[onestepforward]

1. Powerful!

I *felt* that!
Thanks for posting it!

[breadandwine]

18. Oh no! Democrats getting angry? Showing passion??? That's INFLAMMATORY !!!!

Can't have that. We must be good little boys and girls and sit in the corner. Only Republicans are allowed to have passion.......

[leeroysphitz]

29. Yep, them wild eyed liberals are trying to start class warfare.

:sarcasm:

[Plucketeer]

23. I second that!

Just WOW! My heart is with those chanting.

[DemocraticVictory]

25. Dem win

Dems will win in 12. Remember Clinton lost the House and it didn't stop him.

[JDPriestly]

43. Dems will only win if Obama strongly supports the unions and

gets rid of the bankers in his cabinet and office.

Bankers are the enemies of unions. Bankers are the enemies of farmers. Bankers are the enemies of workers.

And Obama is surrounded by bankers.

[Jack Rabbit]

66. Unfortunately, he never got the House back

This allowed the House, led by forerunners of the teabaggers like Dick Armey and Tom Delay, to vote to impeach.

Will Obama be able to do better? He hardly seems interested in being president now, let alone fighting for what we thought we voted for.

[jerseyjack]

2. Recall petitions are circulating

Tom Hartmann program reported that recall petitions have started, pertaining to the assembly and senate repukes. Gov. cannot be recalled until next year.

Where are the unions in the other anti-union controlled states?

[Plucketeer]

21. Wish to hell I could sign those petitions!

Cretin is too nice a title. :grr:

[PatrynXX]

50. Having lived in WI

Wish I could too. Frankly wish I coulda voted for Feingold again too.

[suzanner]

62. This gave me goosebumps. It was a universal dusgust with Republicans.

Man's inhumanity to man is shown every day from RWers- seen at work, seen on the MSM, seen on the road. Mental illness versus stupidity- what do they think they'll be doing when we're all just slaves?

[rainy]

3. Maybe Obama really is a genius for letting the Repubs

win this time around. He knows the economy is bad. Repubs fault. But he was getting all the blame. Here the truth comes out. It's repub policies that are driving us into the ground.

[aquart]

4. Obama LET them win. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[QC]

12. It's the dreaded ultra-mojo-double- reverse-jujitsu chess move!

In 5,598,655 dimensions!

:scary:

[CLANG]

33. Why I thought only Yoda had that much control of the force!

[QC]

55. Only Yoda and one other....

[still_one]

6. He isn't a genius and he isn't in control of this, however I believe you are correct, the repukes

have overplayed their hand, and made it public to America their disdain for labor, and that will have consequences in the political landscape

The credit for this exposure goes entirely to labor and the people who are exposing it

[bulloney]

17. Anti-union people won't care until this affects them. And it will eventually.

I live in the biggest anti-union area imaginable. Granted, unions aren't perfect, but they've improved the standard of living for many people and are the biggest reason why this country had such a vibrant middle class. The non-union employers had to improve their wages and benefits to compete with unionized employers. If the public employees lose their right to collectively bargain in Wisconsin and other states, the non-union workers will eventually feel it.

[Jackpine Radical]

34. Anti-union and non-union are not synonyms.

Many non-union people are standing with the protestors in WI. They understand quite well, and many of them would be union if they could.

[AtheistCrusader]

49. Non Union isn't anti-Union, and I hear this a lot, but you forget one point:

Some 'non union' people work in an industry that isn't unionized at all, so what phantom union are these companies competing against that gains me "The non-union employers had to improve their wages and benefits to compete with unionized employers."

Are you suggesting employers in, say, IT or Software Development improved wages to compete with industries that are unionized?

[livingonearth]

63. You are so right!

Where I work there are both union and non union employees. The non union employees were always very interested in what benefits the union got because the company would always improve their benefits to match. They were always secretly rooting for the union.

[Jokinomx]

27. I agree... the right has taken this to a new level of selfishness....

They win an election and they interpret it as a "mandate" and forget that nearly half of the people disagree with them and I am sure well more that half will disagree with them by the time next years elections come around.

[defendandprotect]

38. This isn't "selfishness" -- it's crime -- and I doubt they "won" any electcion ...

and until we dump all the voting computers we won't know!

It's about as likely as W having won the 2000 election!!

[Jokinomx]

42. can't say I disagree with you..n/t

:toast:

[defendandprotect]

48. We have to wonder why the Democratic Party doesn't ... since they've had so much to lose!!

:hi:

[JJW]

13. Obama tax cuts to the rich

Yup extending Bush tax cuts for billionaires & millionaires has emboldened the GOP.

