Walker and Hendricks what a match made in heaven. I hope they can cry together too when walker gets what he deserves! They both make me want to puke!Hendricks spends hundreds of thousands to back a man who lies and destroys her own state but and I know first hand,wont help some of her own family members who need it. Greedy,money hungry,dont care about anyone other than themselves! Of course some of you will say diane is a saint and has helped many. Walker has too right??? Pull your heads out of your butts people do a little research!

VERY SCARY.... I WILL BE VOTING DEMOCRATIC......

Seeing how Hendricks seems to loathe unions, its very possible unions are the only thing keeping her in check with her treatment of employees, lest they organize to join a union. Once unions are gone, there would be nothing stopping employers from treating their employees like disposable trash.

Woody....Absolutely. From what I hear, they have treated and continue to treat their employees extremely well. Wisconsin would be a much better place if we had a couple more ABC Supplys popping up all over the state.....

I do have great respect for the Hendricks and what they did to help this area; however, the greatest test of charactor is how a person treats people after they become wealthy.

@Joe_McC- Don't try to defend Walkers words and actions by deflecting to something else. This cannot be defended. The whole fact that he made the statements while being videotaped
( and this time he knew about it) points to his stupidity.

Scott Walker ... “divide and conquer,”

Or Tom Barrett ... "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3MiD_U4CHQ"

usaret,
Take a look around. Despicable comments are being made on both sides. Be more critical of your peers, instead of turning a blind eye. I am afraid you need to look at the facts, not misrepresentations. The facts show that Scott Walker is surely doing the wrong thing.

Any politician Rep, Dem or Independent when refering to their constituents should never and i mean NEVER use the phrase...."divide and conquer"....it boggles the mind that some even try to defend that.....this clown Walker has got to be replaced i want my friends , neighbors and family to get along and work together!

The more I read of the hate filled comments from the Left, the more I am sure Walker is doing right by the State. Talk about divide and conquer----What does the Left think it is doing here? Creating unity? A large portion of the comments are just repeats of what has been said over the last couple of years the only difference is the Headlines. What will the big topic be next week? Will it be based on fact or fiction?

"A divide and conquer algorithm works by recursively breaking down a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same (or related) type, until these become simple enough to be solved directly. The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a solution to the original problem."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_...

Hendricks and Co.- To blatantly plot to take away rights of the hard working people of this state for you own aggrandizement is just wrong anywhere at any time. You need to re-evaluate your thinking.

Didn't he testify under oath to Congress that it was strictly a budgetary issue--this video shows it was about more then that. Lying to Congress is a big no-no I think.

916, fair enough. Let's see what shakes out.

nomore......It would depend completely on what the "corruption" is that were talking about. I haven't had the time or the inclination to look into what the left is screaming about, but if it's sending "please support me" emails out, regardless if it was done by someone on the left or the right, I could seriously care less. I use my work email all the time to send personal emails, as I suspect 99% of the population does. For me to chastise anyone for doing the same would be hypocritical. I'll probably get called out for saying that, but we have people in the Federal government that spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions of taxpayer dollars flying around the country campaigning, under the guise of doing their job, and we want to go after people for e-mails?? Same thing when Clinton got caught with his pants down(literally) with that fatty......I was totally irritated by the anti-Clinton crowd screaming for impeachment. The "incident" had no effect on his job performance, and who wouldn't have stretched the truth in a situation such as that ....:)

916, you wrote: "If he were to completely flip flop his position on unions, voter id, a reduction of welfare/entitlement programs, I would have no issue railing against him"
I am actually happy to hear you say that. I would hope that you might add that if he is found to be corrupt you would also rail against him. You are the first Walker supporter I can recall who has even suggested s/he would rail against him for any reason, so that is encouraging. I am voting more against Walker than for Barrett. I would have other preferences, but those will be the major choices. Walker and his administration have helped create a very hostile environment in WI, therefore, almost anyone would be better than he would be. You may like some of the things he has done and I may dislike how he has achieved those very same things. You and I can (and obviously do) disagree on the issues and how to approach them, but I at least respect your last response for supporting Walker (or not).

i-luv-jvl......Oh no!! How horrible--She nodded!!!!!.......You guys crack me up:) What was she supposed to do? Slap him in the face and demand that he introduce legislation that would empower the unions--give them the opportunity to come in and compromise the amazing and incredibly successful company she has dedicated the last half of her life building??

Carlitos......The only thing comment I have for your last post is that it is an incredible exercise in ignorance. Which, unfortunately, does not surprise me in the least.......

nomore...... Your quote, "The framing of your question to Sarah says everything one would need to know about those who think like you. You are at least making people wonder why they would support Walker when those like you are among his supporters" made me laugh! I support Walker because he has championed legislation that I believe in. I could care less who the politician is, it's the initiative which is important to me. Why is that so difficult to understand? If he were to completely flip flop his position on unions, voter id, a reduction of welfare/entitlement programs, I would have no issue railing against him........
Why are you voting for Barrett? His policies? You realize they haven't worked well(at all) in Milwaukee for what has been nearly a decade.......

Did you see her nod in affirmation to the "divide and conquer" statement?

Wow. Just lost a TON of respect for Ms. Hendricks.

poorrichard, no, I won't. That's the beauty of not being tied to a politician or a party. I vote for the best candidate. It wasn't Walker, isn't Walker and won't be Walker.

deleted1- a vote for walker is a vote for his friends to keep the corrupt dealings going.

Yada: Should you ever find yourself on trial for a crime you didn't commit, you will be hoping for a jury foreman who is a lot more like me and a lot less like you.

SarahB1: Thanks. Yes, I have read the transcript. As it was transcribed, what immediately follows the now infamous soundbite (divide and conquer) is almost nonsensical blabber. All the more reason to watch it firsthand, IMO. I suspect the folks at Journal/Sentinel had a similar reaction to mine. Why else would they bother reviewing and transcribing the raw video?

nomoreres-And you will still vote Barrett even when his policies affect you negatively.

Instead of whining about how much money Hendricks has donated to Walker (her legal right), why don't you look into how many peoples lives have been raised by the jobs and the benefits the Hendricks have created. Starting with nothing and becoming a billionaire in Beloit Wisconson should be an inspiration to us all but for many people they are just a sign of greed and everything that's wrong in America. So many have the attitude that the rich are evil and are just trying to hose the rest of us from getting our food stamps, unemployment checks and welfare or forcing everone in min. wage jobs.

