60 duplicate signature doesn't mean very much. Everyone rushed out to sign in November. January signatures and probably December signatures will be verified in great length as duplicates.

Would it be too much to ask for you mouse to post something non-adolescent?

Feduptaxpayer...... Maybe people didn't stop due to a Republican smell in the immediate area. Beep! Beep!
You seem to drive by a lot..... that's creepy!

Midnight_Ride- Great link, Thanks!

Suggest removal

6 more signatures turned in from our house. RECALL WALKER!!!!"

You have 6 people of age to vote living in your house? Hmm...

I saw 2 signature collectors standing out and freezing in the cold last nite. I laughed as I went by. They were jumping up and down trying to get warm and trying to stop traffic and NO one was stopping by to sign. If they are doing so well, why are they still attempting to collect???

Back to Back Gazette articles. Recall on track but want to block the verification process. Something smells fishy in recallville.
Duplicates and fake name/address abound no doubt. Keeps them "on track" but will be exposed in the verification process.

orange - you along with many other of your posting comrads are pathetic. RETAIN Walker.
.
Bye bye union thugs. Get out of our state.

orange-- Your free money is over, time to work for what you have. Fedup is on track and we are just tired of people like you. Go WALKER!!!

Feduptaxpayer...you need to get a job, not that anyone would want you.

Very proud to have walker & his goons on the way out of office

Walker was upfront - he campaigned on it. And you all know it.

It would be very nice to see those elected to office cut all their travel expence Etc.
That would save the tax payor alot of money
I have not seen it yet have any of you ?

WALKER FOR PRESIDENT!!

"I just wonder how the vote would of went if Scooter would of been upfront and said , The first thing im gonna do as the New Governor of the Great State of Wisconsin is REMOVE Collective Bargaining Rights from State Workers ?".....he would have won by a landslide!

Right on Jesse! so then...........all the nay sayers (which this world is full of) could go about raising the tempers of people who never voted in the first place, demanding that government continue status qua, driving us into deeper depression, and life will continue down the same merry path it has been (if your living in a van down by the river that is. Happily.) Or, we can platform on an ideology. not revealing all the details( because jo freekin plant worker doesn't understand anyways) and then force our hand down the throats of the citizens because that's the way it needs to be done. If you're not moving forward you are moving backwards. Today's political climate breeds stagnancy. and stagnant water stinks!

Jesse
Right on

lightkeeper everytime you use that sexist term I will and have made the comment to remove your post and I will contnue to do so until you can add something to the conversation beside slurs

Good Point Uncle Jesse. Note that Walker loves to make the rounds on FoxNews. He's a darling of the ultra-right. Big plans...big plans. It's a bit early for him to be a VP candidate - but if Sarah Palin could be on the big ticket after a year of governating...then so could my boy Scotty.
----We need people in higher office that look after the fiscal well-being of rich people like me.----Just kidding Wisconsin, I'm not done tormenting you folks with Scott just yet.

I just wonder how the vote would of went if Scooter would of been upfront and said , The first thing im gonna do as the New Governor of the Great State of Wisconsin is REMOVE Collective Bargaining Rights from State Workers ?...............................If this would of been in his ads and advertised for weeks as part of his agenda as plans for the State.....He would Not of been elected in the first place ......I'm Not Republican or Democratic , But i sure as hell Don't like sneaky Politicians , So i dont like many politicians . He rolled the dice for his own career advancement (your foolin yourself if you think he did it for you or the state), lets see where this gets him .

Oh, we have big plans for Walker after WI...big plans. It is not that often you get such a loyal lap dog.

I voted for Obama and by the looks of the candidate pool I will again.

I did NOT vote for Walker, I DID sign the recall petition and I will NOT vote Republican.

Paul Ryan lost my vote, and I have voted for him in every congressional election.

Walker will be able to reap his "benefits" after the recall and unemployment. What exactly is he qualified for in the private sector? Better yet, which public sector will hire him? I'll bet the Koch brothers dump him too!

And the CEO of Spectrum Brands got a compensation package worth $13.7 million while his company lost $75 million in 2011. I guess that's why they needed $4 million of Wisconsin taxpayer money. Nice job scooter!

