4. not until next year, unfortunately....
Unless I'm mistaken, Walker isn't eligible for recall until he's been in office for at least one year.

9. recall in a year but whats the limit on impeachment?
He's sitting on his ass on something he knows isn't going anywhere. If Republicans wanna have an argument over the actual working people in this country and making them pay more hey why not. If they stand their ground (unlike USPS) in rain snow sleet freezing rain or cats, gerbils and dogs falling out of the sky. Things will get better.

3. So?
Then I guess there is nothing to talk about.

I assume he'll understand if the Democrats and the unions adopt the same approach.

5. Governor? or King?
He really does suffer from some sort of oppositional defiance personality disorder, doesn't he?

12. He won't compromise? Then neither will we
We either stand our ground now, or unions as we know them are finished.

13. That's right, Scotty. Hang tight. Stick out yer lower lip and look tough.
Yer doin' it EXACTLY right, using the Mubarak playbook.

After all, it worked so well for Hosni.

amusedly,
Bright
