Wisconsin politics

So I heard today that Walker who feels like public employees are over compensated just hired one of his biggest financial backer’s son to work for the state. He has no college degree and 2 DUIs starting salary 81K

Wow, This governor has some big kahuna's. Hire a political lobbyist backers kid with no degree for $65K and then the kid immediately gets a $16K raise to $81,000+. This guy should run for office in Illinois as he would fit right in. Most Illinois governors do time.

now you guys are upset about government wages. I think walker just masterfully illustrated the problems in wisconsin.

I am glad you guys realize that some yahoo who could not get a job in the private sector does not deserve to make 81 grand plus retirement in the government union. Suddenly you are making walkers argument for him. I thought alcholism was supposed to be a disease, and thus a non-fireable offense, or at the least an alternative lifestyle choice, and we should support the diversity. So why is it brought up in this case as a support that this guy should not get the job. Seems like hate and intolence to me.

Well, it looks like the libs have stolen another election in Wisconsin. Prosser (conservative) lost by a few hundred votes to the Dem. Lots of storys on the radio today about vote fraud. There will be a recount for sure. Maybe he can still pull it out. Lets hope so.

It makes me sick to my stomach to see that kind of dirty politics go on there. If it wasn't for a very high turnout in Dane County which is where Madison (The Belly of the Beast of Liberalism)is, Prosser would have won. He carried every one of the other 71 counties in Wisconsin.

Remember the last election that the Dems stole? It was up in Minnesota two years ago when Al Franken won by a few hundred votes the electioneers "found some uncounted votes" during a recount. Now we have Stuart Smalley in the Senate as a result. What a joke!



How do you Minnesota boys like good old Stuart up there? Is he really smart enough? Doggone it, I just don't like him!!

Ah, the old hanging chads syndrome. Didn't they do a recount and he won fair and square?

loosing a job you just got could lead you to drink!

You are correct. A Brookfield town election official (I am taking a wild guess she may be a Democrat) "forgot" to turn in her whole towns vote. She was the person in charge of doing so. Gee, I wonder how she could forget to fulfill such an important responsibility. They caught up with her though when vote tallies didn't add up with the number of voters. Hmmmmm!

Probably saying "how can we "find" 7301 new votes"!!

Seems the people have spoken again, first when they elected Walker and now with the supreme court election. The media said this was a referendom on walkers politics when they thought the dem won by 200 votes, so a 7000 vote win by the republican must be a clear statement by the Wisconsin voters against union employee greed, Right?

Whats up with all you democrats out there, cat got your tongue?
