So much for appearance of judicial conflicts of interest worrying the Wisconsin high court.

The selling off of the highest courts in the land to the highest bidder has been done deliberately, and only demonstrates how far the right wing is willing to go to hijack our system of government for their rich corporations. In the US Federal Courts and SCOTUS, it is the most far right, activist benches in a century http://goo.gl/N7kx8

I hate to say it, but I love it. Those people up their that thought the Republicans were the answer is finally finding out that they don't care about the middle class or the average working class people who make this country. They are only concerned about big businesses and the wealthy. I told a number of people these states will be sorry and they also thought the Republicans were going to help them out. Ha Ha. I told them Republicans for many years have always been for the wealthy and big business. Now look at Wis., Ohio, Mich. New Jersey, NH and there will be more to come. The tea baggers are no different. Just look at Palin and Bachmann the two bimbos.

This is all nothing new - but perhaps people are finally waking up to the facts - the GOP does not even hide anymore and they lie right to your face and grin doing it .....

Does that mean we are all doomed? That it is too late to get rid of them?

I wondered as many still do if the Bush brothers stole the Presidential election from Gore - just a few well placed computer chips and do you remember the news networks were totally baffled by the results -and they spent hundreds of millions to get it right - and I also worry that the wealthy ruling class already has a stranglehold on our democracy -

How else could FOX be allowed to lie to the public on public broadcasting by the supreme court and corporations be given Cart Blanche to buy votes with unlimited campaign financing.

How else could public broadcasting be snuffed out by the GOP?

I guess we'll have to wait and see - unless we start to use the power of the people to recall these despots and demagogues before 2012. The time to start is now - I believe there's a window of several months that may vary by state - but then we have the federal GOP house politicians we could recall - I wonder what the laws are.

    awesome. Keep it up, Wisconsin GOP. If you do this long enough, even the teabag voters may get a clue about what they really voted for.
