Email, Wisconsin

Randy I am emailing you because you seem like a reasonable person who is fair and I love to read your blog even though I don’t agree with you.  I didn’t’ vote for Walker as I am a Democrat, not a liberal, but a Labor Democrat.  I am not shocked by what Walker is doing since if the watched anything he did in Milw County you could tell what he was going to do.  I have to say that those people saying they didn’t know either were not watching, didn’t care because they didn’t live in Milw County or were never Walker supports in the first place.  People keep saying that he never campaigned on this and I have two things to say to them.  You must need everything spelled out and you need to get out of your little bubble and into the real world.  I knew what we were getting.

Thanks for the email and reading the blog.  Very nicely put and I can respect people when they try to reason things out.  I do want to say that Governor Walker will do many things that he never said during his campaign promises/election events and that is to be expected.  What do people think he would only do JUST what he said and not do anything if he didn’t already say it?  Did he promise to NEVER do anything to the public sector unions?  Just because he didn’t say he wasn’t going to take away some of their collective bargaining privileges (it isn’t a GOD given right or any right) doesn’t mean he lied or broke a promise since he didn’t make one.  You can go after Walker for breaking a campaign promise when he does, but you cannot go after him if he just didn’t say anything while he felt that people could get the drift from his frustration of dealing with Public Unions in Milwaukee County government.  We cannot expect perfection from Governor Walker or anyone of that matter for we all have flaws and is it right to judge him as a man based on our expectations of what we thought he should do or not do?  Judge him as an elected official understanding that he will do things you don’t like and things you like.  I love President Reagan, but remember the Iran Contra Affair?  Did he mislead the public?

Dude the sooner you get it the sooner you will know.  You are on the wrong side. Your so called friend who doesn’t agree with you because he is a public employee is just a strawman, dude.

No, we as a Taxpayer, City, County, State, and Country cannot keep up with this ever expanding government and entitlements.  Government was never intended to be Mother Hen! No my friend is real!
