Barrett getting bitch slapped by one of his supporters after his speach was priceless.

People making $50k a year and voting for Walker because they think they are upper class 1%'ers: clueless hayseed rubes

@Jack Mehoff:
Our family of 4 living on $2500/mo (that's $30,000/yr if you went to public school) and PROUDLY supporting Walker and praying for his win - truly priceless!! (And I am a former union member - and I realize what a JOKE my union was). God Bless Scott Walker and Wisconsin this morning for a job well done.

@Jack -

Unlike you, we take pride in deriving information from and analyzing a multitude of sources before drawing a conclusion, instead of simply relying upon the Daily Kos and MSNBC to tell us what to think.

Wisconsin has proven that it is a very wise state!

My job makes me $10K a year and I supported Walker. I suppose I'm in the 1% now!!!!!!!

Doesn't matter. Walker isn't interested in those things. He just wants to help his rich buddies who are primarily out of state.

Jack: Are you masterbaiting, or is that your foreplay speech? The results are in, the party is over. Time to zip up and get back to normal life. Return those sour grapes to the supermarket.

That's a good question. Of course most of the money came from corporate, special interest, out of state money. That kind of money would never, will never go to such important causes.

FYI, Liberals forced the recall election.

Walker had NOTHING to do with the waste of money to fund the recall.

Perhaps Wis needs to change their recall law to mandate everyone who signs a recall petition to pay for the cost of the recall. It would not be a lot of money perhaps $20 per signature but at least the cost would be payed by the instigators of the recall process and NOT those opposed.

@Jim, at 20 bucks a pop, there would be a lot fewer fake signatures. Even the leftists in this state are frugal

Nothing is ever their fault Gina...I'm sure the 'crats will blame world hunger on Mr. Walker too now that they had EPIC FAILURE on the recall...Can't wait to hear all the fraudulent votes and conspiracy theories now...LOL!!!...As I was told by my fellow union brother, "you better get out of our way cuz we're gonna roll right over you and your (expletive) Tea Party and idiotic agendas...and if you don't like being in the union, turn your (expletive) card in and get the (expletive) out!"...LOL!...how's that 'rolling' workin for them now?...Hmmmmmm...

NO @Gina Z
Your are NOT excused. You know darn well that it was Walker himself who set the tone with his verifiable comment to his billionaire donor: Walker said his strategy was to "divide and conquer". And he did just that!!

....Excuse me, but isn't it the democratic party who wanted the recall that turned neighbor against neighbor, are the one's who set the tenor and tone of the debate and big money was spent by the taxpayers to have an election that already was decided upon by the people of this state?....

@Morn-Let it go!!! The people have spoken once again. Its obvious we are not for your liberal, socialist, based agenda period!!! You and your side divided this country like never before. Lay down and just give up!! We won in 1776 and we will continue to win!!

@Morninmist ... have a little cheese with your whine?

Misty: You've been MIA for the last 24 hours, I was worried you did something stupid to yourself. I am glad to see that you can still fog a mirror.
Now it is time to take a new prescription, a big dose of reality. I know it is hard to swallow but once you do so- you will start to feel much better.

morninmist, I know sometimes it's hard to accept that when something doesn't go your way that you're the problem but in this case you're the problem. Along with all the others who beat the drum of recall endlessly. It's you that fired up the opposition that ultimately handed you your defeat.

Go lick your wounds and try to learn something from the experience.

Hold your blue fist up high Misty

I'll use it for target practice later, keep it in good condition.

Wait no hashtags or twitter handles or whatchamacallits? #walkercheatedrecallelection #unionslost @walkerforpresident

@morninmist -

I only have one thing to say to you:

WALKER WON, BABY!!!!!!

Now, Hoffa's going to Disney World!

@hoffa..... did you get your $50?

@Mike -

Not yet - Schmitzy is supposed to contact me via one of the Patch boards to let me know where he wants to present me with my winnings. He has two weeks to do so, per the terms of the bet, if he's going to adhere to the terms of the wager.

We'll see - it should be fun regardless listening to his BS excuses!

Can I go too?

Righto, it was the "tea party" that was at fault? Our government is not bought and paid for by govt-sector unions? How stupid is that Tate. I hope he keeps his job, we can use stupid opponents.

Mary, the people of Wisconsin, include all the people who voted for Barrett... where do you folks get off thinking that the Governors percentage is some sort of mandate from the People of Wisconsin? Its ignorance Mary. If all the people approved of this governor, there would have been no recall. If he had such obvious appeal, he would not have had to outspend Barrett 9 to 1...in order to keep his job.

Brian: Get over it. Walker won not once but twice. This is what democracy looks like. Don't you have some poor soldier's funeral to go protest at?

