Yes, I will be talking about the doings in Wisconsin….and yes…again!
There is a report on a poll out today about the governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker…….
Wisconsin voters already have buyers remorse about electing Gov. Scott Walker (R).
In a PPP poll released Monday, a majority of registered Wisconsin voters say that in a hypothetical re-do of last year’s gubernatorial election, they would vote for Democrat Tom Barrett, whom Walker defeated in November. That finding comes as Walker continues to stand firm on his budget proposals that would strip most state public employees of long-held collective bargaining rights.
Fifty-two percent of respondents said they would vote for Barrett if the election were held today, while 45% said they would vote for Walker. That’s almost exactly the opposite of what happened in the election, when Walker won the governorship with 52% of the vote to Barrett’s 47%.
The huge shift comes, not surprisingly, from union members. In releasing the findings, Tom Jensen at PPP wrote:
Thanx to Talking Points Memo for the update…….
All I have to say about this is…..see what happens when you are lazy and depend on morons on the tube to tell you where to vote? Maybe, just maybe you people should exercise your most important muscle….no not the abs or the pecs or the penis……but rather the BRAIN! If you would have used it more maybe you would not have the massive problem you have now…..if you pay attention to what you are voting for then sneaks and thieves cannot easily influence you……
You have NO one to blame for this but yourself and your damn laziness! Ignorance hurts, huh?
Crazy! Walker never campaigned on taking away collective bargaining rights. It’s still never a good idea to vote against your own interests, though.
Very interesting finding!
welcome SpinnyLiberal and thanx for the read and the comment……you are right…he never campaigned oin that but like all Repub candidates they push a lot of things except what they campaigned on……
Please stop by often there is always room for an exchange of ideas……
Thanks for the nice welcome! Great post. Those who voted for him were snowed.
You are welcome…like I said it is always good to have input and exchange and debate from others…feel free to drop by anytime….
Let’s see if they remember this when the next election rolls around.
Heh… why do you think they are ramming it through now? The American electorate has a very short attention span.
Terrant check out tomorrow’s post…it is along those very lines…..
I think they will be lazy yet again and let the tube do their thinking……
People believe what they see on TV – if they didn’t, corporations would NOT spend billions on TV advertising – and THAT is why you have to control what is said politically in the medias at election time. Anything else is just plain madness.
With the electoral/political system you have, you will ALWAYS end up with the sort of crap you are complaining about – it is pretty much a foregone conclusion!
As to the people being lazy… yes, many are But, if you want to achieve success, you simply CANNOT go around expecting people to change to suit the system – you HAVE to change the system to suit the people the way they actually are, not as you wish they were – and THAT is the flaw with almost all legislation – it seeks to change people with huge, cumbersome, expensive and largely ineffectual bureaucracy, rather than dealing with reality…
Good points…..and reality is NOT something humans deal with in a logical way……
We have very short memories.
Do not feel alone…..All Americans suffer from that malady…….
Lobo…you have such a great way of saying I told you so.
And I do do love saying it! LOL
