Quote of the Day - Ed Schultz Edition

All you right wingers...a little nervous aren't you boys !...what did you do with 27 million and your boy can't close..

Ed Schultz on Twitter about 20 minutes before the race was called for Scott Walker.   He really did look like he wanted to cry when he had to announce the Scott Walker was the first Governor in history to survive a recall vote.

He won by a larger margin then his original election.  His policies are starting to work.  The state is improving.  The unemployment is down, the property taxes were not raised for the first time in a decade, and the budget is getting under control.

I am reminded of this troll guy I kept seeing over and over at CPAC.  He said he was from Wisconsin.  Who knows if that is the truth, but all he did all weekend was sit outside, smoke, and engage conservatives in conversation in order to insult them.  He told me then there would be no way Walker would survive.

Gov. Walker on his Recall Win

My question is do the unions who pushed this recall have to pay back the state for all the money it wasted on this?  His reforms are working.  No teachers lost their jobs, their unemployment level has gone down, they have decreased property taxes.  People are not stupid.  They can see for themselves that things are headed in a better direction under his leadership.

Quote of the Day - Judge Davis Edition

“Counting the signature of Bugs Bunny is something only a lawyer could make seem OK."

Waukesha County Circuit Judge J. Mac Davis on the decision of  the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board to not check signatures turned in for the recall of Governor Scott Walker.  

About That "Journalist" That Punked Gov. Walker

A so-called journalist made a phone call to Governor Walker of Wisconsin pretending to be one of the Koch brothers, one of the left's favorite targets. The conversation lasted about twenty minutes. There wasn't really any gotcha moments in the phone conversation that went viral. The governor didn't say anything that he has not said publicly. In some ways it may actually be a good thing, obviously he never talked to him before.


But, what I find to be the most interesting is the person who made the phone call. His name is Ian Murphy.

So, 4000 rubes are dead. Cry me the Tigris. Another 30,000 have been seriously wounded. Boo fucking hoo. They got what they asked for—and cool robotic limbs, too.

Yes, he wrote an article on the troops. Which he called F*CK The Troops. He goes on......

Here’s where America’s military lust becomes a true perversion. If we truly valued military prowess, John McCain would be viewed as a failure. But duty alone is enough to inspire our gratitude. Hence the left’s tendency to obligatorily praise the troops while decrying the sum of their actions. Good thing, too, because this war is unwinnable

A real winner based on these comments. What I want to know is how exactly is this person considered a journalist? This article isn't journalism, it is opinion. Not that there is anything wrong with that if that is how it is identified, but be honest about it. Rush, Hannity, Beck, and others they are opinion guys. That is made clear.


Read the whole article here if you have the stomach for it. This man is a far left lunatic. Being against the war is one thing, talking about the troops who are willing to give their lives so he has the freedoms to say these vile things is totally another.