Brian, what exactly is Mary wrong about there?

We had your recall, we had an election as a result of the recall and the results were the same as the election your side attempted to overturn. When there were two sides weighing in on the issue, rather than just the one that initiated the recall itself, the original results were validated.

Money had nothing to do with it. Voters getting out and voting did.

It was a tremendous waste of money that wouldn't have happened, had you folks not attempted to undo the results of the last election.

If you've got a problem with all the money generated by and for the purposes of this recall and it's resultant election, look in the mirror.

@Brian-Let it go man!! Why do you and your side fail to mention the millions that were pumped into this state by outside special interests last year? Oh wait that dont count right. The only reason Walker raised the type of money that he did is because there are many who Stand with Walker!! Not only the great people of this State but nation wide. PEOPLE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR LIBERAL AGENDA!!! And we are waking up. This is our 1776

LOL Brian...Maybe he raised more funds and was able to spend more BECAUSE of all his supporters...please back up your apple cart so the horses can catch up...thanks...and let your high horse run free...you won't need it again until november anyway...

@McLiberal -

Here, here!

@ Carlson
The majority of the people of Wisconsin have spoken, last time I checked, majority rules...Get over yourself and crawl back under that rock that all of you bleeding heart Dems hide under the rest of the year. You people won't be happy until Socialism exists in this Country and the Red Flag is flying ove the White House....

@Brian -- there is no election where everyone agrees. But you need to agree that Walker's 7% margin is a virtual landslide. And stop the BS about Barrett being overspent--the true ratio is close to even.

And maybe you can try to recall the AG when that don't happen.

@Craig -

Don't give them any ideas ;-)

I certainly hope you are right Nicki. A person contributes 500,000.00 to the Walker campaign and PAYS NO TAXES. Wake up Wisconsin, and when you do you will find the middle class joins those who live at poverty level.

Wake up Mary. Do a little research on your pays no taxes claim and then report back to us what you find.

Indictment not here yet, nicki hon....
It's a bit late now........

Actually, it was votes.

wfb51; money bought the votes

Really?

I voted for Walker and no one paid me - did I get ripped off?

You're doing it wrong James. Team Walker paid me $15,642 for my vote

Technically Hoffa did make a Fiffy on this deal.

@Greg -

I'm not counting my chickens on that one before I actually collect!

If you see Schmitzy, be sure to tell him that Hoffa's looking for him!

So can we recall Obama because he recorded the biggest corporate and wall street donations in history?

"With full understanding and foresight the voters of Wisconsin have chosen fiscal sanity over organized labor. The days of public employee unions getting everything they want from bought and paid for politicians they helped to elect are over." Why Walker won, from Adam W

Do you really believe that if $17 million hadn't been spent on this recall that it would have benefited people in need? Where is that coming from? Be specific please. What people in need and how would that money have benefited them?

It could have been used for something other than a complete waste of time.

The $17 million could have been used to balance the budget

Brian I wasn't the one in Chicago protesting recently. I just figured now that you have nothing else to whine about you might progress to funerals or start defacing gravesites.
Just trying to give you hope, man. There has gotta be something you can beat a drum to. Don't get all depressed and throw away your noisemakers. Maybe you can protest the turds in Lake Michigan or organize a recall of the Mayor of Milwaukee. If none of that seems interesting to you, there is always professional help.
I know right now you are feeling like a two time loser, but there is help- there is hope. Just make the call.

Actions in office are why Walker received his votes, not money. Cry more about money.

You guys going to buck up and work "together"? Yeah some in the state didn't vote for Walker but now twice he has been elected. Seems your side has a lot of growing up to do.

And MORE than half spoke for him. My vote was for Walker regardless of how much money he spent and I know that goes for my friends and family that voted for him as well. We are not ignorant, we do not need commercials and other propaganda to tell us how to vote - the results of what Walker has done thus far was what did it for us.

Brian. We had an election. That's the way the people of Wisconsin "speak" as regards our government. The majority of those who spoke, spoke in favor of Walker. That's the way all elections work, Brian. The phrase "the people have spoken" has been used thousands of times in reference to other elections. Was the usage of that phrase at that time incorrect? Did you have a problem with it then?

As for the money, in the recall election for Darling, virtually equal amounts of money were spent on behalf both candidates (by some accounts more was spent by the left), the results were the same. The incumbent was reaffirmed. So your argument that it's about the money has really no basis other than in the sour grapes you're tasting this morning. The reason Scott Walker got more money is because, frankly, the national Democratic organization and its financial backers figured this for a loss long before you folks accepted the fact last evening. As demonstrated in the earlier recalls, they certainly have the wherewithal to pump money and other support into an election if they think it's a wise investment. One look at the Obama war chest will tell you the same thing.

