2 people fortunate that the huge earthquake happened in Japan

Mommar Gadaffi and Scott Walker.....One evil and the other semi-evil in my opinion.

The main stories in the media are diverted from them.

Think Charlie Sheen isn't happy....He's an attention whore.

Should drive the price of oil lower too.

[Carseller4]

Scott Walker is a hero, anyone who stands up to Union Thugs, like he did, should be applauded.

[BigdaddyQH]

Another ridiculous post by another Union loving Liberal. That phony in the White House will do nothing to stop Gadaffi. He was never in danger to begin with. Obama is the biggest Chichen S**t to ever occupy the White House. He is also the dumbest. As far as the Unions go, they can shove it up their a**es. the American people have told these neo-socialists that they are finished as a power in this nation. Unions are a cancer on the economy.

[DwightShrute]

Scott Walker is a hero, anyone who stands up to Union Thugs, like he did, should be applauded.

He campaigned on what he was going to do. He was elected to do that job.

A politician following through on his promises. What a shocker!

The unions are in the vast minority in that state and should be ashamed of the things they are doing and saying about Walker. Same thing goes for those coward Democrats that ran away across the border and hid like little children. I hope their political careers are finished. How can anyone ever consider voting for them?

Don't like union lovers? TFB!

For someone being a supposed retired cop, large father, I would think you would be for unions.
Or did you just bite your lip and sucked up what your union officials got for you?

Dwighty, isn't Canada mostly union workers?

There I went and did it, started thinking again.

[DwightShrute]

Dwighty?

I think Canada is like 25% or so unions. Isn't the USA half that?

Regardless, I am definitely anti union over all but recognize there are good ones at the same time. I am against union tenure and unrealistic pensions especially if they are government unions. Always have always will be. No different than the politicians with their golden parachute pension plans.

[Reno Paul]

Hey BigDaddyQH......Yes I do belong to a union (Not a liberal) and that son of a bitch Walker and you are totally MEAN-SPIRITED and Walker's main goal is to weaken or even destroy the working middle class in this country.

Walker may have won this battle with that sneaky tactic pulled by the Wisconsin GOP last week, but not the war with the American working class.

Do you have connections with the Koch brothers BigDaddyQH ????

Walker is lucky just to be elected or else he would have been recalled by now.



Wisconsin Governor Walker: 43% Approval Rating

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker won his job last November with 52% of the vote, but his popularity has slipped since then.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Wisconsin Voters finds that just 34% Strongly Approve of the job he is doing, while 48% Strongly Disapprove. Overall, including those who somewhat approve or disapprove, the new Republican governor earns positive reviews from 43% and negative reviews from 57% of voters statewide.
In addition to the usual partisan and demographic breakdowns, it’s interesting to note that Walker, now engaged in a budget battle with unionized state workers, receives a total approval rating of 46% from households with private sector union members. However, among households with a public sector union member, only 19% offer their approval. Among all other households in the state, opinion is nearly evenly divided—49% favorable and 51% unfavorable.
It’s also interesting to note that among households with children in the public school system, only 32% approve of the governor’s performance. Sixty-seven percent (67%) disapprove, including 54% who Strongly Disapprove.
This may be partly due to the fact that 77% of Wisconsin voters have a favorable opinion of the state’s public school teachers. However, only 50% have a favorable opinion of the teachers’ union.

The survey of 800 Likely Voters in Wisconsin was conducted on March 2, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Seventy-three percent (73%) of Wisconsin Republicans approve of the job Walker is doing. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of the state's Democrats and 56% of voters not affiliated with either of the major parties disapprove.
Among those who voted for Walker last November, 77% approve of his performance, with 67% who Strongly Approve. As for those who voted for his Democratic opponent, Tom Barrett, 93% disapprove of how Walker is governing, including 88% who Strongly Disapprove.
Polling released earlier shows that the governor is struggling in the court of public opinion in his dispute with the state’s public employee unions. Other polling shows that voters in the state prefer spending cuts over tax hikes when it comes to reducing the state’s budget deficit.
President Obama is viewed favorably by 55% of voters statewide. Typically, a president’s reelection vote total is similar to his job approval rating. Therefore, if the election were held today in Wisconsin, Obama would be heavily favored to win the state’s Electoral College votes.

Large father likes to spew his shit and then runs off. Like a little kid who hits you
when you're not looking and runs away.

At least Dwight is a man and responds to a post. Sorry Dwight, I like making pet names.

[DwightShrute]

and Walker's main goal is to weaken or even destroy the working middle class in this country.

do you really believe that is his main goal? I believe he was elected to do a tough job and if that "weakens" unions in the process, then be it. They are just gonna have to their share to come in line with the rest of the country.

Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is insane. The USA is in a financial crisid in case you haven't heard. After all, what is Walker really asking the unions to do that is so horrendous?

He's a hero and I hope his courage spreads all across the US like wildfire.

Bradley Manning is a hero!!!!

This guy is a turd that fuked the people. He is even more hated than Hitler and there is not enough elderly white people in Wisconsin to insure this clown see's a second term.

I would question myself if you agreed. Now there's no doubt.

Scott Walker would have been a great snake oil salesman in the 1890's.....He seems a little deceiving in his language to me.....

He never ever mentioned screwing the unions when he was campaigning for Governor a little while back.

I don't trust him as far as I can throw an 800 pound gorilla.

ok so what would you do if you were Governor? I know you are a union guy and you can see that I am not. I certainly don't want to get personal with you but the question stands.

Would have at least listened to the other side and worked on a compromise instead of being totally ideological like Walker has.....The union was willing to make big-time concessions about pay, pensions and etc.

The collective bargaining issue is what drew the line in the sand.

Question answered.
