But maybe his second term is a better time to do it. If he tries it now, he’ll likely lose the fight, and maybe his second term too.

and if he gets recalled again in his second term? wooops, guess we should have done that earlier…

You can’t announce these things beforehand. You have to wait until you get the majorities and then go for it

“After Tuesday’s election, Republicans emerged with a preliminary 17-15 majority in the Senate and a comfortable majority in the House of Representatives or Assembly.

A special state Senate election to be held in December in a Republican stronghold is expected to add to the party’s power in the 33-member chamber.”

Why can’t someone else do it? Are there no other republicans or conservatives who can do this?

they are doing it, time to ride the wave. what just happened in michigan?

It’s so very easy to sit behind a keyboard and complain about people like Walker, but have you had people outside your home scaring your family, death threats, etc, and having 24/7 TV coverage of what a DB you are? Probably not.

they signed up for it. they have protection. and if you give in and dont do something you should because people are threatening you, how are you ever going to do ANYTHING? they know it works, thats why they do it.

I say go for the throat too. I say we should always go in for the kill, when that’s a winnable strategy. But maybe his second term is a better time to do it. If he tries it now, he’ll likely lose the fight, and maybe his second term too.

Ayeah, as much as I’d like conservative action to happen yesterday if not sooner, the cold truth is if he doesn’t have the majority to run this through it’s probably going to be a fiasco.

“Scott Walker has earned the right to decide what fights to pick and when.”

Yeah, the perfect time to fight is after they recall more people and we don’t have the numbers anymore. Great strategy. Let’s play chicken with our principles. Hard fights are hard, lets leave that to the Democrats.

Why can’t someone else do it? Are there no other republicans or conservatives who can do this? The man has earned a reprieve and why must he kill himself on hills that it seems no one else is willing to fight on (if no one else can be bothered to take up the slack?).

It’s so very easy to sit behind a keyboard and complain about people like Walker, but have you had people outside your home scaring your family, death threats, etc, and having 24/7 TV coverage of what a DB you are? Probably not.

This isn’t directed at you, but at all the people who aren’t happy with what people like Walker have given already. It’s now time for other people to get involved and start taking up some of the workload.

Correct. He’s always said he’s had no beef with private sector unions. They’ve, for the most part, have acknowledged economic realties and slowly have made concessions.

Public Unions? Not so much. It was bankrupting the State.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. That was funny. Provided a much-needed laugh. Thanks.

Wait… what? You were serious?

Oh.

Yeah, not so much.

Yeah, why not put off something today that can be done later. It’s the Republican way. I’m sure it’s not possible Democrats could take control. That’s a big hill, and all. It looks dangerous.
