He used the holiday weekend to sign a ton of new laws! Actually, his underhandedness and backasswardness are firmly planted in the current Pubbie political handbook, but boy am I glad I don't live in WI.

Guess he doesn't expect to survive the recall. Internal polling must be looking bad for him.

What's sad is that this is only a very small addition to the number of reasons I'm happy I don't live in Wisconsin.

“You could argue that money is more important for men,” he told Goldberg. “I think a guy in their first job, maybe because they expect to be a breadwinner someday, may be a little more money-conscious. To attribute everything to a so-called bias in the workplace is just not true.”


Oh Walker... Smiley: laugh

I am curious how Romney will handle this situation and whether he will support Walker or distance himself. Should be funny if he supports Walker and still wants a shot at presidency.

Two more months... two more months... he can't possibly do that much damage between now and then, right!?

**** I hope all those criminal investigations catch up with him.

Wait, so all abortion consultations are going to be broadcast live now? Is this a free public service or pay per view? What about doctor / patient confidentiality?

Today the AZ House voted to ban all abortions after 20 weeks.

Meanwhile the GOP keeps saying that women will come around once they realize this Republican "War on Women" thing is all drummed up by the media.

Prevent.

This is to add another wall preventing women from having abortions, because it keeps them from consulting with their own doctors in cases where they cannot physically reach them. It's actually one of the more disgusting aspects of the bills, imo, because it only realistically applies to women in the most dire circumstances.

If doctors are going to shame women into carrying their babies to term, it will be much more effective if they do it in person.

Duh.

Wait! Let me see if I've got this straight. So a governor signed bills which the state legislature passed and this is somehow strange? OMG! Alert the media! Stop the presses. We've got to make sure everyone knows about this this new thing which has never happened before!

You're kidding right? Talk about false outrage. And abortion? War on Women? WI passes a law which does exactly what Obama insisted every state could do when claiming that Obamacare didn't provide funding for abortion. And this is wrong? Do I have to go back to posts from you guys in 2009 when you all stood in lockstep insisting that no one was arguing for taxpayer funded abortion?

And AZ changed the weeks at which you can't have an elective abortion from 24 to 20? OMG! That is shocking!


What happened to the oft-argued point about abortion that as medical science changes we can do things like adjust the exact dates for things like viability, late term pregnancies, etc? So all of that was just a lie? Shocking!

I'm also a bit confused at the issue with signing laws that have already passed. Isn't this what happens for most bills? It's not as if he's just writing laws and then signing them all on his own. Not to imply that the bills are awesome, or should be in place, but signing them seems to be pretty bland and normal.

Yes, the voice of the majority of the people of the state of Wisonsin should obviously not be heard.

Amirite?

Are you arguing or agreeing with my comment? Or did you even understand what I was saying?

Xsarus asked why the outrage over simple signing of the bills. I attempted to convey tersely as possible that the origin of the bills did not represent the majority of the people, but merely the majority of the currently elected legislators, and therefore the signing was merely a symbolic gesture of ********** you" to the people of the state. I apologize if this point was not clear without me channeling Gbaji.

See, our political system doesn't allow us to re-elect new reps every week. So when you elect that state rep to a 2 year term, you're kind of saying "I'm happy with whatever this guy passes for the next 2 years" (or however long state rep terms are in Wisconsin). I realize this is a hard concept to digest, but it's at the heart of a representative democracy.

That notwithstanding, I hardly doubt that the majority of the population disagrees with the governor's political views. Most states have recall requirements that require a far smaller percentage to initiate a recall. That said, until the recall election, he is signing into laws the bills that the democratically elected state house/senate passes.

Edit: just typos

Of course, if he'd have campaigned on giant corporate tax breaks, destroying unions and restricting abortions, would he have been elected in the first place?

I'm not really sure you have a point that is relevant to me. The people complaining (whether they represent the majority of the state's population or not) are upset because these bills were passed by a republican controlled congress and signed by a republican governor, and in at least 2 cases, the bills in question directly negated previous legislation. I happen to think the items pointed out in the article suck and that the Gov. and his congress are probably ********** but I'm not a resident of the state, so I really couldn't care less atm.
