Oh Ba ba

This upsets me since those of you that have read my blog on a regular basis know that I was hoping Diamond Jim would be gone and now Barbara Lawton would now be the governor of Wisconsin. You have let me down! I no longer can back you in any political future!


"Lt. gov. says use of word was inexcusable

The Associated Press • May 29, 2008



KEWAUNEE — The lieutenant governor is apologizing for using the word “scabs” to describe replacement workers at Kewaunee Fabrication." Lawton apologizes for “scabs” comment | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

Barbara Lawton, Green Bay, used the word a couple of times while visiting striking union workers outside the Kewaunee plant earlier this week.

Boilermakers Local 487 has been on strike since May 12 over wages and benefits. The company has been operating with temporary workers since May 19.

Some replacement workers told WLUK-TV they were offended by Lawton’s use of the term. But, Boilermakers said they appreciate Lawton’s blunt words.

Lawton said Wednesday her use of the word “scab” was “an absolutely inexcusable mistake.”


I know someone back in 1979 and my God Barbara "scabbed" in Little Chute. It started on Sunday night at 11:00 pm. There were shootings at office personnel homes. Then drivers were brought in from Ohio. and on Wednesday the trucks started rolling and the union decided to come to the table. Wonder why they decided to get their jobs back? Side note, the guy got paid for working 90 hours in six days.
Made some good money .

Union trash talk will get people no where.

Ba Ba, watch what you say about people.

Sorry Ba Ba, you lost my vote. Ah, you didn't have it to begin with.