916, you asked Sarah the following: "Do you honestly think that anyone will all of the sudden go from supporting Walker to supporting a Democratic mayor who has governed a failing city for nearly a decade over an excerpt from a video shot over a year ago with a leading question asked by one of Walker's biggest contributors?" I would say that some will, but not those like you who will support Walker regardless of what he has done or what he will do, except when it begins affecting you negatively. And even then some of you will still support him because you're too proud to admit the error of your ways. The framing of your question to Sarah says everything one would need to know about those who think like you. You are at least making people wonder why they would support Walker when those like you are among his supporters.

Madeindreamland, that info has been on the rep party website for months. How exactly was it hiding?

Yes, the slobbery kiss from Walker to Hendricks is disgusting. I can hear it on the video.

So, she kisses him, and then she gives him money. Isn't there a word for that??

The true colors of this 5.0 group are shining. They are in place to promote their own political agenda. Remember that, voters, as you go to the poll on June 5. Barrett will work to heal our state and bring us back together. No more of this "divide and conquer."

Sarah......I failed to see your point because it makes zero sense. Do you honestly think that anyone will all of the sudden go from supporting Walker to supporting a Democratic mayor who has governed a failing city for nearly a decade over an excerpt from a video shot over a year ago with a leading question asked by one of Walker's biggest contributors? Seriously.......you can't possibly be that clueless.....can you?? I think that long drive out of state to get to your job is starting to take it's toll on you......

walker & his GOONS have make sure that WE THE PEOPLE STAND TOGETHER
walker & his goons will be out of office soon
This vidio should prove to everyone how much the rich dislike those of us that are & have worked hard to get to where we are.

The name says it all - The FOOL on the hill.

You want real info - Study these facts...see the people Walker has appointed and worked with, 20 feet from his desk in a few cases as County Ex.

The placement of the sign and WI under SCOTT WALKER has LOST more private sector jobs than any other state. It must be part of his Divide and Conquer plan. RECALL WALKER.

The last four comments from etown, yada and Zoom go directly to my point about abruptly and awkwardly editing a video in the middle of someone's statement. If that few seconds of video cut by Brad Lichtenstein had been supportive of his argument, you can bet we'd have seen it. I simply want to see what he thinks we should NOT see.

(When an audio or video tape is entered as evidence in a court of law the entire recording becomes evidence; not one carefully selected excerpt. The reason for that rule should be obvious.)

I AGREE with CREEPY on the hug & kiss. All part of the Divide and Conquer plan.

Did anyone else find Walker's hug and kiss rather creepy?

i find it interesting that he would even try to explain his statement. the explanation is simple. divide and conquer...divide = to get all the voters to fight with each other ( mission accomplished) conquer= to take voters rights over piece by piece , he s accomplished part of this ( collective bargaining, voter id , redistricting) and still working on the rest .

you can see how her whole body language changes when he says the word union and the eye roll. maybe someone should start a union at abc she probably have a heart attack.

The top .1% asking the Gov how he will "work on these unions" really means "how can you make it so I can exploit the great workers in this county so I can become more wealthy?" What motive is there for someone with that much wealth to push for right-to-work legislation? Right-to-work means more profits and, more importantly, more control over the workers.

Very nice, deleted1. For an encore you probably make noises with your hand in your armpit, right?

delete1, nice.. keep telling yourself that! Blind allegiance to any party regardless the candidate is what is ruining the country and this state.

Mary Willmer Sheedy was one of the few people to travel to Sedona, AZ to hand pick Janesville's new manager, Eric Levitt. I will not have money in M&I this time next week.

http://gazettextra.com/news/2008/oct/01/...

Cognitive dissonance. If you still support Walker, you've got it, dude. You've got it bad.

You who support this jerk will not even believe the truth when it is in plain view God help you as you need it if you think this CRIMINAL PIECE OF GARBAGE SHOULD RUN THIS STATE. The only THUGS I see is Walker and his Koch boys. Get the baseball bat Snotty your gonna need it. Lest you forget the UNIONS are the ones that gave the people the fair wage/safe work place/equal pay/40 hour work week...... Now the GOP and all their billionaire corporations will have everyone in the streets. And you moronic supporters will not admit it is wrong I pity you children as they will have no future to look forward nor a decent education. What a sad lack of understanding Good luck to you as you sure need it. JUNE 5th Buh-bye Scooter These videos are waking people up and at the right time.

Just google "santorum nig" and read it for your self. Who asked this racist to janesville anyways? Was it Forward Janesville or RC 5.0?

search: santorum nig on youtube and see what santorum said right here in janesville 3/27/12...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgrhJSAaY...

The other person in the video is Mary Willmer Sheedy, President of M & I Bank. Mary pretends to support education in this community. What a phoney. I can't do much about ABC Supply, but I will be pulling my money from M & I. Whoever said the true colors of this Janesville 5.0 group/Forward Janesville group have been revealed was 100 percent correct. They are simply working to carry out the far right winged agenda of our governor, who believes the way to govern is to lie, cheat, and divide the state. I don't know what people are thinking who support him?

Okay here is another good one..
Take a look at the house on the corner of Bond and Grant. He has a "I support Walker" sign in his yard and he is flying his flag UPSIDE DOWN!!
That is NOT the kind of people I want running the state.
That is one of the most disrespectfull things I have ever seen.
The guy accorss the street from him has it right.
Once again I say.
God bless all. :-)
(we are going to need it)

He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy on the needy. —Proverbs 14:31
I wonder if he still calls himself Christian?
God bless all. :-)

Walker and his wanting of totalitarian government that will be controlled & run by a few - the elite of his world.

WOODY ---> You are correct in what you say - thank you.

"The 53 vs 47 conservative majority of wis voters believe in right to work rules."
.
I defy you to come up with any hard evidence to support this claim.

From 10/31/08 Gazette article by Jim Leute talking with Forward Janesville president John Beckord: "Make no mistake, Forward Janesville’s overriding goal is to advance the interests of its members."

youkillme said: "You can take the "unity" out of all the community BS Diane Hendricks, the Rock County 5.0 and their two-faced Forward Janesville affiliate have tried to phony down our throats. They have finally shown their true fascist colors. Citizens of Janesville and Rock County should rethink who and what these groups are, who their liaisons are in our taxpayer paid government and boot these traitors out. If divide and conquer is so good, we all need to learn it. Thank Scott Walker and Diane Hendricks for tearing apart our communities."
I say: "WELL SAID!!!!"