The fact is - Walker won - no other facts needed. Move on - it's over, find something else to do.

@Brian-The only reason Barrett did not raise the money Walker was able to raise was becuase the left was fully aware that it was a lost cause. The unions were not going to invest into Barretts campaign knowing it was money lost. Look the unions choice did not even win her district. So stop with the BS spin!!! This was the people not only of Wi but of the entire nation who stood up and said we will not take it no more!!!

@Brian-Is this is a equally divided State then I want some of what your smoking!!! Sounds just like Cook County in IL!!! The entire State overall supports fiscal prosperity and tea party ideology!!! Time for you libs to jump on board or pack your bags
http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/2012/wisconsin-recall-results

So Brian -

Did Obama buy your vote in 2008?

Be honest here!

Brian:
You libs have a very short memory! How many tens of millions were spent by the unionistas and dumped on Walker's head to fund the recall? You can add that to your heap of wasted dollars. Nice try to spin it your way!!!

Hey Brioan how nuch did the unions spend from mFeb 2011 until now??? HUH?????

You mean to tell me that all the leftists and unionistas in the country could only come up with $4 million for Barrett???? If this election was so important they could have poured in $100 million. Comeon, the big O raises almost that much in one trip to Hollywood. Seems like there was an enthusiam gap on the leftist side......

Couldn't agree with you more Brian. :)

@Brain-So thats the lefts new spin? Walker out spent Barret 7 to 1. What a crock. Your fogetting the millions that poured into this State when the protests started. The millions invested to start the whole recall process. The millions spent to push the Unions choice Faulk. Funny how that is never mentioned. Your side started the battle and we won the war. Because there is an interest in standing up to the union thugs so shame on Walker. Amazing how you and others on the left always spin things to fit your mold.

@Patriot: He tried that and faced the untimate rejection....even his hand fell asleap. He has been rejected by everyone, including himself.
The only thing he has left is bitterness.

He could have done a lot better if he hired Rosetta Stone.

hehe

Herd a commercial for him yesterday on the radio, it was not his voice. Hired white guy help, very nice sounding ad.

I give Trivedi a lot of credit for putting his own money where his mouth is - that's extremely rare in politics these days. I hope at the very least, that he earned a lot of respect from this process.

I honestly hope that this is not the last that we hear from him! And if he does return, I hope it's not as a Democrat.

"And if he does return, I hope it's not as a Democrat." Exactly! We need more options on our ballots.

Ah yes, the faint smell in the wind of democrats frying in the morning. Goes well with steak and eggs, and a side of gloat.
I bet the shrinks are busy as hell today.

Speaking of classrooms...would the so called teachers that are sulking and taking it out on the students because of their loss in the election please stop...Your attempt to indoctrinate your students to your side of "democracy" has failed, besides, most grade, middle and high school kids can't vote anyway, now deal with it and get back to doing your job (the one that still remains because of ACT10) without the attitude...you know whom you are...holding study halls and sulking instead of teaching is not how to teach the kids that life WILL carry on even if you don't get your way...

I wonder how many teachers called in 'sick' today...

I'm sure there were plenty of attending "physicians" from the capital to give them an "excuse" to give you a "get out of work free" pass...

One can only hope.

@Mike-Well that race has not been called yet buddy!!! A race that is seperated by 779 votes roughly. Not to mention that at 1030 last night Racine was only 22% reported while everyone else was 90%. Hmmmmmmmm seems a little strange. So we shall see once the numbers are confirmed!!

A temporary and fruitless victory at best. The Senate is mostly in recess through the next election in November, and it is in November that we will retake a majority in the Senate in the new districts before the draft dodging Lehman is even able to cast a nay vote!

If the Dem Senators decide to flee the state again when they once again lose the majority, Lehman might try to take them to Canada instead of Illinois, as he's familiar with such a strategy and knows the area up there well.

Come on patriot, it's not like the old days where you could reach under the table and pull out the pre-filled out ballots you needed to put your candidate over the top. You have to be more discreet about it and that takes time.

Yeah, except the senate isn't in session until January 2013, and in November 2012 16 senate seats are up, and with the redristricting maps in place, GOP retakes the senate in November. Enjoy your "win" while nothing is being brought up for vote. We'll get it back in the RIGHT hands come November.

What thinking person ever took them seriously to begin with - boy rape?!?!

All I know is that Politifact Wisconsin isn't going to be able to break out the 'Pants on Fire' rating as often as they did during the last year and a half! Unless of course these clowns don't go away, as then we might actually see an increase in the rating being used - especially after the EPIC FAIL that was the recall.

