The Scott Walker JOB CHART....
http://news.firedoglake.com/2012/05/14/s...

...and I swear that I saw the construction of the new hospital going on before January, 2011 which means those jobs were committed prior to Walker taking office (in other words a blue bird the fell in his lap). If you have more factual knowledge of this, please post it. Also, the last I saw was that the state lost another 11,000 jobs and that was after the recall election when Walker said the hiring would skyrocket - hence my calling him Rocketman Walker. Thanks!

Governor Rocketman Walker, where are the jobs you promised as in the chart at the above link.

A little lawyerin' is a dangerous thing.

We may as well all sit back and enjoy the show.

Wislady, actually I did read the entire article. ANd policies and contracts are two separate things. For example a policy may say that no employee is allowed to do non-work related work on a agency owned computer, but a contract, that would supersede the policy, allows 30 minutes of union related business to be conducted during work hours.

fordfan,
Actually I have no problem with unions financially backing their candidate at all....Have at it, as it does balance the huge oil companies and others on the opposite side..
My comment was intended to mean that the major unions let your guy down big time...both in funds and support...All the blah blah about the nation wide problems and what a disaster to unions it was going to be if Walker was retained sure got quiet when Barrett became the candidate, and so did their funds...they thru him under the bus so they could save their money for the next Presidential election instead...so much for their support..

"The City of Madison prohibits the use of city e-mail distribution lists for political and commercial purposes. The latest iteration of the policy, set by the mayor’s office in 1999 and found in Administrative Procedure Memorandum No. 3-9, is still in effect according to City Hall. Under the heading “Prohibitions and Restrictions on Use,” and the opening line “The use of computer resources including the Internet and/or e-mail, whether in-house or external, for any of the following purposes is strictly prohibited:” item number six reads:

“For political campaign purposes, including, but not limited to, using e-mail to circulate advertising for political candidates or relating to political campaign issues.”

Obviously....concernwi didn't read the link provided earlier in my comments.

HERE is the link to the City of Madison policy that has been in effect since 1999...

http://www.cityofmadison.com/mayor/apm/3...

This such a non article. The Gazette just likes to throw a fire bomb into the crowd to rile things up and you guys all fell for it! Don't waste your time on this nonsense!

Thanks wislady! I doubt whether anything will come of this in the "City of Lefties".

I love LOVE how the liberals still whine about Walker who has turned this state around dispite Obama's national policies. Lawless administration ignoring the constitution, executive orders or out right ignoring them by not enforcing. Suing private companies for political friends and allowing our military to disregard rules.
That my friends is what the beginnings of a dictator looks like.

Wislady, much like Tom Barrett's wife, Mahlon Mitchell may have violated a policy not a law. Because he isn't a publicly elected official or working for one like those involved in the John Doe case, there isn't a violation of law. I would be interested in seeing the City of Madison's contract said.

yada mouse, do you want some cheese with that?

hd - not sure what you are asking about the unions. I am not privy to union business as I am non-union (was a member many years ago but not for the past few decades). I do know the Republican Tea Party strategy was to dry up union funds so they would have less to spend in the general elections. Fitzgerald was stupid (or arrogant) enough to say that on Fake Fox News (GOP TV). I am assuming that the unions had to budget their money to have any left for the general elections. Not sure if this is what you are asking but I am guessing that you would like to see the unions out of the political support business which would allow the 1% and big business to buy our government for less. We have a major problem in the country when we allow any entity (Tea Party support PACs, etc.) to organize and to buy our government with no organized opposition. We are far down that path already.

Thanks Gary,
I will take the best shot at it I can.....! So far it is working for me...

Good to see he's as relaxed as I'm sure most fascist dictators are.

Bob, I just want you to be happy.

fordfan,
Just because I supported Walker does not mean that I am a Republican..I vote MY choice every time, and in every election....and to further clarify, yes, I did vote for Obama...
This Tea Party and Romney have no more interest in the common person like you and me than the Obama administration does now...so it is a toss up in my mind at the moment on how to vote...I personally like the way Ron Paul thinks... :-)
Also while I may disagree with you and others here on principle, I try not to make it personal..
It will be an interesting situation..
Also curious what your answer is to my question on the big unions selling you out ??

kay - take a look at yada's post for the Walker Jobs chart and maybe you will understand why I ask in the same manner the Tea Party Republican's ask the President of the United States (yes you rightys lost the election but still lie and complain) where the jobs are:

Mr Rocketman Governor, where are the jobs?

yadamousewiggle,
haven't we had enough of your delusional liberal thinking?
Hello, Scott won! you lose....

