Isn't the state senate and House passing these? Or is Walker using Executive Order? Certainly if Walker is using Executive Order, it is certainly a dictatorship and if he is, I would not be shocked. If it is voted on and passed through legal means, it just sucks. And if that is the case, then the voters need to vote in Democrats.

... it sure feels like a dictatorship.

We have a governor looking at a major loss this fall, so he's treading carefully (and it's not working), plus a house and senate that are afraid of the negative coattails Corbett can generate.

Even so, it's pretty bad...

The Wisconsin progressive ideology has been usurped by what is kindly called, a college dropout....scott walker ( I will never capitalize his name, he does not deserve the dignity). This cretin who walks in sync with the likes of paul ryan and ayn rand, has done more harm to my State than any other past embarassment, like joe mccarthy. Anyone who thinks that these fringe freaks believe in democratic principles and process on which this country is founded are in for a rude awakening when they pull their heads out of the dark dank hole in which they have stuffed them. I refer to the college dropout as "kindly" because it is a ill kept secret that he was "asked" to leave Marquette University after he was caught cheating. If he thinks he can side slip this issue when running for president he is, as usual, got his head in that self same dark dank place. This is the kind of governance you get when you elect intellectual midgets to office. Machiavelli is known to have referred to his treatise "The Prince" as his "whimsy". I'm sure he would be unsurprised at the "whimsy" sitting in the governors seat in Wisconsin.

Look at Colorado, the Republicans messed up local government and local public schools, and the state populous had enough, started electing Democrats and legalized Marijuana on their own accord!

With or without the possibly stolen elections, and certainly with criminal campaign activity (6 of Walker's close associates or underlings convicted), the half of the state that did not vote for him deserve this? Even the children of the people who did vote for him don't deserve to have their futures destroyed. I don't think the country deserved George bush, and our state deserves a hell of a lot better than this weasel.

Republicans treated the 2010 mid-terms as an electoral coup, not a temporary transfer of power. They are subverting the electoral process and the courts to maintain their political mafia. If progressives and moderates sleep through the 2014 mid-terms again it will only get harder to dislodge Republicans from the levers of power by majority-democratic means.

Democrats need to recognize that the old rules no longer apply and that -- like it or not -- they're now engaged in a ruthless political "total war" for the soul of our country.

......to fight like one. That's when the wing nuts start playing "the victim" and you know you are winning.

Once you get 50.00001+% then you go and keep it at all costs, which are what the WI Republicans are doing.