@ JRH...I think I saw Schmitzy fiddling with the wires under the dash of one of your classics...LOL...hurry...you might catch him...jk Schmitzy...

What kind of stupid comment is this? It's pin heads like you that turn people off from even reading blogs like this one.

Lee, Not a stupid comment at all! Mitchell is a union rep. Also a LT on Madison FD in name only. IF you had researched your candidates, you would find that Mr Mitchell has no certifications/credentials to back up his status as a "firefighter" in the state or national registry. That my friend takes away credibility from the platform he presented as a candidate. I have spent 30 yrs in the fire service and would not want to have him as an Incident Commander at ANY emergency. Life/Scene Safety would be at risk with no training credentials to back up actions that would be taken by him. Is that who you want as a Lt Gov? A"Fake" firefighter? What else would be fake if he had been elected? Look over your LEFT shoulder and see the image in the mirror that resembles a pin! Egg on your face dude!

Mahlon Mitchell is a lobbyist, nothing more. He is paid to bargain against the taxpayer and he does it in the name of a "hero" firefighter.

I think Mitchell has already crawled back into his hole, he's likely to be there a long time

@Weachater-Now everyone of those individuals should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!!! Did you notice that most were more than likely on Mayor Barretts public handouts

Just tell me that, in your exuberance, you didn't cut that piece of pink foam out of the wall in your garage

Very nice, btw...I like the little flags.

hahahahahahahahahahahaaha

Awesome. I put a walker sign in a barrett supporters lawn this AM. Right next to their stupid red Barrett Mitchell sign.

@Craig -

That's rad!

Here is a video that summarizes Barrett's entire campaign.
http://www.620wtmj.com/multimedia/videos/?vid=23634257

@Greg -

When I read your post, I initially thought that you had linked to this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SsYVu1HkBA

I know it looks a little hillbilly like, but I did it for one neighbor's benefit. He has 2 Barrett signs, and still displayes a Fielngold sign. He is a German Immigrant who says Hitler was the best thing that could have happened to the human species on this planet. I figured this was the polite way to say STFU.

Bob the foam was a stored piece leftover from a project. It protects my back when I change oil in the Winter on a cold slab of cement. I did add two wrecking bars stabbed in the lawn after I posted the pic :-)

Is mooning still legal?

Your side has scream Leah, screaming Vicki, screaming Rebecca.

Thats awesome isnt it? 3 women who are extremely vocal and HOT as well:))

@Weachater-Really? WOW!! Amazing how hypocritical your side is. For you to even say that. Actually yes they can buy a gun with foodstamps. They just hit the businesses that give them 2 to 1 cash for their cards.

Hey hack, there is more history to be made. First Wisconsin governor to be indicted.

What??? Governor Walker was indicted!!!

Oh wait, it's just Schmitzy wishfully dreaming again. I thought by now Keith and the rest of the Looney Left would be smart enough to wait for the facts to develop before running off an a rant.

@Keith-Its ok all you know is talking down and name calling!! Its all you have!!! First President to be thrown from office and charged with yes being born in Kenya!! The facts will be coming there Schmitty.

Oh Herr Schmitz.... "there you go again"

She is still drowning her misery. She was one of those that hosted a huge victory party and when the race was called at 9:00, everyone left. She's been trying to drink the three kegs before they go bad.

Just speculating.

Funny you mention that. My buddy was at a bar during the election, said the place was hopping then shortly after 9pm when they announced GOv Walker had WON, he said the place cleared out and was left with about 8 people.

@Weachater-Facts are Facts!!! You going to tell me those on the system are not able to aquire weapons? You really are clueless!!! Not only weapons, but I phones, coach hand bags, nike shoes and designer clothes oh ya and drugs all while living on the system. Liberalisim is OVER

@Steve A+

@Lee relax!! Your side has done nothing but bash those of us who supported Walker in 2010 and most def those of us who continue to support him. So after all the chaos, rhetoric, and constant attack ads on Walker its our turn to vent just a little. See thats the difference between the left and the right. We on the right tend to stick with the facts not just talking points, we do not boycott business, we do not threaten nor belittle. So just sit down and shut the hell up!!! TGFSW

Lee - "Most of you write like teen age boys, and even have the actions to show the same."

Have you met Jack Mehoff?

Lee is also the name of jeans, cheap jeans, but still jeans.
Just sayin'.

Dude, you can also use the "Reply" tab. Then you don't have to say who you are talking to.

