Mouthing off

Well, things are status quo. Re Wisconsin, that is. The Wisconsin 14 are still in Chicago. Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller asked Walker to meet them at the border (sounds funny, doesn't it?) but he refused. On Saturday bus loads of - tea partiers, I guess - travelled thru Wisconsin and stopped in Madison, supplied by the Koch brothers. They had big buses w/SUPPORT SCOTT WALKER.COM on the side and all kinds of things. Michael Moore was there for the protesters and he said (and I believe him!) that Wisconsin is not broke and the U.S.A. is not broke. Now, it's not just Moore saying it - Bloomberg news said it, also. (I'll go back to WI in a minute) If
the House & the Senate didn't take their "cost of living" increases that would certainly help a lot. If they get rid of the loop holes that work for the big oil companies and Big Pharma, then we would have no problem, either. Now, remember Sen. Ensign from Nevada? The one that had the affair w/a staff worker and then his parents paid her family 96 million (to keep them quiet? Kind of late for that!) Well, he announced he was retiring and he retires w/ $150,000 per year that we pay for! Their retirement $$$ should be cut, also. There are so many things to do that would not affect the middle class, the seniors, the poor, etc. But, unfortunately, some Democrats feel the same way the Republicans do about the top 2% as they are the ones that get them elected. Doesn't seem fair, does it?
Back to Wisconsin. Sen. Fitzgerald - Senate Majority Leader
(what a jerk!) was interviewed on Lawrence O'Donnell this evening and he blatantly lied! Lawrence asked him about the tax cuts given to the corps (actually it was Wal-Mart & McDonalds) which made WI have a deficit and Fitzgerald said "What? Where did you hear that? That isn't true. We have a 3+ billion deficity. Those weren't his exact words but some where along that line) Now, Lawrence didn't call him on that which really surprised me. I will send him an e-mail on that one. He usually does and he didn't tonite. He actually sat there and lied! Why am I surprised!
Now, there is a suit - I don't know if it is pending or if they are trying to get it going - against Walker re ethics per that fake phone call from the fake Koch brother. Things that he said that are incriminating. As far as a recall, they have to wait until next January. Speaking about recall, there is a group in AZ trying to get Gov. Jan Brewer recalled. Gee, do you have to be an Arizonan to sign? I would sign in a N.Y. minute! (never really knew what that meant!) She is the worst! She makes Walker seem like I don't know what!!!! For a little over $1,000,000 96 peoples lives could be saved but she says the state is broke! Baloney! These are people that need transplants but she cut a a ton of money from Medicaid. Now, there were 98 people but 2 have already died. One of them may have died anyway even w/the transplant but the other could possibly have been saved. She also signed several gun laws like the one that says if you are over 22 you don't need a background check! What?????????????? That one was signed shortly before that guy killed the people in Tucson and shot Rep. Gabby Giffords. She signs a lot of gun laws. Not good ones, I'm afraid.
Back to WI for a minute - there is 1 Rep. Senator that will go along w/ the Democrats and if they can get 2 more then the bill will not be passed! Here's hoping!!!!!
