When WI Gov. Walker tells the Democrats to return or else he will lay off more workers, |
|
isn't he really saying that he does not want democracy in Wisconsin?
What is democracy if it does not include common people standing up to a government that does not represent them?

1. He's really not smart enough to handle this situation. |
|
That's not name calling on my part. He really is incapable of coming up with anything more sophisticated. He also does not understand that what he thinks is resolve, is the sign of a bull-headed dullard.

2. I agree with you. It's not name calling. |
|
Every statement and action coming from this man is indicative of a rather low level of intelligence. Dullard is a fabulous word for him.

8. I think what happened is he made a deal with his corporate masters to get elected. |
|
Now he finds that he is unable to keep his part of the bargain. If this continues, he will get even more erratic.
What does one do when you make a deal with the mafia and can't keep your end of the bargain?

6. And if they do return, the senate will vote for their expulsion |
|
Somehow I think the R negotiating team got something wrong on the distribution list of their memos.

14. There won't be any expulsion |
|
Expulsion takes a 2/3 majority, which is 22, and the Republicans have only 19. They would need some Democrats to vote to expel themselves.

7. Walker is clearly in way over his head. |
|
He is too dumb and gutless to back down or to proceed.
