dtp" Lets see your the proof of you claims! At least I posted links to support what I said!
mouse: Who is the run stuck going in circles? Oh that's right, it's YOU! I never claimed that I ever went the wrong way in roundabout! As usual you get the actual facts wrong! Go back to school mouse and TRY to learn something FACTUAL!!! Oh yea study up on your spelling also, as it is atrocious!

Or... has he?

johnny, do some real research and get YOUR facts straight. Walker's claim doesn't jive with the timeline of the investigation.

Tetons....You need to calm down--embrace the change:)
Absolutely no issue with sleeping. I have never blamed someone else for Walker's lies--I just operate under the assumption that when a politician(either democrat or republican) is pandering to an audience, he/she will tell that audience exactly what they want to hear. Whether it's Walker telling Hendricks that he is going to take on the unions or Obama telling his union base at the GM Janesville plant that they will be building cars there for another 100 years. I pay no attention to that and look at what agendas they are using their influence to support and the legislation resulting from those agendas. In the case of Walker, he has reigned in the public worker's unions, pushed concealed carry and voter id legislation, reducing spending on entitlement programs and, for the most part, kept tax increases to a minimum........I support all of these things, therefore it is really easy for me to not lose any sleep supporting Walker........Hopefully that answers your question.

liverpool: It was Walker who requested the start of the john doe investigation. You need to get YOUR facts straight! http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepoliti...

Fedup

You’re a joke, you demand a full investigation into Barrett? But you feel walker shouldn't have to release why her he HAD to setup a defense fund? walker's staffers have already been charged and convicted. Why isn't walker releasing the whys? What's he hiding? Why would you support someone who is under investigation? Why would you vote for a person who lies under oath? Why does walker have to leave the state begging for funds? Is he seeking out more cash machines like koch bros and hendricks? He’s trying to buy the election. Why would you vote for walker?

Don't forget to vote June 5th,
RECALL WALKER

Libbies keep asking the question if he is innocent why is he hiring lawyers. Well, if you were under any kind of investigation wouldn't you hire a lawyer? I think anyone would. And two years? If it is taking the DA two years to find anything, get real! How good can the DA be? And wondering where the leaks are coming from? The chief investigator's wife works for Barrett's brother, who is Chief of Clerks. Hmmmm.

Wow. I understand now, it only matters if the lie is from the other side of the isle...I get it now. Hillarious.

Yeah, two non-issue statements by non-elected Zielinski are all important, but over a dozen WHOPPERS by the current governor of Wisconsin? Eh, he did what he said he was going to do? What did he do? Fulfill the lies? LOL

Today's obsurd leftist remark, "CWD is what you get from game farms, but that's exactly what this individual want's to turn WI into"
-
Truth is CWD was first discovered in a RESEARCH facility in the state of Colorado during the 1960's. It has since spread to wild and game farms. The facts are NEVER what the left fringe want to deal with.

916WI and Wiselady

You have trouble sleeping knowing that our so called governor is caught once again in another lie and you support this so called man. This is the poorest excuse for a man I've ever seen. It's funny how you always seem to blame someone else for walker’s lies. You listen to walker and believe every word that comes out of his mouth. There has been report after report about job loss in Wisconsin by different state & federal agencies. You don't believe any of them, but walker opens his mouth and you believe him. Where's the facts that show he's done anything that is good for the citizens and students of Wisconsin.
RECALL WALKER

This is the right wing extremism you get with the likes of Walker. CWD is what you get from game farms, but that's exactly what this individual want's to turn WI into.

Pertinent article on the conservative activist SCOTUS judges and a reflection of the direction people like Scott Walker want to take America.
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/...

Awww wislady, you got me again. I went right to the brietbart cesspool and sure enough, I found you there hanging out again as the cesspool queen. I have to be more careful with the links I click on.

Wislady, are you trying to draw an equivalency of owed public trust between the words of union members in another state with the words of a sitting governor of a state? Walker should given a pass based on that? Seriously?

Trying to tie the questioning in Congress to something said on a video of Walker and Hendricks is asinine. "Divide and Conquer"...is that worse than this:

New Tone: Union Rally Speaker Tells Scott Walker 'We Cut Your Head Off'

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/...

Issa took care of it, huh? In the Republican world, only the powerful ruling class has any rights. That is the direction this subversive party is taking the nation as they claim patriotism and liberty. Patriotism to them is to take everyone else's rights away as they see fit. And they are proud of it.

