Governor Walker is tearing down Republican hopes...
He is discrediting the entire Party.

The more the national Republicans remain silent and on the sidelines, the more likely they will suffer devastating defeats in the next election.

The Governor and his Party got greedy. They over-reached.

The people of Wisconsin and this nation are pissed off. The Republicans, if not recalled, will see themselves in a minority once again, after the next election. They have blown their chances to take over the Senate and the White House.

Finally, the Democrats will get a chance to do the right thing. They can change the filibuster rules in the Senate. They can get rid of the corporate welfare. They can return to a progressive tax structure. They can stop these wars and the leeching of the military. They will have the power to do all these things because of Governor Walker and his Republican followers. They can do all these things, if they want to, and the people will be behind them.

If they don't do them, our country is dead.

2. I have a funeral insurance policy I can sell you...
I have little hope for reviving the patient. These vampires have drained the lifeblood from her.

3. As long as this nation has American Idol and access to Big Buckets of Extra Crispy...
I think we'll all be just fine.

Oh, look! Charlie Sheen is on TMZ!

4. Even my tea-bagging friends on Facebook
are ignoring Walker & Kasich, minus a couple of pot-shots at protesters & public servants in more tropical settings, and opting for wet sloppy kisses to Christie instead.

8. My feelings against the conservanazis won't change before the next election. However,
The Dems better find a set of balls. I'm tired up supporting the gutless wonders. The conservanazis keep screwing up and the Democratic Party, National and States, haven't been jumping on the bandwagon to use it against the rethugs. National exposure would help a bit, don't you think, Dems????

The "DUH" seems to be getting louder and louder.

15. Oh they're not happy, my brother who I kinda thought was
a repub, voted for walker and so did his wife....mostly because of the "religious" issues, you know gay marriage, abortion etc, they're both good Catholics and now because she's a special education teacher are really disappointed in their vote. Saying walker overreached his bounds......ah yeah, I said, what did you think??? He said, well I didn't think he'd go this far. I just said thanks for your vote and rolled my eyes. We've never been close anyway.

12. If the election were held tomorrow I would agree. 11/2012 is a long way off.

13. I love Walker. He's a real Uniter!
He has united unions, teachers, poor, and tons of people who are just fed up.

17. It's lonely at the top, ain't it Walker?
They put him out there to test the waters, and now they're cutting him loose.

Too funny.
