Can't we all just get along

*How many people voted for Barrett's wife? Yup, thought so. Nothing to see here folks, move along.....*

That's not the issue here. I see reading comprehension wasn't a focus at your public school full of unionized teachers.

Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......Imagine that!!

How many more teachers have done this?

10%, 25%, 50%, 75%?

My guess: 90+%

John doe AKA Scott Walker did way more then this and has not been held accountable. Wow 3 emails OMG send her to a maximum facility in silidary confinement. ( sarcasm) Conservative lol are the ones digging and grasping at straws.

you called that one sandman, 3 emails? wow.... that's all they can dig up? Scooter had his own flippin' network run by workers on the taxpayer dime 20 feet outside his office! I need more koolaid!

New dem. Qqq poll out tonite walker 50 berat 45. :). When did you feel it slippin losers?

L"She turned me into a NEWT! (I got better.)"
- Python, Monty (and the Holy Grail)

Our ol' pal Scotty and his sidekick Lil' Diane will stop at nothing (to ferret out "truthiness"), huh? Now let's open up the Gazette staff emails and internet usage records see what we can dig up! Oh boy, oh boy!

She should be fired with no salary or benefits. Barrett should be brought before a judge.

@theRAFinator- Hilarious post.

"Barrett's wife accused of email violations"

WHO CARES??

@feduptaxerpayer- regarding your post to guzler at 3:45PM " If that were true, that would make me a parasite that lived off entitlements. So Therefore I Would Be Against Walker."
I actually know a staunch Walker supporter and Right Wing Tea Partier who has lived her life using food stamps and assistance from Rock County. She thinks he's the greatest thing around. She is cognitively disabled so I understand her need for assistance and her ability to form rational opinions. ???? What is your excuse?

Like I said in my earlier pose we know who John Doe we all know its Walker. What is the investigation waiting for put all the evidence on the table let us see it and judge for ourselves if Walker committed a crime or not. Is that what this John Doe investigation really about? Why does this investigation have to be so secret people will figure out what is going on.

Honorfirst -- Good points and I agree that we are all in for a long painful journey. I'm not surprised about the lack of comments. Talking about solutions is boring when it's so easy to pick fights.

How many people voted for Barrett's wife? Yup, thought so. Nothing to see here folks, move along.....

Love how all you whiny liberals think this is no big deal. If this was Gov. Walker's wife, you would be protesting in the streets. What a joke!

BunBun,
Please examine my argument more carefully. If you still think my argument is invalid, please be more specific about your discrepancies so I may address them directly. I normally consider myself an educated person, and while I would never want to project the impression that I know everything, I do believe I have sufficient knowledge of why the 3/5 law was made.

*I think it's telling that both Tom Barrett and his wife took time out of their lives and had the discipline to get college degrees and become professionals*

And yet, they can't be bothered to read and/or follow simple written instructions. Amazing.

Fedup- I don't think you should be fed up about paying taxes. Looks like all the time you have on your hands to post worthless crap you don't pay taxes. Looks to me that your sucking off of real tax payers such as myself and collecting unemployment. Scotty says we are creating so many jobs. Go out and find one and quit being a worthless scrub and sucking off the real taxpayers.

ABC supply company paid no state income taxes for 2005,2006,2007,2008,feduptaxpayer doesn't always get a raise so state taxable income doesn't go up, lightkeeper gets a raise every year state taxable income goes up, boy I'am getting tired of carrying you slackers!

thekai asked, "I am still wondering where the rational RAF has gone."

He's out looking for lemmings, trolls, sock puppets and red herrings. Early this morning he said, "I Looked and couldn't find any..."

please reasearch the reason for counting slaves as 3/5 of a person before you use it as an argument.

RAF,
I'm not sure equality is very subjective. It seems pretty straight forward to me. In fact, it's a mathematical principle. I suppose you do have some supporters, though. While our founding fathers argued that all men are created equal, some people still argued that some men are only 3/5 of a person. I don't advise adopting that argument, though. At the end of the day, the latter turned out to be wrong.

