*promote

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Monday, January 23rd, 2012 4:34pm PST - promote requested by original submitter dystopianfuturetoday.

I watched a vid on this a few days ago, I think on Democracy Now, but it didn't have nearly as much info as this, this is an excellent clip because it's fairly honest about who actually organised the signatures, and goes into detail about the fundraising potential Walker now has.

A million people couldn't just have stormed the place and strung him up?!

Private company union: fights hostile management for better conditions; tied to market performance and can bankrupt company, ending its own existence, if left unchecked

Government employee union: elects its own bosses (politicians), not tied to market performance or results; never goes bankrupt, just screws taxpayers harder when they f**k up

P.S. You're the taxpayer.

Right QM. Because the people with the power have *always* acted with their workers best interest if they have the option of screwing them over for a few more dollars in their own pocket instead. Not.

Hopefully the people of WI will be able to keep their heads on straight despite what will surely be the ridiculously massive funds Walker will be receiving from every giant corporation/rich asshole with a spare million and anti-union views.

Yeah, kind of a heartbreaker to hear "recall elections could be held as early as this summer". Meanwhile the jackass in question runs free.

Take back the government!!!

100% astroturf. Unions have faked, bought, and lied their way to this total using national organizations. It is not a 'Wisconsin' result. This is the unions doing everything they can to try and save thier own butts because they know if Walker's policies work they are screwed - maybe for generations.

Color me unimpressed that the unholy union of SEIU, WEAC, the Democrat party and all the standard roster of leftists have managed to conjure up some signatures. Yawn. Their problem really is in an entirely different arena.

Their problem is that Walker's policies are WORKING...

"71 percent of Wisconsinites believe that the state’s public schools have either stayed the same or improved over the previous half-year. More than three-quarters of Wisconsinites expect the state’s economy either to get better or to stay the same in the next year, up from 60 percent during the height of the union tumult in March."

There's only so much that union bought astroturf can accomplished in the light of facts and reality.
