Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Scott Walker

The victory in the lower court was short-lived. Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Scott Walker’s union busting bill did not break any laws, in essence, voiding a previous ruling by a lower court. The ruling claims;

The court ruled that Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi’s ruling, which had held up implementation of the collective bargaining law, was void ab initio, or invalid from the outset.

In its decision, the state’s high court concluded that “choices about what laws represent wise public policy for the state of Wisconsin are not within the constitutional purview of the courts.”

The court concluded that Sumi exceeded her jurisdiction, “invaded” the Legislature’s constitutional powers and erred in halting the publication and implementation of the collective bargaining law.

The court added that its role is limited to determining whether the Legislature employed a “constitutionally violative process in the enactment of the act. We conclude that the Legislature did not violate the Wisconsin Constitution by the process it used.”

And with that, Scott Walker’s wish to bust the unions of Wisconsin and take away the collective bargaining of public workers is back in effect. The newly controversially re-elected Justice – Republican David Prosser – also found in favor of Scott Walker and his Republican allys.

Republican Mice Played In Debate While Democratic Cat Was Away

Remember the old saying, ‘when the cat’s away, the mouse will play?’ Well last night’s Republican presidential “debate” showed seven, count ’em… seven mice running around the stage in New Hampshire, having a grand ole time. And with the cat – President Obama – out of town on a fundraising event, all seven mice took turns at attacking the cat, instead of showing the differences among themselves. After all, was it not a debate?

The lead mouse, Mitt Romney answered just about every question asked with the same answer: that President Obama “has failed to lead.” Mr. Romney, what is your answer to the economic crises we’re in right now? “Mr. Obama has failed to lead.” Mr. Romney, what will you do about jobs? “Mr. Obama has failed to lead.” Mr. Romney, what color is your tie? “Mr. Obama has failed to lead.” To be more exact, Romney said;

“This president has failed, and he’s failed at a time when the American people counted on him to create jobs and get the economy growing.”  Any one of the people on this stage would be a better president than President Obama.”

And the people, or other mice that Romney referred to? Rick Don’t Google His Name Santorom, Michele Don’t know American History Bachmann, Ron Against The Civil Rights Act Paul, Herman Pizza-man Cain, Tim Super Dork Pawlenty and Newt Flipp Flopper Gingrich. So there they were, seven mice running around the stage, each trying to prove that while the cat was away doing his fundraiser, they are more than capable of carrying the biggest piece of cheese.

The blame game continued.

Herman Cain, when asked what his administration would do to create jobs?  “The thing we need to do is to get this economy boosted. This economy is stalled. It’s like a train on the tracks with no engine. And the administration has simply been putting all of this money in the caboose.”

Rick Santorom, picking up where Herman Cain left off, chimed in with, “Yeah, I think we need a president who’s optimistic, who has a pro-growth agenda.”

Question for Tim Pawlenty – talk about your economic plan. Pawlenty’s answer? ” This president is a declinist. He views America as one of equals around the world.” Then Mitt Romney continued the love-fest… sorry, debate. “This president has failed. And he’s failed at a time when the American people counted on him to create jobs and get the economy growing. And instead of doing that, he delegated the stimulus to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and then he did what he wanted to do: card-check, cap-and-trade, Obamacare, reregulation.” Not to be left out in the cold, Newt Gingrich added, “The Obama administration is an anti-jobs, anti-business, anti- American energy destructive force.”

Ron Paul, asked by the moderator if there was anything nice he can say about the president, replied, “No, no, I can’t think of anything.”

But the biggest cheese carrier of the night has to go to Michele Bachmann, who, among other things, claimed that the Teaparty “is really made up of disaffected Democrats, independents, people who’ve never been political a day in their life.” Funny as that statement was, Bachmann opened her mouth again and this claim fell out, “we need everybody to come together because we’re going to win. Just make no mistake about it. I want to announce tonight. President Obama is a one-term president.”

Yes, Michele, we will take your word on that… just like we believed you when you claimed that the Founding Fathers “worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.”

We won’t tell anyone the little truth that the Founders were all dead by the time slavery was abolished. Just our little secret Michele.

Gingrich Campaign Falling Apart

This is a big LOL! moment. The Huffington Post is reporting that Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has a major problem – his campaign staffers are heading for the door in droves.

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich’s campaign manager, senior strategists and key aides in early delegate-selection states all resigned on Thursday, a mass exodus that leaves his hopes of winning the Republican nomination in tatters.

