Stay classy, Lena Taylor!
One of the AWOL Wisconsin Democratic State Senators currently hiding out in Illinois, Lena Taylor, called radio station WLS in Chicago (3/4/11) to "present" her views on the political showdown currently going on in Madison. All she ended up doing was embarrassing herself. Ms. Taylor managed to provide an excellent example of the "do as we say, not as we do" liberal mentality, near the end of this broadcast. Ms. Taylor has the nerve to tell Governor Walker he has to "have some balls and come to the table." Remember, these words are coming from someone who is hunkered down, hiding out in another state, in order to avoid doing their job... Ah, the hypocrisy of the left.
Stay classy, Lena!
See if you can decipher what Ms.Taylor is ranting about:
If there was any common sense in the world, State Senator Lena Taylor and her fellow AWOL Dems would be out of a job. For now, however, the people she was elected to represent have got to be hoping she stays in Illinois and never comes back.

This comment is from someone in her own party, History has a tendency of repeating itself.
Do you think that when Scott Walker defeated her for the Milwaukee County Supervisor she maybe carried a little bit of a grudge?
I believe Ms. Taylor and Mr. Holloway have very much in common.
Qoute-- State Senator Lena Taylor made Milwaukee Magazine’s list of the worst legislators in Wisconsin, I noted I was no fan of Sen. Taylor’s. At the risk of jeopardizing my standing as a liberal, I’ll just say that I find Sen. Taylor to be a less than impressive legislator and campaigner, and I think her constituents would be better served with someone more effective.
Sen. Taylor is also good at generating news, and not necessarily in a good way.
I maybe off a little but Mr. Walker beat her 57% to 42%

whats going on is nothing new. An old corrupt party is removed and the withdraws from the amebas are starting to take place. iberal media will spin all this so to sell papers and news for their defunct newspaper. I have reads polls where the questions are asked such as do you still agree with gov unions bargaing for pension rights when the gov employee doesn’t pay in or is getting gold plated deals. The ‘No’s” are overwhelming. Remember, news sells mostly when dishonest politicians are making such unrestrained and unfounded remarks with such noxious undertones. She’ll be removed soon. Unless Taylor is like Hussein Obama and all the blacks will vote for her because she is black and dishonest.

Go Lena and the cowardly 14
WE LOVE YOU IN WISCONSIN. Fight Wanker's tyranny!!!!
So what you’re saying is you love a coward, and anyone who shirks their elected duty.
Ms. Taylor has a very embarrassing past but that’s OK with you as long as you get what you want.
I’m glad she’s on your side because if she were on mine I would be totally embarrassed.
By the way she was one of the originators of calling Mr. Walker Hitler are you also proud of that? But I'm sure thats doesn't matter to you either.
You people still have card banc on saying whatever comes to mind or doing anything you want to push your beliefs, hence run away from your duties.
It’s funny how they ran to Illinois it’s about the only state more corrupt then Wisconsin.
They fit right in

Walker, get the job done already. You have more tools at your disposal to get this through, now start using them. They're not coming back, they don't care who you fire. Only 10,000 protesters yesterday, they're getting tired. Now do what I voted for you to do, and get to work!

And isn't it interesting how the Urinal/Sentinel is all gaa-gaa over a poll of 603 adults showing that Walker has an unfavorable approval rating. Well, duh! After being bashed repeatedly by the paper and television news, who are doing nothing more than feeding into and supporting the protesters, of course some people who are clueless will bite. However, there are still many of us who do not reside at: Liberalism Ground Zero (aka Madison or "The People's Republic of Madison") who DO support Walker. But the leftie media is not interested in those who support Walker and approve of his budget-repair bill and budget.
We are still the silent majority.
I urge you to contact Scott Walker and pledge your support. He needs to hear from the many of us who are clearly not on the radar screen of the local paper and television stations. (Case in point: Fox 6 news last night - we had to turn it off, after watching story upon story on: the protesters. Yet, nothing about anyone who may agree with Walker. And after a feature on that big blowhard, uber-leftie loser Michael Moore (who was in Madison to support the 60's throwbacks) we couldn't watch anymore. Too disgusting. It was clear that FOX 6 has an agenda - either that or they are incapable of locating anyone who agrees with Walker.

Just a brief sampling:
"When asked whether they favored "limiting" public employees ability to negotiate over non-wage issues: the poll splits 47% in favor, 50% opposed. (That is within the margin of error.)
When that question is changed to whether employees should be "stripped of their rights to collective bargaining," along with other loaded language, support drops to 32%.
So wording obviously matters. A lot."

Ah, stay classy, Ms. Taylor! Rather, I should say: Stay in Illinois!

The Fox News poll is based on landline and cell phone interviews with approximately 900 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R). For the total sample, it has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. When necessary, minor weights are applied to key demographic variables to bring the sample into conformity with the most reliable demographic profiles. Fox News polls are not weighted by political party. Results from Fox News polls before February 2011 were conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corp.

Although I enjoy reading your blog posts and generally agree your point of view, Mrs, Hemmer, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to bash the company that is giving you a voice by giving you this blog?
sharpaxe - Mar 07, 2011 1:33 PM
Can they declare that these seats are vacant, thus forcing an election? Or do we have to wait for the recall process, which will take months and months, ultimately forcing thousands upon thousands of layoffs?
Don't we, as an electorate, have the constitutional (U.S. or Wisconsin) right of government or representation?

I am beholden to no one when it comes to my blogging. I was asked, as a conservative, to do a blog a few years ago - by livinglakecountry. I agreed. They knew what they were getting when they signed me up. By your views, any conservative writer who gets the occasional column in the Urinal/Sentinel on the editorial pages should tone down their stance in an effort to appease the paper. No way.
I have no respect for the Urinal/Sentinel - it is not a journalistic endeavor anymore. It reports the news with an extreme liberal slant. Just read the past few days worth on the over-the-top Walker bashing and fawning and slobbering in adoration of the protesters in Madison for an excellent example of the demise of true reporting. The who, what , why, where, when, and how have been forgotten. I have no respect for such biased reporting - journalism as we know it has ceased to exist. It all started with Uncle Wally Cronkite stating his own personal views on the war in Vietnam. (And views that were often wrong and outright incorrect.) That seems to have been the green light that others needed to abandon real reporting in favor of opinion reporting. And if I can speak on behalf of conservatives and continue to point out the facts and stories that the liberal media refuses to present, so be it.

Where else but in government could 14 people run and hide out in another state for weeks and NOT lose their jobs??? What is wrong with this picture? And - as I have pointed out before - the hypocrisy of the left is shocking. What group constantly cries about "disenfranchising" voters by requiring an ID at the polls, yet has not uttered a peep about real disenfranchising - done by their own Democratic Senators who are NOT representing the voters - the people they were elected to represent. That is REAL disenfranchising! What a bunch of hypocrites! But, yet, not surprising, coming from the left!