Nixon Junior, OH! I mean Walker will pay his dues, too. It's just a matter of time.

What's lying while under oath mean to a republican? Nothing. Issa is a fraud and charlatan himself. His google search reads like a criminal rap sheet.

Todays WSJ has an article"Democrats' Wisconsin Worry". The senate dems , the DNC and Obama campaigns were dead set agaist this recall. They said it was a bad, bad idea. It was pushed thru by the Unions anyway. Now they fear a loss. You get what you deserve.

Stubbs....here you go....just democrats grandstanding. Issa took care of it......
http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-congres...

Tetons - link?

Tetons....not congress--just the house democrats want an explanation....does it really surprise anyone that the party bought by the unions would take issue with this? Luckily, the republican chairman of the committee is a little more levelheaded:)

Barrett Donors' No Bid Contract Under Scrutiny, Press Ignores Ties to Barrett

"The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has an interesting story today about accusations of bid-rigging for City of Milwaukee contracts.

Two metal recycling firms have accused the City of Milwaukee of illegally shutting them out of bidding for contracts to remove and process abandoned vehicles, work they say has gone exclusively to a third company under illegal contracts."

http://www.maciverinstitute.com/2012/05/...

So walker has been caught again-- Congress wants to talk to walker about his April 14th, 2011 testimony under oath. The videotape with diane henrichs conflicts with what he said under oath. Just like his job numbers contradicts with reality.
Even if you are a republician how can you vote for some one that is so dishonest? walker can be found in the rich pockets of the corporate thugs.
RECALL WALKER!

"Gazette has nothing to report, prints story just to stir up the coals"

4bears...Huh? All that has gone wrong? Walker and those that support him in the legislature have pushed through legislation that the Republicans have been asking for, but have always been denied, for years. Limitations on union influence, concealed carry, voter id, etc......and now you ridicule his supporters for continuing to support him when he has done everything we have asked him to do? Have you suffered a head injury recently??

LISTEN: do you hear the footsteps of the silent majority? LISTEN

One day closer to recalling the worst guv'na in U.S. History. ONE DAY CLOSER!

Koch Bros, I have to hand it to you. You have done quite a number on this state. Honestly, did you ever think that after all that has gone wrong, and all the indictments, arrests, etc. that the sheep would still follow? It has to be worth every penny.
"Thanks a million"

Desparate? Yes, trying to keep Walker from turning our beloved state of Wisconsin into Alabama.

it all trickles down from the top, No negotiations, no compromise and divide and conquer. That's our leader. What's not to like?

Reading some of these entries about the political atmosphere in wisconsin is quite pitiful. Is there any better reason why any new business or person who wants to open a business would want to go to another state ?

Last week I had a retired teacher and former union rep almost convince me to vote for Walker. Not by his words but his actions unfortunately.

Never mind Walker's closest associates setting up a campaign contribution network in in his county offices on tax money, that's all innuendo, go after those investigators and prosecutors for putting blue fist signs in their windows. They're the guilty ones. ;^)

Jim Morrison was right.

Glad you could "fix" your link, mouse. Unfortunately, the residents of Mexico can not vote on June 5th.

Mayor Barrett apparently wants Governor Walker to prove he didn't commit crimes he hasn't even been charged with. And if those emails the Mayor wants show nothing, does anyone really believe that would satisfy the Mayor and his frantic supporters? For a clue, just look at all the frenetic partisans on this board who are calling the Governor a crook. Innuendo is all they need to render a guilty verdict concerning this Governor. They want retribution, and if they don't have anything real to point to, they'll make something up.

The Governor's right. The Democrats are getting desperate. There's no reason to aid them with their witch hunt.

Mouse
I think you have become unhinged...that link goes nowhere, just like your comments.

Well that didn't take long! Dan Bice already has his defense article on the lead investigator story concerning the anti Walker signs.
Got to had it to Bice....he has the inside scoop.

By the way, Walker could set the record straight on that, but he refuses to. That is why Barrett and the people of Wisconsin have to keep pushing him on the issue.

Barrett knows no one associated with the John Doe can talk about it...not prosecutors, not those who received immunity, not those who have been prosecuted, and not those who have been interviewed. Plain and simple, Walker CAN'T talk about the investigation.

Walker did not request the investigation. Tom Nardelli requested the investigation into the missing veteran's funds and during that investigation the corruption was discovered. Get your facts/lies straight.

How is that unbiased John Doe (that Walker requested) going?

