    Wisconsin has a labor force participation rate higher than the national average and even higher than the deep blue state of California.

    Someone like Walker will lead the next Republican dominated government we will have. The American people are fed up with liberals and their agenda.

    Yes? No?

    According to Walker, he turned it into a surplus! Was he lying when he said that? Given you admit there is still a deficit.

    http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin...ott-walker-says-he-turned-36-billion-deficit/

    Gov. Scott Walker says he turned $3.6 billion deficit into a $500 million surplus

    I voted for him 2X. Did not the 3rd time. A recall was in the middle.

    He is now in the hip pocket of the Koch's and can only do what they want from this point forward.

    Wisconsin's unemployment rate is 5.2%.

    The National average unemployment rate is 5.6%.

    Wisconsin has a labor force participation rate higher than the national average and even higher than the deep blue state of California.

    Exactly. Things are looking great here...it seems like everyone who truly wants a job has a job. The only people without jobs are the people who are comfortable sitting on their asses on welfare.

    And Walker is trying to gut welfare spending and up workforce development efforts to make the unemployment even lower by forcing people to get the hell to work. Its awesome....taxpayers LOVE this guy.

    Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure he does. I guess that is why Wisconsin has recovered every job lost in the Democrat-engineered recession of 2008......

    Walkers target of 250,000 jobs has been stalled. Not to mention in 2011 when Walker took office, the unemployment rate wasn't that bad; 6.9%.

    I don't think they'll have to move that far to the right, we're pretty Left as it is. We signed the Worst Economic Bill in US History(The ACA), Harry Reid became an obstructionist moron, making the next 4 years political hell. And now finally, we have a new Congress.(Well, 'new' in the sense of the word of a Republican Congress). Oh yeah, Cars for Clunkers. Buying off Corporations and then letting them sell cars overseas(How's about that war on Corporate America? Oops)

    Then Obama unilaterally imposed draconian laws on those who did hold their accounts on offshore banks, becoming even more of a cronyist than he already was.
    Obama's "legacy" at best will be as the man who made no legacy, who did nothing but being a corporate sell off. While appealing to the most radical of his base at all times.

    The worst thing the TP did, was advocate Fiscal Conservatism. If the Congress worked towards a Fiscal Budget, it would've passed. As it is, they passed a same-old, same-old budget. One that increased spending -_-. So yeah, if I were a spend-happy Liberal I'd be happy. Yes, the "rate" of spending has teetered off, but we still more than doubled it!

    Happy times in America, oh wait, 92 million out of work. If the "right" can be worse than that, then God HELP America(Not that I believe he will or can lol)

    Oh, so you prefer a lying inept guy who is really good at reading a teleprompter? You voted for the most divisive president in American history twice, so I would vote for a sea slug before having to endure another liberal loon

    He is so charmless that he, as a far right conservative, won over just about every independent voter in a blue state. So charmless, so dull....I guess that is how you win 3 elections in 4 years. I guess turning around a state from a liberal hell hole to a shining example of conservative leadership is dull and charmless.

    You can keep the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing charm....Ill keep the results, and Scott Walker is giving MY state results while you jealously hate him from afar.


    I also notice that you are too ashamed to admit where you are from. :roflol:

    universal healthcare would help small businesses, imagine not having to offer insurance to compete as every employee would already have it

    add a 1 cent tax to every dollar earned and it would be the supper wealthy paying for the majority of it

    by every dollar I mean all income, labored and unlabored

    I would pay 1 cent of every dollar gladly if it meant all Americans were covered

    I am not saying republicans would not try to force the small businesses and middle class to pay for it, but we should slap them back when they do

    So, Walker lowered the unemployment rate, reduced the deficit, cut taxes, cut spending, castrated the unions, and increased the labor force participation rate, yet you seem to think that's a bad thing.

    What planet do you live on?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Universal healthcare means that small businesses get screwed because they have to pay the fricking taxes to support all those freeloaders.

    Walker gets exonerated. But look for more attacks on the one candidate who has faced down the left and
    governed his state responsibly.

    You are giving Walker a pat on the back about jobs, but you haven't taken in the whole picture; http://host.madison.com/news/opinio...cle_629cc7c9-6be6-5627-8ad9-61cab30e7f76.html Also, anyone can apply austerity measures to a system and make it appear everything is all rosy. But time will eventually show the dark side of austerity, the same way it happened in Greece. Cutting taxes, cutting spending will eventually catch up to you. Economies cannot continue to grow with that kind of medicine. Walker should take the lessons of Greece; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81BD8GkwblA

    Austerity won't necessarily kill you today, but tomorrow is another day, unless he makes some radical changes. Just look at what happened with the big failed Kansas austerity experiment.

    It's between Walker and Cruz now.

    Either way, America wins.

    Maybe Scotty should invest some of that money into creating some jobs fixing the roads. Last time I went home that drive between Iowa and Madison was a rough one.

    I talk to folks all the time back there who say that is not as good there as the repubs like to tell everyone.

    Really, look at the 1920-1921 depression of Warren Harding practicing austerity that never gets much attention. Then comes more of the same with Calvin Coolidge and his depression with austerity. Fast forward to Kansas governor Brownback and his austerity nightmare. Look what happened with austerity in Greece; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81BD8GkwblA I mean how many austerity examples is it going to take for the right wing to wake up?

    Walker has a lot going for him and the left's obvious fear of him makes conservatives grin ear to ear.

    The really funny thing about this to me, is that Obama once said that the next President will be someone youthful who gets people excited. Back then, I thought to myself, how can he not think it will be Hillary? But, perhaps Obama will be proven right on this one thing, though I doubt he realized he was talking about a Republican...
