MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Republican Gov. Scott Walker has easily defeated token opposition in a GOP primary in a recall election that has become a nationally watched battle over union rights.

Preliminary results from Tuesday's primary show Walker beat protester Arthur Kohl-Riggs with 96 percent of the vote.

We're proud of governor Walker here in Wisconsin. It's amazing... but in our town in central Wisconsin, Stevens Point, which is very heavily democrat, the "I Stand with Walker" signs almost equal the "Recall Walker" signs. That says a lot.

I am very optimistic about Scott Walker's re-election in June.

Kathleen Falk, who was the union choice, went down in flames. Good to see!

It aint over until the actual recall election in June. It’ll be tighter than hell maybe a recount. If Barrett wins I’m moving to Missouri.

The unions and those seeking the recall (uh hem, the WH!) should be responsible for paying for the recall election as Gov. Scott Walker was elected to a 4 year term with a wide majority of votes and they are seeking to throw him from office.

This was just a primary and the GOP opponent was some nutcase so 95% is about right.

The Place for Conservatives

Liberals do not want liberty for anyone. They would rather dictate what we do, what we buy, where we go and when, and what we can do while there. Please donate.
The Republic you save may be your own.

The combined local and state cost for nine state Senate recall elections held earlier this year, targeting six Republicans and three Democrats, was about $2.1 million

Hmmm. I wonder if there could be legal action brought against the SEIU and AFL-CIO to recover those costs?

The recall election is scheduled for June 5. I predict Walkter 53-47% over Barrett....which is just about where their race for governor ended up in Nov 2010. The unions are not excited about Barrett and were pushing hard for Falk. I am concerned for the 4 state senate recall races on June 5, because I think that is where the unions will be targeting most of all, in order to stalemate the WI legislature....if they win just one senate seat, then the demTurds will control the WI senate and the GOP will control the Assembly. And the demTurds will block any & all legislation for the next 2 years, and then blame it on Walker & the Repubs. The dems are RAT bastard turds & traitors.

Lest you forget, the RATS used all their ammo on this. If Walker wins and the Republicans hold, they should go after all the Democrat seats in a recall.

What are they going to do, cry it isn’t fair?

I hear you, but of all 14 RATs that bolted & left the state a year ago last Feb 2011, in order to try & prevent the Repubs from passing the collective bargaining bill/budget reduction bill proposed by Walker & the Repubs, only 4 demoRATs have had to face recall elections a year ago. None have been targeted for recall this year for their cowardice in fleeing the state in Feb 2011. Conversely the dems & unions are able to selectively target Repub state senators who actually stayed & did their constitutional jobs and they had 6 recall elections against Repubs last year (Repubs lost 2 of the recalls against their senators), and now they have 4 recalls this year coming up on June 5. So the tally is 10 recalls against Repubs and only 4 recalls (last year) against demturds.

So why is it that Repubs can only muster 4 recalls against the 14 RAT bastards who ran like cowards & left the state?

Well, one of the main reasons is that because of the massive union influx of demoRATs, all they have to do is to put out a few phone calls and they can instantly have 10-20,000 protestors/petition gatherers/signers on any given weekend. Conversely Repubs have other things they enjoy doing with their lives other than non-stop politics, and as a result it is a much harder process to gather enough signatures to force a recall. Plus the union thugs are in full force, harassing & bullying both the petition gatherers as well as those people who sign the petitions. It is not far fetched at all, to see your house or vehicle or property targeted by union thugs, if you sign a recall petition against the demTurds or go out to gather signatures. And the police & judges & Government Accountability Board, close their eyes or look the other way.

So the bottom line is, the 14 cowardly RAT bastard demTurd traitors who ran like cowards from the state, have only had 4 timid recalls against them last year, and the Repubs have now had 10 recalls of their 19 senators and lost 2 of them. 4 of the 10 are part of this June 5 recall, and I am afraid that we will possibly lose 1 or more of these recall elections. UNLESS however, the WI GOP voters & independents really turn out on June 5 recall election and resoundingly thump the demoRAT challengers. Obviously we need to win the June 5 recall election against Scott Walker(and his Lt Governor Rebecca Kleefish) but if the Repubs lose only one more recall, the state legislatures will be deadlocked between a Repub Assembly vs demoRAT senate. And of the Repub senators not on the recall last year or this year is a vote for demoRATs normally about 60% of the time. I think his name is Schultz or something like that. He needs to be recalled and replaced with a solid Repub conservative state senator.

So that's the long & short of it! Pray like crazy (& contribute if you can) that the unions & demTurds will be resoundingly defeated in all the recall elections coming up on June 5, 2012
