They should ALL be brought up on charges. The one that shocked me most should get the stiffest penalty. Both figuratively, AND literally:

WAUKESHA, Wis. â€” Gov. Scott Walker, whose decision to cut collective bargaining rights for most public workers set off a firestorm in a state usually known for its political civility, easily held on to his job on Tuesday, becoming the first governor in the country to survive a recall election and dealing a painful blow to Democrats and labor unions.

Mr. Walker soundly defeated Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee, the Democratsâ€™ nominee in the recall attempt, with most precincts across the state reporting results. The victory by Mr. Walker, a Republican who was forced into an election to save his job less than two years into his first term, ensures that Republicans largely retain control of this stateâ€™s capital, and his fast-rising political profile is likely to soar still higher among conservatives.

Post by: 5412 on June 06, 2012, 08:21:41 AM: Hi,

Two things today.

I felt the NYT just could not help themselves and had to use the word "survive". How about "stomps!"

Second is a personal observation. I went to school with a kid we called Skippy. He was unique in the fact his parents had died and literally the day his older sister became 18 she became his legal guardian, she raised him. Believe me, in those days things were much different. I seriously doubt she ever applied for or received a dime from the government.

In any event, Skippy moved to WI as an adult and got very involved in scouting. Come to find out Scott Walker was one of his eagle scouts. That might not seem like a big deal but I can add this. When my oldest son was trying to get into a service academy we learned that those who became eagle scouts were given special consideration. Now each congressman has different criteria, we lived in GA and my son got his appointment by Sam Nunn who was head of the armed services committee at the time. I figured if Sam believed eagle scouts were a big deal then they must be.

Skippy has since moved south but was proud to say he was invited and went to Walker's inaguration.

I watched his speech last night and Walker sure is impressive. Wonder how well a Walker Rubio tickets would be?

regards,
5412

Surely this is an abuse of the recall system.

Canada does not have any recall, sometimes I wish we did but this shows how recall can be abused.

I'm wondering though about the Senate, if the Senate is now a majority democrat how much can Walker get done?

The dems may be seen as obstructionist, which could hurt them in the long run.

Post by: FreeBorn on June 07, 2012, 12:53:04 PM: I have never been to Wisconsin but I had a thought, how nice it would be to go there to Madison and take a walk around the Capitol grounds in the beautiful weather and just take in the profound absence of bongo drums, potsmoke and patchouli in the air. That would be really nice.

If I were to do so I might be contemplating a Walker Presidential run in '16.
That would be nice to. :II:

I would vote for that. Walker is a novel politician. He did what he said he was going to do. 99.9% of the Congress critters talk the talk but when they get there they do not walk the walk. All of the RINO's including Bonehead need to go and get some new blood in there.