The 53 vs 47 conservative majority of wis voters believe in right to work rules. So we also believe in the governor that will fight for them. For those of you from janesville, right to work means noncompulsary union membership or dues.

The 1% Right wants to divide and conquer the unity of the 99% left. Without unity, there's nothing to conquer so that means it's all the Left's fault.

Loons.

Strange how the Left is blaming the Right for DIVIDE AND CONQUER. How interesting that they take no blame for their Divide and Conquer tactics. But of course they are looking out for us poor people and protecting us. BS. They just want to continue down the road of spend, spend, spend, and then when the money is gone, it's all the fault of the rich.

Or triangulate, or spin, or whatever, does not mean a pinch. Politics is a vicious game. Man up crybabies.

Who was the other lady in the video with Hendricks and where does she work?? Yes - I agree with the comment on - Rock Co. 5.0 have shown who they really are. They sure don't represent me in any possible way.

DIVIDE & CONQUER - I find it interesting to look at how the term / expression has been used in history. Walker knows what it means! Dictators have used this for a long time. Walker has already started the first part of the process by allowing police, fire, etc to NOT be included in Collective Bargaining. He would be quite happy to see worker against worker, much like the divisions he has already created in our state. Walker was also more than willing to consider putting troublemakers in with the Madison peaceful rallies. Keep in mind that IN WALKERS the RIGHT TO WORK STATE-->You will have lower pay, less benefits, less worker imput, unsafe working conditions, etc - Get ready to bow and say thank you to your boss as your check is handed to you.

thekai I agree with you 100% you state the facts and if anyone can't see what is true has blinders on.

You can take the "unity" out of all the community BS Diane Hendricks, the Rock County 5.0 and their two-faced Forward Janesville affiliate have tried to phony down our throats. They have finally shown their true fascist colors. Citizens of Janesville and Rock County should rethink who and what these groups are, who their liaisons are in our taxpayer paid government and boot these traitors out. If divide and conquer is so good, we all need to learn it. Thank Scott Walker and Diane Hendricks for tearing apart our communities.

Midnight_Ride said, "Poobah, is your argument over 10 million dollar difference? Mine from a world wide news source and yours from opinion blogs."

1) $70.4 BILLION - $60.7 MILLION = $70,339,300,000 difference! That's over a $70 BILLION ERROR FOX News and YOU made, Midnight_Ride.

2) My combined 2008 Presidential campaign spending came from the SAME SOURCE you and FOX News cited! The Center for Responsive Politics. [ http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/ ]

How in the world could any entity donate over $70 BILLION as you suggested, when Obama and McCain COMBINED raised just over $1.1 BILLION? Back to your fantasy world of FOX News.

I see some of that Botox on Diane's face may have leaked into her brain.

This is a bizarre turn to think Democrats didn't turn out or that every Republican did. No, many Republican's didn't. We had no candidate to pick. Riggs was not a concern.

Hardtobelieve, Oh come on now. I have friends and family members that didn't vote either that will in June.
Walker was COUNTY exec. Milwaukee is one city in the county in a mess of trouble.

Midnight: I know several people in just the circle of friends I have, that did not vote because they did not care who wins the Democratic primary. They would vote for the victor on June 5th no matter what. My daughter did not bother to vote but is for sure on June 5th and for Barrett. She was away in College. We really did not have to vote either because the Democrats will vote for whomever is running against Walker on June 5th.Like a previous poster said, everyone has made up their mind already and I really feel the $500,000 Hendricks put in Walker's pocket could have been used in SO many different ways than to buy a politician.And that is true with any contributer at this time. And as far as the ads against Barrett and how bad Milwaukee is, Scooter was county exec at the same time and did nothing to improve the county.

Poobah, is your argument over 10 million dollar difference? Mine from a world wide news source and yours from opinion blogs.
Okay, still dues from members they now have a choice to avoid.

If Diane Hendricks is such a good employer, why is she so scared of unions and the little people organizing? It looks like we have rich dictators wanting to take over the state.

Midnight_Ride plagiarized, "SEUI’s political action committee reported $70.4 billion in expenditures for the 2008 Obama campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics."

Midnight_Ride, first, you should learn how to correctly attribute items you quote that are not your own words. To do otherwise is plagiarism. Of course, the item you quoted originated with FOX News -- no surprise there! [ http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/05/... ] And, of course, FOX News made NO ATTEMPT to correct the obvious error in the amount given to Obama's campaign by the SEIU.

Secondly, you should know the numbers you quoted are GROSSLY IN ERROR, when the very SAME source clearly shows the total amount raised in 2008 by Obama and McCain COMBINED was slightly over $1.1 billion. [ http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/ ] You quoting misinformation and using a ridiculous number like $70.4 billion shows you have no concept of the amount of money being spent by presidential campaigns and did no fact-checking on it.

"We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama — $60.7 million to be exact — and we're proud of it." - Service Employee International Union President Andy Stern [ http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/se... ]

Hardtobelieve, Are you claiming victory in a primary Republicans did not have to go vote? Very rich.
Bottom line here is Scott Walker knew he was being filmed. He wasn't hiding anything and if you weren't hitting mute everytime his ads came up, you'd know he was doing this.
Recall talks were in the emails exposed in November by the left. So it didn't matter what or how Walker fixed the budget. They lost.period. ..Recall him.
Your poll is out of date to the new poll that came out today. Walker is up by 5% with 2% undecided.
http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/walker-b...

mentor397-You said "I for one am offended that politicians use things like strategies to promote their agenda!" We had a President already with no strategies-Carter. Obama's loaded with them though-none good.
A serious question for you-What should they use to promote their agenda?

