Six Wisconsin recall elections tonight

[Neotrotsky]

Ouch!

 

[Luissa]

Don't know the turnout numbers. We do know that it is a high union state and the Unions are really pissed and they are spending like mad.

Of course, the Tea Party people are also very upset, so this is going to be a turnout battle. Elections like this usually have low turnout. these probably won't

Kind of like Karl Rove and the Koch brothers?

Got proof either one's involved on turnouts? That's PROOF... you know, reputable news sources. Not conspiracy nut laden blogs, special interest propaganda or political hackery sites.

The true Republicans In Name Only come from the far right pretenders like NeoFascist, littledebfascist, wackshack, and the others. I find it interesting that Romney is playing the far right for fools (many of them are such, of course). Once has the nomination, he moves toward the center, from whence he will govern if he wins.

Hey, FakeJake is back...

Still think those two races were "safe Republican" seats?

RINO UPDATE: Romney Signs Pro-Straight Marriage Pledge with Tea Party Supporter Bachmann
Romney looks to Tea Party for leadership on some issues

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R., Minn.) and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum have signed a pledge from the National Organization for Marriage to oppose gay marriage at several levels of the federal government.

But former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who has sought to burnish his credentials as an evangelical Christian, declined to sign it, possibly putting him at odds with the social conservatives he is trying to court in Iowa. The National Organization for Marriage is running a four-day Iowa bus tour leading up to the Aug. 13 straw poll in Ames.
RINO UPDATE II
Are RINOs too extreme for either side?

VIDEO: More fake companies give millions to Mitt Romney | The Political Carnival
PROVO, Utah— A political committee tied to Mitt Romney received two separate $1 million donations from companies located in Provo, but the companies don’t appear to do any substantial business.

RINO UPDATE III

Mitt Romney Supports on Cut, Cap and Balance in Debate follows Tea Party ideas
Again http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/61151.html

“We’re inches away from no longer having a free economy," Romney said. "I signed a pledge saying I would not raise the debt ceiling unless we had Cut, Cap and Balance.”

In Spite of All That Cash, Unions Came Up Short

For months, unions have told us that after their state-senate recall efforts in Wisconsin, lawmakers would learn not to scale back their collective-bargaining “rights.” The recalls would warn any state thinking about passing a law like Governor Walker’s to think again. Yet after Tuesday night’s recall elections, only one lesson is perfectly clear: It’s probably not a good idea to cheat on your wife.

In what might have been the most costly abstinence program in history, national unions dumped tens of millions of dollars in Wisconsin — yet their only notable accomplishment was to recall Republican state senator Randy Hopper, whose priapic misadventures sunk his campaign from the start. Polling leading up to the recall election showed voters were just fine with Hopper’s vote to scale back public-sector collective bargaining; they just weren’t so fine with his alleged affair with a then-25-year-old capitol staffer.

It wasn’t surprising that Democrats won two of the six elections. What is surprising is the way Republicans won their four. Recent polls had many of the races within the margin of error — yet in the seats they retained, Republicans won comfortably. Rob Cowles in the Green Bay area destroyed his opponent, Democrat Nancy Nusbaum, by 20 points. Republican Sheila Harsdorf, once thought to be in danger, beat a teachers’ union official by a 58–42 margin. Luther Olsen and Alberta Darling, pinpointed as possible Dem pickups, won with 52 and 54 percent of the vote. Darling did so in a district that saw the greatest number of total votes cast, at nearly 74,000.

In fact, almost 350,000 people voted in Tuesday’s recall elections — and Republicans won 53 percent of the total vote. After blowtorching the state with negative ads and benefiting from a favorable timetable, the unions could still only get 47 percent of Wisconsinites to support their effort.

This should make the unions think long and hard about whether they want to embark on a mission to recall Gov. Scott Walker next year. Doing so successfully would easily cost them five times as much as they just spent — and even with their recent deluge of cash, most of the public still didn’t support them at the polls. Additionally, the extra time will also give Walker’s reforms more time to work — and once the public sees that schools can manage their affairs effectively without being hamstrung by union regulations, organized labor’s argument gets even weaker.

And NeoFascist continues his E-tourette's syndrome online here.

Net had you pegged before you confirmed it with your post.


Damn thats sad.

In other words, you guys can't argue the facts that you are far right wing extremist fascists with no real principles grounded in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Your reactionalry out of the mainstream views have been rejected time and again by those better educated, well read, and truly informed than you.

So you are reduced to lame remarks. Of course, what else can you do?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Everybody, go read post 539 above and try to figure out what NTF is saying. He is losing it.

 

[Neotrotsky]

not hard, we have discussed time after time

to use the term facist without anyproof is bad enough
but to use against anyone with a Jewish background
is especially hateful

more so when it has been pointed out time after time
at this point it is just hateful spam on your part

keep up the low work
