Yes, it is a mandate.

Walker: Hi; this is Scott Walker.

Koch: Scott! David Koch. How are you?

Walker: Hey, David! I’m good. And yourself?

Koch: I’m very well. I’m a little disheartened by the situation there, but, uh, what’s the latest?

Walker: Well, we’re actually hanging pretty tough. I mean—you know, amazingly there’s a much smaller group of protesters—almost all of whom are in from other states today

Walker: So this is ground zero, there’s no doubt about it. [Talks about a “great” NYT piece of “objective journalism.” Talks about how most private blue-collar workers have turned against public, unionized workers.]…So I went through and called a handful, a dozen or so lawmakers I worry about each day and said, “Everyone, we should get that story printed out and send it to anyone giving you grief.”

Koch: Goddamn right! We, uh, we sent, uh, Andrew Breitbart down there.

Walker:Yeah.

Koch: Yeah.

Walker: Good stuff.

Koch: He’s our man, you know.

Koch: [Laughs] Well, I tell you what, Scott: once you crush these bastards I’ll fly you out to Cali and really show you a good time.

Walker: All right, that would be outstanding. [*** Ethical violation much? ***] Thanks for all the support…it’s all about getting our freedoms back…

Koch: Absolutely. And, you know, we have a little bit of a vested interest as well. [Laughs]

Walker: [Blah] Thanks a million!

Koch: Bye-bye!

Scott Walker Recall: Judge Denies Governor's Extension Request
02/18/2012 Associated Press:
A judge has denied Gov. Scott Walker's request for a two-week extension to review recall petition signatures, saying the election is likely to proceed.
the John Doe investigation -- dubbed "Walkergate" by Democrats -- that has already resulted in #.."charges against six of Walker's top aides. The probe by the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office is reportedly focusing on whether staffers who worked for Walker did political work with taxpayer money. Walker previously served as Milwaukee County executive.

The working people were being starved by the public unions, as well as local govt. In their own words:

“Our Teamster Local No. 200 has been unresponsive on many issues and we no longer care to have them represent the Water Utility Employees,” wrote Brian Schultz, a water utility operator, in the employees’ petition. “Also, over time, responsibilities, duties and skill levels within the Water Utility have increased and grown apart from the main body of employees that Teamster Local No. 200 represents.”

Schultz said the employees “want to cut out the middle man. With strong leadership and open communications there should be no reason for a union in public employment.”

Working people have a job because the public unions were defeated.

According to a Bloomberg report, Wisconsin is losing jobs. Didn't Walker promise 250,000 new jobs?

Oh that's right. Never let facts get in the way of an opinion.

And you would have thunk the public union faithful could have spelled it right. Remember their was a study bankrolled by the public unions that they get paid more because they are smarter than the unwashed public......

Walker should NOT be a proud man right now. When a large segment of WI is set to vote him out and are daily giving him the finger, he is nervously walking the perp walk among his so-called friends begging for money to help him out with his legal defense. Now tell me, this is NOT a good image for a Governor to have. As a governor one would expect the citizens to be proud of him, but not in WI case. And thousands can't be wrong. Walker's picture is not going to be put up anywhere prominent in the Guv's mansion I am certain.

No, if you had any facts you would know that the total Union membership in Wisconsin in only about 300,000, only about 14% of the total employed in the state. This is the fake argument that Walker has set up and that people like you have swallowed without any question. You have fallen for the oldest sales technique in the book, the bait and switch. Walker doesn't care about you - he cares about his larger donors and the wealthy class he hopes to become part of when he leaves office. You are just fodder to him. And the large segment panamarine speaks of would be called "true Wisconsinites who know BS when they see it."
