Walker raised nearly 5 times more than Barrett from in state donations

[tonymctones]

Walker raised about 13.42 million through in state donations

Barrett raised about 2.88 million through in state donations

yet the left would have you believe that the only reason Walker won was b/c he outspent Barrett through out of state donations.

Walker raised nearly 3 times as much as Barrett with just his in state donations...

LMFAO

[Straw Man]

and how much of a head start did Walker have?

Barrett only become the candidate on May 8th

again, basic facts like that just seem to elude you

LMFAO reach on butt hurt buddy

[Straw Man]

LMFAO reach on butt hurt buddy

is that all you can do when faced with irrefutable facts

Walker has been raising money continuously since well before the recall was even a reality

Barrett became the candidate on May 8th

now, why did you bring this up again?

just to show how stupid you are?

[reppingfor20]

how about out of state donations, that should be illegal!  The guy is a criminal and is going to court!  You need to evolve and stop being a republican sheep.

I can see a valid point for outlawing out of state funding but even if you did that walker still out funded barrett by nearly 5 times...

Probably just to remind you that the unions got another well-deserved bitch slapping, junior.

I see more gloating from the right than butt hurt from the left.

Well to be fair, the left did start a recall that by all accounts shouldnt have happened.

[Soul Crusher]

Got to love how the leftists are crying about money when Obama swamped McCain in money and the left never said a damn thing.

[Hugo Chavez]

Well to be fair, the left did start a recall that by all accounts shouldnt have happened.

if they met the signature requirements for a recall, then why shouldn't it have happened?  The people don't have a lot of power left these days.  If enough people are pissed off and they meet the requirements for a recall, I can't fathom why they shouldn't do it.

Guys, stop fighting.

It's time for us to come together as a nation.

USA! USA! USA!

I was under the impression that recalls were reserved for elections where something illegal went down.

Also, I was under the impression that a large percentage of the signatures turned out to be forged or people from other states.

I could be wrong.

You really don't have all the facts.  Best not to offer an ill-informed opinion without them.

WTF??
Doesn't matter what side you're on or even if you don't have a side.  This recall election should've never taken place.

There were no grounds for it, no malfeasance or misconduct.  No corruption, no broken laws, no scandal, no crimes committed.  Just a bunch of whiners who don't like the policies of the (2010) ELECTED official(s).

Walker inherited a 3.6 billion dollar deficit.  Teachers were getting let go left and right for not having tenure.  Mass layoffs (public sector).  Walker balanced the budget and there's surplus without layoffs.  BEFORE HE took office, Wisconsin lost more than 150,000 jobs between 2008 and 2010.

Oh, and btw ~  Wisconsin's unemployment rate is 6.7%

What's the national average?   
 

AND!  Our property taxes went down!  BTW~ our taxes are one of the highest in the country.

What do you propose another (D) candidate should've done?

Also, the $ gap in campaign funds is grossly misleading.  No one is reporting the tens of millions spent by the the other side for the recall effort (ie; out of state workers forging getting petitions signed, the Falk campaign, etc.

you are not wrong.   You are 100 percent correct.

Unfortunately, Wisconsin is not one of those states with that law on the books.

The GAB did a piss-poor job of "verifying"  signatures.  HA!  People signing multiple times, using false addresses, bogus names, stealing names, you name it!

That's the first I've heard that something illegal needs to happen in order for a recall to happen.  Maybe there's some states like that but I don't think this is the case here:

Also never heard anything about forged and out of state signatures.  Was it proven that a "large percentage" was out of state and or forged?  Not just some pundit's accusation?

I found one state that says there needs to have been something illegal happen to be recalled and this source sites that state as being unlike most others in this area.

Yes!  It was proven over and over.  People even went on camera and bragged about signing multiple petitions, using bogus names, etc.  Many people who DID NOT sign later found out their name was on a petition.  Investigative reporters proved out of state "volunteers" signed using the hotel address as a resident address.  Children's names were on petitions, bogus names like Mickey Mouse were used.  The list goes on.

Then there's the "no ID required to vote" bullshit.  Don't get me started.

they bragged about committing fraud on TV?  I gotta see this.  Question, how do we know these were not republicans trying to destroy the recall attempt?

Looks like the games in this area of recalls go both ways in wisconin.

Ill agree with that, let the process work.

It has and the constituents have spoken loud and clear, will you join us in criticizing the dems when they flee the state again?

[tonymctones]

I heard that one district had 120% voter turn out...and ppl still oppose voter id laws why?
