When WI Gov. Walker tells the Democrats to return or else he will lay off more workers,

[metapunditedgy]

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.

[Pacifist Patriot]

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.

[Myrina]

3. He's a low-life crook holding the people of WI hostage ...

... trying to use them as leverage against the Fab 14.

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?

9. the koch brothers arrived at that same conclusion several days ago..

scotty just isn't that bright. Easily manipulated, yes, but bright, no.

[AsahinaKimi]

4. Hes kind of like

a blackmailer. You do it my way..or I do this.. and you can't stop me. They call the protesters in the state capital thugs??? pluueeeeeeasssseeee.

Let him have his childish tantrums.. its all Republicans know..

[Javaman]

10. he's more of the stupid blackmailer who pleads with his victim to take the offer...

otherwise he will stamp his feet harder. LOL

[janet118]

5. If I don't get my way, I'll fire the hostages . . . n/t

[HereSince1628]

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.

[Javaman]

12. And if they do vote for their expulsion, scotty still won't get his vote on the bill. LOL nt

[dragonlady]

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.

[QC]

7. Walker is clearly in way over his head.

He is too dumb and gutless to back down or to proceed.

[Javaman]

11. because he confuses stubborn stupidity with being resolute.

pride cometh before the fall.

He will fall hard.

[Bandit]

13. The ONE most important thing to remember and tell people is

He is the one laying off people; NOT the Democrats....Democrats are fighting FOR the people; The Governor is doing the exact opposite..

[BlueFog]

15. Here's a bit of Walker's history in Milwaukee County

from the Washington Post dated Feb. 19, 2011.

An interesting read.

[alterfurz]

19. here's more

"Whenever lawyers told him he could not do something, he invariably said, 'Let's do it anyway. By the time it works its way through the courts, we will have achieved our objective and, who knows, we might win.'"

16. blackmail

that's how the GOP werks.

[Shiver]

17. Isn't blackmail, y'know, illegal? n/t

[Raschel]

18. My thoughts exactly. How is a governor allowed to blackmail people?
