thread fail, singleman, we've already had proof provided here that the 20/1 claim was an outright lie.....sorry.....
Wow, misery eh?
He took a deficit and turned it into a surplus, adding jobs, all while doing what he said he would do. It sure must be miserable to be almost 2 full points below the national unemployment level... To have more jobs than before he took office, to successfully turn around a deficit that was sucking his state into the quicksand... What a terrible man! Saving the state from bankruptcy! BastIGE!!!!shiftplusone!

How Republicans Are Preventing Thousands Of Wisconsin Students From Voting Today
MADISON, Wisconsin — Voter ID will not be in effect for today’s recall vote in Wisconsin, but that won’t stop last year’s anti-voter bill from disenfranchising thousands of students across the state.
A year ago, Wisconsin Republicans pushed through Assembly Bill 7, which enacted one of the worst forms of voter ID in the nation. Since then, two state judges have blocked voter ID from taking effect because the Wisconsin state Constitution guarantees that “[e]very United States citizen age 18 or older who is a resident of an election district in this state is a qualified elector of that district,” regardless of whether or not they have an ID.
However, a little-noticed provision in AB 7 will likely prevent thousands of college students from voting in today’s recall election.
Section 12 of the new law increases the time period a citizen must live in one location in order to register there from 10 days to 28 days. Though seemingly innocuous, the problem is that the five largest colleges in Wisconsin — University of Wisconsin-Madison (40,000 students), University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (27,500 students), Marquette University (11,500 students), University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh (11,500 students), and University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (11,000 students) — all had their graduations either the weekend of May 12 or the weekend of May 19, 24 days and 17 days ago, respectively.
Therefore, any student at these schools who registered to vote at school but is now home for the summer will not be permitted to update their registration at their parents’ house because they will have been home for less than 28 days. Under the old law, a student not on campus for the summer would have been permitted to update her registration at the polls and vote because she will have been home (or elsewhere off-campus) for more than 10 days.
As a result, thousands of Wisconsin students will likely be barred from taking part in today’s recall vote.
Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug LaFollette worried about the impact it could have on turnout. “It will really have a negative impact among college students,” LaFollette told ThinkProgress.

Hey, guess what Ken? Walker is going to win today. He is leading in the polls amongst nearly every demographic. The only group that supports Barrett are public union workers, but the margin is only 3 percentage points. Barrett is going to LOSE in a landslide. Tonight, I'm going to fix myself a drink, and watch as the Democrats make asses of themselves on national television. I suggest you keep away any sharp objects tonight, because it's going to be a blowout for Walker. Your union slugs won't be able to cheat enough to steal this one.
You simply cannot handle that Walker's reforms are WORKING for Wisconsin. What's wrong with you people?
