Nope. The "same dude" will not be the governor after the current governor is recalled. What happens after this recall, is that we will have a new governor. That is why we are spending all this money and working so hard to even HAVE a recall election. In fact, the recall election process will be a cake walk compared to what we Wisconsinites had to do in order for this to happen. Also, after working together so hard, why would we Wisconsinites choose to hold a recall election for the present governor, have this same current governor still be the governor? That's just silly.

BREAKING NEWS: The Emporer & Wisconsin's Governor Have No Clothes

Part One

Michael -
Do you mean like those unkept-promised jobs made by our soon-recalled-governor -
who in Spring 2011 appeared in national media
to give himself credit for both
the sudden state surge of new jobs &
for our state ranking 1st in the nation for creating the most new jobs
all achieved by deceptively including substantially padded new job numbers
with hundreds of thousands of
short-term, part-time, minimum wage,HS-Student, seasonal temp jobs lasting from one to ninety days like

Summer Festivals;Fairs;Historic Recreation Amusement Arts State National Entertainment Facilities Parks Zoos Museums & Centers;Tourism; Weddings Funerals Balls Banquets Parties;Corp Conventions/Employee Parties; Water Sports;Boating;Outdoor Pools;Brewers Stadium;Ice Cream Trucks;Popcorn Vendors;Carnivals;Resorts;Summer Jobs & Lemonade Stands?

LOOLzzzzz !

Part Two
We left off after the following.

{... jobs like

Summer Festivals;Fairs;Historic Recreation Amusement Arts State National Entertainment Facilities Parks Zoos Museums & Centers;Tourism; Weddings Funerals Balls Banquets Parties;Corp Conventions/Employee Parties; Water Sports;Boating;Outdoor Pools;Brewers Stadium;Ice Cream Trucks;Popcorn Vendors;Carnivals;Resorts;Summer Jobs & Lemonade Stands?

LOOLzzzzz ! }

now to continue

Jobs like those listed above are those for which
+none are new
and
+hire every summer & have for decades
and
+are not real jobs
and
+do not provide decent, living wages
and
+do not provide enough to easily purchase good quality food, shelter, clothing &
and
+items found in expense categories of published, pre-fabbed, family budget forms
and
+I wonder if we are the only state who included those kind of job in our numbers.

After being recalled, perhaps he'll move to another state--like the great State of Mind he & Wisconsinites once enjoyed before he became governor. I hope he soon gets the health care he needs to feel better by finding any kind of state but the state he's in now. Maybe he's has so much stress that his personality is changing right before our eyes -- for over a year now, he's even begun to cause much harm to self & others. Hopefully he can heal from this ordeal after his recall. I will continue to pray for him & his family.

Along with..... 'Wisconsin: Always voting;Always' , my other favorites:
Al Capone: “Vote Early, Vote Often” ,or who also said, “You can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.”
Joseph Stalin: “The people who cast the votes don’t decide an election, the people who count the votes do.”

L.C.Perri, "tantrum" is a great catch phrase but has little to do with stopping the ALEC agenda in our state. If you watch the news mega-companies like Coke, Pepsi, McDonald's, Kraft, and Intuit have withdrawn their support for this group, which ghost-writes bad legislation (like Stand Your Ground) for puppet legislators. Scott Walker (R-ALEC) is a puppet governor of ALEC/Koch.

The Fab 14 left the state to draw attention to egregious legislation being pushed through without proper public review. They continued to telecommute, meet with constituents, etc., throughout their time out of state (technology makes this easily possible).

As a retired public servant who has given concessions, wouldn't you have taken issue with union stripping hidden in a "budget repair bill?" Public employees had already had furloughs under Jim Doyle. It's unfair to accuse public employees of being overpayed and underworked as some have said in order to turn public opinion against them.

Hopefully Wisconsin will vote to rid our state of ALEC/Koch and the Tea/GOP/Koch brothers. Time to focus on what we can do, not what we can diminish.

^ Examples of tantrums above

I didn't see any whining Thurston. You may want to reread that.

Bren appears to have an unhealthy obsession with ALEC and Scott Walker.

Perhaps he has a make work job with the state and feels threatened by Walker's budget reforms—nobody has told AFSME workers enough is enough in a very long time. Perhaps he's a paid shill, that would explain the sheer quantity and timing (all day every day) of his posts and mitigate my trepidation about his peculiar focus on ALEC.

Historically, unions have been the biggest rent seeking special interests at the public trough. Left wing PAC's like George Soros Fund Management have been influencing the democratic process for years as have right wing groups.

Spending by states on all manner of social programs was at all-time highs before a recession and the inept response to it decimated state budgets. A decrease in spending is now the single most logical response regardless of political affiliation yet it is the one thing Bren steadfastly refuses to contemplate.

Bren = SHE!

Adam, my concerns with ALEC are now shared by a number of major corporations that have withdrawn their financial support from this special interest group. The Stand Your Ground law in Florida may provide an egregious but legal defense for the death of Trayvon Martin. I believe ignoring the actions of this group is more unhealthy for our state and country.

Concerning the state budget can start with stopping the ALEC corporate tax cuts and returning the new crony appointments back to the civil service. If 200,000 people hadn't lost 9% of income in 2011 perhaps the $143,000,000 projected cash shortfall would be smaller. I believe there is a way to take a scalpel to the state budget and hone it down in a measured, balanced way--the idea being to lessen the pain as much as possible, not "drop the bomb" as our ALEC governor describes it. By the way, as I have shared before, I am not a public/state employee. The Open Society Foundations does fund studies and organizations that provide political data (on both parties).

enicar, where on earth did you get that idea?

"Believe me it hurts when your on a fixed income, look at other private unions that had to give up consessions like Harley , Mercury , & Kolher so that they would have jobs at least."

So what's your point? That is it inevitable that all unions should cave into concessions so people like Keith Waddel at H-D can make whopping compensation.

Yeah, that's a formula for a successful economy.

Terry - Spoken like a true fake Democrat. Willing to put yourself in one of those Democratic primaries with those other Republican fools doing so? Oh yeah, it may be voter fraud and a felony. Terry for Fool!

@Steve - I like the trademark symbol! I'll check that comment thing - I thought it was disabled. Thanks for letting me know.

Pending approval is better than pending removal... just ask Scott Walker!

*Bren the moderate!

I guess I walked right into that asterisk, greg! Good one!

P.S. I'm not moderate on the issues of the Walker recall or fiscal frivolity!

Insist all you want. You are wrong. Walker will have an overwhelming amount of money, from people who care less about your future. We're going to run against that money and make an issue of it.

Of course we'll hear about the Soros nonsense. But think about this. There would be no George Soros if there was no Koch brothers.
