a hard right agenda, in a blue state. Walker waged a direct and very public attack on the major constituencies of the Democratic Party, rolling back rights for women, the working class, and the young with measures such as ending collective bargaining for state employees, privatizing state assets, and repealing Wisconson’s equal pay provisions for women. His agenda provoked a fierce reaction – – Wisconsin citizens occupied the Statehouse for months - and then a recall.

Up and down the ticket, Democrats are operating under the shadow of the President, associated with unpopular policies that make the lives of voters worse and show government to be an incompetent, corrupt handmaiden to big business. So they keep losing."

That's what the article is about - why isn't anyone talking about that evil that is Scott Walker?
Look around - why are more people joining those in poverty, while investment bankers, venture capitalists, and junk bond traders like Mi$$ Rmoney are parading their wealth around in our faces? When I look for cause I tend to follow the money, and it's easy to see who has it.
That is happening under our current policies. One can make all the excuses they want, but where was the real fight to get something better or die trying?
Because there are people who are no longer with us today who died as a result of fraud or cuts, simply so the people with the money could profit. It has been going on for several years now, and yet we haven't stopped it? If Democrats don't, who will? And if they won't , who needs 'em?
Why must people complain about someone who just wants the Democrats to win, or at least our common enemy to lose, or, failing that, to stop acting as serfs to the monied class? Scott Walker is hurting people today. Still. And with all the work Democrats did he won bigger this time than he did last time. And people turned out, by golly.
The rich guy's money can only buy so many people, however. A persuasive message that motivates people's spirit could overcome that. I believe (sorry, into Oz mode for a moment) that if we could hold a persuasive message or real opportunity together as Democrats we could make those people so mad they would throw their 42" digital monitor at the next one of these little Republican turds that dared show their face.
Then how would the Koch's spend their kabillion dollars?
But maybe they are getting help. From us. 
"...he has indeed nothing more than the power that you confer upon him to destroy you. Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you, if you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many arms to beat you with, if he does not borrow them from you? The feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they are not your own?
How does he have any power over you except through you?"
de La Boetie, about 1552
Imho, Democrats, and the country and our neighbors, win when they fight for real opportunity for everyone. The Republicans have a plan, the systematic destruction of the lives that depend on programs the Democrats put in place.
Our plan? To Not Let That Happen!
uh huh.
How about a plan to employ 25 million people for two years, open multiple vo-techs for modern skills, math, metallurgy and philosophy in every state, teach business models, including cooperative business, we cover the tuition because you will likely start a business and pay taxes. At a higher rate than Mi$$ Rmoney, I bet. Maybe update some stuff, tell the congressional thugs trying to block innovation to take a hike and put their pictures on bulletin boards across the U.S. as people standing in between "you and a job"? Talk investment, not debt. Debt can be addressed with the right investment. Assuming we do that.
Anyway...
Our enemies and their destruction are my favorite topic today
Think Scott Walker is going to jail?
