@RecyclesometimeAre you serious? They only let ONE SIDE talk. They even edited an interview with the "other side" to make it appear that the opposition was "speechless" when asked a question by that side.

Typical. If people agree with what is being presented, they think it's fair and neutral. It's like the Fox News/MSNBC wars.

I guess the sympathetic music just created itself.

@savgal1211 you're the last person that should be lecturing about intelligence, my dear. You can come back after you learn how grammar and spelling work. You're a prime example that we need better funding in our school system.

Just because you THINK your state is the cat's meow doesn't make it so. Get some history behind you, eat a big Midwestern bronco burger steak sandwich and then get back to me. Wisconsin is a nonsense word. It doesn't make any sense. Might as well call your state Fiswocowens. Same thing. No meaning. The reality is this Wisconsin = West Kansas pronounced wrongly and interpreted as some holy grail of territorial meaning and integrity. What a bunch of Midwestern hams and country bumpkins!

Yes, it is time to wake up!

This is the begging of a grassroots movement that will save the middle-class...a movement that is not left or right, red or blue, Democarstic or Republican...it is a movement that is "WE THE PEOPLE!"

Will Wisconsin take its position as a world leader in technology, freedom, good government, and morality. Or are we destined to be in competition with third world countries with backward corrupt leaders, and bad healthcare, poverty, racism, crime, and pollution. Thanks Weasel Walker and republican tea baggers.

[gmontez25]

Workers love yourself and your families, stop worshipping the rich. They only care for lifting your money out of your pocket. When they get the unions, then the average joe will not have a chance. Don't be so stupid and shallow. I know the slick weasel has you thinking he cares about you, believe me he doesn't. We know in Milwaukee County and we told you. He just plays people against each other, and then rewards and selflessly promotes himself. He is an uneducated, unprincipled jackass.

[gmontez25]

Don't be ignorant. You do not want to take our world backwards republican teabagger sympathizers. You want to be world leaders, or you will be left behind. Constant war and bigotry will not give you security. The nuclear bomb that you will have to use to maintain your bigotry and ignorance will destroy the whole world. All of you cannot get the spaceship to Mars. Wish you could, but you'll have to stay here and be equal with everyone else. Loving is okay, and it is the better way.

Screw the union it just a way for them to slack off at work while being over payed. And that's my opinion.
