckle.

@Spudlovr Spud Lovr
GOP unable to get enough volunteers to verify recall, seeks govt assistance to make up for their own failing #wiunion #recallwalker

Who the hell cares if the GAB is required to count every signature. Hiring extra help to count will create some jobs. This will keep the process honest and give the Goppers something new to bitch about after the nearly 3/4 million are counted and certified. Furthermore, it will delay the process until after the April Presidential primary.

@Plowboy, well put. New Waukesha Circuit Judge Mark Gundrum boasts that he is a Judicial Activist. He is a former Republican State Representative 84th Dist.(part of Mary Lazich's Senate District)

“The case was political theater. Scott Walker wanted the agency to do the work at taxpayer expense that campaigns have always done. He also wanted to smear the referee before the game began. And Judge Davis obliged. The reality is this doesn’t change the fact that despite Walker’s attempt to escape the judgment of voters is a dead letter. There will be an election no matter how many lawsuits the Walker litigation machine dreams up.”

At least we still may say that we have firmly the laughter on our side. As reported by WisPolitics, the Governor’s lawyers produced as evidence of fraud a recall petition with a signature from “Bugs Bunny”– but the petition was actually from the GOP-led recall effort last year against Democratic State Senator Jim Holperin.

An excellent summary of the case is at Talking Points Memo.

This time out I'm not so sure Walker will win . . . and his desperate claim that the recall process is unconstitutional proved he's scared!