Midnight Ride: Your name says it all. You are so in the dark. Everything but the kitchen sink? Well, here it comes and it is going to hurt the most. More votes than all democrats combined? Your math is a "little" fuzzy. The Democrats had 675,000 and Scooter had 625,000. And you forget that over 1,000,000 people signed the recall list. If you really think that 625,000 votes will win this, then we have an easy victory. The latest poll out of Marquette University shows Barrett ahead by 2% points. Keep thinking the way you do. That kitchen sink is being loaded up as you write.

thekai, you have written many excellent comments on many different blogs. Thank you for being so reasonable and articulate. It is sad that so many choose to stick to their party labels rather than see what is so obvious. You have done a great service to the masses by sharing your posts. Many others, on the other hand, have chosen to spew their hatred and partisanship. It is truly sad to see a nation and a state resort to such tactics. I hope people will awaken to to what they are doing before it is too late.

@mentor 397 said: I for one am offended that politicians use things like strategies to promote their agenda!

Oh my gosh, mentor is offended. Let's all cower in the corner. What in'ell do you think all politicians do? Didn't Cullen and the 13 other cowards that went to the strip joint in Rockford for a couple weeks have a strategy to promote their goofy agenda.

You're a weak sister when it comes to logic.

Thank goodness for Diane and all of the contributors to the politicians that want to do the right thing.

Sarah......Can you not read? You have to know that I am adamantly anti-union......unless you're totally clueless because my posts over the last couple of years have made that fact COMPLETELY clear.......Keep up the good work Governor Walker!!!

SarahB1, perhaps Scott Walker "evolved". Youkillme, I believe you are thinking of Pres. Obama. He has actually done that.

SEUI’s political action committee reported $70.4 billion in expenditures for the 2008 Obama campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The Service Employees International Union, one of President Obama’s biggest supporters, is paying the Occupy's $4,000-a-month rent at the Institute for Policy Studies.

Not all Public Employees want to see their hard earned money being spent this way but had no choice until Gov. Walker was elected. No choice if they wanted to continue teaching.
If the Unions were so concerned about these members paying a small percent for benefits, they would resist giving 70 billion dollars away. 70 billion dollars is dues collected from union members that had no choice. Now they do.

Scott Walker can assault Mother Teresa and crucify Jesus Christ and Walker's lunatic supporters would say they deserved it and had it coming.

dtb, I agree with you as the polls confirm.
To the Dems, this affirms what they already believe about Scott Walker and to the Republicans, we'll stand behind him for all his successes. Also, for his strenghth to fight the overwhelming assault by the likes of SEIU and others. To give the public workers the freedom to choose.

I for one am offended that politicians use things like strategies to promote their agenda!

This really won't make a difference in the election. Nobody is about to change their vote at this point. To the Dems, this just affirms what they already believe about the nefarious Scott Walker and to the Repubs; well they'll stand behind him no matter what he does. Net gain = zero for either side.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsbaTrrXe...

zoom , just what does that new s article clear up ? just before he was elected he said he would have to deal with the state employee s with collective bargaining . he didnt say by taking their collective bargaining rights away. so basically you cant believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Poorrichard, "divide and conquer" is a term for victory as you said the Democrats use it all the time. I think the issue here is Walker has been successful. The left has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at us. We were supposed to be dejected. They were suppose to control the Senate and Walker should be down in the recall polls.
Instead we see nearly as many votes for Walker as ALL of the Democrats in an election that didn't matter for us right now. Walker is up in the polls by the same exact number as 2010.
They only have a one line statement they use all the time. Balloon deflated.

When I get poll calls I answer the opposite of how I will vote--doubt I'm the only one.(I would never vote for walker)

Much ado about NOTHING. Do you think the Democrats did't have this same strategy? They just didn't have some Republican film maker catch it on tape. Worry about jobs and getting people back on their feet instead of this piddly bull.

Wow, the Democrats are really trying to gin up some outrage over Governor Walker using the phrase "divide and conquer" while pretending that they don't try to "divide and conquer" the Republicans before every election. I guess they think they need to work up some sanctimony before the recall election. Is desperation creeping in? You can't really blame them for being at least somewhat desperate. They have a lot riding on the recall outcome and it seems to be going rather poorly for them.

Yeah Rassmussen is reliable. Might as well just call it Fox News poll, always favorable to repubs, ALWAYS. the only poll that matters is the one on June 5.

kaysbrew,
I did not say that I -want- to be my brother's keeper. I am my brother's keeper. I also never said government should be your sugar daddy. I said government has certain responsibilities to every citizen.

I cannot remember who to credit this saying to. A great nation cannot be defeated from without, until it has defeated itself from within.

Walker's divide and conquer strategy is good for no one. There is a right way and a wrong way to conduct business.

Excellent point, dtb.

Thank you Tim, and everyone else who has always supported or respected me.

Here I am, explaining that I do believe unions have become corrupt and need reform (as opposed to complete disintegration). Yet, not a single Republican, or perhaps I should say outspoken supporter of Walker (that I am aware of) has publicly posted on this website that they agree. The unions are always their mortal enemy. And that is the problem with this election. Most Republicans are viewing it as Scott Walker vs The Evil Unions. That just is not so. That is a fantasy. It is not Scott Walker vs The Evil Unions. It is Scott Walker vs The United People of Wisconsin. Republican or Democrat, it should be clear that Walker is corrupt. If corruption is what you wish to fight, then do not throw your support behind Scott Walker. Do not vote for Scott Walker. Vote to return sanity to Wisconsin. We can solve our problems without telling half of our state their opinion doesn't matter. Yes, this state has always been divided on how to approach dilemmas. However, we've never before been so polarized that we could not come to some sort of consensus and work together to face our challenges.

Suggest removal
hahahaheeee –
divide class,
Label union members as greedy – this includes teachers, nurses, correctional officers, social workers, etc… All living “high on the hog”
.
divide women,
De-fund planned parenthood, ultrasound prior to LEGAL abortion, pass bills AGAINST equal pay, call a private citizen pointing out the benefits (NON-SEX) of birth control A SLUT, etc… All rational and needed in 1912 ERRR 2012
.
divide race,
Defend the stalker, voter ID, question our presidents citizenship, religion, etc… When the president asks about an unarmed dead teenager and states “if I had a son he would look like me” criticize that and use the term “thug” whenever possible.
.
divide religion,
Call the president a Muslim and attack Mormonism
.
divide marriage,
Criticize the president for speaking honestly about a very difficult (personal & political) issue. Gay bash whenever possible and point out life was better when “bullying was legal”

REPUBLICANS run on this crap and then claim, “Democrats won't run on their record so they go back to the same playbook election after election.” SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!?!

mouse,
when Walker wins next month will we have to hide the kitchen utensils from you?
I would miss you. At least through November when I can say "chin up" to you again.

hahahaheeee - divide class, divide women, divide race, divide religion, divide marriage,
Democrats won't run on their record so they go back to the same playbook election after election.

