It is not rush that spurred my comment about insulting me and my state, but rather it was the following that you posted during college finals and or a following move when I was ticked, but too busy to respond.

It is no surprise, considering what's happened in MI, WI, FL and OH. Someone has to vote these devils in, and it sure isn't thoughtful, caring folks with a sense of justice. If they're clueless enough to say something so moronic, imagine how they voted!

If he called YOUR daughter a slut, wouldn't you be a bit less of a disciple at this point? If you consider him worth defending, then I feel sorry for you.

If by "slut" you are talking about that female student from a Catholic college who expects the college to pay for her birth control (which goes against their beliefs and constitutional right of religious freedom) then I'll say this...As a half Baptist, half Catholic, Christian I don't hold that woman in high regard, and I heard what rush said before and after "slut"(he called her a whore too and WELL justified it with logic and no one complained about him calling her a whore which is IMHO a stronger pejorative). The other incident I don't know about or care about, and frankly the dems have slandered Palin (sometimes hiding behind comedy), also to an extent Bachman, so brutally and without reason that I feel sorry for you defending them(and no fake crying I'm serious!), what they have done goes far beyond Rush's mild insults into such disgusting vulgarity and misogyny that it should not even be uttered in the presence of children.
Also most companies would not be global if the dems had not regulated them off the face of the country.
As a hardline Wisconsin Tea Party Conservative your not gonna sway me. Especially after seeing WITH MY OWN EYES the contrast between the democratic union goons who wrecked the state capital after Walker's reforms(most were paid to come BTW) and Tea Party protesters at a major Milwaukee rally who came behaved civilly and left the place spick and span(This was the biggest crowd of people I've ever seen bigger than a state fair and all came simply form a small mention on the radio). Insulting me and the people I respect and admire because you disagree will not change my mind, though if you do it right I may mentally lump you in with the hired goons that have been patrolling my state.

You are wrong about the spending. The unions spent millions on behalf of Barret that that were not counted as campaign activity but rather union activity the spending was very close to even if you don't ignore that KEY detail.

One last thing for you to sit on is that walker took a strong conservative approach, improved the state(he turned a monsterous state deficit into a surplus, freed up localities and their school boards to get their budgets right[so right that property taxes have dropped and schools are hiring], and all only at the expense of making some public employees work under similar conditions to their private sector counterparts[they still have it {too?-}much better than their private sector counterparts and should count their blessings that Walker went easy on them]), he ran on his policy record and won.
Obama did an equally strong job making policy that swings completely the other way, but should he employ Walker's election strategy of running on policy record Obama will destroy his own chances of getting re-elected as the majority of Americans strongly dislike his defining policies.
In short Walker merely had to say 'look around you at the improvements I've made' but Obama will have to distract from his own record and try to convince America that he is not in fact the politician we have come to know. And don't get me started on Barret I go to school in Milwaukee and can rattle off a long tick list of that guy's garbage. I'm surprised that Milwaukee has not recalled him yet.

This we can agree upon, and had you not gone into politics in the first place I would have not responded.

Have a nice day!
