DNC is MIA in Wisconsin (RATS quit & don't send the loot - Walker a 'lock'?)

DNC is MIA in Wisconsin
By ROBIN BRAVENDER | 5/16/12 4:26 AM EDT

The Republican National Committee has said it’ll kick in whatever it takes to keep Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in office.

But Democrats in Washington won’t commit to spending big, even though their candidate has been out raised 25-to-1 so far. And in Wisconsin, that’s left the local activists fuming.

With just three weeks until the June 5 recall election in Wisconsin, Democrats in the state are still waiting for a check they asked the Democratic National Committee to send. And the Obama campaign hasn’t given them any cash, either.

**SNIP**

Graeme Zielinski, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, said the state party has made a financial request of the DNC and that “it is pending.” He declined to confirm the amount, but didn’t dispute the $500,000 figure, first reported by the Washington Post.

“We’re going to get outspent 10-to-1, maybe 20-to-1,” Zielinski said. “We just need the resources to activate our superior get-out-the-vote operation, which we could. But we can’t do it for free. Campaigns cost money. Scott Walker has owned the air. We believe we can own the ground.” Zielinski noted he’s confident that the DNC and other allies will support state Democrats.

Obama and the Democrat elite are in self-preservation mode and will keep all the money for themselves to try and keep their positions. Don't be surprised if even 2-term Democrat Representatives are thrown to the wolves to fend for themselves.

DemoRATS, don’t count on Obamaumau sending any money. He’s in it just for himself, if you haven’t figured that out already. He could give a $hit about all the DemoRAT Congresspersons and Senators running in November. All the money is his, and he’s keepin’ it!!!!

So translated from Kenyan... FUDNC and all you suckered DemoRATS!

Not only is Walker a lock, so are the Republican state senators who were recalled.

Maybe the DNC is putting all their money into voting machines and those who count the votes. Who needs to advertise “Get Out The Vote”?

You hit on a point- a while back the DNC/Obama wanted the Unions to back off the recalls after losing the State Supreme Court recall and the Senate recall. Obama did not want Labor depleting money so it can funnel money to Obama. Plus, as the local RATS and Labor were losing, Obama was declining in the Polls. A loss on a gubernatorial recall could spell a lose for Obama. It looks like Wisconsin is in serious play....

BTW, Is there any way to know for absolute certainty that the voting machines haven't/won't be tampered with? As in preloaded? Particularly in Dem strongholds?

Doubtless it's scrubbed by now, but there was once a Youtube showing how an experienced geek can hack a voting machine in ... oh, five minutes. Maybe ten.

Wish I weren't so suspicious. Also wish we could go back to paper ballots.

Yes, you can! You can RIP in your own burial plot. Of course, as Dims you will still get to vote.

Short answer on the voting machines. No. I share your suspicion.

Still, if folks think the unions are rolling over and giving up, they’re sadly mistaken. I predict massive voter fraud.

They want Walker out of the way so that a Dem gov will give the green light to massive vote fraud in November. With a Republican governor willing to push for prosecution of vote fraud, the Dems are likely to lose in November.

The libs in Wisconsin are not worthy of my presence. After seeing them raise total hell without any means to back it up made them look very foolish in the eyes of workers across the fruited plain.

“Like the children they are, these Leftists are not going to take kindly to the fact that they did not get what they wanted. Much foot stomping, breath holding, and assorted temper tantrums to follow.”

The commies had all the press, the demonstrations, and fools in Madison. The Milwaukee Journal Urinal was chock full of every type of anti-Walker bias imaginable each day. The left thought they could hold election after election until they got their way through attrition and election fatigue.

This is the home stretch for a great governor. If he wins, we all win, and the left will bemoan the money being spent and claim they really didn't care that much anyway. But it won't be over. When they don't win through elections, the Dems and the media mob often turn to scandal and investigation like with Nixon, Sarah Palin, and others. The Obama Justice Department may yet even try to chase Walker out on some trumped up garbage like they did to Fife Symington here in Arizona. Walker is a fighter and I hope he keeps on fighting. The Dems have no shame at all.