Fordfan, Typical tea party is typical in the way that it shows how stupid most liberals are to say "Walker, where are the jobs" when he brought unemployment down in Wisconsin despite Obama's national problems.
Way to go Scottie!! We'll be sending you help in November.

The Scott Walker JOB CHART....

http://news.firedoglake.com/2012/05/14/s...

The clock is TICKING Scotty...enjoy your brief time before the legal system of the FBI John Investigation takes over....

http://www.walkerinvestigation.com/docs/...

AND review all those connected to Scotty...

http://www.walkerinvestigation.com/docs/...

usaret - I swear I saw you supporting Walker in the recall and by default telling the teachers they would get the typical government funding of their retirement cut in half. Maybe I am wrong in that but I don't think so.

Scotty, you really shouldn't hit the bottle before noon anymore.

HD - your man did win the election and then by association you did "win". Unfortunately we all lost with a Walker win......time will show that. Also, I agree with you on OBAMA stiffing Wisconsin. I have communicated my disappointment with the White House multiple times through e-mails and phone calls. That does not, however mean that I would support the Tea Party owned Republican's nor vote for any - ever. It is not in our nation's best interest.

kay - the typical tea party response from you all is to just go out and get a job and the unemployment will drop. Since there are so many jobs available, people people must be too lazy to work. Therefore, based on that, Obama must have done his job. The ONLY able bodied people that I know who have taken unemployment when they could be working are Republicans - many are tea party Republicans who want to basically do away with unemployment, Social Security and Medicare.

fordfan
we are still waiting 42 months for Obama's promise of unemployment under 8%. How about that?

Thank you me friends
Motorman doesn't like Walker but he is the winner.

Give motorman credit for sticking around when the likes of mouse, sarahb1, concernedperson, KochBros and others have all vanished.
Will you go too motorman after November when Romney wins and the GOP takes back the Wisconsin Senate?

poorrichard - why don't you tell me what it is about and state your leaders. If they are Limbaugh, Beck, Bachmann, Walker, Palin, Ryan, Norquist, Fitzgerald, etc. I know exactly what the Tea Party is about. Destroying our government internally by refunding it and obstructing any and all legislation by the majority using any means necessary (legal or not)....and that is all I need to know along with the pictures and comments about the current president. If I am wrong, please correct me.

Mr. Rocketman Governor, where are the jobs you promised so many times? And now you say you feel super?

Workers don't feel so super.

fordfan and garyprimer,
"who thinks
that he has won."....Uhhhh...Think ???...I did win. Where are you getting your facts from. Geesh pull your head out man.....??????
And as far as free speech, go ahead and continue whining if you want to...and I will continue to point out that you LOST...as in my freedom of speech...
And just out of curiosity, (as I doubt you will answer)..what did this administration do for your guy other than a "TWEET" a few days before the election stating support...Oh Wow...then stated it was only a local matter, so did not get involved....
And also where did all the big union money go ??? Obviously they knew they were going to loose, so kept if for the Presidential election...yep, you got sold out FerShure !!

janesvillefirst

This has been hidden fairly good in the news. I want to see if he gets the same treatment as others who used work accounts during campaign time. Maybe the former Walker employee will get dismissed, it they do nothing with Mitchell.

Mahlon Mitchell Used Offical Fire Department Email Network for Campaign

http://mediatrackers.org/2012/07/30/mahl...

Give him a chance He was looking at all drought damage and thinking how he could get all the unemployed people to get out with watering cans and help out. That should put alot of people to work. That would put one hell of a dent in that 250,000 jobs

Because James Brown is dead...

Motorman said at 3:54: Let me help you, Walker is an uneducated dropout loser.

I say to Motorman now; If this is true, what does that say about Tom Barrett and all the other candidates that run against him?

Just askin.....

fordfanfan-Your 1:28 post tells anybody who knows anything at all about the Tea Party that you don't know ANYTHING about it. Find out what it's about,then post. It will make you sound like you know what you're talking about.

usaret: I'm sure they do. Feel free to call out those people who are WRONG in their judgements/assumptions as well. I consider myself at least slightly liberal, although I do agree w many conservative view points(I grew up in a small town where we clung to guns/religion:) and when I see someone say someone may 'seem to be typical libs, they never smile or feel good about anything' I feel it's worth my effort to call that out and hopefully at least get someone to think about their judgements since it is flat out wrong. WE ALL know that happiness isn't related to a political/social view point.

