Scott Walker, never too busy to trample on workers rights, has now basically allowed employers to work their employees 7 days a week!

yeah only like half the people in the state even vote in midterm elections. it was a record high of 55% last year and he only got 52% of the vote, so that's only like a quarter of the total electorate who like him enough to vote for him.

true but I refuse to believe that enough people hated him that badly because they couldn't be bothered to vote against him. How do you win after people dislike you so badly that there was a recall election?

A lot of people in Wisconsin really hate the University of Wisconsin system, and don't want any tax dollars going to fund it. A lot of people also hate the teachers unions since they saw them as living "high on the hog" under Doyle, our previous governor.

Again, I used to really be proud of our UW system. We had great teachers, somewhat affordable school (not really), but nonetheless a good educational system. That's one of the very few things Wisconsin had to pride itself on. Education. And beer...... But the education is now being completely dismantled. Soon we'll have nothing. We will be flyover state x. Come visit our lovely chain of Denny's restaurants and Walmart goods stores citizen.

I guess the educational system wasn't that great if you ended up with a state full of republicans

He slashed the budget like a vandal and just had to borrow close to $1-billion to fix the roads and bridges (which are in a horrible state right now) just so he wouldn't have to raise taxes or fees to bolster his campaign's "Hurf durf, I don't raise taxes vote for me durf hurf" message.

I don't know how he won the last election. I again had ECT last year so it was pretty much a blur and I don't remember anything about Mary Burke. I think people were afraid of her because they didn't know her or who she was. If you're going to gently caress up our state we'd like to get to know you first.

Well anything is better than Walker!? That's very true, but I can't make these people vote. Wisconsinites, to me, seem pretty reserved overall. They are mostly progressive and most of the conservatives aren't batshit insane crazy extremists. You can probably have a conversation with one and not want to eat a bullet.

No, everyone confused her with Robert Burke, a Koch-funded libertarian. How convenient. The TV ads played constantly before the recall election.

"A national conservative group — a Super PAC supported by the Koch brothers in the past — is lighting up social media with nine light-hearted ads promoting the Libertarian candidate for governor, Robert Burke, because he wants to legalize marijuana.

The videos almost immediately stoked concerns within Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke's camp that this was a cynical Republican ploy meant to peel off young voters or confuse people. Five of the nine marijuana ads attack Mary Burke, who is opposing GOP Gov. Scott Walker on Tuesday."

Maybe she shouldn't have been stupid and should have supported full legalization as well, instead of pussyfooting and hemming and hawing, "well ummm maybe it's okay for medical uses."

Bash: Do you think that being gay is a choice?

Walker: Oh, I mean I think -- that’s not even an issue for me to be involved in. The bottom line is, I’m going to stand up and work hard for every American regardless of who they are, no matter where they come from, no matter what their background. I’m going to fight for people whether they vote for me or not.

Bash: On behalf of people to do that properly you have to understand or at least have an opinion on who they are and where they’re coming from.

Walker: But again, I think -- no, I don’t have an opinion on every single issue out there. I mean to me that’s -- I don’t know. I don’t know the answer to that question. So, I’m saying I don’t know what the answer to that is. And I’m going to spend my time focused on things that I do know and I can work on.

I was out at a biker bar (WI is land of the Harley) 3 weeks ago in "Deliverance Wisconsin" and a black guy was there. I was talking to someone who I met a week prior at the same place who was a former Seattle cop. Great something in common! Lot's of drinking, talking, etc. So me, the black guy, and the Seattle cop were on the back porch. I quit smoking so I was using an e-cig. It was one racist joke after the other out of the Seattle cop's mouth. At least that's all I heard. We were talking for a while but he kept shoehorning these jokes in. It was uncomfortable to me at least. I was drunk... which is common in Wisconsin. Look it up We all are. So I went to the front porch. The black guy came out front and we were drinking and talking and I just couldn't hold it in. I said, "Ok, is it just me or is that guy racist as gently caress?" Then the black guy blew up and started yelling and finally let out a huge sigh of relief. I felt bad for him. He was surrounded by a bunch of hicks and just had to sit and laugh at the dude's racist jokes just to fit in. That Seattle cop was a loving rear end in a top hat.

Let's think here. I thought there was something else about Wisconsin and minorities...... I just can't put my finger on it.........

you may have misunderstood the Seattle cop and you should have called him a fascist pig fucker and made fun of Seattle to bond
