I see that NBC is calling the recall race for Wisconsin. This was expected, if disappointing.

ReCall
End of the democratic party in WI. At best a flondering think tank. At worst a festering wound. Why haven’t Harry and Nancy done something. Why.
So, the ratf*cking Governor, backed by ratf*cking billionaires and other top .01%er’s, from across the nation, and their ratf*cking Super PAC money, wins the recall election to ratf*ck the state AGAIN!
I read that Walkers side outspent ours by 7 to 1 (according to CNN, among others).
Needless to say, this does NOT bode well for democracy
It’s also a message, during very tough economic times, that what the Conservatives wanted after the mass movements in support of fellow black citizens and women in the 60’s and early 70’s, and the one against the war in Vietnam, was to tear the middle class apart, so that people no longer had the financial security to look out for others, but instead, end up in dire enough states that they only worried about ‘themselves and theirs,’ has worked.
This election may have been less about Walker, and more about public sector union workers, and the jealousy about their (semi, now no longer so) secure jobs, salaries, and benefits.
“How come they have that and I can’t?!?!”
And, instead of trying to organized to get the same by organizing, they want to tear that away from those who have them – to take them down a few notches, down to where the rest of us, insecure in our jobs and daily lives, are.
All I can say is, ‘Well, congratulations WI, you made your bed – now, be prepared to be suffocated in it.’
Also too – If Mitt loses, Walker may very well be the frontrunner for the 2016 election.
And if Mitt wins, look for Super PAC Scottie to be the favorite in 2020.
After all, he was a victim of us nefarious, sinister, Liberals. AND HE STILL WON!!!
Thus, are true Wingnut Legends born.
Also three – By saying what I said above, I didn’t mean to put down the people who worked so hard to recall Walker over the past 16 months – and especially not those who were working hard on the phones and on the streets the past few weeks and months.
Take pride in the fact that you did your best – and that’s ALL you CAN do.
Thank you for all of your hard, hard, work!
Funny how we hear that “elections have consequences” from the R’s when it is their win, but the Obama win did not seem to have the same implications. Yet the Walker backstab gets approval. I am amazed at the “pholosophical” approach some voters seem to have taken to Walker’s reign, but I suppose it is not much different from the sudden Constitutional expertise and concern that arose among the ‘baggers when Obama won.
Damn. I am so sorry, Wisconsin.
Maybe Scotty will be indicted for something.
First, I want to commend BB and the WI volunteers who tried hard. If we only fight battles that we know we will win, nothing will get done. For the record, I did kick in a few bucks last week, but there was no way we could overcome the big bucks. Had there been parity in the election dollars…
But the outcome does not diminish tbe credit due to those who worked on the recall.
