This sounds like a man who is afraid.

Walker to Wisconsin unions: No negotiation, no compromise

http://www.thedailypage.com/daily/article.php?article=32337

<snip>

If anyone thought Gov. Scott Walker -- in his frantic push to extract unilateral concessions from state employees and break the back of public employee unions throughout the state -- could not possibly be more arrogant, they were wrong. Walker took this aspect of his character to a whole new level late this afternoon, in a press conference in his office.

In an appearance that lasted all of 10 minutes, including questions, Walker insulted the Democratic members of the state Senate who fled the state today to prevent passage of these measures, belittled the tens of thousands of citizens who've flocked to the Capitol in protest, and unaccountably claimed the mantle of overwhelming public support for his agenda.

"These are bold political moves, but these are modest, modest requests," Walker asserted, of proposals that would completely strip public employees of their right to collectively bargain for anything except salaries (and to severely limit their ability to do even this), along with sweeping new rules that will make it difficult for their unions to survive. He said his office has gotten "over 8,000 emails" over the last few days and "the majority are telling us to stay firm, stay strong and protect the taxpayer."

In what he obviously thought was an effort to be diplomatic, Walker said the teeming masses of protesters, who, even as he spoke, packed the Capitol inside and out, had "a right to be heard." But, he added, they don't have the right to "drown out" the millions of state residents he claims support his moves.

So, Scotty, if millions of Wisconsin residents support your moves, where the fuck are they?

What a slap in the face. This clown is in denial.

Let's see these millions of state residents who support the POS.

and that was ALL! I must say they were either exceedingly brave or exceedingly stupid. Oh wait - they support Walker, ergo . . .

and REDS, to be honest.

And quite honestly, lemme see 8,000 emails, 30K people in the streets.

Can the Guv'nor do math?

Yes I am giving him enough credit to actually admit he has 8,000 emails.

Here is the math gov

For each email there are another three who agree, for every body out there, count 20...

Math. not a Republican value.

Oh and these are... rough marketing numbers.

Q. Did he fail to report how many emails opposing him, because those 8000 supporters would be lost amongst them, or because his filters ensured he(/his staffers) never saw them at all.

and he in fact was blaming foreigners. Or, more accurately, the international caliphate in league with the communist-socialists. Seriously.

used to drink wine on holidays with her sisters and they would argue late into the night contriving some wild stories. The peak of which was her connection of Hitler to Elvis Presley.

Beck is a mere amateur compared to her.

they're watching TV.

Perhaps English is not your first language and you're having trouble expressing your view?

:shrug:

How are things going?

We are sorry that your people have bad things happening there. We know your protest is much more dangerous.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

"These are bold political moves, but these are modest, modest requests"

his office has gotten "over 8,000 emails" over the last few days and "the majority are telling us to stay firm, stay strong and protect the taxpayer."

"do their stunt for a day or two"

"is more about theater than anything else"

"If anyone doesn't know what's coming, they've been asleep for the last two years."

:puke:

"Call your legislators and tell them you support Gov. Walker."

I guess money can do anything here.

Have them stand up and be counted.

I urge Duers to do the same to balance out those emails of support.

Get real Hosni. You and your pubbie allies are on your own.

won't stand a chance against real people demonstrating.

This gives me hope that people are finally going to realize that protest must be physical, seen, instead of their belief that if they protest online, on a blog or in comments, they've 'done enough'.


During the Town Hall fiasco's regarding Health Car--er, Insurance Reform it would have been nice to see the left organizing the same type of bus-in's that the Koched-up teabaggers used.

It also would have been nice for our 11-dimensional chess players, all of them, in the White House to realize that propaganda and volume was not the people's actual choice.
How they missed that about 70% of the people wanted something like Medicaid-for-all (Single Payer, Public Option, whatever other term) is astounding,
that, or they intended all along for a Romneycare program;

or they're just plain dumb, which I cannot believe.
