What Wisconsin's Judicial Election Means

Fourth, we are awake. The turnout in this normally humdrum judicial race was 70% higher than expected.

When the "silent majority" wakes and gets educated that the water in which they are swimming is beginning to boil, they get pissed at the cannibals that are stoking the fire.

"The left has been winning because we have not fought the battles which we must fight. Now, we are fighting back."

The left learned long ago that fighting for and winning the most obscure, local elections provided crucial inroads for their agenda, while conservatives have, for the most part, sat back and only paid attention at the State or national level. How many conservatives can name their local city council representative? State Representative? It's appalling to find out. I'd wager than many more leftists know the answers to these questions.

I’ll really tell you what the Prosser victory means in a very few words. The public service labor unions are toast, so to speak. The ruling by arm & hammer method of the lefties has taken a harsh realistic blow. Losing that election in a “blue” state like Wisconsin bodes very negative for Obama & his destroy America Democrat Party. If Dems are alive and breathing, they better broom Obama right now, or more bad news and failed elections are on the way!!! IMHO, yes, there is hope for a great America once again!!! Thank God!!!

Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor are under constant assault by totalitarians who view all life as part of an ideological conflict. These slaves see their holy mission as twisting every part of our lives into their vision of political correctness. They are no different in their thinking from Marxists or Fascists. We must prevail, or everything we cherish in life will be lost.

When the left elevated their politics to the role religion should be playing in their lives, they lost all perspective and their humanity. In this, they are kindred spirits with Islamists.

The liberal/union cabal is desperate. They lost in the general election with a Republican sweep in Wisconsin and even with Democrat legislators fleeing the state and thousands of protesters filling the capital, they still lost on reasonable efforts to end the union gravy train. Now they tried their old tricks to stuff ballot boxes in a judicial election hoping to use judicial activism to trump the will of voters. Again they lost. They are not done and will resort to union thug tactics as a last gasp.

I got in my wives car today and had to hit the accelerator, a cloud of carbon smoke came out of the exhaust. Our country is going to do the same. As we neglect our duty to Drive the freaking car like its supposed sometimes, we will put some gas treatment in the tank and get the old build up cleared. Thank God for the basic freedom we still have to get the engine running smooth.

Yesterday, previously uncounted votes in Waukesha County swung the victory to Prosser by over 7,000 votes

This is something that needs to be harped on by Republicans. There were NO previously uncounted votes. They were counted and simply not reported. This wasn't a "finding" of a box of votes in someone's closet or automobile trunk. The county in question was reported as having 0 votes, which of course was BS. Once this mistake was discovered the votes, which had been counted, were added to the totals.

How many wives do you have?

;)

I got in my wives car today

I wasn't sure there if I should congratulate you, or console you...

[maine yankee]

How many wives can you get into that car?

Is it like a clown car at the circus?

[ConservativeDude]

Include specifically state-based court judges, teachers, government clerks like the secretary of state, library systems, and pseudo-charitable organizations like Planned Parenthood. Whether we like it or not, we have to consider the political agenda of every aspect of our lives.”

Sigh. This is spot on.

[devistate one four]

I noticed that also.

They are trying to control the language, thus the fight.

[rockrr]

Well put.

Politics is the ultimate pursuit of self-interest. Ever since the unions discovered that they could vote their own pay raises (by electing hacks amenable and complicit in their fleecing) they have had a field-day at the taxpayer’s expense.

Any time is a good time to rein this madness, but especially now when we are so underwater fiscally.

[Jack Hydrazine]

If they get desperate enough they’ll resort to more and more violence. You have seen small acts here and there across the country and you see quite a bit of talk from the Left from Obama down, but like a cornered animal I am willing to bet they’ll use the force of State to stop the ever increasing dissent against their agenda.

I read a post last week where some lefty media types were asking, "where had the tea party gone?" and "the tea party seems to have evaporated"...I responded that, "no, we are all still very much involved, we have just all gone back to work taking care of our families, businesses, jobs and nation"... and that, "we are voting and watching those that got voted into office." The left thinks hyperbole and agitation is the same as getting something done, that's why they think the tea pot has lost its boil. It was hoped that hyperbole and agitation would carry the day for the leftists in WI, but it was the quiet Resolve of the Right that emerged victorious. May it be the same with the budget battle.

They are not done and will resort to union thug tactics as a last gasp.

Which is why Wisconsin needs to pass CCW and "Stand Your Ground", right after Voter ID.

[Jack Hydrazine]

How many mother-in-laws do you have?

[dps.inspect]

Problem for them is, there's a lot of Governors who will not put up with that... and if it means bringing in the National Guard, they will do it. If they (lefties) riot, they will steel more and more folks against their position and they will be seen for what they really are... lefty looters, trying to loot the nation.

Here we go again. There were never ever any uncounted ballots. Those block of votes one of which was mine were properly counted by my precinct. They were related to the county clerk of courts. A problem occured when updating the county wide totals.

There were never any uncounted votes.
