trying to subvert democracy & turn the U.S. into an oligarchy or "Corpocracy".

Of course, I'm sure those on the right have similar feelings of antipathy toward George Soros.

(Waker) talks about his plans to threaten workers with layoffs, about sowing divisions between the public sector and private sector unions, and the potential for their union busting efforts to spread to other states. "This is our moment," he tells Murphy when Murphy describes him as "the first domino."


Government for sale.

Oh and BTW - for those of you not challenged by those inconvenient 'fact' things, the Wisconsin State Employees Pension fund is among the healthiest in the nation, revealing Walker as yet another kind of liar and corporate shill.

It seems that since Wisconsin has such a rich progressive tradition, they also have some of the stiffiest ethics laws in the nation. And it seems that the former attorney general of Wisconsin has found several ethics violations by Walker in that phone call. Such violations would then get forwarded to a non-partisan panel, which would be obligated under the law to investigate.

...which is scheduled to happen Thursday morning.

In case any of you haven't these pics of some protest signs in Madison: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-best-protest-signs-at-the-wisconsin-capitol

U  can tell these are teachers and other educated people because 99% of the signs are spelled correctly. Contrary to other past "parties" around the country. lmao

response provides an insight that is both disturbing and yes, troubling. Disturbing because it appears Gov. Walker's conversation with "Mr. Koch" is the unvarished truth. If Gov. Walker spoke the truth with "Mr. Koch" then the concentration of power in this country has reached a troubling and dangerous social and economic balance. "Mr. Koch" can have a direct conversation with the leader of the State of Wisconsin and meanwhile the working stiff has to resort to protesting on the streets to be heard.

The fact is, the unions have offered economic concessions.  Republican or not, Gov. Walker intentions on the surface are insincere if not duplicitous. I distest liars.

To be fair, President Obama has not endeared himself to his constituents either with his lackadaisal criminal enforcement approach to the whole Wall Street scam. No one on Wall Street who stole trillions from hard working Americans have suffered except of course Bernie Madoff. Mr. Madoff only went to jail because he stole from wealthy clients.The Government both Democrats and Republicans are showing they are beholding to Wall Street interests and if this bullshit continues, main street will riot. Today, President Obama shoveled more bullshit with his non-defense of the "Marriage act". Whatever that means, it comes down to, Obama is playing a ruse.

I cannot believe I am speaking like an anacharist but right now I cannot remember being so disappointed with both parties since TARP. Meanwhile I am investing in oil, sugar and chocolate and staying away from Wall Street bullshit and their phony baloney economic recovery.

maybe I've misjudged you & you're not quite the "jingoistic martinet" I've thought you to be-------LOL !

with me, always. Gov. Walker even joking about infliltrating protesters with troublemakers to cause mischief that may result in lives being harmed is contrary to the rule of law, the principles of fairness and is irresponsible. Who does Gov. Walker think he is, Qaddafi?
