Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson: Governor Walker is a C

Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson, a member of the "Wisconsin 14", told TheUpTake's Tracey Pollock that, at first, he and his colleagues believed whispers that Gov. Scott Walker would seek to eliminate collective bargaining rights for public sector employees were mere rumors. Walker hadn't campaigned on that pledge, and the move seemed too extreme. Yet, says Larson, when the details of Walker's push emerged, it became clear that this had come straight from union-hating corporations that funded Walker's campaign, and that the governor was merely a puppet.

People need to get perspective on what's happening. The private sector (including guys like the Kocks, Waltons, Bushs, Cheneys & Walkers) have ridden too high on the deregulated financial wave created by Regan, and have broken their boogie boards on the crushing shores of reality. They've destroyed our financial system, and no amount of bailout duct tape is going to fix it. They don't know how to live broke (like the other 90% of us) so they're prepared to steal what little we have to stay rich.

@Overbruce This is what your side does when it loses in a DEMOCRACY. the people voted for Walker, DEAL WITH IT.

the voters wanted VOTER ID. DEAL WITH IT. and the voters want CONCEALED CARRY. DEAL WITH IT.

all your lying huffing and puffing won't get you anywhere. the heavier you breathe the less people listen to your lame zero fact holding arguments.

@tbell20101

yeah ok left wing extremist nut job. enjoy the defeat loser.

This guy is nothing but a liar and a thief. He runs around spreading false information about the Walker plan, Walker's ideas, etc. He will get recalled in January though. It's a grassroots effort. He thought by not participating in Democracy he was pleasing his voters, i.e. hiding in Illinois and then refusing to vote on Voter ID. But i'm sure he's enjoying the taste of defeat, that little extremist.
