END OF MESSAGE

willywonka4u5646 reads

So the Wisconsin GOP decided to come to Washington, DC on Wednesday to collect some lobbyist dollars from the BGR Group. (the B in BGR stands for Haley Barbour). So a few thousand people decided to send them a welcoming party.

First we protested in front of the Homer Building where the BGR Group is located. That didn't last long, because soon we went inside the building, effectively occupying the lobby for about an hour. After some time, the police politely asked us to leave, and we did, shouting "we'll be back!" only to find that our numbers had tripled outside the building.

We then headed on over to the White House to let President Obama know that we're a little pissed off. Someone said, "hey, isn't the US Chamber of Commerce across the park? Wanna drop by?"

Indeed, we did. Protesters held the doors open, and we occupied the lobby of the US Chamber of Commerce for about a half hour.

Eventually, we left, forcing them to close their doors for the rest of the day. We returned in front of the Homer building and protested some more. It was a hoot.

I have been an activist my entire adult life, and I have never EVER seen protesters this aggressive before.

Wanna keep playing this game Republicans? Go right ahead.

Getting some more FOT, (fuck off time), on the taxpayers' dollar again, huh. willy, you're fucking shameless. Hope you lefties picked up all your trash before you went home. Otherwise, the taxpayers will have to pay overtime for the sanitation workers to police up the crap you left behind.

This protest was after work hours, and we left the Homer building as prestine as when we arrived. Too bad, I'm sure the janitors could have used the overtime.

Speaking of shamelessness.

over many years in private industry and several years in a union, that unions, and union members, don't do ANYTHING "off the clock" or "after hours".
If their not getting paid for it, THEY DON'T DO IT!

But of course, that's just an observation from a republican, right wing conservative, union basher.

are you really suggesting that 2,000 union members protested on the clock?

...from redstate.com, a conservative website.  You swallow what Fox News says like a fydolla ho doing bukkake.

If Wisconsin Republicans are so far off on this item, why are we supposed to believe them on the budget numbers?

Like Charlie...

They think everyone should understand them, sympathize with them, and be totally behind them, when in reality....

Like Charlie...

We know they are over paid, egotistical maniacs who think they are "entitled" to their jobs. And the more they talk, the dumber they sound. And...

Like Charlie...

And we are really just ready for them to just STFU

Snowman39, Holeydiver & last, but, not least, white supremacist Fair_Use, are gonna strip naked & do a "circle jerk" to Governor Wanker poster, pictured below. Pathetic. They KNOW the putz is gonna be recalled so they're angry & scared.

I'd bet them also about Walker being recalled, but, unlike GaG, doubt if they
could afford it-----LMAO !

I'll give Priapus credit for making a wager like a man. You OTOH want me to subsidize you for your failure to amount to anything in life and think you can dictate terms.

As usual my answer to you is "Fuck off" I will expound on this tomorrow when I can give you a bit more of my attention. I have more important things to do right now like drinking and gambling. I wonder if I can get my bookie to give me special odds because I am drunk, and not responsible for my actions? Not fucking likely, about as likely as me giving Willy odds because I make more money than he.

do you really think anyone will buy this bullshit?

If you actually have the balls to make a real bet, with real money according to the terms that me and your friend have agreed to, than feel free to step up to the plate. If not, then please just STFU.

You know the terms that Pri and I agreed to, and for the record Pri didn't start some sissy shit about who makes more money. If you don't have the balls to put your money where you mouth is, fine. Using your logic, I think I am going to sue the NBA for making the Nets to high and the competion too talented.

You really are a ball-less fuck, and as I stated before, "you are not trustworthy enough to make an honest wager" Pri's word is good enough for me, your's is not. If you actually reach between your legs and find something besides a gash, I will be more than happy to wager as much as your government salary will allow you to wager. The terms are as agreed between Pri (a lib with cajones) and myself, with the exception that considering your lack of integrity, I will insist on someone that the two of us agree is truestworthy to hold the bets. Your promise of payment is worthless to me.

I can think of several people on this board I would trust to hold our wager, even several "libs" have enough credibililty IMO to trust with a few hundred bucks, that is "if" you can scrape that much together and have any courage of conviction. I doubt that you meet either criteria.

Gee GaG, I never thought the idea of you giving some money to a children's homeless shelter would produce such vitriol. You made yourself look like a coward and an asshole all at the same time. Don't worry, Willy hasn't given up hope on you yet. But, you should really see a shrink about this Narcissism problem you have.

So, see above my offer. My trustworthiness wouldn't even need to be questioned. All the either of us would have to do is post a picture of the check made out to the charity in question. Hell, if you want me to mail the check to Pria first, and have him verify it, that would be cool with me if Pria doesn't mind giving me a mailing address.

The ball is in your court, GaG.

you think I'm gonna buy that, well hey, I was born at night, but it wasn't last fucking night, willy. Your shift must finish at 2:00pm for you to do all that protesting in the daylight hours. Otherwise, it was after sundown by the time you got to the Chamber of Commerce building, and we know protesters don't operate in the dark. No TV cameras, and film at 11:00.

Apparently, a few hundred of your cohorts also got some FOT. I see some of your SEIU buds showed up as well. Anyone bother to get a permit for this demonstration?

For getting involved in peaceful protest Willy...

Personally, I believe efforts by Republicans have nothing to do with budgets, deficits or whatever nonsense they want to justify their behavior.  It's union busting and the attempt to eliminate a major donor to the Democratic Party.

I thinks the demise of unions have been a major contributor to widening gap of incomes between the have and have-nots and the stagnation of middle class incomes.  There is no advocate for the common man these days.  Corporations have enormous power and influence and they have been maximizing that influence for decades.  Corporate risk has been transferred to the public trough. Corporations have been given the same political rights as you and I. Corporations continue to receive tax breaks even though profits have never been higher and all the while, our country continues to rack up debt.

There is something wrong with this picture...