Response Percent Votes
Yes, and nothing will change my mind 96% 269 votes
Yes, but I’m keeping my options open 2% 8 votes

& Gazette poll reflects Rasmussen's poll that only 2% undecided. Which still puts Walker in the lead 5%, which is what he won by the first time.
Wisconsin is a divided state. Walker didn't start anything that wasn't already there.

I'm glad to see him use terms and tactics by liberals, fight fire with fire.

Hey KAYSBREWSKI - Walker seems to be living the lie u are talking about. Telling the rich one thing and others something else...You are so funny.

Walker tells the rich like Hendricks he will "DIVIDE AND CONQUER" and then tells the general public what he thinks they want to hear. I am NOT surprised that Walker would want to PIT worker against worker. He is the same person that told the fake KOCH in the phone call that he had considered putting TROUBLEMAKERS in with peaceful rallies in Madison. Once again - he thought he was talking to one of the rich Koch brothers. There is also a good video(youtube) you can watch of Walker before the election for governor explaining how he would work with unions just like he did as County Executive in Milwaukee. Lies, lies and more lies - lacking integrity and true character.

Come on Mouse! Air what you know! Don't make accusations and then say do your own investiagation. Spit it out already! I've yet to insult you but have only asked for you to say what you know about your accusations!

AC - How ignorant do you think?
The only people mad at you for speaking the truth are those living a lie. If that's all you got, you lose.

Pepsi, Coke, Kraft, Bill Gate and McDonalds + a whole host of others saw the light.

The light of blue fist thugery. Silence and theats. How dare you have freedom of choice.

Now you know want Political Corruption is all about. I got my Three Billion, now lets see if we can screw all those poor slobs that actually work for a living.

@kaysbrew- I could be wrong but I think Diane Hendricks would cringe at having you be her spokesperson. Or maybe not- she does seem to surround herself with relatively ignorant people.

Mouse - Great show of proof! There's nothing like making statements of stealing from the public and when you are called on the floor all you can say is "You know it" and "Deny it"! Diane owns several hundred properties nationwide so which ones were purchased at pennies on the dollar? Which ones did the government pay for the renovations? And last but not least, Which ones are being leased by the government? Come on Mouse, I'm still calling BS!

"So if ABC is such a great place to work and she's all about keeping employees happy, why is she asking Walker to "do something about those unions" and make WI a right to work state unless she's gaming for a way to pay less wages?"

Here is a more balanced article about the video issue.
http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepoliti...

That's part of it dtb. This event exposes Hendricks and Rock County 5.0 as the rotten apples many people always suspected. Hendricks is a billionaire with a stable company, she has no business trying to buy politicians and impose her philosophy on others. Make your millions, try to create jobs but don't tread on me, my beliefs or things I support and I won't tread on you. Walker should resign and Hendricks should apologize to the people of Rock County.

Keep helping Diane. Love your spine against the liberal attacks. How dare you have a free choice of political party. How dare you support them on the backsof your workers. Oh wait, you supply weekly income to these workers as payment for their services. Unions take the money for the backs of workers and give to a political party. MY bad

So if ABC is such a great place to work and she's all about keeping employees happy, why is she asking Walker to "do something about those unions" and make WI a right to work state unless she's gaming for a way to pay less wages?

Good for you for wanting to be your brother's keeper. So go do it. Red Cross, Salvation army, Habitat for humanity.
Don't tell me my government is my sugar daddy.
Limited government. Not a way of life.

For anyone on the fence about whether Walker's strategies were more than fiscal issues, here is your proof. Walker and his Republican lemmings want to break ALL unions in Wisconsin, and Hendricks is the backer. Shameful.

I find it fasinating that most of the liberals were all about the government getting out of the way of the Taco truck in Milton and leave him alone. Until he adds some more trucks, hires more employees, expand into state wide franchise and become a million dollar company.
Crucify him and the American dream of making a better life for yourself. And don't you dare give a donation to the Republican party that helped you keep your taxes low and lifted stifling regulations previous set by liberal administrations.

thekai for gov'na!!!! Or president!!!

...and you managed to get fired Roofrack? Or was the work still to much for you?

1. The money is there for schools..just need to reform the way we teach....get unions out of the way...they don't want to improve and they don't want others to improve it..the US spends more per pupil than many other countries but we achieve mediocre results..

2. I got my healthcare for my family and I.....not sure why it's my business to worry who has healthcare or not.....

3. Real problems?.....everyone has real problems..some choose to bathe in their misery while others confront adversity by getting up every time they get knocked down.....some can't and I understand that but many won't do it..they need politicians to spoon feed their way into success with welfare...
============

1. Why are you making this into a unions are either good or evil issue? I agree that unions need reform. I do not support eliminating the unions. Fix the unions, fix the school. Destroy the unions for your own conservative agenda, polarize the state. There are often multiple ways to solve a problem. Scott Walker's way has nothing to do with fixing education, and has everything to do with pushing a conservative agenda. Get rid of Walker, then we can focus on fixing our problems.

2. Health care should be something that is provided to everyone. If you can afford premium health care you should receive it. If you cannot afford health care, then you get the standard that is available for everyone. There is no reason we should tell people they are completely on their own. I agree that it is good to motivate people, but you cannot just leave people completely unprotected. The health care system in this nation is a joke. It needs to be fixed. Just because you have been privileged or lucky does not mean there is no problem. Don't ignore the problem, fix it.

3. Real problems, question mark? Do you think there are not real issues we are facing, as a state? A drill instructor once gave a great demonstration. He held up a pencil and said, "This pencil represents one recruit. By yourself, I can easily snap you and destroy you." He snapped the pencil. Then he held up a fist full of pencils. The purpose of the demonstration was to show that if we come together and work toward a common goal, we can accomplish great tasks. Scott Walker does not want us to come together. He wants to pick and choose so he can snap us one by one. The Republican way is every man, woman, and child for himself. We need to come together and face our problems. My neighbor's problem is my problem too. I am my brother's keeper.