What is pathetic is a greying long haired hippy protesting freak who thinks he knows anything. YOU lost again- get over it. I would certainly insult you to your face, Brian- I have no worries about you declaring 'war' against me. It is no secret who I am, apparently you are just too freeking wasted or stupid to figure that out for yourself.
I am guessing you were hoping for a different reply, like an offer to smokum peaceum pipe. Sorry, I have no respect for your type. To think that men and women have died serving this Country to protect your right to protest what they were doing when they died is disgusting to me.
Perhaps you should take my advice from yesterday and make that phone call. There is help, there is hope, there is a shrink who will listen to you.

Barrett got a REAL slap in the face by a liberal supporter.

I really don't need to care how many people disagree with my opinion until there are more of them than there are of us. The election is an all or none deal. One vote or a million, if it is more than you have, you have nothing. Simple concept really.
The money issue just shows that the Dems. were not committed to the cause. They cheaped-out. Not our problem. Walker spent more, good plan, he is still Governor. What does it say about Barrett that he was too cheap to get the job done. Brian, if you would have sent him more money, he would have spent it. Barrett's earning power is low, is really not a good reason to back him. It's pathetic...

►the fact that your Governor needed... nine times the money to get the margin he did.◄

How is this fact? If you want to be taken seriously at our table drop the only talking point the left has today.

Walker outspent Barrett because the big money that would have been behind Barrett pulled up months ago when they realized they were fighting a losing battle. Sure as God made little green apples the money would have been behind Barrett from all points on the compass if they thought he had a chance.

@Lu

Walker did not outspend Barrett, as documented in the link to the liberal newspaper below. Not only that, but the paper neglects to mention all the money spent on 2,600 paid union people who worked in the state over the last 17 months.

http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/campaign-donations-despite-rhetoric-the-parties-mountains-of-money-are/article_5e89cdf6-a1dd-11e1-bea4-0019bb2963f4.html

@Brian-You really are cluless!!! If you look at the map the majority of this State is red!! There is a handful of countrys that carry your liberal based agenda!! Otherwise most of this State believes in the simple tea party philosiphy citizens for responsible government. But because madison, milwaukee, a couple of countys way up north and a couple along the IL border u think that over half the state is with you!!! Again just like IL the majority of that state is red except for cook county. Pretty sad actually!!! No yes Brian your socialist, liberal based ideology no longer has a place in WISCONSIN and soon will have no place in our COUNTRY!!! IF you feel so strongly I suggest you pack your bags and head to GREECE!! I hear they are doing very well

Brian, once again. The fact that nearly half the state disagrees with those that supported Walker is not lost on anyone, anymore than the fact that nearly half the country didn't agree with those who voted for Obama in the last election. So what's your point?

The argument about the money really doesn't make any sense. If you follow the polls up to the election, many which were launched before the bulk of the money came in and started being spent, they pretty much mirrored the results of the election.

But if you're going to persist on it being a money thing, you're looking at it from the wrong angle. It's not the fault of those who supported Walker that those who could have matched the money he got chose not to. They could have, easily. They chose not to. The same people who dumped boatloads into the earlier recalls in this state chose not to. The president chose not to align himself with Barrett, aside from sending out a tweet. In fact, the DPW was advised not to pursue this course by those in the national organization. If you don't like that Walker outspent your candidate and, ultimately, don't like the outcome of this unnecessary, costly recall process, look to your party - they let you down.

More important than the money Walker spent is the money you and I and every other taxpayer in this state spent on a complete waste of time.

Thanks for reminding me, I forgot to pay my cable bill.

My actions speak to my character, Brian. The actions you brag about are why you deserve no respect. Opinions are like assholes- everyone has one. Your opinion comes directly from an asshole, so it means little.
Is there no dead soldier being buried today where you can go beat your drum?

So you didn't vote at all, Brian? Is that what you're suggesting?

If people want to dump boatloads of money into attack ads, so be it. Were you swayed by any of them? Are you so full of yourself that you think you're unique in your ability to identify an attack ad for what it is?

Actually, you should be thankful that your side decided to cut bait and not dump a poopload of cash into a lost cause. Nothing changed, Brian. The percentages were virtually the same before the ad blitz and after. You can readily see that by looking at the polling numbers and the results. That's more indicative of the effect of dumping all that money into the race than anything.

As for the rest of your post...it's got nothing to do with the issue. More ranting about the military. Give it up, Brian. The '60s are long, long gone.

Keith, the polling prior to the ad blitz pretty much matches the results of the election. That pretty much says it all right there. Your attempts to rationalize your failure by pointing fingers in every direction except where you should - at yourself, in the mirror - is just that. Rationalization.

Face it Keith. You failed. You're a failure. Look inward to see what went wrong. Stop lashing out. It's making you look even more pathetic than usual.

Do the math Keith.