Rick Tyler, Gingrich’s spokesman, said he, campaign manager Rob Johnson and senior strategists had resigned, along with aides in the early primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Other officials said Gingrich was informed that his entire high command was quitting in a meeting earlier in the day. They cited differences over the direction of the campaign but were not more specific.

Maybe they all saw something shiny on the outside and decided to go investigate. How easily they get distracted.

Gingrich said he is determined to continue his campaign. At this rate, he may be doing it all by himself.

Romney Called For Detroit Bankruptcy, Now Panders For Their Votes

Mitt Romney was one of the main opponents to President Obama’s auto bailout, a bailout that has brought back the United States auto industry and saved thousands of jobs nationwide, especially in Detroit Michigan, the major producer of automobiles. So strong were his disagreements with the bailout, Romney suggested that Detroit and the auto industry should “go bankrupt.”

Today however, Romney made his way back to Detroit as a Republican presidential candidate for the 2012 elections, hoping to sell his economic policies, but the people of the motor-city have not forgotten about Romney’s stance on the auto bailout.

Below is their Welcome Message for Mitt Romney.

Please Don’t Remind Republican Scott Walker Of The Poor

It’s a painting that was placed in the Wisconsin Governor’s mansion for a reason – to remind the leaders, whoever he or she might be, of their obligation to the homeless and the poor people of the state. Scott Walker, the Republican governor who recently tried to enact a bill to dismantle collective bargaining rights of the Wisconsin public worker, had the painting removed.

The painting called, Wishes in the Wind, was done by Wisconsin artist David Lenz. It depicts three children – one African-American, one Hispanic and one Caucasian – playing with bubble wands on a Milwaukee street. Lenz explained that he carefully chose the characters in the piece because of the importance of their life stories. The African-American girl was featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an article done about homelessness. She and her mother spent three months at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. The Caucasian boy’s father was killed by a drunk driver in 2009 and the Hispanic girl is a member of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Milwaukee.

Governor Walker’s decision to remove the painting sent a strong message to Lenz. He said

“The homeless, central city children and victims of drunk drivers normally do not have a voice in politics, this painting was an opportunity for future governors to look these three children in the eye, and I hope, contemplate how their public policies might affect them and other children like them.”

I guess that was a conversation Governor Walker did not want to have.”

And in a direct reference to Scott Walker’s proposed budget cuts in state’s funding for Milwaukee schools services, Lenz said, “This seems symbolic, you would think we could all agree on the need to support the hopes and dreams of children.”

Walker’s excuse for removing the painting? In a press released, this explanation was given;

In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, Governor Scott Walker and First Lady Tonette Walker are pleased to announce the addition of Civil War themed artwork and artifacts to decorate the interior of Wisconsin’s Executive Residence.

The painting Wishes in the Wind, which was previously on display in the Drawing Room, is on loan to the Central Library in Milwaukee where 560,000 visitors each year will see it, learn about its significance and continue the discussion about providing hope and optimism for the least privileged in our society. By comparison, the Executive Residence hosts approximately 15,000 visitors each year.

Romney’s Mormon Religion of Little Concern To Voters

When Romney announced his desire to run for President back in 2008, one of his major flaws among the American voter was his Mormon beliefs. But that was then and this is now, and according to a new Quinnipiac poll, Americans will vote for anyone of any belief, as long as that person is not a Muslim. The poll released on June 8th, found that of the different Religions, Americans are more comfortable with a Catholic president at 60%, than they are with a Muslim at 21%. Mormons are just below Christians, getting a 43% vote. The poll also finds, that among Republican voters, Romney is in the lead with 25 percent, followed by Sarah Palin at 15 percent.  The other so-called contenders?:

  • Howard Cain is at 9%
  • Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 8%
  • Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul at 8%
  • Minnesota U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann at 6%
  • Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty at 5%
  • Former Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum at 4%
  • Jon Huntsman at 1%.

Another 20 percent are undecided.

Republican Morality King Donald Trump Calls Weiner A Psycho

Just when you thought we had heard the last of The Donald, he pops up again like a bad dream. This time, his excuse for showing off that critter on the top of his head, is the Anthony Weiner debacle that is playing out now in the media, you know… weinergate!

Of course Donald Trump is no reference point on the morality scale, but then again, which Republican politician is? Donald Trump was married to his first wife Ivana in 1977, but he couldn’t keep his “weener” in his pants and cheated on her with Marla Maples. Marla became his second wife in 1993. The two lovebirds stayed married… oh… sorry, the two divorced after a short 6 years, then The Donald married his third wife Melania Knauss. Between these three wives, The Morality King fathered 5 children.