Walker forgot to pray that day. Pray that nobody would hear what he really had to say.

'It must burn you guys that good old hard work and an entrepreneurial spirit beats a system of thoeries and systems......'

The good old hard work burns NO ONE. I promise you. What does burn people is that that success can then buy politicians. R or D, it happens and it's sad.

Well, we all know how promising a future in aviation is, don't we? Learning to fly is a novelty. Some of these kids may do something with it, most kids probably won't. What about our schools? Health care? What about REAL problems? I don't see the aviation community complaining about a lack of skilled pilots.

Spare the rhetoric. I don't care if some kids don't get a free ride to learn how to fly, when we have several more important issues to address first.

Many conservatives preach fiscal responsibility. Where is the fiscal responsibility in teaching kids how to fly? Are they going to buy their own airplanes, even though they couldn't pay for flying lessons? What about fuel? Planes use a lot more fuel than cars (obviously). But it's okay, just this once, because you are attacking the actions of a liberal, right?

You are right, LibertyBelle. Same stuff, different day. Same Republicans refusing to wake up and smell the coffee. Same Republicans blindly following their dear leader. Same Republicans, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Why not grow some courage and take a good, long, hard look at the facts.

John Doe investigation.

Scott Walker complains about outside interests rearing their noses in Wisconsin politics, but about 2/3 of his $25 million donations come from out of state.

Scott Walker lied about eliminating collective bargaining while campaigning in 2010, and now lies saying everyone knew what he was doing.

Scott Walker tells about half of the state their opinion doesn't matter, winning by about 100,000 votes gives him a mandate.

Scott Walker tells one of his major supporters the plan is to divide and conquer, then tells Wisconsin he has made a modest proposal and wants us to work together.

Scott Walker manufactures a fiscal crisis to give him the authority to push a non-fiscal conservative agenda.

Scott Walker leads Wisconsin backwards, worst, worst state in job creation in 2011.

Scott Walker makes deepest education cuts the state has ever seen.

Scott Walker polarizes the state like never before (divide and conquer mission: accomplished).

Take off the blinders. This election isn't Scott Walker vs Union Corruption. While Republican chickens run around with their heads cut off saying if a Democrat is elected the sky will fall, Republicans are lighting the state on fire. The sky certainly is falling under Scott Walker. There is no logical reason to support him. Even if you don't normally vote Democrat, clearly Scott Walker is not the right choice.

I love this article I just read about how the left is trying to destroy people like Koch and others that have given millions to Republicans. Try to silence nazi style. So fed up with it and all the millions coming into the Democrats AKA Clooney party, they are giving more as protest. Cool!

Mouse - I call BS! What is your proof of Hendricks purchasing buildings for pennies on the dollar and then turning around to lease them back to the government?

Mouse, try again and make some sense this time. I'd say slow down and think before you key but..well.. I don't think your brain can work much slower.

Same stupidity: Walker did exactly what he said he was going to do and this camera was right out in the open. Different day.

Oh yes! Thank you. Your post highlights my post exactly for you.

I worked for a UAW shop. All they did was protect the dirt bags that made the workforce weaker. It was embarrassing.

"Same stupidity, different day."
-
That, libertybelle, is the best analysis of Walkers and Fitzgeralds policies yet. Great post.

Same stupidity, different day.

Stubs, why has Milwaukee gotten worse in the past two years if it's all Walker's fault. Why is the rest of Milwaukee County not as bad as Milwaukee the city??
I don't believe Walker was executive of just one city like a Mayor is.

Bowlgal - it is another story, but before you go posting "Surplus!" you should probably know that the surplus was created by not paying bills in this cycle and deferring them (and the associated interest) to the next cycle. It is like me having $1000 in cash and $1200 in bills, and deciding not to pay my electric bill ($250) until next month and declaring a surplus for this month (when my electric bill with interest will be $300). A big fat lie.

----

Second - for all the people saying how horrible Milwaukee is and has been the past 8 years...ask yourself who was Milwaukee County Executive during much of that time? Who is governor now? Why hasn't Walker "fixed" that yet?

Beat the lefties at their own game. LMAO Super excited about the latest poll numbers.

I Love Scott Walker! Bet the Lefties at their own game...BRAVO!!!!!
Diane, you go girl. Don't allow the the Dums war on women stop you from hiring employees in exchange for their labor. They are happy to get a paycheck to pay for the high price of gas and write that mortgage check for a house that has dropped below it's value since 2009. Keep as many employed as you can, even the left wing, they need paychecks too. At least the ones that still want to work for their income and not expect a handout.

Welcome to the Walker big money connection right there in front of you to see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears. This video should be at the core of every Barrett ad with a split-screen showing $500,000 being stuffed into Walker's pockets by Diane Hendricks as Walker hands her a signed commemorative copy of Act 10.

After reading the transcript on jsonline.com, it gives me a new perspective on Rock County 5.0.

M&I staff desperately begs you to keep your business at their bank, and then they have a representative that participates in something like this. Yuk. Time for a new bank.

Right, all we are getting from the Democrats is divide and conquer. I'm glad this entire video is posted so we can all see what the Democrats and unions have done to this city, this state and this country with greed.

Retain Walker and Save Wisconsin.
Surplus!

Made...I am not a Walker supporter, but how do you know Scott and Tom are related? Walker is a popular last name. I looked on there site and saw nothing that indicates they are related. In fact there is a former NHL hockey player named Scott Walker. He played...wait for it...right wing.

Great post no facist.
-
916 your argument is completely irrational. First, it’s totally against union interests to force businesses to close. No workers; no union. Second, there are two competing interests that require representation; workers and business. The only reason unions exist is because business owners/managers took advantage of workers. Seven people sacrificed their lives in Bay View WI so ALL workers could enjoy a 40 hour work week. There are plenty of business organizations that lobby both local and federal legislators in their efforts to tilt the playing field to suit their interests. Workers deserve to have the same option. The ONLY valid reason to eliminate unions and limit their collective bargaining rights is to allow businesses to take advantage of workers. Walker essentially admits as much in the video.

Woody......Hendricks money does not help Rock County?? Tell that to all the charitable organizations she supports as well as the hundreds if not thousands of Rock County residents she employs.........That was possibly the most stupid comment of the day.......Congrats!

