The good people of Wisconsin didn’t endure the rain/shine/sleet/snow, knocking on doors, just to let a low, down, dirty politician, continue to destroy the hopes and dreams for millions of Wisconsin’s citizens! Barrett will win!

My hopes are high… 😕

If Walker stays in because the citizens of Wisconsin are lazy ignorant, they get what the billionaires paid for.. but I still hope the Unions real patriots get it done!

No. The Koch brothers’ money and power are behind Walker. Wisconsin is doomed.

It will be a black day for Wisconsin, and EVERY state in the union, if Walker is not recalled! It will be construed as "money talks" and will deflate people, making positive action against the GOP tyranny very, very difficult. It would be interesting to see just how deep the billionaire pockets are if more GOPers were to follow Walker. The rules around election financing MUST be tightened up dramatically — out with Citizens United; no out of state financing for local state elections; full disclosure of ALL political donations.

The polls aren’t looking good, and the lack of support from the national Democratic party is a disgrace, but this is so important that the unions will be going all out. If you can, donate. I have.

God, I hope so!

The race is way too close right now. If you have a few bucks to spare send it to the Wisconsin Recall group. There are several ways to do it. Just don’t get caught by a fake site. I believe unitedwisconsin.com is okay or go through ActBlue. They also take donations for Alan Grayson.

It would be better to go to Tom Barrett web site because I tried to donate at act blue yesterday and it didn’t go through.

Everybody needs to give whatever they can, to wisconsin and the Obama campaigns. It’s extremely important for all so-called concerned Americans to donate to political campaigns. To counter act Citizen United we must support Liberal/Democratic Senators, Represenatives.

Yes….I’m waiting for the day to come.

Let me add, according to Thom Hartmann (and I have not looked into this any further at this time) Walker has gone down to Texas and picked up about $25 million to fight his recall from oil billionaires. Hartmann believes that the recall is a test case by republicans to see how much it costs to flood the news media and airwave with sufficient propaganda to win the election. It should be interesting because the Walker opposition cannot begin to match that kind of money.

I hope he is recalled, but I think it will be close and it will not surprise me if he is retained.

I voted with the majority.  OOPS!  I guess we underestimated the stupidity of US voters.

Please don’t forget to vote in the new poll.

Here are the results of the GOP bragging poll.

And here are your comments.

How about all the time.

Remember "Mission Accomplished"? Remember that it wasn’t?

They even spin their failures as successes, then tout them excessively.

Being north of the 49th and not having television, I voted ‘occasionally’. I was thinking more of the current crop of Greedy Old Pharts! With these guys, they have to articulate a foreign policy first and I have heard nothing except Manifest Destiny from Mr Flip-flop, Rmoney.

As to the previous crop of GOP, I would vote ‘excessively’ to a point of distraction. But no matter how you frame it, or sugar coat it, or wrap it up in the flag, their foreign policy is about making money for the military industrial complex. They try to wrap it up in values, but all they end up doing is wrapping it up in the value of money.

If GW had gotten Bin Laden, the RepublicanTs would have carved his face into Mt. Rushmore.

I watch Rachel Maddow everynight as I watched this video last night… She speaks for me….

I voted with the majority. For Republicans to even claim successes is excessive, because they paint their failures as success, and real Democratic successes as failure.

Don’t forget to vote in the new poll!

Here are the results of the George Zimmerman poll.

And here are your comments.

America loves the death penalty. It’s Government legally executes more of its own citizen than almost anywhere else (I wouldn’t call Syria’s treatment of its citizens legal, if you see what I mean), so how did this guy avoid that?

I think that charge is right. But WTF is a community watch commander doing running around with a friggin TEC 9 – those guns have no other value that to kill humans. He shouldn’t be armed all!! Now an innocent boy is dead just for walking through his neighborhood. Zimmerman is a human shithead who shouldn’t even have the right to have a gun, much less a concealed gun license. I’m also with Marva – let the jury have a choice because that’s so much better than a not guilty. You never can tell with juries – remember OJ?

Doesn’t the fact that Zimmerman stalked Martin after being told not to indicate pre-meditation? I don’t know, but I think it could.

 

Posted by Lynn Squance on April 19, 2012 at 7:42 pm. 

 

As I understand, in order to prove 1st degree murder, the prosecution would have to prove premeditation and they can’t. This was a crime of opportunity in that Trayvon Martin was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Zimmermann was told not to pursue by the police dispatcher but ignored this and as a result, a young man is dead that should not be. Anything less than 2nd degree murder, is in my opinion, a slap in the face of justice! My fear is that somehow, it will be jiggled down to a lesser charge and that will be just as big a crime.

 

Posted by Marva on April 18, 2012 at 4:57 pm. 

 

My concern when first announced is that it didn’t allow for lesser included charges. If he gets a sympathetic jury, they shouldn’t be forced to find him not guilty, when they could choose manslaughter or negligent homicide. Neither of those are sufficient, but they’d be way better than a not guilty.

 

Posted by Yvonne White on April 17, 2012 at 4:11 pm. 

 

1st degree is premeditated..so Zimmerman should get 2nd degree and FAUX News should be charged with 1st degree..

I voted with the majority.  Premeditation may have been a factor, but would be virtually impossible to prove.

Vote in the new poll, just posted today.