And his moral standing more than qualifies Donald Trump to share his 2 cents on Anthony Weiner, the Democratic Representative from New York who sent pictures of himself to various women over a 3 year period, then lied to the media about it. Trump, being the one without sin in this case, cast his stones;

“Anthony Weiner is a bad guy, he’s a psycho and when this came out I was not surprised at all.  I’d watch him in interviews,  I’d watch him on television, I’ d hear what he’d say  and you could see he was like a boiler ready to explode,” said Trump.

“Little did anybody realize, especially me, that he’d get into this kind of trouble,” said Trump.  “I thought that his career was so important to him. The fact is what he was doing was more important or probably he just had a death wish.”

Now that the Donald has maneuvered his way back into the spotlight and is again commanding the short attention span of the so-called media, we should expect another book deal or something. This is how the Donald thinks – capture the limelight, then quickly make some money off the experience. Let’s see how much of a bump his Apprentice show gets now.

Politics Republican Rick Santorum twitter United States

What Will You Find If You Google “Santorum?”

Today, another Republican joker pitched his hat in the ring, telling America that he is going to run for President in 2012. And immediately after Rick Santorum made it official, social network sites like Twitter went crazy. It seems that everyone has an opinion on whether or not Santorum should run, and most of the “tweets” were asking Americans to know their candidate, advising them to use google, like the tweet shown below:

So in an effort to shed a little more light on the subject, I took @paulfreid up on his challenge and googled “Santorum.” What I found was indeed scary! Below is part of the unbelievable results Google returned:

Comparing Gay Sex to Man-On-Dog and Sodomy.

In an interview with the Associated Press, as reported in USATODAY, the question of outlawing homosexuality was asked;

AP: I mean, should we outlaw homosexuality?

SANTORUM: I have no problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts. As I would with acts of other, what I would consider to be, acts outside of traditional heterosexual relationships. And that includes a variety of different acts, not just homosexual. I have nothing, absolutely nothing against anyone who’s homosexual. If that’s their orientation, then I accept that. And I have no problem with someone who has other orientations. The question is, do you act upon those orientations? So it’s not the person, it’s the person’s actions. And you have to separate the person from their actions.

AP: OK, without being too gory or graphic, so if somebody is homosexual, you would argue that they should not have sex?

SANTORUM: We have laws in states, like the one at the Supreme Court right now, that has sodomy laws and they were there for a purpose. Because, again, I would argue, they undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family. And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn’t exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution, this right that was created, it was created in Griswold — Griswold was the contraceptive case — and abortion. And now we’re just extending it out. And the further you extend it out, the more you — this freedom actually intervenes and affects the family. You say, well, it’s my individual freedom. Yes, but it destroys the basic unit of our society because it condones behavior that’s antithetical to strong healthy families. Whether it’s polygamy, whether it’s adultery, where it’s sodomy, all of those things, are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family.

Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that’s what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That’s not to pick on homosexuality. It’s not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality —

AP: I’m sorry, I didn’t think I was going to talk about “man on dog” with a United States senator, it’s sort of freaking me out.

SANTORUM: And that’s sort of where we are in today’s world, unfortunately. The idea is that the state doesn’t have rights to limit individuals’ wants and passions. I disagree with that. I think we absolutely have rights because there are consequences to letting people live out whatever wants or passions they desire. And we’re seeing it in our society.

AP: Sorry, I just never expected to talk about that when I came over here to interview you. Would a President Santorum eliminate a right to privacy — you don’t agree with it?

Rick then went on the Glenn Beck Show and defended his man-on-dog claims.

There’s more. We advise you to take @paulFreid’s advise and google Santorum.

Mitt Romney Believes In Global Warming – Republicans Do Not!

It’s just another reason why many Republicans and Conservatives are against the Mitt Romney run for the 2012 Presidential candidacy. The politically charged issue that has become a big decision maker in recent elections, with Republicans taking the stance that Global Warming is a myth, steamrolled by Democrats to make money.

But apparently, Mitt Romney breaks away from the Republican way of thinking on this matter, which is another reason most Republicans and Conservatives will vote for a lobotomy performed by Joe the Plumber, instead of casting that vote for Romney in the primaries or in 2012.

While announcing his decision to run for President, Romney was asked about his stance on Global Warming. He replied;

“I don’t speak for the scientific community, of course, but I believe the world’s getting warmer. I can’t prove that, but I believe based on what I read that the world is getting warmer. And number two, I believe that humans contribute to that . . . so I think it’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and the global warming that you’re seeing.’’

