Jesse Jackson and "widely respected." Yeah...sure. Don't stretch it much at all do we?

In what may be the result of one of the great political miscalculations of our time, Scott Walker’s popularity in his home state is fast going down the tubes.

A Rasmussen poll out today reveals that almost 60% of likely Wisconsin voters now disapprove of their aggressive governor’s performance, with 48% strongly disapproving.

Cass,
Do you have to attack someone's character to make a point, or do you just enjoy putting others down, and base your insults on assumptions?

I grew up in Janesville, and went to public schools. Like most children, much of my education came from school, and a good portion also came from home, as well as life experiences. Then, at the age of eighteen, I graduated early from high school and shipped off to Marine Corps boot camp (clearly non-union). Then combat training. Then Marine Corps engineering school. Then several training programs where I was stationed in Japan. Eventually I attended a Californian college. Next I transferred to University of Wisconsin Rock County. I would say there has been a lot of variety in my education. I am a liberal on my own merits, not someone else's. Disagree with my opinions if you want, but if you are assuming I'm just a sheep following the unions you are wrong.

30thurty,
Thank you for remaining objective. I don't think Jesse Jackson projects the most positive image, but you don't usually choose your supporters.

I just do not see it that way at all.

Cass...Just read your last post again and caught on that it was a reporter that made that headline not JJ. Please understand that again someone else made more out of it than the person giving the speech. Again, was written that way to entice an emotion and nothing more.

Cass...I still stay you are jumpimg a bit far on this one. When JJ plays the race card he does not butter it up.

thekai...I must agree with you about his comments being racist. What he says in general does not hold much water with me, though because he is a racist himself I can understand how people could get confused.

Cass, Jesse Jackson, what can you say? He just can't help himself. I can't believe anybody takes him seriously anymore. He's a race card playing shakedown artist that everybody can see right through.

A guy was on the Dan Conry show today making his case supporting the unions. It was quite telling as to how un-informed people can be and still open their mouth to show it. He said that by not taking the union money out of members checks that members would not pay it themselves. If the go team go attitude is there before, what changes by having to write your own check. Again, very telling.

Cass,
I have seen that post of your a few times now. I have analyzed it over and over. I can't seem to find where he is playing the race card. He is definitely talking about rights (whether you agree with his definition of rights or not, his speech is relative to his definition, not yours), but I see no connection being made between the current issue and race. This would be an even bigger stretch than saying Obama's comment about riding in the back seat was racist.

Would not have Jesse Jackson, by myside.
1985, Tunica, Miss, The "Sugar Ditch",, Jesse,
and his Men, collected $3,700.00, to help the
People? Jesse, and his Men, and the Money
disappeared?
So Dem., Take a look around you, to see who's
standing by yourside.

I wonder how long it will take Jackson to find a way to play the race card. Wait for it....

Lena Taylor? You mean screamin Lena Taylor? The same Lena Taylor that Chicago radio show hosts called "an embarrassment to public service?" So let me get this straight. The Wisconsin capitol has now moved to the south side of Chicago? You have to be kidding me! If I were a democrat, I'd be embarrassed to identify with such losers. Out of her entire district is Lena Taylor the only warm body with a pulse? Seriously, some rodentia could do her job better.

Desperate measures (goofball of a governor) require desperate measures. For the sanity of the future of this state, and country, maybe Jackson is a good person to talk with. He is not afraid to face the goofball walker. After all, what does he have to lose? He has not stakes in Wisconsin, right?

Do people actually listen to what Jesse Jackson says now days?

Desperation? Yes, get the heck out of our State, JJackson.

It is a sad day when a Governor expresses such ignorant disregard for the safety and well-being of his own people, and refuses to listen to his own people even while they speak so loudly. Walker was elected to governor, not dictator. It is clear that the last thing Walker wants to do, in any situation is compromise. Well, gov, this is a democracy, and you are duty bound to listen to ALL of your people. That means you have to be willing to accept compromise. Get over yourself. Compromising does not mean the end of the world.

Walker has become the poster child of the tea party movement, and that is sad.

Just be glad it's not Al Sharpton!!

Yep, just lost any credibility with a person that was on the border of what side was right or wrong. should have stayed away from that guy.

Its a sad day when Wiscosin are politicians are meeting in the most currupt city in the US with the deadbeat Jesse Jackson

Rev. Jackson, enough said.

Nothing is going to change the fact that the time for amendments to this bill is long gone. It is ready to be voted on.

Each day that continues with protesting and added expense, is clearly the fault of the MIA 14.

Good point cass. It is time for the runaway Demo's to get back to work. I would like to know how they are paying their hotel bills and food. If they are getting money from the unions isn't that a conflict of interest?
