Man, anti-union free market capitalism ain’t what it used to be. A few years ago, rightwing hero and prolific union-h8r Scott Walker soared into the governorship of Wisconsin with the slogan, “Wisconsin Is Open for Business.” Within a few months, he was wiping corporate jizz off his chin after ramming through right-to-work legislation and sticking it to the unions.

Actually spent many happy summers in Wisconsin, or traversing it going back and forth to Minnesota. There were nice people there, and a Rambler plant in Janesville until Mitt's daddy closed it down. Milwaukee power tools were the best you could buy, and Harleys were ridden unironically. Beloit College was a nice little liberal arts madrasah for suburban Chicago kids.
So Walker's venal selfishness seems surprising, but then the same thing seems to have happened in Iowa.
A GOP president with a folksy demeanor? We tried the folksy moron routine a couple of times, if memory serves, with disastrous results. The voters seem to have decided that intelligence and ability count for more -- even if the teabaggers haven't yet figured it out.
Considering how dismal the GOPtards prospects are among the younger demographics, patience seems certain to be rewarded. (Sooner rather than later, given the red-state proclivity for shitty diets and shittier health care. Not even Mormon baby-making will keep up their numbers.)
The ER is a great place to get your colonoscopies, Pap smears, and breast exams. All you need are the symptoms, clearly showing that it's much too late.
all the old white republican types around my family in chi suburbs are CONSTANTLY threatening to decamp to kenosha or whatever b/c IL is such a mess (which, to be fair, it IS).
i keep telling them: i do not think WI means what you think it means.
but ms terry, i am so very sorry. we were up in chippewa falls over the winter and it was just magic (though we were there for a funeral it was a lovely weekend). how sad that a wingnut is destroying it for no real reason.
They gotta talk Russ into running, whether he wants to or not.
You know who else was a folksy Wisconsonite? Ed Gein!
True - Walker has inspired....?
Ha ha, Wisconsin "Dells."

So long as you get it tattooed on the ass of your horse, I see no problem.

i do think however, that hillz would eat for lunch.
Because the idiots who elect those people hate government too also, so they LIKE the idea of their elected representative to ruin it.
Walker looks like a man who has trouble wiping his own ass.

A few can, but they stick to Leinenkugel.
Not necessarily. I think many people were not happy about the idea of a recall even though they weren't happy with Walker either
HOBO BEANS FOR SOME, TINY AMERICAN FLAGS FOR OTHERS!