I am still wondering where the rational RAF has gone.

mouse give it, up the main thing corrupt with you is your twisted little brain. Come back when you have something intelligent to say. From all if your posts that you have left so far, that should be....................NEVER! At least i have posted facts with links to back them up and I am not talking about links to blogs which seems to be the only links that you like to post. You have been put into your place by so many people yet you never seem to realize it. How lonely you must feel living such a small dark life. I almost feel sorry for you. Notice I said almost. Try reading something factual once in awhile instead of all of the fiction that you seem to function on. You just might learn something useful!

@creatureinthefreezer: I would like to ask two questions. Is there any hope of Wisconsinites accepting the outcome of the recall election and coming together for the good of the state? If not, then what catastrophic event, or leader will both sides rally behind to stop the madness?

I think you just hit on the million dollar question! Regardless of the outcome of the recall, the opposing side will not support the winner of the recall. The name calling, the accusations, the slanderous remarks, the refusal to give credit where credit is due, the unwillingness to compromise will continue and I suspect will get worse. We, as a society just keep digging a deeper hole for ourselves, we refuse to drop the shovel and find a way out of the pit.
The pro-education forces are fighting for more money, the unions want their members and power back, the people want their taxes kept in check, the businesses want more money/less restrictions to attract investors, the Federal government is fighting the State government, Democrats are fighting Republicans, neighbor hating neighbor, States are fighting against other States and still, we refuse to drop the shovel! Each side is so filled with hatred of the other side that they refuse to do anything that they see as a compromise. Who are the losers? We all are. Every year we see a more polarized state/country. Some see the problems and know what the solutions could be, but our ELECTED OFFICIALS and CITIZENS of BOTH parties refuse to compromise. And yet, we continue to fan the fire of hatred as is shown on these blogs…

mouse: When are you going to crawl out of your little hole and see the light? Oh wait I forgot you got lost crawling into Barrets Failed Deep Tunnel Project.

I really can't believe that any person, from either side of the aisle, could rationally compare a wife sending 3 politically related emails on a work computer to setting up an entire shadow computer network and compelling employees to use that to secretively skirt campaign laws. It is like pointing at grandma going 26MPH in a 25 MPH zone and comparing it to a drunk doing 90 on the same street. Yes - they are both technically violations, but which one should get the cop's attention?

I didn't think the blog could crawl out of the gutter. Reading most of the posts makes a person feel like taking a shower to wash off the scum.

Typical lib, hide behind another fake name. Why not just post under your other account fake koch_bros? Are you sick of getting all your other posts debunked that has led you to the sad path you are on?

@hdonlybob- You win my award as the most rational poster this week. Congrats!

You gotta be kidding me....
I am a Walker supporter, but this is the kind of crap that makes me sick about politics...
So she violated a stupid email law at work...
How many of you meat heads complaining about this rolled thru a stop sign in the last year, or farted in Church...
Just what has this to do with her Husbands capabilities to run for Governor....
And the the Gazette, you should be ashamed of yourself for publishing this article....
Oh gosh, I think I just dripped a bit in my underwear....better go wash them before anyone finds out, or I can never run for any office...geesh.....as in SARCASM....

youkill me says "It's not politics as usual. There's no comparison between close aides of an elected official sending political campaign and fundraising emails from that officials offices and a email infraction between a school district and an employee. It's apples and oranges - loons".
You're right on one aspect you. It's worse because this involves Barrets wife! We already know that we can't trust Barret now this proves that his wife can't be trusted and as a public employee (school teacher) she proved that she can't be trusted and is unethical!
http://mediatrackers.org/2012/05/14/excl...
As for you clowns crying about Walkers so called war on women, where is your crying and complaining about Barrets war on women???
http://mediatrackers.org/2012/04/30/mayo...
Barret can't run Milwaukee and you clowns want him to take us backwards???????

I would like to ask two questions. Is there any hope of Wisconsinites accepting the outcome of the recall election and coming together for the good of the state? If not, then what catastrophic event, or leader will both sides rally behind to stop the madness?

Where is John Doe ?

What's more relevant is when they were sent. If it was after working hours, then there should be no problem with it.

anyone with any information please call 608

Has anyone heard any details of what the candidates are offering the constituents post election? wouldn't that be utopia.

