Doomed man walking...Why Scott Walker is officially TOAST & you just haven't been told yet
Because FAUX is not carrying his press conference...

Stick a fork in it folks-its over for him & they know it.

:rofl:

7. U;p to 20% for 'leave contracts alone,' and a majority combined with "exchange for concessions."
The latter is bad enough, but still a majority against any move on bargaining rights is amazing on a Fox station's site.

22. The "defenders of freedom" are voting to REMOVE RIGHTS?
Did anyone ever tell them what a dangerous precedent that would be?

5. I scanned the big 3 when Walker was live...Faux didn't have more than a few seconds & only then with
Epic fail

That "punk" call has been deemed legit & his career is over. They know the game & this is a major blow to them...


I suggest a medal for the outfit-using thier tactics against them was-Awsome.

8. Nah
He'll still be Gov. He may be forced to the brgaining table over this, but he's not going to get recalled and isn't toast. DU does a lot of premature grave dancing.

13. He admitted to felonies in the call..
Of course thats a resume enhancement to some but...
He is toast & I'd wager big on it.

Does not mean the fight is over but Walker has already been tossed aside (IMHO).

Put it this way-Faux would drop a Presidential presser for a Walker presser & you know it. For them to not carry it live-and I may add to basically avoid him in topic-is deafening to my ears.

He's toast!

18. There felonies and then theres felonies
This is a politician we're talking about. They aren't held (unfortunatly) to the same standards as normal folk when it comes to crimes. That applies to both sides of the political spectrum.

What do you think toast means in this particular case? That he's lost relevance? That he'll be recalled/impeached?

I don't think any of those things will happen.

23. I agree that applies to both sides of the political spectrum.
However, when that applies to "our" side, politicians are only immune if they are furthering the interests of the wealthy (at our expense). Since this includes most all Democrats "our" side is seemingly immune too for the most part.

If a Democrat is actively fighting for the people's interests, the full force of the law applies. Always.

20. Like I said, DU history is rife with DU'ers declaring an individual, group or party as "toast"
49 times out of 50, they're wrong.

Hope this ends up being the exception to the rule, but I don't think it will be.
