As protests continue, Walker says he's forging ahead

[cali]

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he has the votes to pass a bill removing collective bargaining rights for public employees.

Walker says he is open to making changes to the measure, but that he will not "fundamentally undermine the principles" he is proposing.

Senate Republicans met in secret earlier Wednesday in advance of a planned vote on the bill in the Legislature's budget committee.

More than 13,000 protesters descended on the Capitol a day earlier to participate in a 17-hour public hearing. Thousands more came on Wednesday, with hundreds chanting outside his office door, "Recall Walker now!"

The full Legislature could start voting on the bill as soon as Thursday. Walker has said concessions are needed from public employees to help balance a projected $3.6 billion budget shortfall.

1. So, he is saying ...

Screw what you people want or need or dare to demand! I don't serve you, you serve me.

He should check into how well that ship sailed in Egypt. Concessions are needed elsewhere, but the interests he serves demands breaking the backs of the people.

7. Walker's team follows team Rove, Rove followed team Goebbels

If you say something over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over and over and over over and over and over people believe it to be true.

The technique is called THE BIG LIE. It is very popular among GOP PR people.