Chief Investigator in John Doe Has Recall Walker Sign in Yard, Blue Fist Union Icon in Window

http://mediatrackers.org/2012/05/21/chie...

Maybe the "leaks" have been coming from Barrett himself. Is it true that the wife of the chief investigator works for John Barrett, who happens to be the clerk of courts in Milwaukee? John Barrett is the brother of Tom Barrett.

Tom Barrett, of all people (himself an attorney) should know that John Doe investigations can not be discussed while it is ongoing. The plot thickens.

It certainly appears that the time has come to end the "investigation", or, the AG needs to intervene and find out what is going on. Sounds like another John Doe is in order.

Barrett must be desperate, it's not like anyone involved with his administration has been convicted of anything or charged with...... never mind.

liverpool: And the liberals a pros at deflecting!

Wislady, I won't dispute those voters as not being Wisconsin. I dispute that more than half of Walker's millions are coming from outside interests. What are they buying? And that Walker's values and interests are not Wisconsin based on his lies and "divide and conquer" steategy. I could be wrong, Wisconsin might be okay with a class war divider and conniving liar for Governor. We'll see in June.

Only Scott "I am not a crook" Walker could spin a criminal investigation into he and his staff into a "desperate attack". The people of Wisconsin deserve to know the truth. Unfortunately all we are getting is deflection.

youkillme

"Wisconsin based families, communities and organizations"....are represented by the 626,962 votes caste WALKER in the primary election.

Youkillme......Sorry--didn't mean to come off as killing the messenger. Simply pointing out how completely biased and left leaning the WDC is. People should be made aware of this before giving their "research" any credibility........

916WI, I'm not the one dissing the story without presenting any facts, you are. And the best you can do is kill the messenger?

Wislady, the campaign to rid our state of the Walker plague is Wisconsin based. Wisconsin based families, communities and organizations are fighting for their lives against walker and his out-of-state special interests. Your tools here have commented the fact the national DNC has not given much to Barrett's campaign - so which is it? Again, if you can't come up with some inkling of truth that the statements and figures from the WDC are incorrect, wht you write here is then a pure political stunt.

saxcat

I would like to know what walker has done so far that was good for the State of Wisconsin.

RECALL WANKER WALKER

NamelessSpectator said, "Guess i am just old fashioned trying to vote for the best option rather than a blind draw."

It's good to know you've decided to vote for Barrett, even if you are old-fashioned.

916WI said, "We all know where walker is getting his cash."

No we don't.

youkillme

SEIU, AFL-CIO, WEAC....none are "grassroots.

Your "source" is the report done by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign (another Soros funded group). Nice try, not providing the link to the article but just to the main site, typical.

I have been trying to get answers to a couple questions from Barrett's campaign through his website and cannot get any answers. What is Barrett's plan aside from not being Walker? I know many people are voting on emotion but I want to know what I am voting for and those answers are missing. Guess i am just old fashioned trying to vote for the best option rather than a blind draw.

Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker!!!
************************************************************************
MOVING THE GREAT STATE OF WISCONSIN "FORWARD"

FINALLY; FORWARD ------->
*********************************************************

We all know where walker is getting his cash. Take a look at how the WDC pays for it's unbiased, impartial research........Too funny:)

http://mediatrackers.org/2012/03/23/wisc...

From the Washington Post:

Democrats are dreading a Wisconsin wipeout:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/righ...

cynical......Take a look at video of the hearing. Walker was only asked about two specific provisions of his collective bargaining legislation. It would be laughable to say that pulling collective bargaining as a whole from the unions control wouldn't save the school districts money.......It absolutely would. Why do you think the unions had fought so hard to retain control of it?

I wonder why Tom Barrett says "If elected I will look at restoring collective bargaining", instead of, "If elected, I will restore collective bargaining". Makes me wonder what is up with that? I'm leery of whoever wins, that this will be the answer to creating jobs, making taxes equal among the rich and poor, and doing more for Wisconsin then Obama has done for the United States.

Oh, and:

The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign is out with a new report detailing state budget policies that will benefit business, construction, real estate, transportation and other special interests at a cost to middle- and lower-income taxpayers.

Dubbed “Special Interest Smorgasbord,” the report identifies 55 state budget proposals and legislative bills approved by the GOP Legislature and signed by Gov. Scott Walker.

The new policies will cost the state $334.5 million, mainly in lost tax revenue, beginning in 2013. The amount will rise to $438.9 million by 2021, according to the report.

