Recall the radical right. Bring back a Conservative Republican Party that we can actually have a reasonable debate with, that can contribute something to our national culture and leadership, also to keep an eye on those of us in the Democratic Party to keep us from getting too grandiose, and most important to reach acceptable compromises with us that move the nation forward without fully pleasing anybody. That is what the country had, and that is what we need.

Would I like every aspect of the entire country to be run by my liberal principles? Yes, and I am willing to engage in honest debate about it and work for it. I also know it ain't gonna happen in my lifetime, and that the country needs an honest conservative party to engage the liberal party and reach some compromise about important issues like immigration and global warming and the growing income inequality in our society. In the 1910s, Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican, led the fight against the trusts and the Robber Barons. We need a Republican like that again! Some folks say the democrats went too far in the 1960s, although I have trouble finding anything truly egregious in what they did there. Nonetheless, that perception led to the rebirth of the Republican Party in the Reagan Revolution. Ronnie would be disgusted at the bile and villainy that characterize his party now. The radical fringe of the Republican Party has lost all sense of proportion. The real Republicans need to form an RLC (Republican Leadership Conference) and drag their party back to the center a bit.

I bet every vote was from a union worker. Let's be honest, the unions have poured a great deal of money and effort to stop conscientious politicians from putting a hold on their 'gravy train'. There is no right or left here, it's those that reap the benefits fighting for more and those that pay the bills and always get less. Go easy on eating all that cheese Wisconsinners, you're bound up and crabby.

Too bad the Ohio constitution doesn't allow for recalls. Governor Kasich's days would also be numbered.

You don't have to be a union member or necessarily a union supporter to know that an attempt to balance the state's books that places the burden of sacrifice on the backs of school teachers, sanitation workers and state dot employees not to mention all the secretaries, payroll clerks etc, that work in state offices is patently unfair. The problem for years has been that politicians promise everything and tell you it costs nothing. Every tax cut that a politican promises in order to get elected has a cost not just in Wisconsin but in every state and in the nation as a whole. I'm sick to death of politicians who scream that they'll cut your taxes but do not have the courage or honesty to tell the public that they'll either have cheap, inferior services or draconian program cuts or that they are going to shift the burden of payment onto someone else. And in recent times, that burden seems to always shift to the people who can least afford to pay it. Shame on Scott Walker. He deserves to get the boot. I wish he had to live on $35K a year and worry about whether there will be enough money to pay rent, put food on the table and pray to God the kids don't get sick. The good people of Wisconsin need to stick it to him because he's shown what he truly is: an unsympathetic #@$%@*^!!! who is the toady of the priviledged few.

The right will tell you the way to get rid of the fleas on a dog is to shower the dog with ticks. Goddamn stupid tea bag republicans. Walker is shot to hell in Wisconsin.