I know the numbers, and they are not good for scooter.

fed up tb it's funny how the silent majority have to post under multiple usernames.Maybay you could practice a little more of the"SILENT MAJORITY" in your highly intelligent posts :-o

it is very simple people - if it were not for the unions suffering a great loss of power - we would not be going through this. Retain Walker - recall the Public unions.

Even if walker & others keep their jobs they have to be wondering how they ticked off so many people
Both partys are full of themselfs

I guess there is a reason government made it so you could recall an elected offical. I wonder what happens if the vote goes to keep Walker? Do they (the ones that oppose him) have another option available after that? And if they win the recall what is the timeframe that they have to come up with a candidate? No one is going to change anyones mind on here with the rude comments. So when anyone is name calling you won't win any votes by doing so.....

Given the incredibly high levels of interest shown on all sides of the Walker recall and his initiatives, it is difficult to assume voter turnout will be as low as it was for the general election in 2010. It is also difficult to assume the Democrat candidate will have exactly the same voter appeal as Barrett did. However, the spread between Walker and Barrett was 124,638 votes. That only requires a swing of 62,320 people to flip the election. Vote totals could, and probably will, be significantly higher than in the 2010 gubernatorial race given the participation of new voters and voters who did not vote in 2010's gubernatorial race. The effect of the new photo voter ID law is also an unknown. A much closer race than it sounds by saying the Democrat needs to 2 to 3 times as many votes as petition signatures. The possibility of beating Walker in a recall is very real.

I have talked to a number of folks out collecting signatures. I have asked each one this question; What are you "guaranteed" to gain by Scott Walker's removal from office? I pose the same question to this group. My fear is the "re-callers" are in the "anybody but Obama" mindset coming from the GOP (which is stupid and not a reason to vote for a GOP candidate), rather than having their own substantial reason for the recall. Keep in mind what's done is done as far as collective bargaining is concerned. Removing Scott Walker does not guarantee things will go back to the way they were before the election.

"Which union thug do you suppose took them?"

I'd say it was Gary the liar primer.

The reason we call Unions goons and thugs is because anymore they predominantly consist of women (teachers and nurses,govt clerks, office cleaners, ). It's much harder to demonize historically underpaid professions that happen to be mostly women, than the Al Capone and Jimmy Hoffa imagery.

Good old Scotty was smart to exclude police and firefighters.

Che -- funny you should mention signs...our Recall Walker sign was taken out of my yard as was one down the street. Hmm. Which union thug do you suppose took them?

poobah- Thanks, I did not know they were available at that site. I actually had to collect numbers from a couple of different sources. I think the point is the recall effort will need to get a lot more than the half million signers to get to the polls to beat Scott Walker in a recall election.

emac said, "Scott Walker received 52% of the popular vote in the last election. There are about 3,400,000 voters in Wisconsin. So he would have received roughly 1,768,000 votes."
-
Why anyone would venture a guess on a past vote is beyond me when the official results are readily available at the GAB website: http://gab.wi.gov/sites/default/files/pe...
-
Walker received 1,128,941 votes. You were off by 639,059 votes.

Those for walker should put up a sign for him
Just like those of us that are not for him do
If some one takes my sign then I report it to the police & put up another sign RECALL walker

splowing- Scott Walker received 52% of the popular vote in the last election. There are about 3,400,000 voters in Wisconsin. So he would have received roughly 1,768,000 votes.

6 more signatures turned in from our house. RECALL WALKER!!!!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but here is the real story.

WI High School Band Performance At Rose Bowl Co-Opted By Liberal Blog

By Collin Roth

As the University of Wisconsin badger football team prepared to play Oregon in the Rose Bowl on January 2, the Pulaski High School band marched in the Tournament of Roses Parade. The band marched towards the grandstand playing the University of Wisconsin fight song “On Wisconsin” but then switched their tune to “Red Wing,” a song first written in 1907 by American composer Kerry Mills. The performance of “Red Wing” begins at the 1:15 mark on the video below:

In what had to have been a thrill for high school students and a proud moment for the school and town of Pulaski was quickly co-opted by by the left-wing blog Daily Kos. In a post entitled “Pulaski WI Marching Band ‘Sticking to the Union’ in Rose Bowl Parade” the author believes the Pulaski band is playing the pro-union anthem “Union Maid,” a song which songwriter Woody Guthrie added lyrics to the tune of “Red Wing.” The blog post reads:

The Pulaski High Marching Band, of Pulaski Wisconsin, made an awesome statement in yesterday’s Rose Bowl Parade.