According to this article, there was $64 million spent on the recall election. Walker spent $31 million, Barrett spent $4 million. There seems to be another $29 million spent by someone other than Walker or Barrett. You seem to be ignoring the millions spent by the unions to attack Walker on behalf of Falk.

http://www.iwatchnews.org/2012/06/03/9039/wisconsin-recall-breaks-record-thanks-outside-cash

@Keith-Pay back the money to the village and stop with all the BS!! Your side brought this on and Walker having to defend his actions should be able to collect as much as possible. If your unionista thug bosses thought they stood a chance tons of money would have poured into this state. And if im not mistaking tons of money did pour into this state when the whole process was launched. So give it up there schmitty.

News flash just heard that Michigan was gathering signatures to recall their Gov but have since dropped the effort!! Saying if its that hard to recall a Gov lets just drop it!! WHOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO GOV WALKER IS A ROCK STAR AND RIGHTFULLY SO!!

Hey Keith
Check out the political carton at the link.

Great headline--and spot on!

Billionaires buy Wisconsin recall election for Scott Walker

Billionaires buy Scott Walker a win in Wisconsin

How billionaires spent their money way back when ... and how they spend it now. (David Horsey / June 6, 2012)

June 7, 2012, 5:05 a.m.

.....But Walker had something more potent than an army: billionaires.

The governor put together a nationwide fundraising effort and was richly rewarded. Two-thirds of the $31 million Walker raised to fight the recall came from out-of-state donors, mostly rich guys who hate unions. The gush of cash going to Walker overwhelmed Barrett’s boots-on-the-ground effort and provided more proof, if any more were needed, that the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling -- eliminating limits on campaign donations -- has dramatically altered the balance of power in American politics.

The Citizens United decision does not apply to big corporations alone; it also frees unions to give as much as they want. But the fact is unions do not have ready access to money on the scale of the billionaire boys club. When just one man, casino king Sheldon Adelson, can write a couple of checks and fund Newt Gingrich’s entire presidential campaign, you know the craps table of electioneering has been tilted in favor of c

morninmist, it's over. Head back to the polls in November. Give it another shot. Sour grapes are very unbecoming.

@Morn-Really? Its just hard for you to believe that more people do not agree with your socialist ideology and that Wisconsin is starting to swing the other direction. I hear California is full of old hippies that want what u desire. Have a nice life.Pack your bags and head west young man

Schmitzy what about the millions of dollars spent by the unions in out-of-state and off-world money? (Hey, if you can be stupid I can too).

You need to report campaign money for advertising, even a little flyer for a local election. Getting hundreds of union-paid hacks in to "volunteer" for Tom Barrett's campaign and a get out the vote effort does not need to be. We will never know how much money the unions and other Liberal groups dumped into this election, other than it was alot!!!

@Morn-Gotta love then billionares!! Gotta love them rich ceo's like the one who employs me paying me an excellent wage, and good benefits and a pension. The best part is our shop is NON UNION!!!

Well Bren always did say they were only here to comment on the recall. It's over, it's done. Nothing much to do but cry over spilt milk at this point. We got enough of them still hanging around doing that as one can readily see.

And here is @Patriot making up lies again and spreading them around for followers like Bob McBride who chirp in like a parrot and agree with the Patriots lies.

@Anti -

Supposedly, there's a check in the mail coming. I'll report back when it arrives!

Did he say it was a check? I wouldn't be surprised if he sends you some of his left over Confederate money.

And still having problems with bladder control, apparently.

@ Brian-Your side was in control for the 8 years previous were they not? So if your socialist, liberal agenda was such a great thing please explain the 3.6 billion dollar deficit? So regardless of the current state of the economy we as conservatives should just be willing to give our entire earnings in the form of taxes to support our public sector unions and their workers? Welcome to a new America!! The Tea Party will grow and our elected tea party members will do the responsible thing. Liberalisim and your socialist ideology will not survive in the Country!!!

@Brian-Pack your bowl or roll your dubies and enjoy the buzzzzzzzzzz. Your hippy ideology dont work man!! Come on man you should move to Pelosi's State then the two of you can burn together man

@Brian-Clinton enjoyed Regans trickle down economics!! Lets face it during the Clinton years he enjoyed Regans economics and thats a fact. There comes a point when people must be able to take care of themselves, make responsible decisions because the more Government offers programs the more people will depend on Government. So stop with you entitlement BS. Obama has had his fair share of conflicts as well!! So your entitlement programs dont have a drain on the middle class as well? Who are you trying to kid?
Come on man dont bogart that joint man

Yes Clinton balanced a budget and obtained special humidors. He also created the biggest mess the US has ever faced. China getting "Most Favored Nation" status from Willy is the reason we are in this mess. Anyone searching for a job in manufacturing knows there is nothing out there anymore. It didn't happen overnight, as it took time to build factories and hire workers. But that giant sucking sound is coming from China. The unbearable whine is coming from our National Debt Clock.