What are unions doing? Divide and conquer.
What is Obama doing? Divide and conquer.
What are most of the Leftist comments doing? Divide and Conquer.
What does any political party do? Divide and Conquer.
So, why is everybody so upset? This has been a tactic for decades? I know the Left is upset because they thought they had the market on Divide and Conquer and can't believe someone else would use the method. Too Funny.
Enjoy the Air Show Folks. Pay no attention to the boycotters comments---they hadn't planned on going anyway.

To those of you who continue to push that Tom Barrett has pushed Milwaukee backwards. My question to you (that I'd love an actual answer to - please no rhetoric) is: Who was the Milwaukee County Executor from 2002-2010? Does he play no role in Milwaukee's stats?

Just curious?

Also, that is Mary Wilmer-Sheedy greeting Walker. She is the President of M&I bank.
Glad I closed that account!

You can storm the Capitol, you can leave the state for Illinois, you can threaten small Union Grove businsses, you can boycott all the businesses you want, you can run a 2 second clip of Walker bringing surplus back to the Great state of Wisconsin and call it a lie, you can dress in pink dresses and chain your heads to gallery bars, you can dress like a zombie, you can yell shame all you want.
WALKER BEAT BARRETT BY 5 POINTS IN 2010. WALKER IS BEATING BARRETT BY 5 POINTS AS OF THIS WEEK WITH ONE 2% UNDECIDED.
..WHAT HAS CHANGED FOR YOU?
We are forking out millions for these recalls and what has changed except Wisconsin will now have a surplus.
We should be thanking the Democrats for highlighting ACT 10 and it's great reforms.

Ms. Hendricks did not become a billionaire without workers. She would not have been successful without workers. She doesn't need to be on a pedestal. Why do these ultra-rich need to donate huge sums of money to politicians? A million dollars certianly could have paid for several school teachers or fed hungry families.

Hendricks money does not help rock county....it only helps Hendricks and the Koch agenda. Quote: “divide and conquer”
This is class warfare and the rich are getting greedy!

No Airfest for this family. I will also be tracking where my building supplies come from. There will be none from ABC that is for sure.

What's the matter deleted1? Do you see union people making more money than you do? Is this your chance to get even with them? Or is it just that you worship billionares and want to help them out?

I used to be proud that Rock County could boast such a successful business run by self made people. I no longer feel that way. When you use your money to " divide and conquer" and try to bring down the hard working people of the entire state, you merit no such adulation. The right wing branch of the Republican party has demonstrated a lack of respect for the common man. To contribute to this type of thinking,quite frankly, stinks.

MadeinUSA - Great Idea, boycot an event they sponsor that is designed to give under privelaged kids a chance to get their pilots license! Your character shows right through doesn't it? So what exactly do you do for the community other than complain on a local papers website? Diane's way out of your league when it comes to community service!

I also read a post that she needs to start paying her fair share of taxes too! I'd be willing to bet in one day she pays more taxes between her personal and all of her businesses then most on here including their entire family trees will in a life time! What you forget is when her companies pay taxes, that too is her money! But the left doesn't want you to think of their businesses paying taxes as their money so you think the middle class is paying all the taxes for the country.

The wage gap between men and women in the United States is 32 percent. it is only 5 percent between union men and women
•
Right-to-work laws disproportionately harm people of color. Hispanic and Latino union members earn 45 percent more and African-Americans who are in unions see salaries 30 percent higher than African-Americans that are not in unions
•
The more workers that are unionized, the higher the wages that employers will offer, even to non-union workers, since workers are less willing to accept substandard wages
•
Higher wages mean more money is spent by working families, boosting the economy and leading to lower unemployment numbers
•
Higher rates of unionism lead to increases in productivity in both union jobs and non-union jobs, as employers must bring in new technology, new techniques and better training in order to attract better workers
•
Employers frequently offer higher wages to workers in order to prevent them from organizing a union, meaning that even the presence of unions and the possibility of their existence in a workplace increases wages
•
Right-to-work laws undercut unionized businesses in the states where they exist because non-union businesses can offer cheaper goods and services by exploiting their workers
•
Right-to-work laws interfere with employer-worker contracts by limiting what the two sides can engage in. These laws don't encourage freedom, they restrain it for all involved, placing the 'wisdom' of conservative politicians over that of both employers and workers

•Federal law already prohibits any American from being forced to join a union. Since this is almost the only argument that conservatives put forth in supporting right-to-work laws, and it's 100 percent false, what is the real motivation for these laws?
•
Right-to-work laws don't grant any rights, they simply weaken unions
•
Federal law also prohibits unions from using member or non-member fees from paying for activities that might violate the political or religious beliefs of the worker
•
These laws allow workers who do not pay union dues to obtain the same benefits, including legal representation from unions, as union members without paying for them
•
Workers (union and non-union) in right-to-work states make more than $5,000 a year less, on average, than in other states.
•
States without right-to-work laws have healthier tax bases, which leads to better government programs and educational systems
•
Because unions lead in the fight to ensure safety and health standards for all workers, laws that weaken unions also weaken these standards. The workplace death rate is 51 percent higher in right-to-work states
•
Without strong unions to fight for benefits for workers, right-to-work states have 21 percent more people without health insurance
•
The infant mortality rate in right-to-work states is 16 percent higher
•
Without strong unions to fight for better wages for all workers, the poverty rate in right-to-work states is 2.3 percent higher
•
Right-to-work states offer a maximum weekly worker compensation benefit $30 less than other states
•
Right-to-work laws disproportionately harm women. Union women, on average, earn $149 more per week than non-union women

AHH! MY BAD! That was from a lying cheating manipulating conservative site. I misread the stats... YOUKILLME, YOU ARE CORRECT.

why_think, those numbers are very deceiving. When you're making $6 an hour, $8.40 and hour becomes a 40% increase in personal income. When you're on the bottom, percentages look rosy with penny increases. The only reason to be against unions is to steal power and earnings away from people. The steady decline in unions corresponds with the steady decline in wages and in our general decline.

So the non union workers in right to work states make more then the unionized workers?

MadeinUSA......Have you been drinking? You posted the same post in this same comments section an hour or so ago......please scroll down to see my response.......

