(CNN) -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Monday dismissed as "ridiculous" a letter from a Democratic state Senate leader who suggested a meeting "near the Wisconsin-Illinois border" to discuss the state's budget impasse.

Sen. Mark Miller sent the letter to Walker on Monday, offering a border summit as a way to resume stalled negotiations on the state's budget.

Miller and 13 other Democratic senators left Wisconsin for Illinois on February 17 to prevent a vote on a budget plan that includes limits on public bargaining.

But Walker said top Republican lawmakers and even members of his own staff have already met repeatedly with some of senators, including one meeting over hot chocolate at a McDonald's restaurant. Walker said the talks seemed to be making progress and the Democrats' return seemed imminent.

1. America demands to know where the McDonalds was.

Or else it's bullshit.

2. Its too late for the GOV to RECOV....too much evidence of intransigence

in the FACE OF REASON, LOGIC, COMMON SENSE, COMMON GOOD.

3. He can dismiss & call it ridiculous all he wants but when the names keep adding up on

that recall petition, when the polls keep adding up those negativity feelings about him & the majority of the state as is now against what he is trying to do, he may not be around to get a chance to meet with them anyway.

4. Ridiculous? Walker doesn't realize he's fast becoming the joke.

5. "the Democrats' return seemed imminent"

Bull. Shit.

They said that before and the Democrats denied it. This is another instance of Republicans "creating their own reality".
