Wisconsin Playing the Recall Card. Dems Mount Recall Effort Against 8 GOP Senators.

It could indeed. I do think that there is a very angry but silent majority here in WI. Sykes was talking this morning about how union people are confronting private business owners throughout the area here (Milwaukee) saying you have until March 17th to publicly repudiate Gov. Walker or risk being protested or boycotted.

This will not go well over here.

Where to Rep.’s send cash to help with the recall effort to remove the wayward 14 Dem’s? I’m not aware of a formal fundraising effort for this issue. Anybody know?

[MNlurker]

It may be more important to send money to R’s that are at risk of recall. Alberta Darling in my area is being targeted.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

There are 8 Dems that are eligible for recall and 3 that will likely have to face a recall election. The others are in strong D’ districts.

A couple of R’s may make it to recall election, but I think there’s a danger of losing only one seat if any...Dems would be vulnerable in all 3 recalls.

I take it that the most vulnerable of the Republicans would be a subset of the class of 2010 - except that by law they can't be recalled this year.

If the Republicans were able to net one seat out of the recall, they would have enough Republicans for a quorum even if the Democrats were to repeat their fleebager operation again?

[MNlurker]

Correct.

It would be the most fabulous backfire in history.

First up we have the State Supreme Court election on Apr. 5th.

Remember, all that money that the RATS and Unions spend now will not be available for Obama’s White House run next year.

We showed in Wisconsin with the last election that we want Republicans in office and democrats out. There would have to be massive vote fraud to get Republicans recalled....but then again....

A recall petition requires about 15,000 valid signatures to be collected in 60 days. That’s a lot of signatures and the rent a mobs from out of state aren’t eligible. Petitions are very frequently tossed for inadequate numbers or invalid signatures. Then they still have to hold the election.
It isn’t the same as voting in a online poll.
And why on earth do they need money? Are they buying signatures? It’s not like the mainstream media isn’t giving them plenty of air time to get their message out.

GOP wake up - fight fire with fire. Recall the RAT FLEEbaggers.

I've been following WI from the start. The GOP actually started recall efforts for some of the dems that fled quite a while ago, even before the $100/day fine passed.

The difference is that the Reps were using the recall in hopes of forcing the dems to return home to defend themselves. The dems are using the recall because they don't like the actions of the Reps who did show up for work.

I guess the million dollar question is:

How many of those who voted for Reps in 2010 will change their vote based on the what Walker and the Reps just passed?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Republicans have mounted recall efforts of their own against the eight Democratic senators eligible for recall. Jefferson says there’s “a lot of enthusiasm on the ground right now” for the recalls of Democrats, but he has not yet released any numbers on how many signatures have been gathered.

Recall just doesn't remove, it just set it up on the ballot. GOP better realize that during this time period take no chances and pass everything they can to eliminate all collective bargaining and anything else that will fluster the Democrats.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Democratic party reported that it had about 15 percent of the signatures it needed.

There are 4 "vulnerable" Republican State Senators that I see. Vukmir, Galloway and Wanggaard all won election with 52% of the vote, and Moulton won with 54% of the vote.

Of those 4, Moulton had the fewest voters in his district with 59,800.

So to try to recall Moulton, they need right at 15,000 signatures.

If they say they have 15% of the signatures that they need, that would mean that they would have, for example, 2,250 signatures in Moulton's district.

That is pretty darn pathetic. There will be no recall petition that goes anywhere.

[elpadre]

the senators being recalled should be the Democrats who quit their post.

My question is when do union membership start getting a bigger paycheck because the Union dues are no longer being withheld? Many may think they have a better way of spending their money than making that check out to the Union.

Recall Card. Dems Mount Recall Effort Against 8 GOP Senators.

One would think they would go after the flesbaggers who ran out of town rather than fight?however democrat logic isn’t very safe it’s a like to beating up the guy who sleeps with your wife and not than buy the guy a beer for showing you what your wife is.

[fwdude]

Do these retards know that they have to get signatures from the people who live in the respective senators’ districts? Looks like they may be collecting a bunch of invalid signatures from out-of-state goon imports.
