BREAKING NEWS: Walker calls Democrat walkout 'disrespectful,' to hold press conference; 4:45 CST

[Ellipsis]

Madison–Governor Scott Walker on Thursday afternoon released the following statement:

Out of respect for the institution of the Legislature and the democratic process, I am calling on Senate Democrats to show up to work today, debate legislation and cast their vote. Their actions by leaving the state and hiding from voting are disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of public employees who showed up to work today and the millions of taxpayers they represent.

Walker will be holding a press conference at 4:45p.m. CST today in the Governor’s Conference room to discuss the day’s events. It will only be open to credentialed members of the media.

1. Disrespectful? Yes. But then, Walker isn't worthy of any respect.

[Tatiana]

2. I'm more than willing to cross the border to gather signatures to petition for his recall.

F him, the slimy corporate snake.

[FBaggins]

12. You'll have to wait awhile.

Such a petition can't even begin until he's been in office for at least a year.

But keep your car keys handy... there's bound to be a need at that time. :)

14. Impeach

Impeach! Impeach!

[City Lights]

3. Go cheney yourself, Walker!

You are scum of the highest order!

May you rot in your own body excrement!

[HereSince1628]

4. Hahahahahah! Like Scottie recognizes things such as respect

I think we have the little dictators tail in a knot.

It is most certainly time to TWIST IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ellipsis]

19. You know they are going to spin it... People in the state will see through his bullshit.

They maybe able to spin it nationally... but not here, after he sent the 800 million away... the state sees through this bullshitter.


But obviously... he's in the building, and I gotta think wearing ear plugs.

5. is he respecting the unions by forcing this without hardly any debate?

[gateley]

9. Is there even any "hardly"? What a horrible man. nt

[DJ13]

6. Respect has to be earned

It doesnt happen just because you win an election.

See your own (GOP) party's treatment of President Obama for an example.

[FreakinDJ]

7. It will only be open to credentialed members of the media

Jack Asses sympathetic to Walker and loaded with Softball questions

"Didn't you have a Budget Surplus before you signed the Tax Cuts for Business?

[quinnox]

8. Will he be offering his resignation?

If not, a reporter needs to ask him why not.

[LLStarks]

10. I can't argue with his message, but this walkout is giving WI the national attention it needed. nt

[HuckleB]

11. Says the guy who cut taxes and wants labor to pay for his ideological crap.

You want respect? Show respect. Walker has shown no ability to respect others.

[Greybnk48]

13. Thrilled that he got the message!

He's right, he's NOT respected and now he never will be. He lacks the intellect, gravitas and governing skills to be where he is and his election should be viewed as a fluke and a shame.

[dd2003]

18. Impeach

Impeach! Impeach!

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Next he will accuse foreign forces

I wish I were kidding...

I am almost smelling a commie or two

RUN FER THEM HILLS!

The fact he is doing that tells me we are at that tipping point

[Atman]

16. RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!

[Angry Dragon]

17. Damn Wisconsin ......... see what you did .......you hurt his feelings

and so it doesn't matter that when people wanted to sit down with him and discuss things
he told them there was nothing to discuss, he had it all worked out.

The man is an ass

[Earth_First]

20. From the conference room? As in removed from what's going on in the rotunda and capital steps?

Why not make this presser live on the steps of the capital building?

[Initech]

21. What an asshole.

[upi402]

22. RWers accuse others of what they do

SOS different shingle

[Loki]

23. And threatening to use the National Guard as your thugs against

workers is what, Mr. Walker?

[Chris_Texas]

24. This douchebag needs to go.

Nuff said.
