    Check the post after that one. Reported by a Capital Times reporter. The reporter is the original source of the quote, not any politician.

    You would think the Chicago-based private detectives Walker paid $109,255 to review the petitions could have uncovered such a significant amount of fraud. They didn't. (Perhaps the Governor should have hired OT.)

    If old_tony is a journalist, he has less ethics than a reporter golfing at Augusta the day after The Masters.

    Maybe he's not.

    But guy from the Milwaukee paper definitely is.

    That's part of the conspiracy -- they game the system at both ends.

    I'll guarantee you they did uncover significant fraud. But when you're given just days to challenge signatures gathered over months, the clock runs out.

    As to the argument about whether more people are for or against Walker's recall, isn't that going to be confirmed pretty conclusively in June?

    Indeed. And it's instructional to note the Walker got more votes in one day than his opponents got signatures in two months. I'm willing to bet he'll get even more votes this June than he did in Nov. 2010.

    "Just days"?

    I think you know how ridiculous it is to compare a full election to petition signatures.

    You should also consider your man's declining approval ratings in that time.

    Yes, let's just say that! Smh...

    A question for you, from an independent:

    You've accused the democrats of having no "respect for election results, election integrity or the Constitution."

    You've labeled the recall elections illegitimate.

    If those opposing Walker are trampling on the Constitution and staging an illegitimate recall, why is the state allowing the process to proceed?
