can't believe they got this many people in MADISON? WOW! this is like the berkeley of the midwest! 5 thousand people? sheeeeshhh!

unbelievable!

[ConservativeNow]

In all honesty larissan, I think the 5 thousand number was conservative and was probably more like 7 thousand. In any regard the turnout was impressive. I'm not sure how many were actually residents of Madison. I think many of the participants hailed from the southern half of Wisconsin.

Maybe instead of worrying about the extension of entitlements (which you would benefit from if you become sick or old or lose your job) you should worry about large corporations not paying any taxes. Why don’t you protest in front of Exxon or GE ever? Hm, because you’re sheeeeple and don’t think for yourself!

[carolynenoble]

"An extension, like your arm"???? Is she talking to special ed kids?

[carolynenoble]

Obama wants the wealthy to pay more taxes...not these poor @#$ people. Why are they protesting? I just don’t get it.

All those turds in one place. This is gonna overflow the Madison sewage system.

I guess I'm just confused, Maybe I have been out of the loop to long serving the country abroad that I just don't know Americans anymore..

The state has no money, Public sector makes more then private with better benefits, Conflict of interest between government and the unions, unions KNOWN to harass very harshly and even cause death and extreme damage to property

Unions don't make jobs, they take money from middle America. Big bis does create jobs, most of them. Good luck WI getting jobs now!

Blah!!! I can't listen to all of their speaches. So robotic like. Depressing and boring. So memorized. I got through 2 minutes though.

@Rasta53555 I feel bad for alot of those police officers and firemen that voted for that twit. They are regretting it. But hey, everyone makes mistakes. That bad thing with the very few hardcore teabaggers is they never learn from mistakes. I really don't think they have the capacity.

[Rasta53555]

Scott Walker will never be able to Govern this state after he has lied to Wisconsin! He has lost the confidence of the people of Wisconsin! "If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854."

— Abraham Lincoln
