Bawk bawk says Walker
He's scared.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/wisconsin-dems-stand-by-plan-to-recall-gov-walker-despite-losing-majority-of-senate-recalls/2011/08/10/gIQAytfa6I_story.html

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he thinks voters showed they want more bipartisanship from their elected leaders even though his Republican Party maintained its control of the state Senate by winning four of six recall elections.

Walker told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he believes no matter which party is in control voters want lawmakers to work together on jobs and the economy.

Democrats say they intend to move ahead with attempts to recall Walker from office next year.

Walker says he will “leave it up to the pundits” to decide whether Tuesday’s Republican victories take the wind out of efforts to recall him. But he says ultimately he will be judged on how many jobs are created in the state.

1. He will be judged by how many jobs are created
Laying off union workers and hiring non union workers is not "creating jobs" it's just shifting jobs and lowering benefits and wages for those who remain employed. That will not boost the economy or increase consumer spending. But shifting jobs around is the only jobs plan republicans have. Lowering taxes with the reasoning that the wealthy who benefit from lower taxes will hire more is fantasy.

Anyway, Walker is a tool. Hope he is recalled and goes away forever. Go Wisconsin!

2. Only jobs he's created
are low paying jobs such as McDonald's and the Dells. More jobs are leaving the state and any better jobs were negotiated by the Dems while they were still in power.
