Yes it is true that Walker won his recall. Many people who voted to keep him in office stated they would not vote for him in a regular election. But they felt this was not the intended use of the recall provision. They felt if he was recalled it would set up future recalls by the opposing party whenever unpopular decisions were made.

What don’t you enlarge the discussion presented in New York Times by JAmes B sTewart on 8/25/12 ,
Apparently , in 2010 , Mitt Romney declare 2,73 millions of income abruad and 2.5% in local taxes , He declared $392,000 in the USA
and payed 392,000 in taxes , or 13.9% in the USA.
It is disgusting to see a candidate/president who manage to report 87% of his rather nice income outside of his country .
What kind of citizen is that.

I thank you immensely for your informative post that refutes Lying Ryan’s blatantly false claims blaming President Obama for the fate of your former workplace. Your truthful narrative does even more to place Weathervane Willard’s partner in an even more unfavorable light, since it shows him as being instrumental in the closing that cost so many people their jobs. I’m quite sure that his transparent lies on national TV added insult to injury.

Not only that, but if you listen to Paul Ryan quoting Obama, what Ryan says Obama promised was: “IF they had the government support they needed, THEN they could stay open a hundred years”.

Number one, that ain’t no promise to keep anything open. It’s a conditional statement; IF they had the requisite support, THEN they could stay open indefinitely.

And that would have been true – IF Paul Ryan and his assh*t teabagger buddies hadn’t conspired to make sure that Obama was stopped from getting anything done, no matter how badly the American people needed it, THEN that plant, and millions of other American jobs, might not have gone to third world sweat shops.

Of course, IF Paul Ryan wasn’t a conspiring traitor, THEN none of this would have happened – but then, Mitt wouldn’t be quite so rich.

I WORKED AT THE JANESVILLE GM PLANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! First of all, lay off the union! Our union representatives had appoitments to talk to Ryan in D.C. several years before the announcement of the plant closing. They wanted to talk to him about the fear that GM would close the plant. Ryan continuously cancelled the appointments for every reason under the sun until the delegation left D.C. He does not care about the working class. As the unions have grown weaker and disappeared from the landscape, so has the middle class. Do your homework–when the middle class does well, everyone does better–even the wealthy. This generation of wealthy doesn’t get it. They just want more for themselves.

Second of all, GM announced the plant was closing (BY 2010) in June of 2008; before Obama even received the democratic nomination. In late July of 2008, I along with about 800 others were permanently laid off. By November of 2008, GM announced they would close the Suburban line, which was down from two shifts to one, in late December of 2008. Merry Christmas. The Izusu line was kept in operation until April of 2009. There were less than 40– yes, forty–peoply on that line.

A company as big as GM doesn’t make a decision like that in one day or even one year. They had that planned for years–all under the Bush administration. GM will not be back in Janesville in that same building. It is too old and decrepit. It cannot be updated to their liking. If GM comes back to Janesville, it will be in a new plant.

A Former GM Janesville Line Worker
