Holy fucking shit. I thought Grothman was the worst of the lot, but it seems Prideman is also looking to get in on the woman hating action.

GAB to order Recall Elections After Petition Signatures Okayed
And the quote of the day, from that article:
Fox6News said:
I'm suddenly so very, very happy that I moved back to Washington from Wisconsin in '05. Sure, Washington is fucked up financially, and we've got more than our fair share of retarded politicians - but when they do something retarded it's usually along the lines of deciding that their major city doesn't really need that major arterial highway and replacing it with a two lane road with a bike lane and a green-space down the middle; or replacing an ass-load of parking space with bike lanes; it's not declaring that single mothers cause child abuse and that women who are beaten by their husbands need to remember why they love said husbands instead of leaving them. That's just beyond fucked up.
Glad to see that recall elections are being ordered for Walker, but I'd love to know if Grothman and Prideman divulged any of this psychopathy before they were elected and were voted in anyway, or if they acted like normal, civil human beings in order to be elected and then spout their hatred of all women.
Given who this state elected as governor, I'd say the latter was true.
Knowing Washington County (which Grothman represents), he ran unopposed. An (R) in front of the name pretty is pretty much a guarantee win here.
Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board is FINALLY going to certify that there should be a recall of Walker/Kleefisch today, March 30th.
There were 900,938 valid signatures, which was over 96% of the total submitted - and over 360 thousand more than what was needed.
The Primaries on the Democratic side are scheduled for May 8, when several senators are being recalled, and a general election will be set for June 5th.
I suddenly want to get a t-shirt that says, "I AM THE 96%!"

Is ironic you should use Deutsche to ask...
Act 10 is the (insert extremely derogatory term here) piece of legislation that essentially took away ALL rights to bargain collectively from ANY group of employees that work for the state, counties or municipalities within the state of Wisconsin.
It was a "carbon copy" piece of legislation, created by a GOP "think tank" that required an incredibly high target and incredibly ridiculous time frame for groups to be certified as a "bargaining unit" between state/local governments and their employees. <These two parts of the legislation were struck down by the court.>
It also essentially took about 90% of what could be discussed in bargaining off the table completely - essentially turning "bargaining" into "what shade of blue should our uniforms be?"
It was passed in the middle of the night, while the 14 state senators were off in Illinois to prevent a vote on the bill. It was essentially "ram-rod" legislation - you'll take it or else.
It is the reason why SW is facing a recall, as it affected every single person employed by the state of Wisconsin, its counties and municipalities - including the teachers in the various school districts throughout the state.

Oh Kathy Nickolaus, what would we do without you? Probably have elections that didn't constantly become clusterfucks I imagine.
The only reason why I'd vote for Barrett is if he was Democratic nominee coming out of the primary. Falk has said she would rescind the bargaining restrictions for public employees (which the courts have already essentially struck down). Barrett's suggested the same, but I don't know if he'd be willing to go as far.
Somewhere, I hope WSEU still has a copy of the tentative agreement we had with the state back in December of 2010 - BEFORE the whole mess came down.

Pridemore has some other great stuff behind his name, like being pro-puppy-mill

I think they'll try to win, but they won't hamstring their opponents. The only ones I expect that from are the fake Dems, and they aren't even participating in the process, they're just pawns.
Oh, and it might be illegal for them to be doing this anyways.

Oh yeah, and that equal pay thing? Walker is right on top of removing those protections for women in the workplace.
What a dick.
What a dick.
You forgot the discrimination damages thing.
There is now another twist in all of this:
Now that Romney's essentially wrapped up the GOP nomination... could Walker become his VEEP?
One UW-Milwaukee professor thinks so.
If that happened, I'd almost want to vote Republican to get his slimy butt out of the state....
