So how's the drive to recall Wisconsin GOP state senators going? If these new numbers the Wisconsin Democratic Party shares with me are accurate, it's already exceeding expectations in a big way. Graeme Zielinski, a spokesman for the party, tells me that activists working on the recall push already collected over the weekend 15 percent of the total necessary signatures needed to force recalls in all eight of the GOP districts Dems are targeting. He says that the party -- which is helping to coordinate and keeping track of outside efforts to gather signatures -- set itself a goal of 10,000 signatures for the weekend, and has already exceeded it by 35 percent. Zielinski also claims that recall forces over the weekend put more than 2,000 volunteers on the street to collect signatures. He also says volunteers have collected 26 percent of the signatures required in one district, and 20 percent in another, though he wouldn't say which ones, because Dems want GOP senators to fret that they are the ones in question. If these numbers are close to accurate, they are a surprising sign of the power of the grassroots energy uncorked by Scott Walker's union-busting proposals. Under Wisconsin law, a recall requires a number of signatures totaling 25 percent of the number that voted in the last gubernatorial election.

Stone, Would it be possible to create a "bullshit propaganda" category and move this thread there? Thanks.

What makes this article BS? From the article link: "UPDATE, 11:52 a.m.: A Senate Republican tells the Green Bay Press Gazette it's time for Walker to compromise: Republicans should be willing to meet Democrats halfway on aspects of collective bargaining that have little or no monetary impact, longtime Republican Sen. Rob Cowles said Monday evening. In a telephone conversation with the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Cowles, R-Allouez, said Republicans already got the lion's share of what they were looking for from unions in pension and health care contributions, and a compromise with Democrats on the rest of Gov. Scott Walker's budget repair bill is expected soon. GOP senator Dale Schultz has already called for a compromise, so that makes two. The key here is that Cowles, a Republican, is conceding that Walker has already been offered the fiscal concessions he asked for, and that the bargaining rights piece would have little or no fiscal impact." Many Republicans are going to have to choose between toeing the party line and staying in office.

Because it is a smokescreen to deflect attention from the actual recall of DEMOCRATIC Senators from WI. You leftards have nothing left but smoke.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.
Walker's popularity is in toilet, Republicans are looking for an escape route, and recall efforts are moving forward. Ignore at your own peril..
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Why do you think in such a "small" way? I never said "the article", I said "the thread". The entire matter is bullshit. Theater for the masses. Another phoney non-issue for the shills to argue about. Bread and circuses. Your time would be more wisely, more productively, and more meaningfully spent posting on the Charlie Sheen threads.
And the sheep will bleat their submission, Burma Shave.
Only with Democrats.

Thank you for sharing with me your thoughts on how I might more wisely spend my time - very conservative of you.

Actually LM .... no. Walker will hopefully crush this evil and vile union thug action down. Like the 15 second of fame "lawsuit" Ferret Mike was crowing about last week, this "phonery" will remained trapped in your mind along with the Goron Inauguration, Boosh / Cheney trial, the closing of Guantuanamo and vacating of the stupid 98 country mil indust complex interventionist activities. But keep dreaming.
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. (decided to retire the beatdowns on old worthless retread posters that are bozoed)
Well your first clue shoulda been it was written by the Washington Compost.....

Who pulled your string in this thread, Jag? Who wrote this incomprehensible shit for you? Byelsin of eLPee?
At the time you said it the entire thread was the article.

I'm just making fun of the LM types who blithely knee-walk on down the tardbot highway seeming never to hold their tard leaders to anything they say or commit to. Nothing too incomprehensible there Mike, even with the swirling purple haze:) (BTW.....how's the lawsuit going if you know?)

That's the problem with you. You never consider the future.

Hey dumbfuck how did your recall go. Down the toilet just like your messiah. Dumbass.
Yeah right you dumb fucker. You really are stupid.
You're going to need some kleenex come this November. Clueless Obama slurper.
Their moonshine still exploded, and they've lost all pressure. Sobriety is going to be hell for them.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
oh yeah ! Walker wins !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Seeing the others as fools,
Not knowing nor even caring,
They've become no more than tools.