On Wednesday, the cover story in The Capital Times will look at one of the biggest tax cuts for business -- a $130 million credit that effectively eliminates state income taxes for factory owners but not workers.

So I hope all you Tea Baggers and Walker supporters are factory owners and the 1%.

Youkillme......I'm guessing all of them......do you have an unbiased source that confirms the findings of the WDC as true? Feel free.

I love how all you Walker supports ignore the truth. Walker stated before a congressional hearing that eliminating collective bargaining rights HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BUDGET. He did it because his wealth backers, like Diane Hendricks, want to get rid of all unions. Walker is one of the most despicable politicians in the country, right after Paul Ryan and his cronies in Congress. They hate America, they hate it that people can stand up to corporate theft and abuse of workers.

Youkillme....Your statement, "this will send a message once and for all that the people of Wisconsin are no longer in control of their own state" makes no sense. What it does mean that the liberals are no longer in control of the state. There are actually some of us--a majority according to many polls--that think WI is on the right path. Are we happy with corporate welfare that isn't directly tied to job creation/expansion? No.....but that pales in comparison to our unhappiness when considering the massive amount of government spending when public workers unions and entitlement programs are concerned. Evidence of this is right in this section with posts condemning taxpayers for not welcoming "just another $200" in property taxes to fund an already overblown public sector payroll. We're already in the top 10 in the country as far as property taxes are concerned--"just another $200" there or "just another $100" here--is the answer these people have for resolving the problem. It is an overreach and has a lot to do why the state put the current government in place. I will be voting for Governor Walker.......

If there's nothing going on then why not appease Barrett and make him look a fool? . Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain folks...and his criminal defense attorneys.

916WI, do you know which figures or statements in hoops comment are false? Feel free.

hoops....Please take any "analysis" that the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign does with a grain of salt. Sheesh.....the anti-Walker crown has a fit whenever Fox News is cited as a source, but then have no issue throwing reports out there with "research" conducted by blatantly slanted groups like the WDC........

As is normal in politics - when in trouble, say your opponent is in trouble. Then hope some "sheep" out there are dumb enough to listen and vote for a "winner". All these millions of dollars being spent are not influencing 96% of the electorate - who are pretty much evenly split.

I agree with the previous post - let's throw them all out and start fresh.

Backwards Barret will soon be known as Backfire Barret as his mudslinging ads will backfire on his pathetic ploy of trying to be Governor!

Here is excerpts from report Madison.com that states how the governor's plans are going to work out for us:

"the report identifies 55 state budget proposals and legislative bills approved by the GOP Legislature and signed by Gov. Scott Walker.The new policies will cost the state $334.5 million, mainly in lost tax revenue, beginning in 2013. The amount will rise to $438.9 million by 2021, according to the report."

One of the bills - "a $130 million credit that effectively eliminates state income taxes for factory owners but not workers."

"According to the WDC analysis, those tax breaks and other credits will cost a Wisconsin family of four $235 beginning July 1, 2012, and grow to $291 annually by 2021."

"Meanwhile, groups benefiting from the new policies contributed $23.6 million in campaign contributions to various legislators, mostly to Walker and other Republicans, from 2009 through 2011."

-Sounds painful for the middle class again and more breaks for millionaires -- a little like legalized bribery...

This is a Wisconsin grassroots peoples fight against out-of-state interests, billionaires and the national republican party. Personally, I would rather the national DNC and national unions stay out of it as much as possible, but I know it is foolish to unilaterally disarm. If big money outside interest puppet Walker wins again, this will send a message once and for all that the people of Wisconsin are no longer in control of their own state. The rest of the country will likely fall into a full-metal jacketed corporate plutocracy.

Desperate attack siting a "secret" not so secret probe that has come up empty against Governor Walker. Time is running out on their fake state wide anger. The unions and special interests and outside organizations are finished in Wisconsin in 2 weeks. The DNC is the only cool headed group to keep the money for November.

I just have to think this is deliberate private entertainment on Walker's part. He has to spend time debating what comment to make next that will inflame the libs and send them off to the blogs with deep purple enraged faces.

His "secret internets" vs Madame Barrett campaigning for her hubby while in the public trough - there isn't any ethical difference between the parties. Walker will get my vote for signing the concealed carry bill, stopping the Democratic party fund raiding by his predecessor, and tightening the screws on the Democratic party's political gains by sector bribing.

If only we could get Timothy "Del Shannon" Cullen out of office.

