Good morning sleepy heads! Hope you got a good nights sleep. Make sure you order a double at Starbucks this morning so you are ready for your day - you've got a lot of explaining to do.
Let's talk about this whole recall thing - you know, that groundswell of the grassroots? I'm sure you're confused about the whole thing, but let me give you a hand with this. Let's talk about that difference in the campaign funds spent. Whether it is the sobbing activist on CNN crying that "Democracy is OVER!" or the official press release from the Obama Campaign, all you guys are talking about is being "outspent $34 million to $4 million".
Okay. Dry your eyes and I'll explain to you why you lost. First, the unions are the ones who picked this fight, not Scott Walker. He didn't come knocking on the door of the Wisconsin Democrat Party asking to be recalled. Progressive activists started this. The Unions started this. The Wisconsin Democrats started this. Here's a clue, Wisconsin Democrats - before you start a fight, make sure you've got the resources to win. Since YOU are the ones who picked the fight, you aren't really in a position to complain about how much ammunition Scott Walker bring with him.
Secondly, maybe you might want to reconsider your campaign strategy. You got 1.1 million signatures to recall Scott Walker, yet your vote total on election night was only 1,158,337 voters? You spent all that money, energy, time and effort and persuaded exactly 58,337 people statewide? Really? You need to call Don Draper and design a new campaign. On second thought, don't do that - he won't give you the time of day because you don't know what the hell you're doing.
Finally, quit crying about President Obama not coming to Wisconsin. He knew it was going to be a train wreck. Axlerod knew it was goin to be a train wreck. Barrett knew it was going to be a train wreck. It appears that YOU were the only one who didn't realize that, but hey, Obama is really looking forward to your help in November! He's counting on you to double up on all of that energy. And emotion. And money. I'm sure you'll feel like going that extra mile (oops, sorry about the Biblical reference) to get him elected so he can continue to ignore you when you need him.
You might want to make that Starbucks a triple.
Apparently, these people have a differing view of what democracy looks like.
Apparently they think that democracy consists of mobs taking over and trashing public buildings, and making a nuisance of themselves.
But, when all is said and done, and the voters get to have their say in a free and fair election, that apparently is NOT democracy in action.
Well, just think, that they spent millions on this failed campaign. That’s money that can’t be spent elsewhere.
From one Texan to another, great commentary!!! A couple of additional points to our liberal enemies across this great, free, land as of this morning.
IMHO, there are two groups of voters completely bypassed and looked over by the Obama mainstream Obamabot media. Tea Party voters and conventional, industrial union workers. The Tea Party turnout was powerful and massive and Scott Walker received about 32% of the union vote, mainly industrial union folks, with a smattering of public service union members, teachers, police and firemen fed up with union thugs and dictators like Obama, their undisputed leader, who hid in the closet as all cowards do, and let the union “dirt bags” get crushed after he threw them under the rear wheels of the Obama killing bus. Some leader (not)!!!
These two groups, combined will devastate Obama and the Democrat Party come November, 2012. Obama and his liberal, elite, nutcases have gone over the cliff with their madness for power and control. they will both be sent packing on November 6th, 2012. Media.....follow these groups. They are the true movers & shakers of our nation now!!!
Ditto.
bump
LOL!
One of the Fox analysts said the dims spent $21 million...
Good point! I think they are going to be flushing a lot more of it around the country...
Listening to all the liberal wailing about how Republicans FORCED them spend millons of dollars on this recall has to be my biggest laugh of the day so far.
Typical bully crys after getting their a$$ kicked by picking the wrong fight.
I certainly hope so. Democracy is a very bad thing. The founding fathers did not want democracy, they wanted, and got, a representative republic. Democracy is nothing more than mob rule in a nice suit. WHOEVER THIS PERSON WAS, I HOPE THEY ARE RIGHT!...............”
Exactly right and well said.
Speaking of Wisconsin ... what has happened to Diana in Wisconsin? Always enjoyed her posts.
We also hear speculation that busloads of out of staters from Illinois and Michigan voted just across the border, which happened to be the senatorial district of the Lehman / Van Haagen (sp?) race. It's the only Dem victory of the night, and is the most likely to have been corrupted, imho.
bkmk
Well....that explains a lot of recent difficulties, doesn't it.
I wonder how much weeping man had to drink before his interview?
Here is a post I made earlier regarding this hellacious fallacy....
The demoRATs & media keep harping on how Scott Walker raised $31 million (or $34 million....the number keeps fluctuating) to fight against the recall. But last year the unions & dimTurds spent $45 million to recall 6 Repub senators, plus trying to vote in libturd Joanne Kloppenberg as WI Supreme Court judge vs David Prosser.
And the estimates I recall reading for the recalls this year were that the unions (WI state & national unions) had $61 million that they allocated to recall Walker, Kleefisch & the 4 Repub state senators.
So in total, I would say between last year & this year, the demoRATs & unions spent $106 million on wasted recall campaigns. I for one, am thankful & overjoyed that we kicked the crap out of the demoRATS & unions.
Great point. Either way, the Democrats are trapped here; either they didn’t raise much money or they are lying. Or both.
Thanks - I appreciate your comment.
