Battle lines stark as Wis. recall push nears end
By TODD RICHMOND | Associated Press – 52 mins ago

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Sonja O'Brien heard from the hecklers as she collected signatures in a final push to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

One man yelled at her for forcing the state to spend millions on a recall election. A woman told her she was annoying. And Jack Bublitz, a 75-year-old retired banker, said Democrats would never collect enough names.

"You're not going to do it! You're not going to do it!" Bublitz yelled at her.

But O'Brien figured these naysayers were relatively civil compared to most days over the past two months in what has become a knock-down, drag-out brawl to oust Walker from office. Now the fight is about to move from the streets to the courtroom.

8. Thank you.

2. Bullies.. the whole lot of them.

Thank God we are beginning to teach our children in school that bullying is wrong and many schools are becoming better and better at being anti-bullying places... Hopefully, these children will grow up learning to be more tolerant of other's and to place their discomforts or things they don't understand from lashing out at other's in a destructive manner... Perhaps, they will learn what they don't understand and learn what it is within themselves that is making them feel they should bully other's into making other's feel bad about themselves.

6. Sorry, but tribalism will never be abolished.

4. Walker has been sort of hiding in the bushes until this recall is over...

If he is not recalled, we will see the "real" Scott Walker once again and it will not be pretty. I hope Wisconsin can get rid of this joker while they have the chance. Otherwise, they will live to regret it.

7. There's no way he can win a fair election....

... which is why the Republicans are using every tactic imaginable to prevent that.


It's our job to fight back. Total number of Recall Walker petition volunteers: 28,000.
