Nothing is off limits for the Dems and their supporters!
This really takes the cake. Can't wait to read Ann's new book. Nothing is off limits. Dems are void of new ideas, the law and the constitution. Instrad, it's mob rule! This one really should make you guys on the left question what your morals are. Then again, when you support the killing of the unborn, I'm asking too much.

Which is funny because the Governor that did the most damage was Tommy Thompson. He was elected when the the economy was running on high, and kept on getting elected when he did nothing to make the state better. He was given credit for a booming economy and I'm not certain he can actually do more than basic arithmetic. The worst part was the bi-partisan support he had to pass some bad laws.
Thompson is the one who enacted the voucher system in Milwaukee that has done nothing but exacerbate an already bad situation. He also instituted BadgerCare which is Wisconsin's socialist health care coverage.
Yes, I know Scott McCallum was in briefly, but only after President Bush relieved my state of Thompson. He didn't make an impact at all, and came in after the economy was falling and was blamed for that. Which is why he never won an election. His "lame duck" term isn't worth mentioning because neither party really stood behind him on any matter.
Doyle, while I didn't care for him, didn't really do all that bad of a job. He pissed off both conservatives and liberals alike. He ended up being a wash as a Governor. Not really good, not really bad, but was nothing like Thompson who can't find his way out of a wet paper bag. He caused some long term problems as well.
Now we have Walker. Another dumbass. I don't know why my state can't get a decent gubernatorial candidate to run for office. All I had to choose from last time was Walker or Barrett in the end. Both had serious baggage, and both were corrupt politicians who are controlled by their supporters. Much like their Chicago counterparts often are as well. I couldn't win no matter how I voted.
Now I can't wait for the next election cycle. Maybe, just maybe, a good candidate will emerge.
Sfury, you said in another thread the Milwauke actually had improved a little bit since the voucher system was implemented. Certainly all the reports stated as much.
Do you have evidence of Walker's corruption? I have yet to see any reports detailing such corruption.
Now deal with the issue of this thread. Is nothing off limits to your buddies? Of all things you guys shouldnt involve your silly BS is special Olympics. Those kids have enough issues to deal with. Then you guys have to go in there and screw up one of the best events in their loves. That's shameful.

So fury, your saying that wasting billions of dollars on a go nowhere train was a good idea? Especially when we are broke as a nation and a country?
Or that you fellow wisconsin residents don't hav ethe right to defend themselves from murder and mayhem? Doyle twice vetoed concealed carry legislation.
He increased that bastian of socialism, badger care by amending it to included Badgercare Plus.
He also trampled the rights of the individual, when he passed the smoking ban.
So please tell me again how he was a good Gov., considering he never meet a tax increase he didn't like.
Hey, Doyle was a mixed bag. He did some good things, and some bad things. Mediocre at best. Still better than Tommy Thompson ever was. The biggest flaws about Doyle were his vetoing CC, and opening up more free trade with China allowing manufacturers to leave the state.
Did you miss the part about how Thompson implemented another state socialist program Sconny? Anything added to a bad program was only adding more waste. If Thompson had real convictions the program would have been killed before it got started.
Instead, of all the irony, it was what got him noticed by President Bush and he left the state. If the irony of that goes unnoticed by you, well, then, see it now.
Fieldmouse, the voucher system plunged the Milwaukee system into further chaos. It hit rock bottom after it was implemented. When you can't go lower, because you are the worst system in the US then all you can do at some point is go up. You still can't comprehend that Wisconsin has about an 80% proficient, or higher, literacy rate so I imagine you are one of the droputs from Milwaukee. Reading the charts and figuring out the meaning of the numbers was never something you could grasp even though it was explained to you in plain terms. From the website posting the facts no less. Not too mention by others on this site as well.
You should stick to BSing with the old folks at the local coffee spot. It's about all you can do Fieldmouse.

I can't believe you are going to bring up your failure to read the actual website facts you posted. The majority of 8 th graders in Wisconsin can't read at grade level. I even went as far as explained the graph to you before you choose to stop posting on that thread. Gee, I wonder why you couldn't explain where you were finding your numbers before you cut and ran. Do we need to bring that thread up? I'm game. Please do. You'll look just as bad again.
It interesting how you hate the socialized medicine your state implemented but yet haven't heard you utter a single complaint regarding Obamacare and his masive expansion of socialized medicine being forced on the states. Gee, I wonder why.
However, back to the thread. Why protest at special Olympics? Seriously. Protest at fund raiders if you want but why ruin their day? Is your cause that much more meaningful than those kids enjoying their day?

FYI, just in case you forgot the numbers. media matter is hardly a right wing hit site right? It is very telling how the left gets really excited that WI beat the national average despite having a failing rating over all. Some reason, kids don't matter but collecting that pay check for doing a bad job is.
Egg on your face again I guess. Now deal with the thread and explain why your pals feel it's alright to disrupt such an event?

Fieldmouse, the article you reference again removed the pie chart it had. Apparently it was too complicated to leave up.
Here is the link to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction data. The DPI is the organization that collects all of the data, and then sends it on to any federal agency. It's the information used by the state, and the federal government to determine any amount of funding Wisconsin public schools will get.
This has a simple bar graph to view. You can even move the mouse over the colors and get a percentage.
When you look at the 8th grade numbers, the only two that show the results you are looking for are red and yellow. I know you can't read the text explaining the definitions for the different colors so I'll help you out. The percentages for 8th graders that have less than a proficient reading level in Wisconsin, as of November 2010, adds up to 13%.
Seeing as their is a ~1% of untested students that means 14% of the kids are accounted for.
Now, doing simple math here (for everyone but you here) you take 100 -14 and you get 86.
That means 86% of 8th graders are at the federal level of proficient or higher reading level.
I know you won't grasp the meaning of the numbers and will claim Tressel was railroaded again, but the facts do speak for themselves. Why do I mention Tressel, no clue, but you don't make sense when you misinterpret simple to understand data either.
Nothing is off limits for the Dems and their supporters!