It's working for Wall Street and the Banksters.

[defendandprotect]

39. Another Dem betrayal which shouldn't have happened ....

went out again in a private deal by Obama -- !!

[savalez]

56. Now don't let Senate Pubs off the hook.

[Blacksheep214]

5. What the Koch Bros. want

Republicans deliver!

[liberal N proud]

7. Sad that this had to come to this.

[Maraya1969]

8. What was the vote about??????? I missed something.

[NYC Liberal]

10. The Assembly Repukes passed the anti-union bill at 2AM.

However it won't get through the Senate as long as the Dems stay away.

[Maraya1969]

11. Oh Whew! I thought somehow they got it all through.

[Kurovski]

9. Does Wisconsin have a lot of electronic voting?

You know, the kind that's easily hacked and that no one is allowed to check?

I just don't believe Wisconsinites voted in so many fascist, anti-middle class worker types. Including that Koch's boy, Walker.

K&R

[defendandprotect]

40. THAT's what we need to keep asking ... all the way back to late 1960's ....

when these voting computers first began coming in --

and journalists began to investigate the unlikely results --

all unverifiable -- !!

Finally they've had to change even the "predictions" in order to hide the steals!!

How dumb are we?

A nation that still doesn't understand we have had stolen elections for decades?


:eyes:


See: Votescam -- The Stealing of America

by two Florida journalists who began investigating the odd results of their elections
in the late 1960's -- unverifiable results -- and wrote a book about it --
available here and there for about $3 -- but on line here at family's website.


http://www.constitution.org/vote/votescam__.htm

[JDPriestly]

44. As California Secretary of State, Debra Bowen forced election computers

to be tested and verified for reporting accuracy. No Republicans were elected at the state level in California. No election fraud. No Republicans. Coincidence?

[defendandprotect]

47. Are the computers gone or just under obsevation? What about rest of CA?

[JDPriestly]

59. Most of the unreliable computers were not certified and could not be used.

Computers had to be certified for accuracy and reliability. They had to be tamper-proof, and Debra Bowen tested them to make sure they were.

[IamK]

61. California is not in the midwest...

[Kurovski]

51. Super-anonymous voting.

Maybe some of the rest of the country can follow teh trend? Elec theft Not just for rich folk no more? :shrug:

I spent alot of time in Elec-reform forum. Most of the popular kids in high school like to say "You is conspiracy squirrel! stop saying unverifiable voting is not OK!" I don't know. I don't know anything. Except that you should be able to get into the computer and see what the hell it's doing, or find another way to do it.

[defendandprotect]

73. Need at least VERIFIABLE results -- but prefer return to PAPER BALLOTS/PEN ...

[RBInMaine]

53. No, it was NOT vote fraud. It was Dems sitting out, R's voting, and some D's and mod Indies voting R

because they were frustrated with the economy and thought the Pukes were going to create jobs, jobs, jobs. Same shit happened in Maine and many other places. Well, there is another election in 2012. Maybe next time they'll have learned.

[defendandprotect]

74. Try actually reading the post --

We've had computer voting since late 1960's --

try looking at the link -- !!


Meanwhile ...

You're talking about 2010 -- ?

For every $1 Dems got from corps -- Repugs got $7 --

you don't think that effected the election?

Had Obama not trampled single payer/MEDICARE FOR ALL in private deals with

Big Pharma and private h/c industry -- Dems would have been set for next 40 years!!

That Obama made deals with these private businesses at the expense of citizens

turned many voters off -- obviously.

Rather, Obama preferred to see it as a new need to move further to the right!!

[Sabriel]

14. K&R for the Greatest Page

I never thought I'd see anything like this in my state.

Usually, we're all about civility and genteel discourse. Heck, all we talk about is the weather.

[Kurovski]

52. You guys kept that corporate poison, bovine growth hormone, out of the state

Wisconsinites are not idiots. Even conservatives have the sense to not fowl their own nest.

I've been a neighbor for most of my life.

Something not right happened in the last election, at very least.

[Iliyah]

71. Thank you for noticing

that the pass elections were hummmmmmm, not right. Remember the gop kept screaming about voter fraud this pass elections.

Issa dude, please subpena.....yea right.

