Ignore the spin: Wisconsin was a disaster for Democrats and President Obama

ok....putting my spin doctor hat on a dim could argue since the poster is from the 2008 campaign it is a historical artifact and not “political”

Oh, that's OK then. What's the count of historical artifacts recording Dem campaigns vs. Pubbie ones?

I damned well got arrested in 1988 for wearing a Ron Regan T-Shirt to the polling place.

See how far we've come since then? Now the Black Panthers can go to a polling place carrying clubs and harassing voters and not even be prosecuted.

Obama is sure changing America!

[politicianslie]

yet for the past two years under Republican leadership it has continued to support out of control deficit spending. No courage, no victory.

The Repubs know what is going on, you apparently (like almost all Americans) don't have a clue.

As Obama continues to destroy America, his plan was to blame the Congress for the petty fights as they won't support him, they try to impeach him, they fight him on X, Y and Z. Obama wanted to use Bill Clinton's sympathy card but now he has nothing.

Instead, they let the little traitor rot out in the sun for all to see, figuring we can recover from the spending but we can't recover from the race riots that will burn America down. They won't try impeachment for Libya, for FAST AND FURIOUS, for political payoffs like solar companies... Take your pick, he can do anything he wants. That is exactly what you are seeing.

Years ago President Franklin Roosevelt called the idea of public sector unions "unthinkable and intolerable." Not long after, AFL-CIO President George Meany declared that it was "impossible to bargain collectively with the government." They were both speaking to the morality of public servants making demands on taxpayers' earnings under the threat of withholding public services -- or as FDR put it, "looking toward the paralysis of government by those who have sworn to support it."

You could hear the sadness in the local TV-heads’ voices. Just like whenever W won.

Channel 6 goes to a reporter @ 10:45 who says there are still people in line and they’ve run out of initial voter registrations.

Well, unless there are more than 2 times the population of Green Bay in line, please explain the concept of “operating business hours” and tell them to go home.

Barrett supporters will always have their Shangri-La in Illinois to move to.

"No one is allowed to display any type of political propaganda at a voting place and here is the usurpers poster (huge) plastered on the wall..."

Doesn't it remind you of the big pictures of Chairman Moa, Castro or Saddam?

"... they were saying 8-1 Juan Williams (ASS)"

When liberals spend more, they never complain do they? Poor old liberal Juan can't comprehend what happened so he's trying to put his best liberal spin on it all. The truth is Conservatives may have spent more because they fought harder They raised more because this meant more to them.

It boils down to this -- Liberals were fighting against a man they hate while conservatives were fighting for the country they love.

There's an old axiom that a coyote can't catch a rabbit on the run because the coyote is running for his dinner while the rabbit is running for his life.

Thanks for that. I’m a little ashamed for not better understanding the dynamics of unions, conventional and public sector, a long time ago.

I now understand that JFK’s purpose for legalizing public unions was a political calculation although I have nothing to back that up. Common sense really like so much else.

I don’t recall seeing you at FR over the years. I joined in 2000 (under a different name, took ‘fire and forget’ some time after 9/11). Pleasure making your acquaintence and thanks for helping folks (myself inclusive) get a better grasp on what’s really happening. Look forward to seeing you around.
