you sucked in the private sector before. You worked 2 years at IBM and I am sure you were a lousy typewriter salesman. You then worked at a non profit. So what are your skills?

11. He never left the private sector, he sold the state to the Koch brothers.

Remember him hiring his friends at outrageous salaries because he saw no difference in the public money and his own pocket.

None of these teabaggers see any conflict of interest in using any connections they have to make money off the public when they leave, or even when they're in office.

In their eyes, government is a police standing in their way to be swatted away while they pick pockets. He never worked for WI.

He pointed out that while Walker's salary was $144,423, he was cutting the salaries of teachers who made only a third of that. And for that reason, it's unconscionable that he would tell a reporter that, in effect, that wasn't enough money for his family.

13. One thing to have no sense of justice, but to have no sense of irony, either?

Unforgivable. One of his cronies under indictment will turn on him and he'll get to be guarded by union members. That's justice and irony and he STILL won't get it.

& neither are those who chose to work with him, so I believe they're talking or will be.

They're bullies until they're facing something bigger & more powerful, then they're cowards and it's every man & woman for themselves.

There's no better position to be in than being on the side of the truth, common sense, & common decency. They know it & their workloads must be twice as hard as the Democrats'; can you imagine the extra work it must add to each Republican's day just to learn all that party-coordinated spin, amnesia, & talking points.

resign, perhaps seeing the writing on the wall. Naturally, because he is such a coward, he is pointing to his wife, saying she would like him to go back to the private sector.

Real Money, you say? You might be making the same as Blago will be making, like how does .12 per hour sound, you thieving jerk ! We can only hope .
