Yet? We've found out they were pulling dirty tactics before the polls closed.

But it isn't voter suppression if the right-wing does it. That's just them making sure voter fraud does not happen by minimizing the number of possibly-illegal votes.

Well Gov Walker might of won yesterday but here is some slight GOOD news for Wisconsin -

Republican Gov. Scott Walker won his recall election, but he may have a tougher time getting things through the Wisconsin Legislature after Democrats appear to have successfully recalled a Republican state senator, which would flip the balance of power in the state.

With all precincts reporting, Democrat John Lehman led incumbent Sen. Van Wanggaard, a Republican, 51 percent to 49 percent.

So even though walker won it looks like he will at least have a tougher time getting the senate to side with him.

On a much clearer review, what kefk said I agree with, I mean if someone doesn't want to be part of a union they can always not take the job or find a nonunion job. The thing that bothers me the most is this whole Union members=lazy,and overpaid/unions lead to mediocrity meme. God forbid someone wants a decent pay. Sorry, if I came off as somewhat of a teabagger earlier.

Still, it would be a nice slap in the face to the GOP. I'm putting my partisan hat on for the moment, if you'll bear with me.

I think TYT, perhaps more so the people in their footage, summed it up pretty nicely.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

He did, but not by a 7:1 ratio.

This morning, on NPR, I heard a quote from some lady wondering why folks were still in Madison protesting. After all, “they lost twice.”

I just don’t think this lady has been paying attention to the way the Walker administration is run. This man has made it abundantly clear that he thinks he only represents the folks that donated to his campaign. Nothing in the recall election indicates that he has come to think otherwise. As long as he continues in this destructive mindset, there must be folks ready to remind him that he in fact represents all of Wisconsin.

I don’t particularly expect that lesson to ever sink into Walker’s brain. But we must do what we must do.

It's not legitimate for employees to negotiate with their employers. They simply have to accept the first offer.

Remember, working hard to make your way up the ranks at work is earning your way to comfort. Working hard to organize and confront your employer on workplace issues is whining.