TO TELL THE TRUTH - First off, thank you for being polite with your comments. I do disagree with what you are saying. I use to vote for the best candidate - Repub. or Dem. - Now I see a man that is lacking in honesty and integrity as governor. So I find the extreme Walker agenda is hurting people and direction of Repub. is shameful. The "DIVIDE & CONQUER" comment that Walker recently made is showing me I cannot trust him. He tells one group of people what they want to hear and the rest something else. This has been documented and my statement is 100% true. Thank you for your thoughts though.

How else would she communicate with her husband? Tom speaks in alien...

Almost forgot - More important to know and should be part of this article is the $800 million plus that Walker took from education is hurting the education of our students.
http://www.wisconsinsfuture.org/index.ht...

Since everyone is pointing fingers over 3 emails...Who was the idiot governor that took $800 million from education and caused the MANY teachers to be terminated. ALSO_-> I read an interesting article on Diane Hendricks - who Forbes magazine said is worth $2.8 Billion. So the Company s doing well, but the article points out that(it did not have figures for recent years.)ABC paid NO State Corporate Income Tax in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2007 - the income tax return filed said the company did not make "a penny in taxable profit" - I wish my little company could do that well.Read the info below...

I think it's telling that both Tom Barrett and his wife took time out of their lives and had the discipline to get college degrees and become professionals. That always says something. How about the two on the other "team"- Walker and his wife. Did they take the time, spend the money, and have the discipline to obtain a degree? Let's focus on that.

When the hell will they admit their after Walker? Why wait why they don’t just charge him instead of waiting like this. See in my opinion it’s either Walker committed a crime or he did not I mean come on we all know John Doe target is really Walker why else would Walker set up a defense fund like Walker did.

Ain't witch hunts great? Funny how its the end of the Republic as we know it when one side does it. I'm sure that all those who were so upset over the issues with Walker supporters will be marching around Kris Barrett's families properties in Beloit yelling "SHAME" at relatives, small children etc. since that has become the new standard.

And Paul Harvey used to say, "Stand-by for news!"

thekai they are both subjective. Why don't you just say what you think?

Perhaps the Walker campaign should hire her, they could probably teach her a few more tricks.

RAF,
Would you feel better if I used the word equality, instead of fairness?

thekai stated "You are building quite the reputation of being blind to fairness,"
-
?? Fairness? How exactly is a person blind to a subject term that means different things to different people? If you have more to add please do.

Says the person echoing every bad rumor and "news" piece about walker...lol

I watched the new Capitol roundtable TV show on WKOW on Sunday, and there was a Capitol reporter from the State Urinal I mean Journal there and he mad a great comment. "Politics is no longer about facts, its about picking a team and hoping they'll win."" One of the most spot on comments I have ever heard!! Facts mean nothing anymore. Scott Walker and his people can tell you they are reworking the jobs numbers and you believe them, they tell you that there is now a magical budget surplus, and you believe them! Facts are irrelavant, its about belonging to a club and cheerleading, very sad state of affairs indeed. Never thought Id see the day when Wisconsin was dumbed down like the southern states are, now we are truly headed towards our new name, Wississippi.

Best post to me on this?
""LISTEN: when this is. All over will the losers apologize? If I am on the losing side I certainly will. Let's get back to some sanity in our elections. Get along people. Nite""

Losing side? Unfortunately because our politics have become a cheerleading sport we ALL lose no matter who wins. Anyone who thinks Scott Walker gives a raisin in a rats behind about middle class families in Wisconsin is on somethin, the same could be said about Barrett. Theyre all losers, because of that were all losers arguing over table scraps people, table scraps.

RAF,
You are building quite the reputation of being blind to fairness, aren't you? Then again, you've never claimed to be consistent in your criticisms of anything.

Nothing to see here, wrong political party affiliation.

lierre04, you mean the way Scott Walker got all family members of his campaign contributors and close personal associates jobs in state government? is that your measure of job creation?

Uh-oh. F'edup is here. He should know plenty about orange jumpsuits, large ball-shaped red noses, size 24 shoes and flaming blue hair.

If the mayor can't make sure his own wife stays employed, how is he supposed to help Wisconsin get and keep more jobs? Not being snarky, just curious.

One side blaming the other is politics as usual. But there's no blame here. There's no equivalency either. A far right-wing group targets Barrett's wife and is making accusations. I don't see blame here. I see a smear campaign.

youkillme - it is politics as usual. One side blaming the other side for petty little "issues". It happens constantly.

