Democratic president, Democratic Congress, Democratic governor and Democratic legislature with a Democratic mayor in Waukesha and yet "It's the Republicans!"<br /><br />Maybe reports of the party's demise are premature if they have this much power over Democratic politicians.<br /><br />Of course, we should remember that, as Russ Feingold said in one listening session here, that Waukesha county regularly gives him the third most votes of all Wisconsin counties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-62639751142724774442009-05-13T16:01:00.000-05:002009-05-13T16:01:00.000-05:00It's politics, Joe.It's politics, Joe.James Rowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203270946492159686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-31186631702313791072009-05-13T12:58:00.000-05:002009-05-13T12:58:00.000-05:00Perhaps it is the water.

The water has radium, which when ingested exposes tissues to ionizing radiation.<br /><br />A link between cognitive functions and low levels of ionizing radiation has been shown.<br /><br />http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/328/7430/19<br /><br />Perhaps the radiological damage to the cerebellum from the radium laced water prevents the people who where born in Waukesha County from understanding the relationship between highway building, sprawl, and increased pollution.<br /><br />Diminished logical reasoning could explain a lot ... and I was foolishly thinking the problem with failing to extrapolate consequences was purely out of ideological stubborness.Joseph Thomas Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07259638384607505768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-86248686275501010332009-05-13T08:17:00.000-05:002009-05-13T08:17:00.000-05:00@Anon No Bypasses aren't really about congestion r...@Anon No Bypasses aren't really about congestion relief. They are about growth. Soon enough the new road will be dotted with gas stations, fast food joints, and subdivisions, not to mention the new traffic to go with it.<br /><br />Makes you wonder why Waukesha needs more water...Dave Reidhttp://urbanmilwaukee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-42065456445907264342009-05-12T16:50:00.000-05:002009-05-12T16:50:00.000-05:00Good old hypocritical Republisha County.

Additional roads built as a bypass allow vehicles to travel faster. Accordingly, vehicle usage will be more efficient and ultimately create less air pollution. Sounds like a safe and viable solution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
