meimichanTaking a break from feeling like mental shit(I'm sure it's temporary) to bask in victory.
The last two recalled Dems held onto their seats without much of a fight.
This is further convincing me that the GAB really should have pursued those allegations of fraud on the submitted recall petitions. The people checking the petitions found proof of 30% fraudulent signatures, beyond enough to stop the elections even happening, and I think in all of the Dem races there were fewer voters for the GOP candidate than submitted signatures. That didn't happen on the Dem side for the recalled GOP candidates. If anything, we got WAY more people to vote for our candidates than signed the petitions.
Not much we can do now except to keep up the momentum. Walker's not eligible for recall until January. I think we're going to try recalling Gableman while we're at it. Not sure if we're going to go after more senators, since the ones who got elected in 2010 will also be eligible then as well. I kinda doubt it. Think we'll just go for the big douche in office.
So all that public anger against the Dems for fleeing to Illinois? Not seeing it. After all, they could only get enough signatures against 3 of the 8 eligible for recall, and the three who did have elections held onto their seats without difficulty.

Date: 2011-08-17 05:43 am (UTC)At least the most recent one did crack me up with her scathing insult of "Move to Moscow." No wonder we can't have conversations with that side, their level of discourse ranks just below that of conversing with my cat.
And for all the accusations we get about our side being full of paid outside agitators, every single troll I've blocked on Twitter is not in Wisconsin. I'm sure there's WI conservatives on there, but most of the trolls are not. Fucking hypocrites.
