Thank God the recalls are over.

I can go on Youtube and watch TV without being bombarded by Planned Parenthood and Wisconsin workers smear ads against the various candidates. I live right in the middle of District 8 in Wisconsin (Alberta Darling). That was the election they pissed the most money away on, and couldn't flip it democrat, even though in 2008, Darling only won by about 1100 votes (she won yesterday by well over 5000).

It has been a super crazy year. Before the November 2010 election last year, I had only voted two other times in my life (Presidental election in 2008 and another local election in 2009). In 2011 I have voted 3 times since March. I really hope we can have a break until next November, but it looks like they're going to try to push more recalls in January... And then when they fail those, they'll come out blaming election officials for sitting on votes or whatever other tricks they can pull from their ol' bag.

If this is any sort of indicator towards 2012, then good luck to the Tax more, spend more dems... they're screwed.

They tried, they failed. I am sure they are digging deeper into the bag of tricks to find some other way...

Actually they're not over yet; the Democrat recall elections (two of them) are next Tuesday the 16th. It was the Republican recalls yesterday.

The Democrats had nothing to lose and took two of their seats. These were in heavily GOP areas.

Wisconsin will remain an (R) state no matter how hard the lazy dopes try.

I can't wait for the election in 2012. Change is a coming and not the welfare line change like in 2008!



Possibly a subliminal message here?

true, and if the R's win both seats, it would nullify the 2 seats the D's took, thus making this process a 30 - 40 million dollar waste of time...

My favorite story of the night was Graeme Zielinski (communications director for the Wisconsin Democratic Party) coming out and accusing the Waukesha county election official for sitting on votes, while 11 of her 12 precincts were reported, and 12 or 13 Milwaukee county precincts were yet to be announced... basically blaming the wrong person for not getting the numbers in on time, threatening lawsuit and recounts... typical dirty tricks. Minutes later, Mike Tate, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair, came out and pretty much rebutted everything Zielinski said. Zielinski has yet to apologize. Keepin' it classy

I think it's hilarious how the Dems have tried to white-wash this as something other than the complete slap-down that it was! Talk about a waste of time and resources.....

And what's even more amazing is that they are all set to throw good money after bad by pursuing the dead-end of trying to recall Walker.....

Meanwhile, Obama drifts aimlessly like a ship without a rudder.....

Yeah, whine and cry, throw a tantrum and basically annoy the hell out of everyone and maybe you'll get your way... Or in this case, you'll get a paddle to the ****.

Not a win. Their goal was to regain power and get back the union powers. They lost. They wasted millions of dollars.

Dems put up fake Tea Party members during the last elections, in NY if memory serves me right. Politics is a dirty game...

Exactly. The purpose was to take control of the state Senate, and they came up short.

Here we go, repeat after the MSM.....

The primaries in WI are open Primaries, not closed.
- How can there be any kind of "fake" in an open primary
This means the candidate does not have to be registered one way or the other to be in the primary.
- It can be an Independent that supports Gov Walker in the primary with a GOP and Dem candidate or an Independent with 2 Dem or just 3 people, without affiliation.

What the MSM is reporting as going on in WI as trickery and fraud, would only be applicable if the primaries were closed.
The MSM conveniently leaves this part off of their "facts".

Read the WI govt web sites, and do some reading, prior to taking the MSM at face value.

They are all acting like a bunch of spoiled two year olds holding there breath in the middles of the toy isle at Toys R Us because mommy and daddy won't buy them a new toy. This kind of political grandstanding is pointless, useless, and unproductive they should be doing there freaking jobs and trying to fix the problems in Wisconsin instead of adding to them. This kind of crap is so stupid!!!!!
