Well, having been outspent 8-1 by the Koch brothers, the demos in Wisconsin have at least wrested control of the senate and so can much more easily defend and protect the citizenry from the predatory corporatism of a toady like Walker.

Another blatant lie. The fact is, Dems outspent Walker by several million dollars. Oh and the Wisconsin senate is adjourned until after the November elections, so they won't even have time to warm the seats before they're out on their asses again.

Lying for you is just like breathing, right? Just like Hannity or one of these auto-droning radio hacks? And you believe what you say? That's a condition known as "pathological."

The Republican advantage in ad spending is not just a one-week phenomenon. Dating back to November 1, Walker and his Republican allies have spent $12.3 million to run ads, more than double the $5.6 million spent by Barrett and his Democratic allies. Overall, more than $18 million has been shelled out to run recall related spots since the beginning of November.

He raised $30.5 million compared to just $3.9 million by his Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, according to data compiled by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.

The big spending was made possible in part by the landmark Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,

Since you're a total idiot and I'm in a charitable mood, I'll help you out here. Walker began raising that 30 million in Jan. 2011. Barrett's total reflects his direct contributions since he got into the race in March 2012. The timelines are completely whacked. The unions and other progressive special interests have been at it long before Barrett threw his hat in the ring.
Almost half of the $62 million spent so far has come from Walker. Campaign finance reports show that the embattled governor has spent $29 million on the race. Democratic candidates have spent around $4 million, with Barrett accounting for about $2.9 million of that total. The remaining money has come from outside spending groups, about $21.5 million from the groups that have reported their spending.

The Wisconsin Democracy campaign estimated that an additional $7.5 million has been spent by “issue ad” groups, but that figure is likely a conservative estimate, said the group’s executive director Mike McCabe.

No. And public employees had already agreed to start paying a portion of their health care and retirement costs before Walker put forth his budget. Which was fine by me. I am much less emotionally invested in this than you wish me to be, Whitey.

No one's mentioned that since paying union dues became optional, the public union has lost 50% of their membership?

No, that wasn't a typo. HALF.

I guess the People voted with their wallets.

Public unions are assinine to begin with, since their wages and working conditions are set by the people who made the rules.

Even FDR thought the idea of public sector unions was ridiculous.

It's pretty damn simple, really. Private sector unions are fine because if the thugs squeeze too hard, the host dies. Pretty damn self regulating. In the public sector, they just keep on jacking up taxes/bonding our great grand kids into bondage.

The best part of this is that even solidly blue states like wisky even get it. I think you will see the same thing happen in the U&R and cali, where the problem is way worse than it was in cheeseheadville. Fatboy is doing it in joisy and hopefully, next time around we'll get something similar in Ct.

Funny how one of the libs biggest allies, public sector unions, may end up being their downfall.

What's crazy, is that our fishwrap, who hands out their worthless endorsements to whichever D spend the most on advertising (I mean the San Francisco Chronicle thinks the Oregonian leans way left... it's bad), one of the political writers has been going scorched-earth on PERS (public employees pension) and the SEIU... way out of character. Dude points out that the Pew Center's numbers are messed up, and that Oregon nees the largest (percentage wise, not total, which would easily be California) increase in pension contributions of any state to remain solvent.

Beware big state government, as well as big federal government. Someone crunched some numbers, and figured that something like 47% of everyone in the state had a vested interest in PERS (personal, immediate family, etc.). The Ds win just about every election with their ungodly well-funded smear campaigns against any non-Ds, and have their way, and pay back the SEIU. Pretty fucked up.

But it gets better -- the legislature is on PERS. When the OBVIOUS conflict of interest was being shot down (in the 70's), they passed a law putting every judge in the state on PERS.

So, the two branches that can fix the mess both have vested interests in milking the taxpayer dry. Very very wrong, and it needs to be dealt with by a private citizen's review board (with no ties to PERS)... but you get mirked die in a mysterious hiking accident when you try to get anything like that going.

