Brought property taxes down? For who? My WI property taxes went up, how about yours? Wisconsin was also last in the nation in job creation. 50th out of 50. How's that? Not that I think the dufus running against him is any better.

Yah, hey dehr John (as said in my best Northwoods accent)! Not sure you have heard, but, there have been something like 50 shootings and 10 deaths here in Chicago alone in the past week or so. I think I will take my chances on a few drunk's in the northwoods vs. 25 miles from my own front door.
By the way, Walker took Wisconsin from a budget deficeit to a budget surplus, and has created appx 23,000 jobs since he took office, and brought property taxes down. He has Wisconsin going in the right direction....in my opinion. We need a guy like him that has the testicular fortitude to be President. The guy in the office right now could take a few lessons. Bravo Mr. Walker!!

Yea, this Walker guy is doing one bang up job. Wisconsin has lost more jobs than any other state since he took office.
It doesn't really matter to me though. Wisconsin is just a backwards bastion of hilljacks. No wonder the Grand Drag-on of the KKK lives in the Wisconsin north woods.( really, there is still a KKK, all 12 of them) It does make a good playground for me, but as far as their politics it is a comedy. Everyone up here has a gun in their pocket too. I had pizza out a couple of weeks ago and struck up a conversation with a drunk guy (but very friendly) at the bar. He told me to come outside because he wanted to show me something. He reached into his car and pulled out a .380 and handed it to me. As I was handling it a guy comes out of the bar and says "wait a minute" and runs to his car. He comes back with a Glock 9mm. In a short time another drunk guy from the bar joins the group and whips out his AMT .45 he has been carrying in the bar. Seems they are all afraid of something up here, maybe zee Germans? Passing guns among drunks who may be unfamiliar with the make and model is really silly. http://www.mndaily.com/blogs/newsstand/2012/04/25/wisconsin-loses-more-jobs-any-other-state-past-year |

Be sure and get the vote out up there, the other side will, and probably more than once.

I sure hope that's how it will turn out. Driving up north and back for the Memorial weekend, about half of the drive is through smaller towns. The keep Walker signs were "wall to wall" in them. |

Exactly right! He wanted to spare himself the embarrassment when Wisconsin votes Walker back in. |

You think it's hard Dave? When you here in Illinois you don't have enough hands even if he's not in town

Not sure if any of you have been following the crazy Wisconsin politics over the past 1 1/2 years. They are trying to recall the current Republican governor due to his efforts to reform government spending and public sector unions.
The big election is coming up this next Tuesday, June 5th. It will be interesting to see if the voters want to stay on the path of reforms or go back to the way things were. We shall see next Tuesday! It's funny, Obama flew right over Wisconsin yesterday on a trip to Minneapolis, and Chicago. He didn't even stop in Wisconsin to rally the troops trying to recall the governor. Makes one wonder why?? |
