So, let me tell you of the wickedness of the world? or, more accurately, of the abject stupidity of the anti-Scott Walker forces in Wisconsin. Which is really not the same thing, but it at least sounds good. Or at least jovial.

Anyway, here?s the background: the Wisconsin Left, having managed to allegedly get enough signatures to force a recall election against a governor enjoying a 51% approval rating (and this, after several years of nigh-relentless demonization) is now trying to figure out how to actually win a recall election with the schlubs, has-beens, never-weres and other political detritus that would make up their, and I use the term loosely, ?talent pool.? In this particular case, it doesn?t help that there?s an important fault line within the Left being revealed by events. One the one hand, you?ve got the public sector union leadership, who are even now starting to feel the first signs of withdrawal from not being able to directly mainline mandatory union dues into their veins; on the other, there?s the actual Democratic party leadership, who are still hooked in with their source of ?free? money, and so are able to think more clearly.

Why this is important is because the unions have a plan! They called for all Democratic candidates in the recall race to announce, point-blank, that they would pledge to veto any budget bill that did not repeal Walker?s union reforms. The technical term for this is ?dunderheaded,? by the way: aside from the fact that the state Republican party would welcome that fight, should the worst happen, it simply looks bad. A major argument from the Wisconsin GOP is that the Democratic party is beholden to public sector unions; demanding and getting loyalty oaths would not exactly contradict that narrative. Which is why most of the Democratic candidates involved didn?t sign off on said loyalty oath.

But one candidate did ? Kathleen Falk, former Dane County executive ? and the WEAC (the largest teachers? union in Wisconsin) promptly endorsed her. Well? their leadership did; the members themselves didn?t get polled on it. Which is something that many of them are not happy about. Neither are many liberals in Wisconsin. You see, Falk is not very good at winning statewide elections; a measure of just how bad she is can be seen in that she managed to actually lose the Wisconsin Attorney General?s race in 2006. That took skill. There?s also the fact that she pretty much quit her last job about halfway through the term, and it looks like she did so in order to position herself for a gubernatorial run (while claiming ?I am not angling for another political job and there is no ulterior motive?). So, all in all, this is not an optimal candidate? just one with an endorsement that will resonate in the Democratic primary. If nowhere else.

And the most entertaining part? The date for the recall hasn?t even been set yet. Which is why a lot of the aforementioned candidates are upset, too. Whether they?

Walker has the potential to be one of the shining stars of the Republican Party. I am going to love watching the recall effort go down in flames.

And I also love Obama going to Wisconsin to promote economic rejuvenation?when his home state of Illinois follows most of his ideas and is floundering.

Was I the only one who thought it bizarre that the big O went to Walker?s home area to celebrate business sucess? Could make for a great TV ad for Walker.

??. Wisconsin?.Reformed and Ready for business?. Help me continue to roll back regulations, cut taxes, balance budgets and create jobs.? Background screen could be names of all the companies moving jobs to Wis from Democratic led states.

But to Scott Walker?s credit, he isn?t picky about which businesses hire ? he?s happy when the union shops grow too. Just not the public unions ? which is much appreciated by us taxpayers!

You all have no idea how annoying it is to still see them banging their drums and marching around with pins on their coats. I will be the happiest man in Wisconsin if Walker wins this. Well, besides Walker himself.

Of course, that denigrates King George III, who was a rather benevolent monarch compared to Fearless Leader Comrade Obama. But it was the unions and their allies on the left who declared this battle and decided on the battleground.

But Wisconsin is where we can win a first victory in a war we MUST win because the country cannot stand another four years of Obama. Even with a Republican Senate, he will veto repeal of ObamaCare and force gridlock over reforms.

If you think he has usurped his authority and trashed the Constitution with his actions and those of his regulators so far, including recess appointment, DOJ, FCC, FTC, EPA, and NLRB, just wait until he doesn?t have to face voters again.

I have and will continue to financially support Scott Walker. His CPAC speech was most impressive. We are blessed to have so many rising stars.

The recall of Sen Scott Fitzgerald may fail, due to too many challenged signatures. The data input for Walker is about 75% complete per the latest update.

Scott Walker couldn?t have played this any better. Besides drying up union funds (their members, no surprise, have chosen to keep their money instead of voluntarily sending it to the union bosses), he?s exposing Democrat candidates for the fools they are.

I challenged you once...and now I'm doing it again...Are you going to make the case that Newt and Romney are more fiscally conservative than Rick? by AceInTX (Diary)

What if implementation of Romneycare is doing to Mitt Romney what voting in favor of The War in Iraq did to Hillary Clinton? by atlasshrugs (Diary)
