Update: Kloppenburg leads by 140
Hotair ^ | April 6,2011 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 04/06/2011 8:21:54 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Update (AP): Good lord. With just 10 precincts still left to report, Kloppenburg now leads by 140 votes — 738,368 to 738,228. Of the 10 remaining precincts, eight are in counties where Kloppenburg currently leads. Gulp.

If you’re holding your breath waiting for the recount to start, exhale now. It’ll be a long, long time coming. Update (AP): Just five precincts to go now and Kloppenburg’s lead has opened to not quite 500 votes.

"If it’s this close, Wisconsin deserves what they get."

Yep! Pack up, move, and let the lefties tax the scales on fish, the fenceposts, and the empy spots in parking lots.

Looks like I’ll be scratching Wisconsin off my list of places to move to if these polls turn out to be accurate.

“We need to do what the Democrats do, and “find” boxes of misplaced votes in the trunks of cars during the recount.” ~ E. Pluribus Unum

We are sitting ducks for the ‘RATS because they know we will “play by the rules”. See the “comment” to this item below it:

“You are one election away from becoming a hopeless serf, as are your children and their children.”

http://americandigest.org/sidelines/2011/03/you_are_one_ele.html#comments

The Origins of Postmodernitis Whatever “post modernism” is, it is a subset of a massive attack on post-1776 western civilization.

The American Revolution shattered the eternal construct of civilization that had been in place, unbroken, since mankind emerged from the ice ages, discovered agriculture, and settled into cities.

That instigated the need for government, and government quickly and forever forced society into two dominant classes: the governing elite, and the rest, whose mission in life was to serve the governing elite. Since 1776, the goal of many in western civilization has been to restore the old order.

Today, the bacteria that seek to force that will on humanity goes by the name “progressivism”, but that name is simply the latest in a long series: royalism, oligarchism, marxism, communism, socialism, facism, liberalism, statism, and now progressivism. The names change but the disease does not.

They want everything for themselves, and they want you to serve them, forever, with no chance to ever overturn their mastery again.

A lot of people can’t understand why they would destroy the wealth of the world to do that, since well over 90% (probably closer to 99%) of the wealth (read: lifestyle improvements) has been developed since 1776.

The answer is simple: when you control EVERYTHING, and 99% of humanity has NOTHING, your wealth is actually far greater than it is when the wealth is spread, as it is today. In other words, Commissars don’t care whether the wealth of the world crashes, because the Commissars’ wealth and power is going up, big-time.

ACCURATE Comment:

Liberals want to take over everything, conservatives want to be left alone.

That is the recipe for how we gave away our country.

Conservatives would rather change schools, change neighborhoods, change careers than be around liberals.

Every time some conservative whispers to someone that he is a teacher or union member so don’t think all teachers, union members, or whatever are all bad you should know that the GOP is not much weaker than many of its voters.

The Left took over by recognizing their oppponent (us).

The Left saw that we don’t want a confrontation and we want people to admire our rule-following habits.

All they have to do to take over your schoolss, neighborhoods, or career is move in and be rude and persistent. We will leave and they will win.

Never miss an opportunity, no matter how badly outnumbered you are or how uncomfortable you will make people, to loudly and rudely, and comprehensively defeat a liberals wise-ass comment.

You have to make every commie-lib sorry for every commie-lib comment they make, wherever they make it. But conservatives would rather prove to other conservatives how logical and beneficial our ideology is rather than create a situation or be seen as anything less than Mayberry nice.

Liberals are playing by prison rules and conservatives are playing by Mayberry rules. .....

Know your opponent and show no mercy, we are the majority.

Doom approaches

If the Republican isn’t up by enough votes to avoid a recount, they’re doomed.

Wisconsin voters do not deserve the lawlessness of the unions or thugs. We all know the pattern of cheating. Instead of being sworn in; she should be arrested and thrown in a jail cell.

And yet it's a cancer that will metastasize ! If the producers head out for Galt's Gulch, the SEIU will try to reach outside their borders via Wash DC in a federal bailout.

I sure hope that Gov Walker and the WI GOP have a very strong and bold Plan B ready to go.

Yeah, but Kloppenburg's votes were found in used pizza boxes.

Kloppenburg's votes are a little greasy.

Eventually the Maggots eat the whole carcass and begin feeding on each other. (Like Detroit) Wisconsin is already there.

I was in Milwaukee last April and I could not believe all the vacant shopping malls, abandoned business, vacant mega-parking lots, new buildings never leased and rotting, and in the “business” district there were at least 3 business on every block, with “going out of business” signs on them.

And there were 4 foot tall weeds growing out of all the cracks in the pavement of most parking lots. Talk about depressing........

Wisconsin voters do not deserve the lawlessness of the unions or thugs.

Those who didn't bother to turn out just as much voted FOR lawlessness and thugs.

Turnout was 1.5 million...only 33% of voting-age adults.

That means you had about 750,000 people vote FOR Prosser, and about 750,000 FOR Klopper..., and about 3 MILLION who didn't bother to vote.

So by my math: 750,000 for fiscal sanity vs 3,750,000 for lawlessness.

Stick a fork in it.

Why is Fox News reporting that Presser is ahead by 600+ votes in WI?

Prosser should contact Bush’s guy, James Baker, ASAP.

This Texan was the one who legally outmaneuvered the Gore people in the infamous Fla recount.

That means you had about 750,000 people "ballots" vote FOR Prosser, and about 750,000 FOR Klopper.

If you are talking "people", I'd guess it was more like 750,000 Prosser and 600,000 Kloppergangler.
