At grocery store today there was a real booming

[EC]

conversation about Walker today. As I walked into Piggley Wiggley today there was a bunch of seniors and clerks standing around the registers complaining about Walker. One older man said, well he certainly won't be there in 4 years...as if in unison everyone there just yelled, he'll be out long before that..


So I think the recall is alive and booming...I smiled the whole time I was shopping.

1. And I'm smiling after reading your posting

6. i think i heard there is a way to get him out of office, but has to be a year in. nt

[MadMaddie]

14. The other option is to recall 8 to 9 Republican Senators

which basically neuters him....

[quakerboy]

20. Can Wisconsin just choose e) all of the above

[CLANG]

46. Just 3 would put the dems in the majority.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

50. only if . . .

either they change their votes, (and don't change their minds under pressure from Wanker)
or they get pushed out.
But then, we still must win those elections.

[CLANG]

62. Well, of course we would need to win the recall elections

I'm just saying while we may need to recall 8 just to get 3, all we need is three.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

65. never turn aside a cushion

not when so much is at stake.

[CLANG]

67. I agree +10000 percent!

[Lorien]

7. I hope that we can get the same thing going in Florida

people down here seem completely disconnected from politics.

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. *sigh* too right.

I'm going to a rally tomorrow night and I fear it will be anemic to say the least.

[csziggy]

24. Which town are you go to the rally in?

There one here, Tallahassee, tomorrow, but I can't go. I could barely walk today and the hills in downtown Tally are not good for my knees, much less the standing.

[Divine Discontent]

27. agreed, Lorien, agreed! There's too many that are disconnected, sadly, most (not all) of them are

GOPers, thus, why they continue to vote for disgusting pieces of dung like Tea Party sweetheart, Rick Scott.


I was telling my one GOP (she's not militant about it, just negative about our side, and ignorant about why she's a GOPer you know the type), about the Wisconsin mess, because she saw my eyes so fixed on reading Cenk's words on the TV at Chevy's Mexican Restaurant (all the tv's were on ESPN & MSNBC, 3 of each!), and asked what I was so interested in, I told her what was going on and told her how it's disgusting that these governors, ours included want to ignore promoting jobs, and protecting the suffering who have little as it is, and want to cut the budgets for every social need it seems, but are all for corporate tax breaks, and my goodness, hallelujah, she agreed with me for once!

[mwb970]

34. And Ohio please!

We're stuck with an impetuous millionaire banker-boy man-child as a governor. Someone help us!

[Gaedel]

35. Not entirely true

In Miami, they are voting to recall the mayor and one of the commissioners.

[Dappleganger]

39. Too bad we don't even have a recall option in place.

[watercolors]

59. There is a FB page for the recall of Prick Scott.

[Zephie]

8. I hope I can walk into a Publix and hear them saying things like that about Rick Scott soon

He desperately wants to be Walker, I think...

[Angry Dragon]

9. I am glad you had an enjoyable shopping experience

[NillaWafers]

11. He is such a jackass.

BTW, I didn't know Piggly Wiggly was still a company.

Used to shop at those stores in the early 80's.

[EC]

12. Yep, still around

And still Union.

[NillaWafers]

16. I did not know the Pig was union! Woot!

[Greybnk48]

28. Not all of our Pigs in WI are union.

We have two in my area. One is, and one is not. They had both been union, but someone bought one of them and got rid of the union last year. : (

[bbgrunt]

29. try Woodman's. it is employee owned and the place to go.

[EC]

54. Only when I do a yearly stock-up

Too big for me...Kerumba...

[MadMaddie]

13. Fantastic!

[reformist2]

15. This was the straw that broke the camel's back.

[Cleita]

17. error

[Cleita]

18. You're in the eye of the storm, WI.

Sounds promising. Let's hope the rest of those Governors who want to be Walker, get the boot too.

[Shagbark Hickory]

19. You have The Pig in Wisconsin?

Hmmph. You learn something new every day.

[proud patriot]

21. good to hear

[Imagevision]

22. Florida's Rick Scott - it'll just be a matter of time before he bests Walker...

[avebury]

40. RIck Scott Giveway

Rachel Maddow was talking last night on her show about Scott taking $1.7 Billion away from education and giving it out as tax breaks and giveaways. I just don't get it. The Republicans don't even make an effort to be fiscally responsible and deal with their budget problems.

[Blacksheep214]

23. Walker was talking up tourism today

Any Union families thinking about visiting Wisconsin besides going to protest?