@Morn-The reality is nobody will win as long as we remain a democrocy!!! We mmust as a nation stand strong to out Constitution and Bill of Rights. This Country was founded upon the very simple principles of being a Republic!! Just as it is stated in our pledge of alligence. Our forefathers said Democrocy would actually divide us and it has. Thus the Tea Party was born

@Morn-There are no scheduled sessions for the remained of the year there buddy!! So this really means nothing!!! When november rolls around I suspect the right will gain numerous spots thus once again regaining the controll. So go ahead and gloat in your short term victory if that is what u call it. Its really sad actually. The TEA PARTY will prevail in this country and we will once again get back to the basic principles of our Constitution!!! There is no place for the progressives in this COUNTRY!!!!

In response to your comment---- This lovely photo tells it better than I can. I hope you can comprehend its message.

@Morn-Your faciast, communist, socialist ideology will not prevail in a FREE AMERICA!! Your pic says it all with images of a young Obama? You have to be kidding me right? He is the biggest socialist, racist president this country has ever seen illegal at that. Obama will be defeated if he is not prosecuted for pulling of the biggest SCAM ever!!

Did Lehman really say this?
"The Democrats did gain a seat and FitzWalkerstan has been neutered."

I would like to see the original text. If he did say that, then he is toast.

Hey Patriot

What a nasty post. BTW--it is Walker with a criminal legal defense team.

@morninmist -

So, you're proud that you ousted the state senator who was responsible for drafting more bi-partisan supported legislation in the last term than any other member, and replaced him with a convicted draft dodger who's previous tenure oversaw the largest loss of jobs that our state had ever experienced in modern times.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense all right - what a most excellent victory.

Get real!!! What your side did in this case is utterly disgraceful!

In reality, Lehman's win, which isn't official yet by-the-way, is a short lived fruitless victory. The GOP will retake majority control in November via the redistricted seats that are up for election. And seeing as how there is no regular session scheduled through the end of the year, our majority will once again take hold long before Lehman ever has a chance to take his seat. Not to mention that we're sure to add seats to our Assembly majority as well! Also, the new 21st district will never accept Lehman, as this election and the Wirch recall of last year has proven. So, he's gone after 2014 and that seat will once again become red regardless.

Yes, November is going to be SWEET!!!

Enjoy your meaningless victory while it lasts!

Morninmist, Provide the actual text to the Lehman E-mail above or shut-up forever.

You are confused. As you can see, the email was signed by Mark Miller.

OK then, did Miller E-mail this? "The Democrats did gain a seat and FitzWalkerstan has been neutered."

Did I misread something Morninmist?

Are you saying that the e-mail in your '6:48 am on Friday, June 8, 2012' post was signed by Mark Miller? It looked to me that right before the FitzWalkerstan line, the author states that "I met Mark Miller this past weekend. He made a stop to help canvass with us.".

I'm now confused about what this e-mail is and who wrote it. What am I missing here?

I am proud we got rid of one of Walker's parrots. Simple as that.

I'm confused by a bogus post.

Multi-millions of dollars spent to no effect other than getting "rid of one of Walker's parrots". And you're proud of that.

You're an idiot. Simple as that.

@morninmist -

So basically, what you're admitting to right here is that you have no good reasons that you can point to for supporting Lehman other than your hatred and contempt towards Walker and his supporters.

BTW - Did you also know that during his past term as a state senator, Lehman did not draft a single bill that received bi-partisan support. And as we've already established, Wanggaard was the champion of drafting bi-partisan supported legislation this last term.

So, all that talk from your side about wanting to work together was in all reality nothing but lip service, as the Wanggaard recall CLEARLY shows. This was a power play by sore losers that wanted a do over, pure and simple.

If you and your buddies had any dignity or integrity at all, you'd all be sending in checks to the Wisc Dept of Revenue to pay back the state and local municipalities for this colossal waste of time and money that you insisted upon.

So I ask again, which side is it that has truly divided this state?

Maybe one day, you'll actually get a clue!

Misty.... So bitter, so very, very bitter

Whow. You really missed my point so I will explain in more detail. The pic I directed you to was of the Overpass Light Brigade with the caption "We shall overcome"

Try focusing on the beauty of the phase instead of ranting of your hatred for Obama.
But, in the end, I sense that the photo and its significance is lost on you.

