    Ah, so one bartender is offering shots for signatures. Darn him. Next thing you know he'll be busing in people to terrorize unsuspecting Democrats and pacing in front of the polling place with a club in his hand.

    I wonder if Eric Holder would prosecute that voter intimidation??

    No need to bus anyone. The Dem's, and Repubs are working to get rid of REPUBLICANS.

    The difference between Wisconsin, and Massachusetts, is Mass is still talking and negotiating, heated, but still in the process. That's the difference between Dem's and Repubs. Repubs dictate, Dem's negotiate.Its a process.

    They voted already in the Mass. Legislature ;awaiting a Senate vote... the absolute same point that the protests began in Wisconsin .

    I see the hypocrisy here is NY too. Cuomo is being tough and the unions are not rising up.

    You mean a process like Obama care that was rammed through WITHOUT a house vote? To keep the minority party from having ANY input at all? But THAT was acceptable?

    Hello again,

    Well, since the Republicans KNOW they're going to lose their majority in the recalls coming up, they're RAMMING their right wing agenda down our throats, BEFORE they get thrown out on their a$$'s.

    The bastards. In a rapid sequence of votes over the next eight weeks, they plan to legalize concealed weapons, deregulate the telephone industry, require voters to show photo identification at the polls, expand school vouchers and undo an early release for prisoners.

    I don't know what happened to the jobs thing... I guess they were lying.

    They have jobs, why should they care if you don't? You know a better way to keep your kids from competing for the jobs of the future than keep adults from affording ANY education, and build more jails for YOUR kids?

    I don't. Will it work? They are going to try their best that's for sure! Will it stick? I seriously doubt it!

    Hello again, Tal:

    It's much harder to get a law repealed, than it is to stop it from being passed in the first place... The Republicans are doing this all over the place... Florida passed a law to have ANYONE who applies for public help MUST take a drug test and PAY for it. You know, real crazy right wing stuff...

    What's happening to our country.. I just heard an amazing thought... It seems there's a general consensus around Washington from BOTH parties, that the Republicans are going to take over the Senate in 2012. Can you believe that??

    I don't know... in Wiscosin they tried to save jobs. Here in NY the Mayor isn't asking the public unions for give backs... he's just firing them..

    That's the point, its about agenda, NOT jobs. Power, and money, and getting more of it. Its an old story, and still playing. Some never get enough, and don't circulate it, and we all suffer. So much for that trickle down stuff.

    Nothing wrong with keeping drug addicts... and drunks off the public coffers. And criminals out of public housing.

    Hello again,

    Wisconsin judge strikes down Walkers union busting law.
    I don't know WHY those law and order Republicans can't seem to follow the law. It's a simple open meetings law. It means you have to be transparent and let people know what you're going to do.. Instead, the Republicans, thought they could sneak the law into being... Stupid Republicans.

    Geez, this was the most talked about law of the year. The Wisconsin legislature was overflowing with protesting visitors. How in the heck can some judge say it wasn't transparent, because Democrats refused to stay and do their job?

    Btw, that was just one circuit court judge's opinion. It ain't over yet, so don't crow too loudly about Republicans breaking the law. You oughtta be criticizing Democrats who didn't stick around for the fight anyway.
