In WI we have an 8 year jump on you guys..RE: treachery of the Rs

8 years of hell here. When Walker dropped the bomb of Act 10, our Senators fled the state to avoid the vote. Well, the Rs found a way to pass the bill without them. These Rs will do anything legal and illegal to hurt the people they supposedly represent. Never ever underestimate their grift and greed and cruelty. Tonite Lawrence played the clip of the US Senators yelling SHAME in chambers. He said he had never seen such a thing. We have.We screamed SHAME...showed up in numbers exceeding 100,000...all of it. Look where it got us.

I feel for any state with Ryan as a rep. How do you survive there without spontaneously combusting.

Don't worry about never underestimating the pure evil and trickery they will use to achieve their sick, greedy agendas. My dad taught me that long ago and he is right.

As a Republican, there is no conpromise, of course, and for 2 years Rauner refused to pass a budget, creating billions in new debt.

EPIC FAIL!

I can't wait to vote that bastard out. Yes, all the additional debt we racked up. We had to increase the taxes... there just was no other way.

But thank goodness for Madigan. He didn't back down. I thought Cullerton wanted to waffle, but thank God the Democratic caucus held together and there were actually some Republicans WITH A CONSCIENCE in Springfield who joined with the Dems to thwart Rauner.

That is what is missing from our national crisis. Republicans who put their constituents above themselves and their party.

They didn't care one whit, just bulldogged ahead for the millionaires that own them here in Wisco. The Republicans are their own private mafia used to plunder our state (the Koch's, Bradley's, that asshole in Illinois, etc.).
