• Of course the right wing wants us all to believe they are compassionate people and are crusading for the welfare of all. This ruse should be over by now, but too many people (voters) do not see it for what it truly is.

Republicans (especially the top 1 percent that controls it) it seems are prepared to spend any amount of money for politicalvictories but are reluctant to spend money on actual job creation.

There was no winner in this election. We are all losing. Elections now say that any political victory can be had with enough money spent. Sixty percent of Governor Walker’s 30 million dollars spent on the campaign came from outside Wisconsin.  It also says that if you are a public employee belonging to a union, you do not have the right as a group to negotiate better salary and benefits.