It was quite an honor for the Red Raiders from this small town (pop. approx. 3000) northwest of Green Bay to be marching in 80-degree weather in Pasadena, while their proud community looked on from windy 18-degree Wisconsin.

The TV coverage started as they marched along playing “On Wisconsin,” looking properly Badger-like in their red uniforms.

…I hope it was the musicians themselves who selected this song, who planned this action. It would be reminiscent of the students from East High in Madison who determinedly marched out of school down East Washington last February to swell the protests at the Capitol.

Media Trackers contacted Dr. Mel Lightner, Superintendent for Pulaski School District on Tuesday afternoon to inquire why a public school band was playing what some perceived to be an overtly political anthem and what some were hoping was a pro-union statement at the Rose Bowl parade?

Dr. Lightner explained, “We refer to that song as the ‘Red Wing’ polka.” Lightner went on to say that the band director had never even heard of the pro-union song “Union Maid” and that “Red Wing” was a tribute to his grandmother who loved the song.

“This is simply hilarious” laughed Dr. Lightner, explaining further that “they [the Daily Kos] are just trying to spin it their way.”

So what perhaps pro-union and anti-Walker folks hoped was an “awesome statement” and show of support to the Walker recall, was in the end a gross misinterpretation.

It just goes to show, even high school band performances in Wisconsin are not immune from those seeking to score political points at any cost.

Note: Kudos to the Pulaski High School band and the entire Pulaski community for representing Wisconsin well at the Rose Bowl. Well done!

Feduptaxpayer...... bIG DREAMER!

the number of Walker supporters will be shown if this goes to recall. They will come out and place their vote to show support.

Why don't they tell us how many people are still for Scott Walker ?

Fedup = no intelligence. Zeussmom - why thank you for the complement. Coming from you well let's just say I will cherish it forever.
.
Poobah - Finally - something we agree upon. Obama wants to be world leader. Now this is where we should all be putting our recall efforts - this guy MUST be a one term wonder or we will all be reading the Daily Worker soon.

Seems pretty consistent with his FISA vote as a senator. I really have to laugh when people call him a liberal.

Shame on the Gazette for missing one of the most important headlines of the last ten years
-- OBAMA SIGNS THE NDAA (the National Defense Authorization Act). And he did this in private, with no fanfare, on New Years Eve so as to draw the least attention as the nation readied to party. One part of the NDAA allows for the INDEFINITE DETENTION of AMERICAN CITIZENS WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF TRIAL. This means you could be rounded up and held forever without ever being tried.
-
I put the call out to my fellow progressives, to all liberals, moderates and conservatives -- anyone who cherishes our Constitutional right to due process -- to write the President, write your Senators and Representative and let them know you will NOT be voting for them if they supported this bill. One more serious erosion of our rights and not a headline...
-
The sinister aspect of Obama's signing of this bill is that it was Obama himself who requested the specific language regarding indefinite detention. He then authored a signing statement (something he has criticized former presidents for doing) declaring his dislike for the provision -- which, of course, he requested be included. I supported Obama. I won't again.

Time waster. Either way, it won't matter. My one percent brethren will be rich, and you won't, and a recall election won't help. I'd like to thank governors like Scott Walker for successfully looking out for us, the important people. After all, we make the world go 'round, and you don't, and that's what is important in life.

I turned in my collection of signatures today! Say good-bye Weasel Walker!

Spark: Arguing with the rodent is like having a fist fight with an armless person, don't waste your time.........

Sounds like your using a past experience johnny, and I bet the armless person knocked you to the ground in the first round!

No you don't Walker fixed that non problem.

I will also vote for Walker again but we will need 2 votes each to overcome the fraud on the other side.

I voted for Walker once and will gladly do it again. Go Walker.

Fedup= no intelligence

He she it is not capable of a debate based on facts

Fed: Do you have any facts to back up your statements? Any documentation proving that unions decrease the standard of living? Because I have a study from one of the most prestigious universities in this country which discusses union effect on both the union employees and the non-union employees. Over the past 30 years the wage disparity has increased as unions have decreased. We have all seen the aftermath of this plan and it is not a good picture. Again any proof to back up your ranting?

