Democrats and Unions Make a Debacle in Wisconsin
By Mark Whittington | Yahoo! Contributor Network – 4 hrs ago

COMMENTARY | When the Democratic Party and its union allies concocted the recall election against Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker, the purpose was to punish him for daring to curb some of the public sector unions' collective bargaining rights.

If a recall could topple Walker, then a union-friendly governor would help roll back his reforms and place the unions back in power. That was the plan anyway.

The latest PPP poll shows Walker ahead of his Democratic opponent Tom Barrett by five points just three weeks before the election. The Democratic National Committee, having seen the handwriting on the wall, has abandoned participation in the race, according to Politico. The Washington Post suggests the circular firing squad is already loading ammunition in preparation of an embossing defeat.

If Walker wins, I think Romney wins. RATs were whining on the radio today - they are pissed at the DNC and may sit out November if the DNC doesn’t help out ...

What is an “embossing defeat”? Does that mean they get stamped?

MU Poll came out this afternoon.

Walker up 6%

Barrett screaming bloody murder over early release of BLS numbers showing that we actually added jobs last year in WI.

Good times going to get even better in 3 weeks.

I hope SEIU emptied their bank accounts to defeat Walker.

“We’re going to get outspent 10-to-1, maybe 20-to-1,” Zielinski said. “We just need the resources to activate our superior get-out-the-vote operation, which we could. But we can’t do it for free. Campaigns cost money.

Zielinski, you nincompoop! YOU started this recall fiasco! Wimp. And STPU!

"Scott Walker has owned the air. We believe we can own the ground.”

Hahahaaa... Well, okay then.

We just need the resources to activate our superior get-out-the-vote operation, which we could. But we can’t do it for free.


Translation: Damn-it, our people won’t just volunteer for free! They only volunteer for money!

But Democrats in Washington won’t commit to spending big, even though their candidate has been out raised 25-to-1 so far

Actually that is a very fictious & bogus comparison. The 25-1 ratio (or 10-1, or 20-1), whatever number happens to drop from the lips of the scurvy RAT bastard demoRATs is false & misleading. Walker needed to raise some $25 million, in order to fight against the proposed $61 MILLION that the public sector unions and SEIU were planning on throwing into the recall against Walker. I think that number by the unions is going down, because as stupid & evil as they are, they don't want to deplete their slush funds for other devious ventures.

I imagine a good size chunk of that $61 million will still be spent by the unions, for the recall against Walker as well as the four Republican senators being recalled. We need to pray & work & contribute for Walker, but let's not forget to fight & contribute like crazy for the 4 Republican senators. If only 1 recall flips over to the RAT bastards, than the demoRATs will control the WI senate and Repubs will control the WI Assembly. And the RAT bastard demoRATs will refuse to pass or work with Walker & the Repubs on anything. And being the lyin' snake RAT bastards that they are, they will accuse Walker & the Repubs of stonewalling.

We GOTTA win the 4 Repub senate recall elections as well. If there is a mammoth turnout on June 5, I believe (and hope & pray) that a large turnout will favor the Repubs. Truth be known, a lot of folks in WI are getting sick & tired of the RAT bastard demoRAT shenigans & constant recall campaigns.

Obama and the Democrat elite are in self-preservation mode and will keep all the money for themselves to try and keep their positions. Don't be surprised if even 2-term Democrat Representatives are thrown to the wolves to fend for themselves.

DemoRATS, don’t count on Obamaumau sending any money. He’s in it just for himself, if you haven’t figured that out already. He could give a $hit about all the DemoRAT Congresspersons and Senators running in November. All the money is his, and he’s keepin’ it!!!!

So translated from Kenyan... FUDNC and all you suckered DemoRATS!

Not only is Walker a lock, so are the Republican state senators who were recalled.

Maybe the DNC is putting all their money into voting machines and those who count the votes. Who needs to advertise “Get Out The Vote”?

The libs in Wisconsin are not worthy of my presence. After seeing them raise total hell without any means to back it up made them look very foolish in the eyes of workers across the fruited plain.
