   Let them pour in the money from the DNC. That will be less money for the campaigns for the rest of the Democrats, especially the ones that are in the Senate

   Knowing how the dems really feel about the public, it will be interesting to see what happens. ACORN and the unions of every flavor will be out in force to stick it to those who are forced to pick up the tab.

   I unable, at this time, to give funds, but I will pray for those six that the citizens will come out and vote for them. WI did a great job dealing with the mess before and I feel sure they will do a great job again. God’s speed to all the good guys/gals in WI.

   I saw on Drudge that gangs were going around beating up people at the state fair in Wisconsin.

   Gov. Scott Walker has ordered the Wisconsin State Patrol to provide additional law enforcement help at the Wisconsin State Fair after several incidents involving rampaging youths broke out on the fairgrounds and on the streets outside Thursday night.

   Cullen Werwie, Walker’s spokesman, said the governor made the decision after reviewing the events from Thursday night, in which at least 24 people were arrested.

   “We will continue to evaluate the situation and make any adjustments necessary to ensure a successful and safe event. We will be doing everything in our power to ensure that parents feel that it is safe to bring their children to the world’s best fair,” Werwie said in a statement.

   Also, Rick Frenette, CEO of the fair, announced that, because of the violence overnight, the fair would immediately implement a policy in which no youths under 18 years of age would be allowed onto the grounds after 5 p.m. without a parent or guardian who is at least 21 years of age.

   Pray for the safety of those brave enough to stand up to the thug-o-crats next week.

   Good radio ad running here in Mpls/St. Paul against Harsdorf’s challenger Shelly Moore. Moore was caught on camera saying “we breath union” in a less-than-appealing voice to a crowd of union thugs. I hope Harsdorf trounces her.

   Confrontation and aligning with the Democrats will eventually destroy the public unions.

   It is a beyond stupid strategy for them.

   Boss Michelle? Please don’t call them progressives. How is it progressive to take us back to 1917?

   Don’t let them have that term. Call them what they are: leftists.

    The leftist thugs of Wisconsin from unions, to blacks, to academics and students all have one thing in common. When they lose in the polls, they go to the courts, then they orchestrate mass insurrection and violence. We citizens vote. If you want more riots and anarchy, support the communists. If you want jobs support conservatives.

    What a bunch of crybabies!
    The State has a TON of debt;
    The Republicans run on fixing it;
    The Republicans WIN the election;
    The Republicans implement the plans they ran on;
    The unions are outrageously outraged;
    The Dems run away;
    The Republicans’ plan is working;
    The Dems force really expensive recall elections.
    WTF?!

    There’s an effort here in MI to recall our Republican Governor. People are setting up little shelters along some busy streets with signs that show “Recall Snyder”. Apparently these folks have nothing else better to do with their time. Also, the ‘teachers’ in the Detroit Public Schools are going to sue the Emergency Manager because he’s going to cut their wages by 10% and make them pay more of their health care insurance. What cry-babies! The EM has the power to cancel union contracts; do it, Mr. Roberts, do it.

    I hope we win all 8 races, but getting people to turn out in an off-season election is really difficult. The unions have the big advantages of (1) having an organization to coerce their members to get out to vote, and (2) having most of their members off work for the summer and readily available for campaign and get-out-the-vote work.

    So, are these thug tactics to try to scare people into not turning out to vote next week? Seems like it to me.

    O/T, but OMG!!! There has been new information in operation Fast and Furious:

    U.S. federal agents allegedly cut a deal with the Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed it to traffic tons of narcotics across the border, in exchange for information about rival cartels, according to documents filed in federal court.

    The deal allegedly began with Humberto Loya-Castro, a Sinaloa cartel lawyer who became an informant for the D.E.A. after a drug case against him was dismissed in 2008.

    According to the motion, the deal was part of a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy, where the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa cartel, through Operation Fast and Furious, in exchange for information that allowed the D.E.A. and FBI to destroy and dismantle rival Mexican cartels. Operation Fast and Furious is the failed Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives anti-gun trafficking program which allowed thousand of guns to cross into Mexico.