Something like 30% of the state budget now goes to making up the unfunded portion of the pension fund... and the pigs at the trough don't see a problem... not one that can't be solved with some good old fashioned "TAX THE RICH/CORPORATIONS" rhetoric... nevermind that we got Intel to expand, and Facebook/Google/Yahoo to move the server farms here by offering them tax breaks (plus the node where western and eastern fiber optic lines connect is out in nowheresville here).

And the proof for this statement dates wayyyy back in time to when the Corrections Department Head got sliced dead outside his office one night in a "botched robbery". Dude was set up and never even had time to draw his own piece. He was getting a bit to close to the corruption in the Corrections Department and had to be taken out. And the maybe corrupt DA in Marion County took forever to find a patsy errrrrr perp to hang it on. That message has been clear for well over 25 years, you fuck with shit against the government in this state on a huge scale and you end up dead.

Especially when huge sums of money are involved.

The PERS portions of most public salaries now make up over 33% of salary. This is paid by the employers.

The labor burden multiplier in Oregon for those PERS positions is about 1.65 times base salary for total benefit load.

Got to remember that the DA ( Dale Penn) who "prosecuted" the case went on to bigger and better things in state government, like heading the Oregon Liquor Control Commission ( another equally or more corrupt government agency) and some other shit..probably retired now drawing at least 150K a year or more in PERS pension....never did get the Corrections Department straightened out..there was that Iranian cocksucker who was the " Food Service Procurement" guy taking kickbacks of well over a million dollars for buying out of date food..booked it to Iran with his money and never coming back.

Hell yeah...Oregon still bans self serve gas pumping. Got to keep the $ 8 per hour crack heads employed. Actually, most of the people that pump gas are pretty hard working individuals. Plenty of people needing work so you don't have to hire tweakers.

Unless you have a diesel. It is legal to pump your own diesel, but the pumps have all these double secret codes the "attendants" have to input to make the fucking things work.

One of the reasons Oregon has some of the highest gas prices on the West Coast.

Nice KYOA there, Dago. He never said it was THE highest. Are you insinuating that forcing full service has no effect on the price?

Here in the U&R, we have the other state where folks are apparently to dim to pump their own, new joisy. Oddly enough, their gas is cheaper than ours. This is due to their low gas tax which prolly has to do with the fact that you pretty much can't back out of your driveway without going through a toll booth.

Most gas station attendants here just hand the nozzle to all you biker fags, because you start bleeding out your pussy's if even one drop spills out of the nozzle on your gas tank. Of course , you idiots can get it all over when you try to put it in. The gas station attendants don't want you cretin's smashing them in the face over such a huge mistake.

Reading is one of the things you have problems with I know, I said SOME of the highest gas prices you fucking corn holer. All those refineries up there and you still get oinked on the gas price, sucks to be you for that, or for any reason really.

There’s no guessing involved whatsoever. This thoroughly dysfunctional court will rubber stamp anything Scott Walker wants. One of the justices called the chief justice a “bitch”, and put his hands around the throat of another female justice. Another one ran a completely unethical campaign of false accusations against the incumbent. Another sat in judgment of cases involving her husband’s business. The entire court needs to be replaced.

Gotta wonder about the idiocy of liberal judges. What fucking "right" is being abridged by the law’s application of these prohibitions on union activities? Does this fool believe there is a right to belong to a union? And even so, nothing in the law blocks a government employee from belonging to a union or associating however the hell they want. The law simply spells out how salary and benefits will be negotiated.
Colas also said the law violates the equal protection clause by creating separate classes of workers who are treated differently and unequally.
No shit...what, the collective bargaining rules should apply to those who do not collectively bargain? WTF? You have to wonder what this twit would think of the fact that the federal government prohibits collective bargaining for the majority of its employees or that nearly half the states prohibit public sector collective bargaining at all...

This idiot alone believes that limiting collective bargaining for public employees is an infringement of some constitutional right.
