Hate to tell you…You have Illinois to the south (they voted in Rham) Minnesota to the west (they voted in Stuart Smalley)…sweetheart…baby…you are all ready surrounded by morons.

No kidding, where do we go? A right to work state.

May 5th. Occupy Milwaukee, Madison and Fond du Lac start up. Might be a good day to “slaphippy” if any actually show up.

JimboHoffa on May 1, 2012 at 12:16 PM

Occupy Fond du Lac? Seriously? What are they gonna do, have coffee at Schreiner’s?

Mr. D on May 1, 2012 at 1:39 PM

Now that’s funny.

Uppereastside on May 1, 2012 at 3:08 PM

You crack me up. Did the Union Pravda give you your talking points?

So do you support Falk who did a Play for Pay with the unions and announced it in a press conference? Or Tom Barrett supporter who had taxes go down for Milwaukee becuase he used Scott Walker fixes so well?

Liberalism = a mental disorder

Uppereastside on May 1, 2012 at 3:08 PM

Hey dumb*ss, that’s a tax CUT in real terms.

Libs can’t handle math and then they wonder why they are stuck unemployed or making me my latte at Starbucks.

Not wasted.

My husband and I have decided that if Scott Walker gets recalled, we WILL be moving….neither of us want to live in a state where we are surrounded by morons.

The tax bill increase would be $23 this year and $13 next year.

The nonpartisan bureau cautions those are statewide estimates that would vary widely based on local circumstances.

Scott Walker-AKA- The middle class tax increaser.

Uppereastside on May 1, 2012 at 3:08 PM

I’ll start to go to church again if taxes only went up $23!!!

and as long as I’m typing anyway, let’s talk about all these “bureaus” of propaganda that are now saying they are “nonpartisan”. Is it possible they have lost the 70 IQ people and think by adding that tag they can grab the next tier?

Read anything they have to say and try to believe the “nonpartisan” thing (Dorothy in the Wiz of OZ).

Uppereastside on May 1, 2012 at 3:08 PM

Oh, and the property tax rate has been rising for years, at far higher rates. Your spin is contemptible, as usual. Goes with your pathetic f**king moniker.

Uppereastside on May 1, 2012 at 3:08 PM

Hey there, gutless f**kbag! I see you haven’t had the stones to address the data I pointed out. Too bad, coward!

A new projection shows that property taxes statewide would increase slightly over the next two years under Gov. Scott Walker’s budget.

The Legislative Fiscal Bureau analysis released Friday projected a 0.8 percent tax bill increase on the bills that arrive in December and a 0.4 percent increase in 2012. Those estimates are based on a median valued home of around $158,000.

So if you throw out Dane county’s (one of the largest counties by pop. in WI) 4.1% increase (because MPS negotiated a contract prior to ACT 10′s implementation) that means the rest of the state is getting a tax decrease or a steady rate.

Thanks for pointing out how once again you know nothing about WI. Perhaps you should stick to NY? Oh, I’d be happy to get you a copy of Math for dummies too.

Choice has the unions running scared.
Well of course it does. An ‘unemployed’ union boss is a terrible thing to see.

GarandFan on May 1, 2012 at 11:06 AM

Never happens… once one becomes a Union Boss, the money never stops coming at the Boss…

I want to sing the ‘Wisconsin Fight Song’…for Govenor Walker!

KOOLAID2 on May 1, 2012 at 11:06 AM

The fight song for UW Madison is — “On Wisconsin”

On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
March right through that line!
Take the ball right down the field, boys
A touchdown sure this time. (U rah rah)
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Fight on for her fame
Fight! Fellows! – fight, fight, fight!
We’ll win this game.

On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Stand up, Badgers, sing!
“Forward” is our driving spirit,
Loyal voices ring.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Raise her glowing flame
Stand, Fellows, let us now
Salute her name!

One recall election per term.

Steve Eggleston on May 1, 2012 at 2:48 PM

Ironic…if he wins the recall and is then found to have drowned puppies or pushed a wheelchair into traffic (I think the intended reasons for a recall), he skates!

So together with the money the left has spent on the “non-partisan” Sup CT thing (whatever you want to call that), the fall recall elections and now this one, they have also spent their one and only chance to evict him if he did something really bad. Conjures up some NFL games where the challenge flags were thrown stupidly and the coach had none left when it mattered.

You could do Kenosha/Lake Geneva. It’s practically part of the land of toll booths.

When Walker wins, and if the Illinois Housing market ever comes back, I’m selling my house and moving to Wisconsin. I will shed my FIB label, but still hate the Packers and root for the Sox and Bears, all while paying less taxes for better services. I’m so there.

moc23 on May 1, 2012 at 12:53 PM

Come to Platteville, WI – former home of Bear’s training camp. There are plenty of bear fans here. (I’m not one of them)

2011 Mar 2838145(B) 7.6(B)

2012 Mar 2856643(P) 6.8(P)

So here’s the number of employed per the BLS in Wisconsin in Mar 2011 and March 2012

By my math that’s 18,498 more jobs in Wisconsin in the last year…

Uppereastside – you’re innumerate

(illiterate = can’t read, innumerate = incapable of doing math)

May I suggest tossing some cash Kleefisch’s way?

Serious question: How long would they have to wait to attempt a second recall? Is it limited to one per term, or can they start building signatures immediately after a loss?

Paradol Ex on May 1, 2012 at 10:43 AM

One recall election per term.

It’s not a matter of illiteracy. It’s solely a matter of intellectual dishonesty. *sigh* Can’t we get a single Camille Paglia-ish liberal on this site?

MadisonConservative on May 1, 2012 at 11:16 AM

If you’ve never read Camille, start here.
I haven’t seen any Salon articles by her since this one in June 2009 (I think she has been off writing a book).

While there was a mini-list of Muslim ideas and inventions (including the questionable assertion that we owe our “mastery of pens and printing” to the Arabs), no comparable credit was given to the enormous Western contributions to science, medicine and technology. But the gravest omission was that Obama failed to fully articulate the most basic Western concepts of legal process and civil liberties, which have inspired reformers around the world. The president of the U.S. should be an eloquent ambassador of those ideals wherever he goes.

It was also puzzling how a major statement about religion could seem so detached from religion.

Or maybe Salon just didn’t want anyone rocking Obama’s boat.

Typical liberal. Typical post of half truths and ignoring important facts.

watertown on May 1, 2012 at 2:08 PM

speaking which, have you seen the Falk ad saying “Walker gave $2.3bil to corporations and wealthy individuals”?…best as I can find, that is a 10 year projection of tax breaks given to employers to do business here (i.e. average $230mil/per year if it works…state bi-annual budget is $65bil or $32.5 bil/yr…$230 mil is pocket change).

So in reality he hasn’t “given” anywhere near that number one year into his budget. Worse yet is the hipocrisy…Obama can P*** away a trillion in one year (at the federal level where it didn’t seem to do much) and my ears hurt from the applause from the left.
