GOP hold off Dems in recalls in Wisconsin - Ha ha ha -

[240 is Back]

Tell me this - did the dems WIN in the senate races in 2010?



They still RETAIN CONTROL of the senate.
But they got their asses handed to them in the 2010 Senate races.

So any Dem that claimed "we win!" in the 2010 senate race is a d-bag asshat who likes to have sex with jello pudding cups.  As is any repub who claims "we win!" cause they only lost 2 of 6 seats.

[Kazan]

and they won 4, and lost 2.


And yes, they retain control for the next year, but the Dems are 2 seats closer to taking control in 2012.

So the repubs only lost two.  But they still lost some.  The second I saw Repubs claiming a WIN because they only lost two... well, that's some low ass standards.

You just like arguing for the sake of arguing.

No - he is pissed off that his beloved left wing fanatics are getting beaten to a pulp all across the nation. 

Remember - 180 said in 2009 we needed an obama left wing liberal policy to help rebuild the middle class. 

He just can't accept the fact that the Tea Party and Taxpayers are kicking ass and steamrolling the parasites and leeches and vermin he loves so much.

I guess I would put it in this context, they didn't loose, kinda the same with WI. The problem I have with WI is tax payer money being used to fund a witch hunt.

Cool, I can respect that dude.

33, do you agree?  The Dems "WON" in the senate in 2010 because they didn't lose control, but did lose a lot of seats?

Not at all.   There are two morte elections up next week and the dems might lose and the GOP will come ahead anyway.

Funny too- even the dems consider this a massive loss, yet somehow 180 gets to try to spin this as a victory.  any you wonder why the far left people are losing so badly evberywhere?  You guys are delusional.

Either the Dems2010 lost, and the repubs2011 lost... or they both won.

They both LOST SEATS but retained control.

You really see a world where dems lost both times, huh?

The left spent $30 million and the Wisconsin GOP still has control of the Senate. Nothing more needs to be said. All the 180 spin in the world won't change it.

Less Drama in White House After Staff Changes


......Similarly, the White House mostly has sought to stay out of the fray in Madison, Wis., and other state capitals where Republican governors are battling public employee unions and Democratic lawmakers over collective bargaining rights.
When West Wing officials discovered that the Democratic National Committee had mobilized Mr. Obama’s national network to support the protests, they angrily reined in the staff at the party headquarters.

Administration officials said they saw the events beyond Washington as distractions from the optimistic “win the future” message that Mr. Obama introduced in his State of the Union address, in which he exhorted the country to increase spending for some programs even as it cuts others so that America can “out-innovate and out-educate” its global rivals....

Um......  Were Repub donations in 2010 pretty damn high?  Were voters more motiavted than ever, showing up for Beck rallies by the hundreds of thousands?\

and they couldn't even win the senate.  Big loss I guess.

[Soul Crusher]

You really have turned into little more than a leftist troll.  Even the demos consider this a huge loss.

Nice attempt at a straw man. 2010 has nothing whatsoever to do with this week's elections. Let me say it again as reading comprehension doesn't appear to be a requirement for getting an MBA at French Fry U:

The Wisconsin GOP still has control of the senate.

You're a pathetically stupid fuck.

WEAC (Largest Wisconsin Teachers Union) issues layoff notices to 40% of staff

WEAC issues layoff notices to 40% of staff By Erin Richards of the Journal Sentinel Aug. 15, 2011 12:02 p.m. |(114) Comments

Layoff notices have been issued to about 40% of the Wisconsin Education Association Council workforce, a total of 42 employees who work for the state's largest teachers union, Executive Director Dan Burkhalter confirmed Monday.

Burkhalter said that the layoffs and other budget cuts at WEAC are a result of Gov. Scott Walker's "union-busting" legislation.

“Right now we’re engaged in membership continuation campaigns," Burkhalter said in a statement. "We’ve made steady progress in signing up members and we anticipate further progress will be made as the school year resumes. Despite budget cuts and layoffs, our goal remains the same: to be a strong and viable organization that represents the voices of Wisconsin’s public school employees.”

The organization has been working to stay relevant in a time when state legislation has severely clipped the collective bargaining rights of teachers and other public workers. The legislation makes it illegal for local teachers unions to electronically deduct dues from the payroll of teachers, and local unions also have to hold re-certification votes.

The Wisconsin Association of School Boards estimates that about 275 school districts in the state are working outside of collective bargaining agreements and subject to the new legislation. About 150 or so districts are operating under contracts that were extended with their respective unions before the legislation passed.

Kaz,

You're forgetting one thing: The GOP didn't brag and run their mouths about how they were going to take the Senate. In fact, most political pundits cited that the Republicans would get 6-8 Senate seats and 60 House seats. They did that.

On the other hand, the liberals were screaming FOR MONTHS, that they were going to stick it to Walker and take the Senate from him, as part of the BIIIIIIIIG master plan to get him recalled.

When you yak about winning the Senate but don't do it (and may cough up what relatively few gains you made, just a week later), you have LOST.
