I suppose this guy and others like him think they have the moral responsibility to shove their opinions and agenda down everyone's throat. What a typical leftist douche-nozzle!!

I'd like to give this guy a talking point!!! Heh Heh!!

Typical Douchebag Union Tool, probably bringing in a 6 figure income, all on the backs of resident taxpayers who have no say in the quality of their children education.

The waste on Government education is staggering and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

Stupid fuck loses the ability to do anything without money involved.

Typical liberal snake.

I certainly was not impressed by this man's answers. They just don't understand that this is not union asking to "share" the companies profits...it about a union wanted to tax the people for their gain. I have a cousin who just retired from teaching (CT)...boy what a package she got, it was outstanding. Our taxes in my city and state are going up so much I don't know how the average person is going to make it. It is starting to get so scary. Really!
I think about what the people did to Marie Antionette when they got fed up with their "rulers" demand for more taxes, etc. People can only take so much abuse to their purses.
P.S. I was named after her!

Can you imagine asking this man "paper or plastic?" at the grocery store? The backup at the express line would be to the dairy aisle.

What I hear him say is - Be reasonable and do it our way.

It's their idea of compromise.

Calling the democratic senators deserting their jobs "heroic" sums up the liberals. Benedict Arnold was heroic to them. Saddam Hussein, etc. Their world view is so out of whack it is scary. I think liberals leftists are off, if you know what I mean. ww

They don't realize it yet, but they are going to lose. It's going to be very noisy from all the crying and gnashing of teeth.

Eventually enough folks will vote with their feet and move to areas when the local government is not a parasite on the taxpayers and these unions collapse under their own weight.

It's ridiculous to fund these unions with our tax dollars so they can bribe temporary politicians with campaign contributions for huge wages & benefits. Once the douchebag politician leaves office he figuratively kicks the can down the road for someone else to deal with. This is what Rep. Govs are doing today.

Hopefully we can bust Barry's Kenyan ACORN union in 2012..

de-certify all public employee unions asap ...

I guess you have not heard the Governor Walker audio yet. Proof positive that he IS a paid stooge of Cato and the Koch brothers.

So I guess if any of you guys lived in WI it would be OK with you if your public utilities were sold to the Koch brothers, privatized so they could raise your electric bill.

This audio is confirming evidence of the Govs IQ.....around Bachmans and Palins. Just low enough to be used as a patsy by scumbags like David Koch.

There is one wrong with this thesis. The people that are doing the walking to other states are wanting the same thing there. A good example of this is Nevada. California is losing population to Nevada, because of the low taxes, but they turn around and do the same thing all over until there is no more empty spaces left.

I heard the audio of the fake newman's interview. Nothing nefarious was said at all yoou pinhead. And first the dem's whine, then they run away from the jobs now they are making fun of peoples intelligience. The left is so childish no wonder Gov.Walker doesn't want to talk to them.

The inherently corrupt Public Service Unions have to be disbanded. There is no way collective bargaining can be done realitically when there is no financial risk to either party. The only people at financial risk in the public sector are tax payers. That means the school teachers have a say in how much tax money they want. I wish I had that ability in the private sector. ;) ww

gonadss poppleopolis-

"This audio is confirming evidence of the Govs IQ...."

Keep on shoveling...Your the one that has to smell yourself.

Obviously this fellow thinks the teachers not the voters should make decisions on how to spend tax dollars

Meghan did not ask that follow up and thuset him off easy.

Blah Blah Blah. Straight out of the Left wing playbook. Do you guys have anything other than calling Conservatives stupid or racist?

"Do you guys have anything other than calling Conservatives stupid or racist?"

But...but... those were the only two words they learned in skool.

#13, sorry to burst your strawman dreams, but even IF the entire public utility structure of Wisconsin was sold to the Koch bros, they would still have to answer to the Wisconsin Public Service Commission. They would have to get rates approved like any utility company.
It would appear that you are the one with the low IQ, bad arguments and stupid examples.

I guess you have not heard the Governor Walker audio yet. Proof positive that he IS a paid stooge of Cato and the Koch brothers.

I guess that no one has seen the pictures that I don't really have of gnnnoooooosssssooossss papapapadopoulis out on a date with a sheep, drinking with the sheep at a public bar, and checking into a motel with the sheep. Sheep. Proof positive that gnnnoooooosssssooossss is a dumbass.

I would never assume to know the average IQ of a "conservative". But you seem very upset by a teacher making 50K a year with a 24K pension but untroubled at all by the lack of prison time for the Wall Street criminals that infected the pension systems with toxic assets and are responsible for the 2008 crash. Now, and this is what makes me question your intelligence, shouldn't you be mad at the Wall Street criminals that caused the crash and not the teachers and cops that are the victims of criminality by Wall Street and state legislators?

Lets hear the arguments against Matt Taibbi succinct explanation:

These teachers feel the need to go to Madison to defend their jobs? Fine. But don't be asses and lie to get paid for those days off.

And of course this clown supports the dems running away from their jobs to avoid the vote. He and his union employees have abandoned their jobs, too.

"For the children:" the rallying cry of dems. Must be they were referring to themselves all this time...they're the ones acting liking children.

I'm so glad my kids are grown and out of school.

"I'm so glad my kids are grown and out of school"

Yes. But now they too are on the hook for gonossesssss entitlements.

Seems to me that if pension funds were the victims of the fraud that Taibbi describes, they could hire a good lawyer on a contingency fee contract and sue the funds that sold them the defective investments or the individuals involved. There are plenty of lawyers out there.

I don't have enough knowledge to decide whether the SEC is as corrupt as Taibbi claims. If the SEC is that corrupt, then the President and the Congress need to make changes (Taibbi claims that both the Dems and the GOP are equally dirty in this situation).

But none of this has to do with whether the union condones doctors handing out fake medical scrips so that teachers can defraud school boards and get paid for time they spent on strike.

I see gnossoss is offering the liberal diversions/talking points.

Looks like Haliburton has run its' course and now the Koch bros are the new bogeyman. Ironically libs use this absurd tactic while feigning obliviousness to Soros.

And if that doesn't work, bring up the housing bubble crash while dishonestly assigning all blame to Wall St. conveniently leaving out the role the dems played.

It won't work. Not here or with the general population. The average american probably doesn't even know who the Koch Bros are and the only ones not suffering from the recession are govt workers, especially the union workers.

Nice try though.

The toxic meltdown of Wall Street happened and most the deregulation of the sector was done during the Clinton Administration.

After the meltdown, the dem's continued to allow Fannie and Freddie do business even though they drove most the mortgage busts.

The unions like pension funds, because like Congress who uses Social Security surplus, unions use pension funds to politic and pay salaries to the bosses.

Can anyone prove to me that public sector unions are not inherently corrupt? ww

Isn’t it against the law to steal someone’s identity and use it for notorious reasons?

From what I heard the Governor said pretty much what he says in public.

Can't quite answer a direct question.