Elections DO have consequences.

[Sherman A1]

61. Wisconsin was on my list of possible vacation spots this year

but, not any more. Went to Michigan last year and Wisconsin might have been the next trip.
I think we should all email the Tourism Board and let them know we are not coming.

[DesertFlower]

25. K&R. nt

[defendandprotect]

26. Good news! And, know "Piggley Wiggley" from "Driving Ms Daisy" -- !!

:)

[Chipper Chat]

38. Also Close Encounters of the Third Kind

(truck driving to Devils Tower)

[AlbertCat]

42. "Piggley Wiggley" from "Driving Ms Daisy" -- !!

Yeah... I thought Piggly Wiggly was a Southern thing.

Our last one closed 2 years ago. :(

Best meat dept in town.... well, used to be....

[hfojvt]

45. at least you spelled it right, with no E's

I guess it did start in Memphis, Tn http://www.pigglywiggly.com/about-us

Sorta created the modern grocery store.

I think of them as quintessentially Wisconsin, since my grandfather was talking about them in Madison.

[Missy Vixen]

30. We heart you, Wisconsin

I hope you all are feeling the love from all over the country. And, yeah, we're all hoping that Walker is out of office long before his four years are up.

Recall, baybee!

:woohoo:

[deacon]

31. Recall his buddies in the meantime. n/t

[Mimosa]

32. I'm thinking 'recall'

Is there a chance in Hades the Wisconsin legislature will be able to pass a law outlawing 'prank calls'?

Everybody ought to learn who the Koch brothers are and hear that recording often enough that it will sink in. ;)

[mwb970]

33. Wait till his disapproval rating goes over 70%.

That ought to be the tipping point. He's on his way to it right now.

[Enthusiast]

36. K&R! Awesome! nt

[Fire1]

37. K&R

[pink-o]

41. isn't there a way to just impeach the bastard? Fraud or false pretenses or something?

Waiting a year for a recall seems totally inefficient, seeing as he's abusing power right now. What's on the Wisconsin state charter that would get him outta there tomorrow?

[dragonlady]

55. Impeachment would bring us the lieutenant governor

who is just as bad. Rebecca Kleefisch is very right-wing, used to be a TV reporter, and is married to a state representative. I have heard that the recall of Walker, when it comes in January, will also include recall of Kleefisch.

[midnight]

57. Dragon Lady I don't know how I didn't know this, but I didn't.

Is it Sen. Kleefisch? I will have to look this up... I don't know where I read this, but Rebecca doesn't have some of the Lt. Gov. responsibilities... Those were given to two other men?

[dragonlady]

66. Rep. Joel Kleefisch

38th Assembly District, representing Oconomowoc. According to Wikipedia, they were both reporters at WISN-TV, Channel 12 in Milwaukee.

[Oceansaway]

43. K&R...n/t

[efhmc]

44. Wish we had just a modicum of your spirit here in Texas, a state I

gave trying to defend and be proud of since after Ann Richards was governor.

[pansypoo53219]

47. last night while playing sheepshead(german, mostly WI card game) on yahoo,

the anti union players didn't speak. only a few anti-walker coments, but i'd say no support. learning to keep their teabag mouths shut.

[AllyCat]

48. We are working on the 8 senators now. The wait on Walker will be painful

but will probably just make him easier to remove.

[boomerbust]

49. Where in Wi. EC?

:hi:

[EC]

52. Kenosha

just above the state line by the lake.


Where American Motors started (now Chrysler)- it's definitely a union town - the last Chrysler plant just closed, but we are hoping another auto manufacturer moves in since it was just retooled with state of the art production lines.

[kag]

51. Your post made my day!

I get so down reading the news these days, because none of it is good.

THANK YOU for some good news!

:bounce: :bounce: :headbang: :headbang: :applause: :applause:

[Turbineguy]

53. I like it!

:-)

[Boswell]

56. ah, been so long since I went to a Piggly Wiggly

nice to hear they still attract quality customers :)

[xchrom]

58. Awesome. nt

[joshcryer]

60. piggy wigley! omg thought they were gone

[nadinbrzezinski]

63. You just made MY WEEK

[walldude]

64. This weekend when the farmers show up...

The scales will tip over. I hear they are attempting to get 1000 tractors to Madison. That will be a hard to ignore sight and Fox will have a hell of a time attempting to paint farmers as union thugs.
