1. May They Reap What They Sow

If Wisconsin were to die, the autopsy would show massive signs of malignant Kochism and an addiction to sociopaths.

2. worms

and they'll get re-elected. I'd go back to where I came from...except, I'd still be in Wisconsin...granted farther north.

[Iliyah]

3. And they are blaming Obamacare for it which is of course of total lie

Hell is too good for these people.

[KansDem]

4. They don't even try to hide their corruption any more...

At one point in history they would try to hide this relationship. Not anymore... They don't care that we know a legislator and a lobbyist are brothers. They just say "fuck'em" and do want they want...

[ErikJ]

5. No worries. They know their loyal Foxbot constitutents will never find out ....or

if they do they know they will forget it in an hour or 2.

[hue]

6. Yup! Just another week in good 'ol Mordor/Wisconsin...

[wordpix]

7. worried this is a test state for all others to deny treatment

would not put it past the insurance industry that it's a national effort.

[kairos12]

8. Scum is what they are.

[blackspade]

9. Nope, nothing to see here....

Just coincidence....

[AAO]

10. Lame excuse. If he's so sure, he should have let them vote.

But then, we would know the names of those that killed it, wouldn't we? I think Scott Fitzgerald is from a bright red area, possibly Waukesha, and has no worries about being reelected. FUCK. WAD.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

11. These people need to burn in hell.

For shame.

[SCVDem]

12. As a 'Sconsin native,

I used to be proud of my state. No longer.

I'm from California if asked.

Fuck the bastards.

[Half-Century Man]

13. Great...The intelligence of L. Gohmert combined with the moral compass of T Cruz.

It's official, we are the hemorrhoid on the ass of America.

[yuiyoshida]

14. Republicans don't want anyone to come out of this life alive...

Many of them would gladly pull some lever if it mean more money for the Republican party or more money to line their own pockets. They would gut every program and live off the blood and guts of every person who could no longer afford a house, a car, or a job.

Nothing for you!!!!

[erronis]

15. Hmmm. Connection to the "Cancer Treatment Centers"

That advertise everywhere (including NPR) and are trying to get the bank accounts of cancer patients that are so frightened that they'd fall prey to these wolves?

[BodieTown]

16. Did you actually find this connection?

Because I did not.

This is his (Jeff M Fitzgerald) firm's website.

EDIT: The name of the bill was the "Cancer Treatment Fairness Act".

[Lifelong Protester]

17. Pond scum.

Both of them.

I hate what my state has become and the fact that there are folks dumb enough to keep voting for this crap.

[SoapBox]

18. Fucking bastards...

Creeps...scum...slime...sleaze balls...

And on and on.

[lobodons]

19. Republicans are NOT Christians

Romans in a Trojan Horse maybe. But NOT Christians!!

[Enthusiast]

20. It seems to me that this could be turned into an effective campaign issue.

Fuck Republicans and fuck Democrats that pretend Republicans are reasonable decent people.

21. Cancer Treatment Bill PASSES WI Sentate

Madison — The state Senate overwhelmingly voted Tuesday to help curb costs for cancer patients taking chemotherapy pills — and another vote was scheduled for Thursday in the Assembly, where Republicans could still make changes that could kill the measure.

GOP Gov. Scott Walker hadn't taken a firm position on the measure by late Tuesday, though his spokeswoman, Laurel Patrick, said Walker would likely be "inclined" to sign it if the Assembly backs the measure by as wide a margin as the Senate did.

Walker's Democratic opponent, Mary Burke, supports the bill.

The proposal — approved 30-2 by the Senate — would require health plans to provide the same coverage for expensive chemotherapy drugs taken as pills at home as they do for the expensive chemotherapy administered through IVs at hospitals or clinics.

"Oral chemo is the wave of the future," said Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills), a breast cancer survivor and lead sponsor of the measure in her house. "In a big way today we're bringing our statutes up to speed of the technology of this drug."