@Morn-No I understood it completely. We did overcome!! We overcame your sensless recall of our Gov. Now all we here is the hate and rhetoric about how your man Lehmann won district 21. To me that is really sad and also shows the mentality of the left. Lehmann is an evil man with no good intentions. But what I find very strange is the fact Racine Country went republican for Gov and Lt Gov by 5 to 6% yet Sen Waangard lost by 1%. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm how is that possible?
What is there to overcome Morn? The majority of Wisconsin wants smaller, more fiscally responsible Government, we want all entitlement spending reigned in, and the welfare system completely overhauled!! There are many individuals living on the system who are fully capable of getting out and being responsible for themselves. But I know your going to say there is no fraud!! Well We Did Overcome on Tuesday June 5th when we defeated your facist, communist, socialist move to spread your ideology!! I think you will be quite surprised come Nov when America starts to wake up to this evil that seems to be flooding our streets.

No Mr. Blade.... I do not know what freedom is. Please explain what you mean by it in detail.

@PJS-Well if you believe in the Constitution we are a Republic not a Democrocy. Just as it is stated in our pledge of alligence

@Brian... About what percent of the federal income tax should the middle class(about 50% of population) carry? the bottom 25%; Top 25%, further subdivided as Top 10% and Top 1%

You really come across as someone who is better than. Of Course I have read as a matter of fact I carry it and the bill of rights with me where ever I go!!! Its what this Country was founded upon. The very principles that made America so great. You obviously are one who maybe feels its outdated or no longer applies. Thats scary. In reality we should not be forced to pay taxes at all. I realize that will most likely never transpire but there should be a limit!!!!

Mr. Blade, I applaud Ron Paul for speaking his mind and for thinking outside of the box. The more creative thought that is focused on issues like this, the more chance we have for the "p" word... to occur: PROGRESS! It absolutely stuns me that reasonably intelligent people perpetuate this sort of atavistic subservience to documents written by people two hundred fifty years ago...as if they were gods and as if what they wrote could never again be reviewed, discussed, assessed as to its applicability in a very different time and culture, etc. Law is and has always been a dynamic set of codes... even laws believed by many to be dictated by God, were later expanded upon by Jesus.... but certainly social laws have always been in flux over time. Why not hold to eighteenth century medicine, only use eighteenth century technology, etc? Many of the signers of this document felt it was fine to trade in human beings! Jefferson had a fifteen year old lover who was his wife's half sister AND his slave! He never freed her. His daughter did (of course his daughter was her niece). That constitution provides for equal representation of all the free citizens of the United States and gives 3/5 representation to those who are not free and to American Indians. Shall we return to it? I am not anti-constitutional but for gods sake...these appeals to going back to origins... seem devolutionary to me conceptually. Why not improve the Consitution? Make it work for everyone?

I dont have a "side" Ed. You may be happy to imagine that there are only twos of everything... I am not. If I am against something, it is off the shelf knee jerk parroting of other people's ideas. I like people to think for themselves... not to pull on one of two t-shirts offered at the t-shirt stand.

@FBI.... The lame-duck is a double-edged sword, as it will become more clear in the next 7 months if the Walker reforms performed or failed. While the Democrats can say they stopped Walker, depending on the outcomes, this may work in their favor or not;stopped further damage or obstructionism, only time will tell.

Yeah, he should have been more like our other political leaders and just accomplished nothing at all consistently, then blamed it on the other party. Doing something that might displease a minority of voters is much too bold for someone in a senior leadership position, after all. Follow in the footsteps of our President and every life-term member of our state and federal legislature and embrace mediocrity!

Don't worry, it's just another few months until Barrett leads the charge again with the words "this election is a referendum on the policies of Scott Walker, which the people have clearly supported the last three times I said that, so we will lose again with my help".

District 21 - Lehman v Wanggaard: Numbers show strange results.

Walker received 36,505 votes in the District.

Wanggaard received 35,476 votes.

For a discrepancy of: 1,029 votes.

Barrett received 36,572 votes in the District.

Lehman received 36,255 votes.

For a discrepancy of: 317 votes.

There were 1,218 scattering and undervotes recorded in the senate race.

Conservative leaning precincts recorded nearly 2.8 times the number of undervotes in comparison to liberal leaning precincts. That translates to roughly 783 scattering / undervotes as supporting Walker, and 435 having supported Barrett.

Wanggaard's loss of support from Walker voters is over 3 times the amount of support that Lehman lost from Barrett supporters. If we eliminate Wanggaard's share of the scattering/undervotes from his discrepancy, that still leaves us with 246 cross-ticket votes - people that voted for both Walker and Lehman. While Barrett supporters strictly voted for Lehman.

Conclusion: Either something is off here, or lazy/traitorous conservatives cost Wanggaard the election.

She sounds like a sore winner.

We have all be conquered by Walker whether we recognize it or not.
