Republican MASSIVE Economic and Policy Failures in Wisconsin - Factcheck.org busts the lies on the right about their own poor job performance

Scott Walker is an ugly piece of work; in many ways he epitomizes all that is bad and wrong and discriminatory, all that is corrupted in government by big right wing big money running politics.
That Walker, and some of his political colleagues in elected office have faced recall elections is an indication of the Republican arrogant overreach that consistently characterizes their assumption of majority in government in recent years.  The right has not acted responsibly, they have not served the electorate, they have served big outside money and they have waged culture war instead of focusing on more legitimate legislation that was actually important and necessary.  What they did was divisive and served only a narrow point of a segment of the people of Wisconsin, not the interests and belief of the entire state as a whole.  That is bad government; that is the GOP and Tea Party.  They have been radical and extremist, and now they are being thrown out, and their legislation rejected because it is BAD.  The recall of Walker and his lieutenant governor and of multiple legislators is a referendum rejecting Republicans, including BY a significant segment OF Wisconsin Republicans.
So here is what Factcheck.org has to say about the recall of Governor Walker and the reality, not the spin, of his exceedingly lackluster job performance:

The Whole Truth in Wisconsin Air Wars

Sorting out the facts in the recall election for governor
Summary
If using partial truths in political advertising is an art, then ads in the Wisconsin recall election for governor should be in a museum. Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett are among the Democrats seeking to unseat Republican Gov. Scott Walker in a race that has attracted national attention. And Wisconsin’s airwaves have been filled with political ads largely funded by out-of-state money. But viewers who want the whole truth are advised to ask themselves, “What am I not being told?”

The Formal Recall Effort to Walk Governor Walker Out of Office Begins!

Let the collection of petition signatures commence (soon)!

From Chris Bowers of the Daily Kos:

	Dog gone, Last night, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin announced it will begin gathering petition signatures to recall Governor Scott Walker on November 15. They will have 60 days to gather a minimum of 540,206 signatures, with a filing deadline of January 13. Further, the Wisconsin Democrats have confirmed to Daily Kos they will work with citizen-driven, grassroots efforts to recall additional Republican state senators. After Democrats picked up two seats in August through successful recalls, Republicans now hold only a 17-16 advantage in the chamber. As you read this, the Wisconsin Dems are training volunteers to gather petition signatures. Let's help them out, and finish what was started during the epic protests back in February. Keep fighting, Chris Bowers Campaign Director, Daily Kos

I will be following developments on this campaign from some of the same excellent Wisconsin non-partisan sites that covered the previous elections.  These have been unprecedented political actions, in terms of scale and type of activity, in U.S. history, so I hope that our readers will apperciate this in terms not only of politics, but the larger perspective and context.
