Let me know when you get the goalposts to their final position.

Ours say goon instead of thug.

It's not a goalpoast shift at all. Walker's reforms didn't cause school districts to be losing money, that was the dip in the economy. Walker's reforms are a reaction to the shortage.

You're basically blaming ambulances for accidents because they always end up at an accident. It's retarded.

What's retarded (ignoring your obvious goalpost shifting) is you not having a clue what you're taking about. Walker's reforms included huge cuts to school's budgets. They're expecting even bigger cuts next year.

They cut programs, and expect to cut more, and it's directly tied to Walker.

You're still blaming the fire on the fire engine. Wisconsin had a 3.6b budget deficit and spent 40% of it's budget on education. Cuts absolutely had to be made. Walker cut about 500/student, and his 'union busting' saves about 300 student. Walker attenuated education cuts as much as possible.

Basically, Walker inherited a **** situation caused by dem and labor cronyism, and fixed it rather quickly.

I'm just going to go with a forum standard 'lol ikes' at this point.

The truth, she burns!

You realize his final position was the one I was saying the whole time, right?

That's because you're dealing in absolutes.

Were there cuts in spending? Clearly. Were there any meaningful cuts to education services? No.

If there had been, we'd have heard about it ENDLESSLY throughout this recall campaign. Just one kid who can't do his AP classes anymore. One kid who lost a special needs tutor due to staff cuts. One kid who is somehow negatively affected in an academic sense by these cuts and we'd have seen him trotted out by now.

I'd post more links to all of those things happening but you'd give some ridiculous hand wave and ignore the facts like you did the previous 10 times.

I don't like either guy but I cannot get past this first video. Barrett is unwatchable. I generally abstain from voting for the least of two evils cnadidate but I'm seriously thinking about voting for walker.

ah yes, when all else fails and the money spigot is in danger of being tightened, appeal to emotion and trot out cute kids!

You mean the Democrats picked a weak, unlikable candidate? I, for one, am shocked!

My boss keeps talking about a poll that came out 'yesterday' that showed the race a dead heat again (she said it was something like 47.8 to 48.4) but I can't find anything. =\

ETA: I think she's talking about the poll that came out over a week ago but not sure. She's always really behind on news for some reason.
