How low will Walker sink? Pretty low to save the one job that matters: his.

That image is of a full-page newspaper ad taken out in the Janesville Gazette, the local newspaper in Paul Ryan's district. What it is, is thuggery in typeset letters. The names you can't read in the image are the names of teachers in Janesville who signed the petition to recall Scott Walker. Next to their names, is their salary. At the bottom of the ad, there is a space to sign to "opt-out" of any teacher's classroom who signed the petition.

The people of Janesville SHOULD be paying attention to what their precious Paul Ryan plans to do to their future.

I have read posts today that say Walker is ahead in several polls that have come out in Wisconsin, and for the life of me I can only assume the polls are being done in all republican areas, or those doing the polls are republicans. How can someone who sinks this low be up in the polls otherwise?

That's not how I heard it initially reported, anyway. Supposedly it's just a list of the highest paid teachers. Inexcusable either way.
