Millions in TV ads, but no poll movement for Scott Walker: Trails in new poll

[SealBeachHusker]

You would be wrong when you state..."DEMOCRATS have forced the citizens of Wisconsin to endure.....blah blah." The recall petition signatures cut across all political lines, age groups, gender, and socio-economic groups. Secondly, how were the citizens of Wisconsin FORCED to do anything? Walker and the Pubs are in the process of destroying Wisconsin in a number of different ways so recall petitions are a perfectly acceptable and fully democratic way of correcting what was clearly a giant mistake.

Polls suggest it's still pretty much a partisan effort...with some predictions looking much like the 2010 election.

I don't doubt that many of the signatures on the recall petitions are Republican. Public Safety personnel represent a dichotomy of sorts. On the one hand, they tend to lean very conservative in a majority of their evaluation of various issues...and register heavily as Republicans. Yet, their livelihoods and careers benefit greatly from union protection. I think Wisconsin leans right enough to counter this push, but the reforming of essentially all public sector jobs means you are going to potentially impact large numbers of Republicans who just might not be comfortable with it.

Reference post #14 as to how Walker and the Pubs are "destroying Wisconsin."

That's right!!!! They're destroying Wisconsin because liberal drama-queen bloggers and liberal drama-queen bbs posters say so, dammit! That right there is EVIDENCE!!!

Yes, Warhorse, Wisconsin is in the process of being destroyed.

Why are you in favor of Wisconsin being destroyed, SBH? They make good cheese up there. Once the nefarious process is complete, I wonder if Lake Michigan will fill in where Wisconsin used to be, or if will just be a desolate wasteland utterly bereft of cheese curds and Packer fans.

Any chance of carving the discarded foam cheeseheads into foam cornheads?

I doubt if anything will survive the Wiscopocalypse let alone something as flimsy as foam.

The Gamemakers from the Capitol will do it when the tributes least expect it.

I admit it, I LOL'd IRL.

In statistics it's generally a good idea to identify the outliers and get rid of em. Could politics be the same?

Seal, you cannot advocate getting rid of Warhorse and Rick, its against forum rules!!!

[HuskerNCorpus]

To say nothing of the time spent out of state drumming up these donations (at tax payer expense?) The righters scream foul when Obama does it but nary a peep when a Pub governor does it. IOKIYAR

LOL. So you're wondering why no "righters" are criticizing a Republican governor for doing something that there's no evidence of him doing?

Nice.

[Huskermedic]

This is my thing with this. Unions flat out lied on there TV commercials here in Ohio over SB5 which was Ohio's version of the Wisconsin bill.

All these laws said was it gives the elected people the power to control what unions can get paid in salary and benefits.

Some of the union guys I work with don't think the voters or the elected officials should have the say in what they get paid only the courts or (collective bargaining which is tipped in the union favor)

So Red Reign and Warhorse:

What is wrong with treating a union how the private sector is treated? That is all these laws are doing. Making it a level playing field.

[Warhorse]

Yes, Warhorse, Wisconsin is in the process of being destroyed.

Yes Chi according to about 900,000 Cheeseheads who signed the recall petition.

[Warhorse]

Nice.

No evidence?? The cold hard fact is that Walker certainly has been running all over the country drumming up outstate donations. The only question is...has he been doing on the Wisconsin taxpayers' dime?

Lol...all kinds of things wrong with this logic. Don't even know where to start.

900,000 people signing a pettition doesn't mean they all think Wisconsin is in the process of being destroyed....you know that, right?

Exactly! You want righters to criticize him for traveling at the expense of the taxpayers, yet you admit there's no evidence of him doing so. So, what exactly are you wanting righters to criticize him for?

[LutheranHusker]

I admit it, I LOL'd IRL.

As did I.

[CornfieldCounty]

As did I.

Get a rm u2..

Sorry I thought you meant there was no evidence of him traveling at all.
