Saturday evening the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published a sweeping endorsement of Governor Walker in the upcoming Wisconsin recall election. The news was a stunning endorsement for Walker, who faces democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in June, given that the newspaper has been known to have a liberal bent.



In their endorsement, the MJ Sentinel not only defended Walker’s political decisions (they dismiss that Walker’s policies are killing job growth) but also suggest that a more appropriate read is that either that Walker overpromised or that “the political turmoil in the state is inhibiting job creation.”

Acknowledging that his worst flaw may have been his “in-your-face style at the start,” the newspaper goes on to credit Walker for reflecting that, in this respect, he knows he could have done better.

Moreover, they suggest that they’re not buying Walker’s union opponents’ claim that this was a one-issue recall:


Walker’s rematch with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was prompted by one issue: Walker’s tough stance with the state’s public-employee unions. It’s inconceivable that the recall election would be occurring absent that. And a disagreement over a single policy is simply not enough to justify a vote against the governor.

The endorsement admonishes Mayor Barrett, calling him “tentative and slow to act” and “risk-averse to a fault,” while saying that “Walker’s attacks on the state’s largest city [Milwaukee] are overblown and divisive.”

Could this be in reaction to Friday’s news that Barrett skipped out on two law enforcement recognition ceremonies this week? Barrett had been scheduled to attend both the Milwaukee police department’s Merit Awards Ceremony on Tuesday as well as an annual ceremony to “honor the courage and sacrifice of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty” this past Wednesday. Barrett chose to cancel Wednesday’s event in order to meet with union organizers.

This past week also saw the publishing of several polls showing Walker taking the lead against challenger Barrett.

But underlying the paper’s endorsement of Walker is their broader assault on the basis for the recall itself, suggesting that only criminal wrongdoing should be sufficient grounds for the action:


Even if you disagree with Walker’s policies, does that justify cutting short his term as governor? And if so, where does such logic lead? To more recall elections? More turmoil?

It’s time to end the bickering and get back to the business of the state. We’ve had our differences with the governor, but he deserves a chance to complete his term. We recommended him in 2010. We...
 
Walker is a lying, dictatorial, profiteer that has sold the state and continues to sell the state to out of state multi-millionare/billionares that couldn't care less about the workers of Wisconsin. The sad fact that so many are too blind to see is that once the governor and his henchmen have finished decimating public employees the private sector is next.

If Walker is so sure of his plan, why does he need to do the majority of his fundraisng OUT OF STATE?

All it takes is for ONE of the senate recall elections to go Democratic and the reign of terror is over anyways. The right will lose its majority and thus have no power to ram things down the workers throats.

You mean like the unions do. :D
 
There's a gymnasium of ignorant shit going on in his cranial cavity, that's for sure.:D

As long as he keeps paying dues it will be fine. For the international reps any way, without dues they would have to give up their lifetime jobs and find a real one. :)
 
If you don't live in Wisconsin, why do you care?

Further if the best you have is idiotic, mindless comments, then it is pointless to actually talk facts with you.

Have a nice day!
 
You guys are hysterical. You have nothing to support your view so you immediately jump on me.

Kind of a funny attitude since the right has been trying to kill porn, including sites like this for years.

Have a nice day because you aren't pissing me off, or running me off either.
