I should make a site about people like you and call it Grown-Up Four Year Old's. Also, to say that she is not a competent president is also ignorant. I would like to see you do her job. Lastly, GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT! Half of what I am reading I know is completely false.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-18394908490394770502012-05-17T22:13:17.451-05:002012-05-17T22:13:17.451-05:00Wilmer-Sheedy's gathering of the JVL business ...Wilmer-Sheedy's gathering of the JVL business brain trust to "re-invent" is a good start, but as usual the strategies are way off. Cozying up to the governor and asking for business friendly tax breaks only bails out the monied-class. How about investing in re-educating the displaced workers? That will bring the outside employers running to JVL to base business where a skilled workforce exists...THEN you can give them tax breaks if needed.<br /><br />The Eastsider<br />willystreetblog.comThe Eastsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04629989225701152618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-13708332854818847292012-05-17T10:27:30.802-05:002012-05-17T10:27:30.802-05:00Well said gareth.

Barrett keeps talking about the "civil war" that Walker incited in Wisconsin. But that's not the argument. There should have been a "civil war" over what Walker was trying to do. There wouldn't even be a recall without what Barrett calls "the civil war." The "civil war" was entirely appropriate. Sometimes, in politics, there are issues worth screaming about. I'm no expert, but the end of collective bargaining during an era of flat-lining wages would seem to be one of those. By citing the "civil war" as the reason for voting for him, and without, I believe, intending to do so, Barrett makes all those people standing in the cold last January marginally complicit in what he says as the problem the recall was meant to solve."<br /><br />http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/scott-walker-for-president-2016-nightmare-8893992<br /><br />This is what happens when you decide, based on polling and advice from "professional" campaign consultants, that collective bargaining and workers' rights shouldn't be front and center in the campaign. You demoralize your base and neuter your campaign.Garethnoreply@blogger.com
