Attack on unions rights, shot down. Voter ID bill, shot down twice, held up in court and attempt to hamstring Obama’s election failed. Failed on promise to create jobs and repeatedly in fact last place in nation on jobs front. Tax giveway to corporations creating lost revenue. At least he was able to cut a billion dollars from childrens education to pay for his tax gifts to political donors and of course, ensure to produce more Republicans. Wisconsin had it’s chance and nobody to blame but selves. Sigh…folks have to stop getting their emotions and anger played like a harp in the moment…and look at long term.
Well, there are some sensible folks in Wisconsin and everyone, meaning the conservatives, that support voter ID bills are being duped with nonsense and played like a harp…and should read this statement repeatedly by the Dane County Judge that held up Walker’s voter id bill until they realize the meaning of what they’re supporting…thank God somebody gets it that can and did, do something about it…
“A government that undermines the very foundation of its existence – the people’s inherent, pre-constitutional right to vote – imperils its legitimacy as a government by the people, for the people, and especially of the people,” Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess wrote. “It sows the seeds for its own demise as a democratic institution. This is precisely what 2011 Wisconsin Act 23 does with its photo ID mandates.”

When I was in my youth I can remember when a judge was a judge! You took their decision as if it were made by god himself because we had abiding trust that all aspects were unbiasedly weighed and that a truly righteous judgement was acceptable to all. We didn’t have all this mumble jumble political manure that makes a judge, well not a judge. It’s getting so bad that today’s judge is somehow allowed to overrule the executive’s and legislative’s law making authority. I suppose government could just do what we did in the olden days – when a man asked for a raise and we felt that it wasn’t deserved based on performance we said NO. What’s the difference if it’s one person or 100,000 collective individuals, I would say if they all want to go in it together then it makes it that much easier to say NO to their demands. Seems to me with them collective folk’s wages being tied to inflation they better shut the honky dory up because once Romney gets in there and adds food and gasoline to the proper computation of inflation they’re going to miss out on a whole lotta bananas.
