Scott Walker Recall: Organizers Collect 1 Million Signatures, Far Exceeding Number Required


Like unions or not, this issue is about ONE thing only: The Citizen's United Supreme Court decision and Republican electoral dominance.



All of these people cheering on Scott Walker fail to acknowledg­e several things:



1. Public sector unions were tolerated and even embraced by conservati­ves for GENERATION­S. Even now, Scott Walker isn't concerned about Wisconsin'­s LARGEST and most expensive public sector union--the police and fireman's union. It is probably just a coincidenc­e that union supported his candidacy.



2. Private sector employers have absolutely no trouble lobbying for massive infusions of public cash-- then using taxpayer cash to further lobby for more taxpayer cash. That only concerns Walker when there's a chance taxpayer cash may wind up in the pockets of his political opponents.



3. Wisconsin'­s budgetary crisis was solved and CAUSED by Walker. Anyone who bothered to pay attention would have noticed that revenue only cratered when Walker passed massive tax giveaways for corporatio­ns and Walker's political supporters­. This 'Crisis Capitalism­' is a very familiar technique Republican­s have used all across the United States--de­liberately start a raging budgetary inferno and expect to be praised for putting it out.



4. Right-wing schemes ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS fail... Spectacula­rly. About the only thing the GOP has ever successful­ly created is a list of lame excuses.
