Lefties = Evil.

Bullshit. Gov. Walker's budget is good until mid 2013 regardless of the recalls. WI is taking "advantage" of Gov. Walkers budget and we've lost jobs every month since. Gov. Walker also called two special sessions on the premise of job creation. With those special sessions we got such "job creating legislation" as making earn a buck illegal.

Well, I just took a job offer in Minneapolis. It looks like I will be missing this years run in the Milwaukee area. Without divulging too much, the stream is near Milwaukee. There are a few gems in the door county area. Hopefully you can time it right Jer and hook a few!

If I remember correctly I fished down by Grant Park one year when I was a kid.

Yeah, I really like Minneapolis. Much bigger, cleaner city and closer proximity to good fishing. I have no idea where I'm going to look for an apartment yet. Crashing in St. Anthony hood for a few weeks till I get my feet wet. Will be working in the hospitals in Minneapolis and the office is in Bloomington. Thoughts? Gladly hear them over PM. Sorry for the hijack.

The iron mine is dead in North Wisco.

Who killed that?

And the slow death of Northern Wisconsin continues.

Summary: “Sen. Schultz (One Enviro Repub) and the Democrats decided to stand with environmentalists against job creators,” he said. “We let something slip away.”

Actually, they also fucked over private sector unions as well. 80% of the jobs were going to be unionised labor. I guess public sector jobs and unions are the only thing that really matters to Wisconsin Demoleftists. I can't wait to hear Degranged scream about how Scott Walker is making Wisconsin bleed jobs now.

That does complicate the Dem recall campaign a little doesn't it.

Another clear example of obstructionism backfiring.

Well, no. If you are a public union member or a spoiled dipshit socialist (I know I'm being redundant) the choice is clear - Union Party candidate Kathleen Falk. If you are pretty much anybody else then it's Scott Walker. The Democrats (Public Union Party) have made it pretty clear that the only people who actually matter are spoiled teachers. Everybody else can go get fucked. Also today - some dipshit leftist Dane County judge (again - sorry for the redundancy) put the voter ID bill on hold. The lefty loons can't get anything done unless massive widespread fraud is envolved.

I seriously would like to hear all about how Scott Walker is killing the middle class now.

I guess the Union Thugs didn't have enough thuggery in them. Finally a bill that guts WI's environmental regulations doesn't pass. The Republicans don't have to fret too much though between the changes of WI Statute Ch 30 and the Wetland Law they've done enough damage to WI's environment to last a generation. If they really wanted to pass a bill that didn't gut environmental regulations and still met the needs of the GT then they would have allowed the Schultz and Jauch bill to be voted on.

Wow - DeGranged - I'm surprised you "swooped" so fast when you're obviously spending every waking moment emailing Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barret (the guy who lost to Walker in the last legitimate election) demanding that he stop dumping hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into Lake Michigan.

So - you think the enviro card is the way to win the recall? I could have sworn that at the top of this very page you were crying about job loss in Wisconsin. Which is it?

Man - I cannot wait 'til the riots!

I see you read the same talking points as several of the Republican Senators by bringing up MMSD. Just another way to deflect from the issue.

There was a bill that was ready to be voted on that wouldn't have gutted environmental regulations and still address GT's concerns. Unfortunately the Republicans wouldn't bring the bill up for a vote. Hell there was a bipartisan committee put together by Sen. Fitzgerald that had a bill with bipartisan support ready and he disbanded the committee to move the Assembly's partisan bill forward. Sen. Fitzgerald knew that the Assembly bill had no chance of passing yet he still moved that bill forward. If the jobs were so important to the Republicans they should have brought forward a bill that actually had a chance of passing.

Its just a anti business/ anti mining smoke screen to use the environment as a reason not to iron mine. The mines in Northern Minnesota are right next to the beloved BWCAW. Closer than the Wisco. mine would be to Lake Superior. Bob Jauch is toast. People up here are pissed. Those would have been union jobs, lots of em.

I love how people bring up mining in a different State. The laws are different so it's like comparing apples to oranges. However if you want to compare the two then look at the partisan bill that failed and at MN's mining laws. The Republican bill is much weaker than MN mining laws as far as environmental protections. The bi-partisan bill that could have been voted on if the Republicans would have allowed it is much closer to MN mining laws in terms of environmental protections. Hell forget the environmental protections and just look at the timelines between the partisan bill that failed and MN's mining laws. There is no way an adequate EIS can be completed in 360 days.

I've noticed that as well. DeGranged - you better take that RECALL WALKER sticker off your truck before you go up to "the cabin" for spring cleaning.

..and seriously - "deflection"? Tom Barrett litterally shits in Lake Michigan and you're fine with that? This dead mine didn't harm one molecule of the environment and your panties are still wadded, yet Barrett can dumb hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the lake and it's merely "deflecting" from the important issue of a mine not being built?? The sewage dump has been happening for years - it's nothing new, toolbox.

Hey dumbass - what do you think of the jobs numbers that came out today? Is Walker still tanking Wisconsin? I'll bet you're really depressed about how Wisconsin isn't going down the shithole.* Sure has been a tough week for the Socialist Suicide Party of Wisconsin.




*Cue classic and immediate DeGranged spin.

Weakling....

...and I know it's short notice and you've got some gay field trials thing going on, but there's a big Northern Alliance Assault Weapons party down at the Shawano Gun Club on Saturday. I think they're roasting a pig. I'll get ya in free - all you have to do is show up. I'll even throw some clay birds in the air for you.

Yes deflecting. What does MMSD have to do with the partisan mining bill that failed?

The job numbers are good news, finally. No need to take off any sticker of my vehicle or signs out of my yard since I don't have any.

Enjoy the target range. I'll be running the dogs on wild birds in prep. for the first trial of the Spring. Don't pull a Cheney.

Yeah - finally. I mean - it's been a whole year since the guy took office. I was expecting him to transform the state into a magical utopia right away, just like Obama did.


In one short year the state has finally stopped bleeding jobs (no thanks to the Democrat Socialist Suicide Party), teachers have had to deal with reality for once in their lives, I can carry a gun in my underwear and I will (hopefully) have to actually prove I'm me by the time the stupid-ass recall election comes around. Just think what the state will be like 3 years from now!

IMO - running dogs on birds out of season should beconsidered harrassment of wildlife and carry an extremely harsh and brutal punishment. I'm gonna bring that up to Scott and Jeff when I see them Saturday.

Please bring that up the Fitzy's and report back what they say.

My guess is his next play will go something like this. " I was all for the mine and I supported the mine, but we need to make sure that all enviro laws are in place and the Repubs shorted the process and would have allowed the mining companies to pollute the water and air".
In the next couple of days Sen Bob will say something like that. On a related note His recall is picking up steam.

Talk about apples to oranges, The MN mine bill is for copper, not iron mining. The only similarity is they both leave a hole in the ground. The Wisco mine I'm talking about is a iron mine. Nice try.


edit: Would have been an iron mine.