    “Under that agreement, the Sinaloa Cartel, through Loya, was to provide information accumulated by Mayo, Chapo, and others, against rival Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations to the United States government. In return, the United States government agreed to dismiss the prosecution of the pending case against Loya, not to interfere with his drug trafficking activities and those of the Sinaloa Cartel, to not actively prosecute him, Chapo, Mayo, and the leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel, and to not apprehend them.”

    If this is true then it looks like not only guns going south, but drugs coming north…

    Thanks for posting your support of our Republican senators, Michelle.

    There’s been one recall election so far, where the incumbent Democrat Dave Hansen won by the same percentage of votes as he did in the 2008 general (66%) but with less than half the actual amount of voters showing up (25,292 last month versus 58,108 in 2008). It’s a summer election, and general turnout is much less than usual, obviously. I’m guessing this means that nothing is really going to change much, but I’m hoping it means that all the Left’s hype is overblown and that their contingent will stay home for the most part. It’s the fickle middle here who needs to disregard the propaganda, understand the facts, then participate. Though when you see state Dems making like Taco Bell for the Illinois border, seriously, shouldn’t that be all you need to make up your mind?

    Wisconsinites in the recall areas probably don’t need to be reminded when to vote, with all the commercials and mail flyers bombarding them, but they should be reminded why.

    Wisconsin is finally transitioning from a swiss cheese mentality to a solid block of American. It has to stay that way.

    I hate to think this way, but I perceive it more like a bunch of troubled youths emboldened in part by having Obama as president, like some strangely violent Hopenchange-induced euphoria from which they haven’t come down. Politically-correct excuses like “kids will be kids, sadly” is not even remotely acceptable. Perhaps their parents will turn them in like these did.

    All this definitely scares people away, especially families with young kids who were planning to attend. Attendees suffer, and businesses suffer. The positive spin, from my perspective, is that I don’t feel as bad that I can’t afford to go this year.

    Day One of the State Fair, and already we had union goons shouting over Gov. Walker’s opening-day speech, as well as a race riot. The State Fairgrounds have become a literal battleground. What messed up times we live in

    One more thing. If the accounts were accurate and black people were targeting and assaulting white people, how would it not fall under the definition of a hate crime?

    The Tea Party should show up in force and state their case. We know the Unions will. This is to keep their high paying jobs. Remember Harry Reid In Nevada. How did that happen? Union turnout or voter fraud?

    Take no chances. Tea Party Thrust in August.

    Just imagine how much fun it is in Wisconsin when you have a rabid Democrat supporter for a brother.

    He was so pissed about the budget and the union stuff (even though he lives basically off of welfare) that he signed the recall petitions on 5 Republican WI Senators.

    Minor detail, his Senator is a Democrat and in his great passion – he broke the law.

    What do punk kids causing trouble at the State Fair have to do with recall elections? The State Fair is in a shoddy neighborhood…I know because my dad has worked for the WA police department for his whole career. I haven’t had a chance to talk to him about this incident yet, but I’m sure he’ll say it’s the same kids he deals with all the time (and pretty much knows by name) in other parts of the neighborhood. They don’t know or care about politics, they just come from bad homes and like to cause trouble.

    Fun fact: Tom Barrett, the Milwaukee mayor who ran against Walker for Gov in the 2010 election, was badly beaten at the State Fair a few years ago because he tried to intervene when he saw a drunk guy attacking his family members. Are we do assume the attacker was actually an angry conservative trying to bait Barrett so he could prevent him from running for Governor? Of course not! Sometimes you just draw in losers when you have a public event, copious alcohol, and a sketchy neighborhood.

    Alberta Darling is my Senator. I’ve met her several times and she is an incredibly brave and down-to-earth lady. I love her and it really makes me mad that the liberal thugs are misusing the recall process to try to oust her. She has really proved that she is willing to stand up for her beliefs no matter what. This race will likely be close, but I think she can win.