[Kurovski]

72. it's my own little obsessive worry

when you can't verify an election, and there is reason for suspicion, i really don't see the point in all the "we won/lost because" yakkity-yak. I find it too frakking hollow at times.

[TomClash]

15. Completely absent from MSM nt

[Plucketeer]

22. I first heard about on MSNBC this morning. N/T

[jimlup]

16. I know enough about the state of Wisconsin to know that

The people there will not stand for this crap.

[Blacksheep214]

19. Go to jsonline

Read the responses to any article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and it seems the majority of the responses are anti union and really nasty.

Walker is their hero.

:puke:

[roxiejules]

24. And they celebrate while...

Never giving any thought to how tragic the race-to-the-bottom in wages will end up for all of us....except the ruling class.

[ladywnch]

20. I hope they hear it in their sleep for the next several years! n/t

[NYC Liberal]

30. They probably take Ambien...

like the Bushits all did.

"You don't use Ambien? Everybody here uses Ambien." -Colin Powell, 2003

[Jokinomx]

26. Wow...

I kinda wonder if this is how the Roman empire looked as it started to crack before the collapse.

We have school systems collapsing in Detroit and a middle class that is becoming non existent.

The elections in 2012 are looking like they will be the defining election for years to come.

We can only hope the Democratic base finally will put repubs in a minority for a long time.

[JDPriestly]

45. Yes. This is how the Roman Empire looked.

The military took over and turned everything into a bloody mess. They killed their husbands and wives and children and brothers and sisters and best buddies.

Psyops our generals call it. Cruelty I call it.

[DCofVA]

28. Shame! Shame! Shame!

[Marnie]

31. Wow. Maybe there is more to wearing cheese on your head than we thought.

It's nice to see the Wi Democrats wearing the union T's.

Isn't it too bad the ones in DC don't

Isn't it a shame the Chief Democrat in the WH won't walk with, talk with or even recognize that these working Americans need his support, now. Though he will expect them to support him with money and free labor a year from now.
There is the real Shame. And I doubt that the WH has anything to offer by way of a "kiss and make up" that will match the level of the betrayal.

I doubt anyone expects the Repobaggers to have shame any more. They chose to sell their souls.

[Uncle Joe]

32. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, NYC Liberal.

[felix_numinous]

35. K & R

[elmerdem]

36. They should have

just wrote a 'strongly' worded letter.:sarcasm:

[defendandprotect]

37. The "boos" of people who understand another GOP/elite swindle -- !!

[boycottfaux]

41. MAKES ME PROUD

 . . to be POOR!!!

Powerful video, let's keep it alive . .

[crim son]

46. How did all those reps come into office?

By magic? I wonder how many people who are now pissed at Walker voted for him? I'm living in a state with a new teabagger governor and when the time comes to fight him I'll be booing along with the rest but my attitude toward the folks who put his name on the ballot is Fuck You.

Yeah, this is beside the point. I know.

[The Wizard]

54. Scott Wanker (deliberate typo)

is reaping what he sows. The son of a bitch should be charged with gubernatorial fraud.

[angstlessk]

57. PROVES you CAN heard CATS...good on them!

I got chills listening to them chant!

[Dave From Canada]

58. How do we know this isn't astroturfing, paid for by Trumka and Soros?

[mdmc]

60. The American worker just can't catch a break..

[OswegoAtheist]

64. Why are they shouting "shame?"

They need to shout words Repukes actually know the meaning of.

Oswego "'Herp' and 'Derp' spring instantly to mind" Atheist

[progressoid]

65. Wooooow.

:wow:

[Kablooie]

67. what happens after the Senate passes it? (Assuming they manage to.)

Does everyone get grumpy but just go back to work or will there be a national explosion?

[CHOCOLATMIMOSA]

68. K&R

[PatrynXX]

69. common complaint of the right...

shoving things thru. hypocrites

[spicegal]

70. I hope American workers and middle class are prepared to keep this fight up

over the long haul, because I guarantee the rich will fight to the death to protect their wealth. Seriously, this fight has only just begun. It's time for the middle class to take to the streets in large numbers and let our voices be heard. If we back down now, we're screwed. If the unions go down, we'll be on our own, whether your a union worker or not.

[JHB]

75. 20 seconds

The part that this video doesn't catch is where the Republicans opened the measure for vote...and closed it 20 seconds later. Naturally all "in favor" got their votes in (almost as if they knew in advance and were ready for it, just sayin') whereas plenty of legislators who were still contesting the sudden opening of the vote never even got their votes in.