The funny thing is its not like democrats have the gumption to stand up for their convictions as Obama made sure the Bush tax cuts were extended. Democrats and Republicans serve the same corporate masters and we sit on here and fight over which masters we want to serve? Fighting over table scraps while our men and women, sons and daughters, die in unbelievably unnecessary war. While we are defunding education in favor of more and more tax cuts for the wealthiest, cutting essential social problems to the bare minimums while people who are very wealthy get more and more tax cuts!! Defending a health care system that leaves millions of Americans uncovered potentially to not go to the doctor and get treatment for fear of large bills, set up to have crises medically that in the end will drive up rates for everyone else, a very ingenius business model, but very bad for the people that both dont pay for care and for those that do. In the end its the largest bankruptcy problem in the USA.

This country is going to heck in a handbasket, and its all the politicians faults, for a litany of reasons. The funniest parts are that so many of us are responsible for the problems for being lazy and buying the garbage they sell and allowing them to steal a once great nation.

Barretts wife sent 3 emails from her school account, and that is somehow comparable to all of the felonies commited? Nice comparison.
Fedup you do a great job at parroting commercials , showing people what money can buy, your brain and millions of zombies just like you.
Barretts plan? I think he is actually being smart by saying that the policies of the governor arent that easy to just reverse. He has stated that his priority will be to reinstate education funding. That is all I need to hear. Maybe close the do-noting tax breaks trhat the governor seemed to think was going to help him create 10,000 new businesses and 250k New jobs, whoops, epic fail.
At some point cut, cut , cut mentality mixed with corporate tax breaks are not a good recipe for the future of the state. I see another thread with republicans whining about the roads here in Janesville. , whining about safety, many more pissing and moaning about education and schools. What does anyone expect? The same groups of people are asking, infact begging for tax cuts at every turn, but cant wonder why they dont have enough police, the roads suck, and tne schools ,while still producing, are on the downturn(example , lack of district support of high needs kids and behavioral issues all over the district)? Unbelievably hypocritical! But hey Dont take my money for beer and cigarettes! As long as I can save an extra 200 bucks a year on taxes and 66%+ of the businesses dont have to contribute any taxes, we are ok. My answer to the complainers, if you buy riught wing rhetoric about lowwering taxes on the "job creators" and vote based on that crap? Look around, weve had 10+ years of those tax cuts, 2 wars puyt on the credit cared(borrowed from China during Bush years.) and how is the state of the economy?

Scott Walker had a secret wireless Internet system installed near his office and Barrett is to blame. LOL. Everyone knows that if you dig anywhere into Walker's past and communications, you'll come up with a dirty ball of grease and snot. Scott Walker and his whining desperate supporters will do anything to hide the truth and their criminal activities. Get him out of office before the FBI drags him in handcuffs. Wisconsin doesn't need that kind of publicity.

I think this is all F*****d Up... Get rid of ALL of them and let 2 new people run.. people with no affiliations with Unions, teachers, Public workers, and Of course REPUBLICAN and DEMOCRATIC parties

Tommy wants to compare notes with his wife to see how to best use government assets for campaigning. She proved to be pretty good at it during her tenure at MPS. Too bad Scott's too nice to bring it up and The Journal-Sentinel too biased to discuss it.

'He says Barrett's campaign is "desperate" and trying to distract from other issues in the campaign.'

Au contraire, mon ami. This IS a critical issue. Walker would like to make people think it is a distraction. He'd also like to make the John Doe investigators think it is a distraction. Good luck with both of those.

How much detail would you like included in that plan, Saxcat? Would you like it all, or will the "Scott Walker Special" suffice? You know how that one goes -- say one thing to get elected, but conveniently leave out all the damaging and controversial maneuvers?

Exactly SAXCAT, Barrett continues to cast stones, yet has offered no comprehensive and SUSTAINABLE plan himself. Interesting how the national Democratic committee (DNC) doesn't support Barrett nor the recall effort, and actually advised against it. The unions weren't excited about Barrett and only threw their support behind him at the last minute due to no other choice.

Still waiting for Mr Barrett's plan. I've liked what Governor walker has done so far, and will vote for him in June unless I see a better plan.

I guess Tom will have to... excuse the pun.."Grin and Barrett".

This is called projection, when you are the desperate one calling some one else desperate.

Funny how desperate the dems are getting! Also funny how they never mention the Chief investigators shinannigans in the john doe investigation!