As of today there are 22 right-to-work states and 28 union-shop states. Over the past decade (2000-09) the right-to-work states grew faster in nearly every respect than their union-shop counterparts: 54.6% versus 41.1% in gross state product, 53.3% versus 40.6% in personal income, 11.9% versus 6.1% in population, and 4.1% versus -0.6% in payrolls.
.
This is NOT "forward" it is back-arse-wards

One more thing mouse, those cities I mentioned as well as Milwaukee are run by Democrats. Mayor Barrett is the mayor of decay. That video is a stunning example of why we
STAND WITH WALKER.

It's too cute that someone who dares to go by the handle "MadeinUSA" wants to boycott events sponsored by someone who had the testicles to build a fortune. Someone who actually worked their way through life and found extreme success. This corporation gives more money to the people of this area than they will ever give to any politician. you're just too blind to appreciate it.

The kai......I respectfully disagree.......That might have been their original intention, but they have evolved into organizations which cripple companies, rather than advancing them. The success of a company ultimately will depend on it's workforce. Take the companies Diane Hendricks owns for example. They are hugely successful, consistently win great workplace awards, employee retention is not an issue and people are lining up for an opportunity to work there. Not a union in sight........Successful companies will continue to be successful if their workforces are treated right, throwing an antiquated power structure like a union into the mix, will only hinder the companies that are doing it right. A company that treat their employees like they're worthless is bound to fail regardless of whether or not it is unionized......

This just keeps getting better! Come on, even you Repubs have got to see the downward spiral this criminal is on! I could watch this video over and over...ahh, nice comic material on a Friday!

Che, I've got all of my teeth, thank you very much, and they will be beaming brightly from my smile on June 5th when this crook gets shown the door!

This video with full transcripts should be spread far and wide to show the diabolical nature of Scott Walker and the people behind the Rock County 5.0. These people are not what they pretend to be and their duplicity should make all of us want to puke.

mouse, the nation is hurting. Is that Governor Walker fault? Pick any city USA.
You, my friend most get outside and look around. Read something to enhance the mind instead of soil it.

Suit yourself, Hoss.

gary.......That's the last thing I'm going to do....Many of us actually like what is being discussed:)

Happy2BAlive, Thank you for that video. It is a shining example of what Pres. Obama has done to Janesville, Detroit, Los Angeles, pick any city you want in the USA.
It's a good example of how the Democrats fled from their duties as elected representatives. How the teachers closed down the schools and kids education and how the 15% of this state want to dictate how much MORE money the 85% should shell out for them.
It's a great reminder that I pay for my healthcare. And a lot more percentage then they are still paying for theirs. At least the ones whose jobs were saved by Reforms.

This is a very good video to remind us why we STAND WITH WALKER.

Thank you!

http://asgoesjanesville.com/
Here's a 10 minutes preview of the documentary to be released in June 2012. This video has been years in the making and the clip doesn't tell the whole story - but this let's you decide things for yourself.

From the JS article linked above:
The entire conversation was not released Thursday with a video trailer of the documentary, but Journal Sentinel reporters were allowed to view the raw footage.

"So for us," the governor continues, "the base we get for that is the fact that we've got - budgetarily we can't afford not to. If we have collective bargaining agreements in place, there's no way not only the state but local governments can balance things out. . . . That opens the door once we do that. That's your bigger problem right there."

He goes on to talk about curbing liability lawsuits and government regulations.

http://vimeo.com/41579639

How does this prove or disprove anything?
Explaining a “divide and conquer” strategy? I see one 5 second statement with NO explanation.
Tom Barrett has made many statements as well for example to use Governor Walker reforms.

Gazette, you are above this type of rhetoric.

Just stick you fingers in your ears and shout "la la la la la la la" until the video ends.
See?
No problem.
And, you are welcome.

916WI,
Unions are supposed to thrive off of working with management to ensure fair compensation for fair work. I agree that unions have evolved to something less honorable, but I disagree that it means we should completely get rid of unions.

Did you know that in Germany unions are constitutionally protected? Yet Germany remains the fourth strongest economy in the world (after The United States, China, and Japan), and the most powerful economic engine in Europe.

I don't think unions are the problem. Corruption is the problem. And Scott Walker is far worse than our unions in that category.

MadeinUSA......Too funny! You're going to boycott a race car?? Really?? As far as the airshow is concerned, ABC Supply doesn't make a dime off of it. They sponsor it, as in donate to it, because no one else has stepped up to do so, to give the aviation fans in the community something to look forward to........So yeah, boycott it--You'll end up actually saving ABC money, money that could be directed to Governor Walker's campaign:)

Red....Can't speak for the others, but as I'm sure you know from my past posts, I am TOTALLY against the labor unions. Unions thrive off of creating a divide between management and labor--thrive off of creating an "us vs. them" mentality amongst those in their ranks........It's great that our governor is all for giving people the option whether or not they want to buy into that mindset.......Keep up the good work Governor Walker!!!:)

Love it or hate it when Diane Hendricks talks the governor listens. Nobody has been a bigger supporter and investor in Rock County than Hendricks. I feel better knowing we have somebody like her who will make sure the governor makes Rock County a priority. This video really is much to do with nothing. It is stunningly obvious why it came out right now during the recall election and represents only innocent banter.

I am always skeptical of any politically motivated recording that is so abruptly clipped off at one end or the other. Is there a (raw) version that isn't?

Wow, I'm so disillusioned. All this time I thought eliminating collective bargaining was ALL about the budget. This means our Republican governor LIED to us! I suppose next we'll find out Ms. Hendricks has donated tons of money to Walker. It all seems to have a certain bit of thug element to this. I mean a thug is defined as someone who treats others roughly, often for hire. Well I'm sure kaysbrew, RAF, 916, bebe and the gang will all agree that this behavior is unacceptable. We all know how much they dislike thuggery and special interest groups influencing our politicians.

Koch puppet and Koch wannabe...

Got it.
Thanks.

GP, my comment about the story being false is sarcasm.

It's class warfare and I don't have enough cash to be on their side. The greedy rich and the peasants.....

That was some "hello".
I thought he was going to tackle her. ;-)

The film is false?
Please explain.

Awesome!

I'm shocked the Gazette did not write this up as a new economic development feature of the Rock County 5.0. But I do enjoy how they "out" the film maker. It changes the entire dynamics of the story and obviously makes it false.

"Liberal media" LOL