Romney might be the only one in the Republican party that thinks it is important to cut emission pollutants and greenhouse gases. His potential Republican rival, Sarah Palin, just said how she loves the smell of emissions. If she doesn’t run, don’t look for a Palin endorsement of Mitt Romney.

Wisconsin Republicans Sue Because They Were Wrong

Something must be wrong with these Republicans. It seems that when they do things in the dark, everything is fine. But when these things are brought to the light, Republicans want to sue the person who turns on the light switch.

Oh the nerve of these Wisconsin Republicans.

In a secretly taped conversation recently released and first reported by the La Crosse Tribune , Wisconsin Republicans were overheard talking about planting a spoiler Democrat into the recall elections of Republican Sen. Dan Kapanke.

On the recording, Julian Bradley – the La Crosse County Republican Vice Chairman is heard recalling a conversation he had with Wisconsin Executive Director of the State’s Party, Mark Jefferson. Here’s what was said;

“We are actively keeping our ears to the ground and if anybody knows anybody for a candidate that would be interested on the Democratic side in running in the primary against Jennifer Shilling … if anybody knows any Democrats who would be interested, please let us know.”

The recall election for Republican Dan Kapanke –  one of the Senators that voted for the controversial law that will take away the collective bargaining rights of Wisconsin union members – is scheduled for July 12th. Republicans were attempting to plant this spoiler Democratic challenger into the race to delay the recall election, as primary elections will be held first. A scenario, they believe, will cost Democrats more money. The official Democratic challenger in the recall election against Dan Kapanke is state Rep. Jennifer Shilling (D-La Crosse).

But what’s even more unbelievable is the proposed law-suit. Yes, the party that has fabricated information and videos against Democrats are now planning to sue the person who secretly recorded the Republican meeting. The report claims,

The La Crosse County Republican Party plans to sue the person who made a secret recording of the group’s monthly meeting last week, when party officials discussed running a spoiler candidate against Democrat Jennifer Shilling.

Party chairman Bill Feehan said he met with an attorney Friday and would file a suit soon.

“I had to seek legal counsel regarding the illegal taping of our meeting,” Feehan said. “We’ve now been told it’s a violation of a state statute regarding wire tapping.”

You do right and you should have nothing to worry about. But the nerve…! You do wrong, and you want to file suit because your wrong-doing was brought to light?

Simply amazing!!!

Chris Christie – Fiscally Conservative In Words Only, Not Deeds

Chris Christie, the Republican governor of New Jersey – has been much in the news over the last few months. Republicans have been searching for a presidential candidate for the 2012 elections to go up against President Obama, and Christie matched the fiscally conservative ideals Republicans claim to believe in.

For example, the governor, in an effort to save some extra cash for the state of New Jersey even went as far as cutting education spending and necessary funding for teachers. What else was he expected to do? The state needed money and teachers make too much. So cutting their take home pay is what this fiscally conservative governor did.

But now, it would seem that New Jersey is bringing home the dough. You know, rolling in cash… like flushing it down the toilet or something. Jersey apparently has so much money, that the fiscally conservative Republican governor saw no problem with taking the quick way to his son’s baseball game – using the State’s Police Helicopter that was purchased with $12 million of New Jersey’s taxpayer’s dollars.

Right before the lineup cards were being exchanged on the field, a noise from above distracted the spectators as the 55-foot long helicopter buzzed over trees in left field, circled the outfield and landed in an adjacent football field. Christie disembarked from the helicopter and got into a black car with tinted windows that drove him about a 100 yards to the baseball field.

And who exactly will have to cover the bill for the pilot and crew, and the fuel for Christie’s trip? Well the people of New Jersey of course. They’re making enough money, remember? They’re good.

Hold Your Laughter – Bachmann Says Democrats Are Afraid Of Her

Okay. This post is not going to be very long. Get this… hold your laughter… Michele Bachmann thinks Democrats will be “terribly afraid of a Michele Bachmann candidacy for president of the United States.”

The Associated Press is reporting the Bachmann claim came after the Republican presidential wannabe toured the New Hampshire Statehouse. Bachmann then headed for a “Road to the White House” interview at WXKL-FM radio station, where she said this;

“I think that comparison shows me very favorable compared to the current president of the United States,” she said.

If she runs, Bachmann said she will emphasize how her background as a lawyer, business owner and mother makes her most qualified to turn the economy around.

“I’ve got that background, of being a person who worked my way through college,” she said. “We’re self-made people — I get it.”

Okay, now you can laugh!