I guess that would be fairly easy.

yea he is, Walker is a SUPER ROCK STAR!!!!

Bob, what's wrong?
You don't sound very happy
for someone who thinks
that he has won.

Fordfan: Where did I say that teacher's didn't earn their retirement pay. They earned it.
And your comments do not reflect the Dem's talking points!

hd - usaret just told me that he believes in free speech and now we need can't have free speech? And I am not even asking to see Walker's birth certificate. Is that acceptable free speech to you?

usaret - I don't automatically discount anything you say or believe because you are Republican. It is because I have read your posts which are pretty much Tea Party Republican views and talking points that I discount most of what you say or believe. For instance, why do you say that you earned your retirement but then say that teachers do not? Pretty much that same thing as far as retirement goes, right?

Where are all the "super" jobs you said you were going to create, scooter?

wislady, do tell us more about "mahlon (the union thug) mitchell? I just googled and didn't see much.

Time for all you whine babies to shut up...you lost TWICE...
If you don't like him, you have plenty of time to come up with another candidate to beat him at the next election...and also plenty of time to harass this administration as well as your big unions that both let you down big time in the recall....Send your bitching to them...we don't care anymore...it is over....

Fordfan:So, if I am a Republican you automatically discount anything I say or believe. Well like you, I believe in free speech and the right to earn a decent living. Also, I receive my military retired pay which I earned. Additionally I have worked and saved, no fortune but enough and I have never used unemployment---. With the exception of the VA Benefits, there isn't much difference is there?

ttthompson: you made the following statement--How do you even know what a 'typical lib' thinks or feels in any given day-----
I was just curious why you ask that since many of the comments by Lib's profess to know what the conservatives think or feel.

916wi - you are SO funny and definitely don't know what you are talking about!!!!!! I am not in need of a job and I am well set for life unless the Tea Party Republicans take it all which they are attempting to do with their policies. I just don't like dishonest, lying Tea Party politicians like the Republicans specialize in (Walker is the perfect example). You just see a TP/R after a name and then believe everything they say. I want others to have the same opportunity as I had so they can also have a good life. I have never taken anything from the government except my paltry military pay and about $6,700 in VA benefits. Never took unemployment, etc. Any other advice you have for me Mr "I know Everything"?

It was a super day for all of us who believe in the voting process and why we have regular elections.

916WI; well put, I would have to agree wholeheartedly with you on your response.

I wonder when the Mahlon Mitchell story will be in the Gazette, and if he will be charged for his illegal campaign activity.

fordfan.......Everyone I know is employed. It's very possible that you need to work on your attitude and/or your skill set--if you spend some time focusing on these two things a very good chance that a good job will find it's way to you as well. Blaming the governor will do nothing to resolve the deficiencies that seem to be holding you back. Good luck!!!

great link tthompson!

anyways...the reason I clicked on this story to begin with...

With all due respect Janesvillefirst, your perspective of a 'liberal' is flawed.

I think the majority of people in WI feel super as well!

I smile often and tend to have a positive outlook; just not about the changes that Walker has put in place that have me on the verge of losing much of what I've worked my whole life for while I also watch beloved friends and family members go under as well.I'm not cyncial but realistically concerned about the welfare of myself and many others who are important to me that are good, hard-working, well-intentioned people. But thanks for the feedback. Duly put in one ear and now out the other!

I don't purposely surround myself with libs, but if you live in Dane or Rock Co., you have no choice. The examples are many, but I spose one of the most recent was when the local Democrat Club tried to disrupt a peaceful political rally on Sunday at Court and Main. They are always wild eyed and yelling at the top of their lungs and that doesn't equate to a happy person to me.

Mr. Rocketman Governor.....where are the jobs? You said hiring would take off like a rocket if you were re-elected. Where are the jobs? You have failed repeatedly except in the area of lies and deception in which you are proven success.

Typical lib?? How do you even know what a 'typical lib' thinks or feels in any given day?? Do you surround yourself with those you define as 'typical libs'?? Mabye that's just how you WANT them to think and feel. Typical anonymous poster.

Cynic and Nina seem to be typical libs, they never smile or feel good about anything. To bad....

It's a great day in Wisconsin!!!

I've seen him in his cape !

I feel super, also!

cynicalvoter & nina: Maybe you two should try to quit being so cynical........

I second that...

Glad he does, because I sure as hell don't.