I am so sick of the people or Zombies in front of the post office,stores,ect and, it seems they are so very desperate, pushing an issue that will never happen,go on with your lives,adjust and pay your fair share like the rest of us,remember you are no better than anyone.

Mepsi - I strongly disagree - RETAIN WALKER - RECALL THE UNIONS.

Fed: I am simply questioning on your use of a disparaging remark in an attempt to dehumanize the people who disagree with you. It is a juvenile attempt to turn what could be a debate of facts and historical lessons into a personal vendetta of “us” against “them”. Furthermore your excuse of basically “they did it first” truly speaks to your character. Quite frankly this country would be in much better shape if we had more “union thugs” as you like to put it. And that is not an opinion it is proven with historical data that when there were more unions and more people buying made in the USA products then this country was better financially and the middle class was larger. Have a nice day bashing your fellow Americans!

You mean they've managed to buy enough signatures already??

That's right FedupTaxpaer. It is no coincidence that the vast majority of these goons are Women. Get them teachers and nurses. Women are goons. We don't want them women bullying us around. Rich white men and their lackeys should rule, and that is how my Eagle Scout Scotty is doing it. Beautiful.

Mepsi - anti walkers post Walker and his goons or thugs all the time. So what is your problem with my union goons or thugs or whatever?

Milton - and who said that I live in Janesville?? Heck I could be from out of state. Yep that is it, I am head quartered at the Clock Tower so I can be sure to keep plenty of rooms open for after the recall fails.

Spark: Arguing with the rodent is like having a fist fight with an armless person, don't waste your time.

Walker....... " don't know Koch".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBnSv3a6N...
....... Hi David...... I will spill my guts about Wisconsin to you, even though I don't know you!!!!!!!

Fedup; Why is it that people who disagree with you have to be “Union Thugs”. Can’t we simply be called what we are? People who want the middle class to return to this country. “From 1972 to 2006, union membership among U.S. men working full-time in private-sector jobs declined from 33 to less than 10 percent. Inequality in men’s hourly wages earnings increased by 40 percent in this same period.” The quote is from the first two sentences of a study from Harvard University published in 2009. The public sector is modeling after what the private sector has been doing for the past 30 years.

bignik - Who was I bashing? Merely pointing out the obvious and correcting Mouse on false claims. Sorry if I hurt your friends feelings.

My taxes went up almost $200.00 (with assessment going down) in Milton where the teachers are paying their "fair share!!" So how come in Janesville, where you all keep complaining that they are not paying their "fair share," yours went down?? So do they really need to give in when your taxes are going down?? Stop complaining then about the teachers benefits if your taxes are going down, there shouldn't even be an issue!!!

Mouse - Oh, and fyi. If we are bringing animals into this. Mice are preyed upon by everything and are used for lab experiments to help others.
-
Think about it....Very similar to all your posts.

may day - may day - the spell checkers are here - the spell checkers are here.

I heard Walker say the other day that he had been to 57 of our states. No wait - that was said by someone of supperior intelligence in a different office.

Spark-spell right and stop bashing others....

Mouse - You know nothing about me. You don't know me personally, nor do you know the majority of people on here that you attempt to insult and bewilder with your obvious middle school education. Sitting behind a keyboard assuming you know something about everyone, really shows your true intelligence. I have plenty I stand up for and quite honestly, you should grow a pair and try standing up for yourself instead of jumping on the bandwagon with all the other babies that don't get their way. Otherwise, stick to what you know best. You parents basement and romen noodles.

The Patriots are out in force in 2012!

Don't worry about all the job losses under Walker, WI, there will be plenty of tri-cornered hats for all once we stop this recall process and ensure that this state remains governed of the rich by the rich and for the rich. Amen and Beautiful.

Spark..... is it possible you are sitting on the fence again?
Once again, you jump up on the post and blend in with the clouds.
Have some ...... and stand for something solid.
Even chickens have apurpose.

Awesome!!!

Zuessmom - that is the real problem - you and your anti Walker posters:
1. Are Union people supporting the attempt to regain power - or
2. You just don't get it. All the explanations in the world will not change your minds. It seems as if you all want to live in a socialist world.

