Has Anyone Done An Assessment Of How Walker Has Hurt The National Repug Party?......

[global1]

Just curious. Walker has brought much attention to Repugs because of his antics in Wisconsin. In my estimation the bulk of the attention has been negative. I think the longer this drags out in Wisconsin the bigger and the deeper the damage will be to the Repugs on a whole.

How soon will Walker get chastised by his own party and told that he must silence this situation? I'm thinking that the Repugs that are running the party are meeting somewhere right now trying to figure out how they can muzzle Walker and defuse this situation before it does irreversible damage to the Repug party on the whole.

1. A lot of Republicans

Are waiting to see how Wisconsin plays out. He is pretty much the Darling of the Republican party, according to Rachael Maddow.

3. I Got To Think That Walker Has Awakened A Sleeping Giant ....

that being the middle class and unions. I think the Repugs and maybe Walker included thought that they would be able to slide this union busting by under the radar. Unfortunately I believe it blew up in their faces.

Who would have thought that there would be those large crowds of people marching on the state capitals of Wisconsin and Ohio.

At first I think they thought that they could keep the media away from this story - but now it has gotten worldwide attention. And from my vantage point it looks like this is gaining momentum with the working folk and they don't like it.

The prank phone call from the fake Koch brother didn't help much either. It just fueled the fire more and brought home what the Repugs are trying to do with their attack on working folk.

I got to think that the national Repugs that pull the strings behind the scenes for the party are now shaking in their boots - because it has brought a lot of negative attention to them.

I sure that their are some out there believing what Faux News is trying to seed - that Walker is the darling of the party. I believe that this is just spin to try and take some of the edge off this story.

My gut tells me that if this doesn't die down soon. If the Dem Senators can hold out a week or two more - that the National Repug party will put pressure on Walker to drop back.

5. He might be their darling now

but they will dump him in a New York second if they think he's become a liability.

2. The longer it goes, the less they want to know

This was supposed to be a nice, quiet el kabotzki on the middle class in Wisconsin. The unions did their part, going along with the pay and benefit concessions. Then Walker made the big grab for collective bargaining. Suddenly, working folks found themselves in a fight for their very existence. Walker and his masters would like to kill off the middle class, but the middle class HAS to survive.

There's a difference in the stakes.

6. He'll be Teflon, like his role-model Raygun

He will have shown just how brazen arrogance and toadying can help one get ahead.

7. Personally, I'm not interested in any assessment on how he has hurt them.

I want Walker destroyed so he is tarred and feather and run out on a pole.
