    I am getting sick and tired of listening to people involved and engaged in the political process talking about politics. If I want to know what's really going on politically, I'll ask the guy covering college basketball!

    Better. Still doesn't correct the blatant misrepresentations of others by you on this thread, but it is something.

    old_tony is a working political professional? Seriously? Jesus weeps.

    The only blatant misrepresentation in this thread was Ronny's contention (in the quote of this response) that "there's no evidence that this actually happened." Not only did I provide the evidence, it came from a reporter for a liberal paper. It was never, as Ronny contended, just an unfounded charge.

    "You're wife's a fucking whore" is a perfect example of the people behind the recall.

    People on both sides say vile things. Even a political hack should know that, but the comment on a recall being illegitimate makes me think you don't.

    It always cracks me up when people on your side take Segway Jeremy Ryan seriously...He's kind of a joke.

    Yes, he's a joke. And another perfect representation of the recall folks.

    That last line is your opinion. Nothing more. It was on you to back up your claim, not Ronnie.

    And to say you didn't misrepresent anything on this thread is a blatant lie. You claimed Ronnie was saying he knew more than people who were there. He never did that. Just one example.

    Many, many of the folks working for the recall are decent, hard-working folks who disagree strongly with Walker and the manner in which he executed his vision.

    This is why I hate talking politics. Too many people on both sides of the aisle can't resist using a broad brush.

    Walker isn't being recalled because he is a Republican. He is being recalled because hundreds of thousands of people in Wisconsin believe he will hurt the state in the long run. Not all Republicans are viewed with such vitriol. Conversely, not all Democrats (and the folks involved in the recall) are the loons you suggest.

    I wish I could say you know better but I "know" you don't.

    It should be noted that for the most hated politician in the country, or at least that's the way some people want him portrayed, according to Nate Silver, he has a 48 percent approval rating and is a gigantic favorite to win the recall election.

    He should win the recall -- but only because the challengers will be so weak.

    Similar to another election we'll be staging in the fall. :)