Feduptaxpayer...... what a great imagination. Reminds me of the imagination you used to back Walker and the Fizzel boys.

Can you Walker supporters tell me how an elected official who uses the term "dropped the bomb" is doing good for the people? Yup, thought so...

Bye bye UNION thugs.

Mouse - Is it possible for you to have a normal discussion? You do realize that all politicians screw people over in some form or fashion, right? Some more than others? They are politicians. If you set aside voting with your emotions all the time, you might be able to grasp the obvious. You might understand that not everyone is going to benefit from the same political views you have and vice versa. I am fine with the fact that someone doesn't agree with me.

Bye bye Scooter !!

Mouses - the magnitude of your obvious intelligence is mind numbing to say the least. And also extremely entaining. I am picturing a chubby little rodent sitting in a basement on a shelf with a tiny baseball cap and an Ipad waiting for intermitant wireless service hacked from a near by neighbor.

spark...... you almost told the truth..... come on, just do it.
Get it out of your system, and admit Walker is no good.

analert - I was not addressing you - my post stated MY GUESS - Duh!

A lot that voted for walker are now those that want him & his GOONS out

analertcitizen..... Fedup just plays in pretend land.
When you give him facts, he throws is tantrums.
Personally, I like it when he throws his cheesey comments.

Mouse - Actually, no he didn't. Doyle screwed me over more. You see, that's the difference. Everyones situation is different. That's why we vote. And I don't vote merely on financial issues. Far from it. There are many other issues I consider.

RECALL WALKER!

spark..... Walker screwed you! You just won't admit it.

@fedup- It amazes me how many times you accuse people of making things up. You've done it to me too. Often when someone points out a particular deficiency in Walker's program or posts support of the recall citing an example of their own, you post that it can't be true. Start looking in the mirror- usually people who accuse others are the true culprits.

The FBI and the Justice Department have put Walkers illegal activities under the microscope, looking like he will be criminally charged eventually, so if they don't get him first, then the good people of Wisconsin will by recalling him!

My taxes went up over $150, value up thousand or two. Thanks Walker. Wait until the cuts happen next year. Yikes.

I voted for Walker and will do so again. RETAIN WALKER.

You are delusional if you think they aren't going to have enough signatures to force the recall. Whether he wins or not we'll see.

Sigma - thanks for the auto correct.
.
Always - my guess is that the ones claiming tax increases are either from districts that were not able to implement cost stablizing or reduction tools, or are just making it up in an attempt to discredit Gov. Walker. My bill was $64.00 less for 2011.

Remember when the gov said "bring it on". I havent heard that lately......what happened

You know what is funny about this i did not vote for Walker in the last election but out of the 507,000 signatures i wonder how many voted for Walker have signed the petition.

I still don't get how people are surprised by his actions. If you did your homework before voting, you wouldn't be shocked.

Mouse - Just to clarify a couple facts.
-
1) Walker is not the one heading up the recall and therefore wasting the taxpayers money.
2) Many who voted for him still support him, therefore he didn't screw the voters. He may have screwed you over because you have a different point of view from others.

He cannot give numbers because they are not there, What a crock.
Walker is doing a great job and this state is in better position than it was when the democrats ran the state. GO WALKER!!!!!!

I dont understand if the majority voted for him, how can a lesser amount overturn him?
-
And fed, its "couldnt care less", not "could". :)

Time will tell, if Walker is good for Wisconsin. My democat friends complained because their taxes went up this year. Well, mine went down. So I guess we will have to wait to see what good he has done, but then some people won't even give it a chance. I gave Doyle a chance......

The unions could care less how much of our tax dollars they waste on this as it is of course a last ditch effort for their survival and an attempted to regain lost power. When this is all said and done, Walker will remain as Governor and the unions will be weak and with little funds. Retain Walker - he is good for Wisconsin.

Over a million voters voted against Walker Nov. 2010. Getting half of those voters shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, a million and a quarter voted for Walker in Nov. 2010. Those voters may not like having their vote overturned for political purposes.

With all the votes Walker got to be elected, he could have done some good! Guess he just screwed the voters with all his false promise.
Maybe he should stop wasting tax payers money.

Actually, they are already in the process of doing something good.

All the effort put into this recall, these people really could have done something good.
