I attended a large gathering last night of antirecall workers ready to man the battle stations to halt this recall attempt. I signed a huge card in support of the governor. I'm ready to go.

Scott Walker is my hero!

Wisconsin Walker ping. Please let me know if you want on, or off, this ping list. I'm subbing for Diana in Wisconsin and keeping the list.

I don’t know of any polls. I just know people I see every day. I don’t know ANYBOdy who wants Walker recalled, except for a couple of flaming libs in the neighborhood.

The only way Walker will win is if the Secretary of State “accidentally” misplaces the returns from one or more GOP-leaning counties, in the initial counts.

The Dem machine will manufacture enough votes to win, no matter how long that takes. The only way to beat them is to mislead them as to how many votes they need.

Shouldn’t that say ‘lean forward’?

The SOS is a flaming lib and will do no favors for Walker.

It worked once - lets see if the GOP can pull it off again.

If Wisconsin wants to have a willy nilly recall process they should add to the chaos by saying there can be an anti-recall petition. So they subtract those that do want to recall vs. those that do not. And then if those that do have more signatures they can win. I’d say minimum thresholds of signatures need to be gained, but since they aren’t checking them why bother. It’s really a race to see who can forge the most signatures.

There is no process, apparently, for validating the signatures, so it is impossible to say how many are fraudulent. But it seems probable that one way or another, a recall election will take place in May. Will that election be a triumph for the Democrats?

Could be a practice drill to see how well they can manipulate the upcoming 2012 contests. Sort of a "Red Army/Blue Army" field exercise before the main battle. They will try to subvert the elections...count on that as a given.

The seal contains a hammer and plow. Is a plow different from a sickle?

Does the seal hide communist symbolism? Is that basic at the root symbolism going to get Scott recalled?

Thanks for the link. Everybody in the nation wit typing and computer skills can join the “verify movement sponsored by the Tea Party to build a data base. The more the merrier because we will have to enter at least 700,000 signatures into a data base. I attended an organizing meeting last night, and it sounds pretty slick and easy on those of us entering data. But, we have to get the data in and cross-checked within 2 weeks, unless the Walker people can get an extension.

I’ll try to find a link so you all can sign up.

Those symbols stand for farming, manufacturing, fishing and mining...all prominent in Wisconsin history.

For those wishing to help with verifying the recall signatures:

Verify the Recall

Remember, all volunteers can help. I coul dtake only an hour of your time. Every signature will be checked twice.

That is the silliest comment I’ve ever read, bert. INDUSTRY. The seal stands for historic industries that made Wisconsin prosperous. Gorush has it right.

Two days ago on our way home from a trip in the R.V. we stopped at Williston Crossings near Ocala Florida where I spoke with two retired (retarded) teachers from Wisconsin.
Staying there for the winter so they aren’t too stupid but they were so anti Walker I needled them as best I could.
Then we got on to occupy wall street and I simply asked ,”what the hell is that all about anyway”? and again they nearly went cookoo for coco puffs.
