For those who do not intend to vote

[spareparts]

was it me, or did the press completely try to sweep the Wisconsin recall under the rug last night. I saw the same article on Yahoo till about midnight about it being really close on the exit polls, long after the election was over(Walker won by a landslide). I had to search a bunch just to find any results listed. I checked the evening news, it was like they had to say something about it, so the waited till way into the news cast to mention it, didn't say much of anything about it. Yes, I have my tin foil hat on

Morning Joe on MSNBC covered the WI re-election of Scott Walker pretty thoroughly...he is a staunch small government Republican, former (R) Representative from FL and covers both sides of politics pretty fairly...but yeah, they were all about WI politics this morning, what it meant for the unions, etc, etc...

no Tin Foil hat needed my friend, the demo/socialist's are going nuts right now after committing over 70 million dollars and tremendous man power to destroy a good man who is doing the right thing by the people in his state.
I found it very very interesting the news that has leaked out the past couple of weeks about Wisconsin and their unions.
The public sector unions have lost 28% of their membership in the past six months.
The teachers union has lost one third of its membership in the past two years.
So basically as soon as the people were given a choice on whether they paid these dues to a union they did not agree with and/or spent their hard earned money on a left wing agenda they did not like, guess what they did?
They quit it.
Supposedly now, according to a union rep interviewed a few days ago the unions anticipate a major loss of members if Gov. Walker gets reelected.
The other tid bit I found very interesting last night is the info that came from exit polling, a large percentage of those voting for Gov. walker were also union members.
I am a union member, a public sector union member, two of my brother's are union members, three of my sisters are union members. Not a one of them is voting for the Obamination this fall. All of us are strong supporters of the reforms Gov. Walker did in his state and wish it went viral nationally.
A lot of good people in the unions, honest hard working people. A lot of these people do not want socialism in this country and want to see this country rebound.
Last night you found out that in the state that brought unions to the highest political power and the state with the most liberal policies and voting records in the nation decided enough was enough.
God Bless them and God Bless Scott Walker

It was very interesting last night to watch Wolf Blitzer on CNN. At 9 o'clock, after the polls closed and they were allowed to start reporting on the elections he was almost jubliant.. saying that their exit polls were calling the race a dead heat...to even to call,.. and that this was also a mandate for President Imposter and his policies. Then, at 10 o'clock, when all the other networks were calling Walker the winner, he was forced to say that CNN was also calling Walker the winner. He was so sad that you would have thought that he needed a tissue for the tears. Not a word about the President... not a word about a mandate.. nothing.. just a brief announcement that Walker had won, and then he moved on to other races.. clearly crestfallen.

So, to anyone that thinks that the Tea Party is dead and no longer a factor, I would just tell them to look at 2010, and now, look at Wisconsin... So for 2012, don't tell me we're dead, don't shut the door, we are the Tea Party...just listen to us roar!!

walker is a a koch bros. puppet,nothing more,nothing less.
The President became hated when he introduced Obamacare.
all of this talk about finding common ground is a smoke and mirrors job.
there's far too much fear mongering about how the president is gonna turn our nation into a socialist country.clue,it'll never happen.I remember hearing the same stuff from some of the ultra conservative groups when Clinton was elected.Ammo and gun prices went through the roof for a while because these people put the fear talk out then that everyone was going to lose their right to bear arms.it never happened just like this country turning into a socialist country will never happen!
The problem is that too many people have bought into the BS ultra left and ultra right fear mongering that media sources like MSNBC and FOX news have been putting out for far too long now.They do it because like so very many politicians,it's what they're being paid to do!
The Teaparty may in fact have started out wanting our politicians to be responsible and held accountable but they are now perceived as a far cry from that original intent.Obviously there are still many good members but they need to do some policing of the bad element within.
On the other side of the coin i beleive that the democratic party has lost face by playing to the poor who have taken advantage of our public assistance programs and they do it for the votes.My opinion on this will probably amaze some of you but welfare should be turned into workfare.We can provide jobs for people on public assistance who are able to work.they may not be great jobs but,instead of simply collecting gov't money each month,the able bodied would go to work each day and then they would recieve a paycheck and pay taxes on the money they have earned.They could also recieve job training so they could eventually find a better job and move out of public housing and into their own home.Those who refuse to go to work would be forced to live in a county poor house.they'd be fed,have a place to sleep and have a roof over their heads.Nothing fancy,bologna sandwiches and tomato soup,etc.,a large common bunk area and so on.Sooner or later MOST would figure that if they would simply go to work they would be able to move out of the poorhouse and have a job and a place of their own to live.
What would happen is that most of these people would get a sense the accomplishment that comes with work and earning a paycheck.

Sorry Jeff but you missed the boat on the Tea Party completely.
You also missed the entire train on the Obamination and his agenda and what his reelection would do to this nation. Not even close.
But you are going to have to do your own education at this point. The info on that is available from multiple sources so you really cannot miss it unless it is intentional.
I respect your opinion, and your right to voice it. But at this point we, again are going to have to agree to disagree. You can have the last word on this cause I feel the facts are there for anyone to see and further discussion serves no purpose.

well,I simply happen to disagree with all of the fear mongering that is happening.the ultra right and ultra left will accomplish one thing,causing even further division in this country.Little will get done until both sides understand that some compromise had to happen.

Why? Why should we compromise on something so fundamentally wrong for America? All this emphasis on getting along.. well damnit, I DON"T WANT to "get along" with someone or some group that is trying to destroy my Country!!! People say that the imposter is not a socialist??... BULL!!

According to The Washington Times the imposter joined the New Party (an extreme socialist party) on January 11, 1996.
http://times247.com/articles/obama-w...rty-docs-prove
According to NewsMax Magazine, minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:
"Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party".
Consistent with this, a roster of the Chicago chapter of the New Party from early 1997 lists Obama as a member, with January 11, 1996, indicated as the date he joined.

The evidence is overwhelming, this man is trying to change America, He's good, he's smooth, he's sneaky and he's a liar. So was Hitler. (another socialist) He is trying to take away our very freedoms. All you have to do is LOOK. Open your eyes and your ears for Gods sake!!! I'm not a sociaist, nor do I want my Country to become a socialist state! I will not "get along", and I have no intention of compromising. I won't abandon my Country!

Neither will I.But,my opinion is that these extreme views from both sides gets little to nothing done in the long run.