This is the best you've got, isn't it, righties? Wow. If you weren't so hateful, one might pity you all.

youkillme....shame on you for pointing this out. If we cannot somehow create a moral equivalency on this, we are nothing. Us right wing uneducated high school dropout geniuses like me, feduptaxplayer and wislady need this win somehow so quit using your logic on us. Especially if others can read it. It hurts our cause. Oh, I forgot to add that it unconstitutional for you to do this to us, so THERE!!!

I'd also want to know the content of all the other emails from school employees sent out at that time. I'd bet many contained the same content. So, did media trackers single out Ms Barrett's emails because she is a woman or because she the wife of Tom Barrett. Why does media trackers hate women?

This is about as relevant as if she passed gas....who cares? Technically any email to her husband could be classified as "political" because of who he is... Gimme a break.
Walkers still going to win anyway.

None of the emails sent by the school employee were contributions, financial resources or "donated services," nor do any of the emails contain attachments of political or campaign materials. Not one. So, these emails were simple personally typed notes of opinion. Ms Barrett should contest those accusations. No reason to have a secret email box, there was nothing to hide. The coke-wired reactionaries at media trackers are looking for dirt on Barrett and this is the best they got? Walker's tools are looking stupider every day.

liverpool, apparently she is too stupid to set up a secret email account.

It's not politics as usual. There's no comparison between close aides of an elected official sending political campaign and fundraising emails from that officials offices and a email infraction between a school district and an employee. It's apples and oranges - loons.

How predictable - if this was Walker's wife, the lefties would be throwing a fit. It's Barrett's wife so the righties are throwing a fit. Politics as usual.

Drunk blogging is fun. LISTEN: when this is. All over will the losers apologize? If I am on the losing side I certainly will. Let's get back to some sanity in our elections. Get along people. Nite

Isn't it fun to watch the liberals move the goalposts?

All of the nonchalance is amusing here. If this was Walker's wife, people would be calling down the wrath of God for the sins of the Republicans. Don't lie, you know you would be. When the issue is turned however, Barret supporters act exactly like they claim the Walker supporters act when similar news occurs.

Wow - 3 whole emails.

Walkers actions, policies and his own words are the best thing to justify the recall. He will not get a second vote from me. I was wrong. This man could care less about Wisconsin. He cares about only one job and that's his.

Feduptaxpayer, not that the distinction will mean anything to you, but as the school district said, sending of the three e-mails violated school district policy. That doesn't make the person a criminal.

Scott Walker is the only governor in the country with a criminal defense fund, wants to divide and conquer the state and is a serial liar.

The sad thing is...all you Walker haters will vote Barrett in just because everyone hates Walker now. Have you stopped and realized Barrett lost 3 times for a reason??? When you are in charge you have to constantly make unpopular decisions

How ironic that Mrs. Barrett was one of the laid off MPS teachers whose union basically
said, "Sorry you're expendable".
Nothing to do with his current campaign? So that makes it OK? Were Walkers aides working on his current campaign? The lefties would going nuts if this was Walkers wife (sorry, nuttier)

wislady-Wanker's office ladies violated the law by campaigning on County time. Barrett's wife may have violated work rules, but did not violate any laws.

More proof this happens on both sides constantly, John doe is a joke and circus almost on a par with the recall as whole. 24 months of investigating and what do they have nothing they wouldnt have of any administration. Starting to look like the whitewater investigation of Clinton. As far as barretts wife, big deal, not surprised and who cares.

If she had set up a secret email system to avoid being detected we may have a story.

She needs to be criminally charged, just as Darlene Wink was. Wink was commenting on some blogs, Kris Barrett was asking people to vote against Act 10.

"On Monday February 14, 2011, Kris Barrett emailed Democrat State Senator Spencer Coggs and Democrat Rep. Tamara Grigsby to encourage them to vote against Governor Walker’s Budget Repair Bill. The title of the email was “a teacher’s voice” and Ms. Barrett decried that “we are all under attack.”

http://mediatrackers.org/2012/05/14/excl...

Compare this story to all of Walker's aides? Give me a break....

yawn
