There is some kind of Communist/Union Propaganda Songs Sing-Along/Election Party in Madison tonite, ans Schultz is broadcasting from it on MSNBC.

They are 100 miles away from the nearest Voting District, but it seems to be MOONBAT CENTRAl tonite.

Minus the “what does this mean for blah blah blah” of the chattering class, what WI does to itself is all up to them. If the Unions win, more jobs elsewhere like here.

Is it too early to gage the expected results?

That can’t be good for the left. They were counting on low turnout to sneak into office.

If the leftwing public sector wins they'll still lose.

Their only hope is some fiscal sanity that their leaders are utterly incapable of providing. Unchecked they will destroy their host.

I right with you on all counts. I know that they’re trying desperately and with all their might, fright and ugly means to make WI their test ground for 2012. Damn them all to Hell. I’ve prayed my heart out and I’ve held faith that GOOD will prevail again.

“Is it too early to gage the expected results?”

Not sure what to think...
The whackjobs have been screaming GET OUT THE VOTE! all day, and they are claiming tens of thousands of door knockings and phne calls today alone.

And there has been almost NOTHING coming from our side in the way of info. That concerns me.

That said, it seems the moonbats are getting concerned that the turnouts in many places are so much higher than expected. And they aren’t doing the usual pre-count crowing, and dropping of hints they normally do when they are winning, for any of these races.

Bottom line:
HellifIknow....

It was until Gov. Walker and our current legislature decided that was BS and made it law.

Here’s a short prayer for WI and all the other states fighting the good fight...

Dear Lord,
The world is against you, we are not.
The world denies you, we depend upon you.
Hold us in your loving arms and cast your vote, for that is the only one that counts.
Whatever the outcome, Thy will be done ... for it is good.
Amen.


Awesome.
Job 5:12 “He thwarts the plans of the crafty so that their hands achieve no success”...we need to claim this in Jesus’ name every time we pray, morning and night.

All I know is what I see out here in the sticks.
I’ve received political mail to the tune of about 3 to 1 from pro-life groups vs. Pro-union.
Pro-life is pretty popular up here where children are considered one of God’s greatest gifts to us.

I hope that enough people that have been effected by the new laws realize that without the changes they will have no jobs.

We will see ...

He/She is fighting the last war. With strategic thinking like that, it shouldn’t be long before they report to you.
