1 I have such a bad feeling about all this.  The lefties are going to steal this election by hook and by crook. 

2

I have much empathee for dees Lady.

3 Hope Prosser wins against these douchebags.

4 You had me at chillaxin'...

5 Why is this being held in Mid April instead of election day anyway? To insure the fewest people possible vote?

6 *shrugs*

I feel bad for the good people of Wisconsin but not much you can do when you're outnumbered by scumbags that will usurp the will of the people and lie, cheat, and steal to get their way.

People will move to the south or southwest. It's Hank Johnson's worst nightmare. This country is literally going to tip over!

7 I still say they need to change their State Constitution. State Supreme Court judge should not be an elected office.

That will not prevent all the liberals from getting on the bench, but it should keep the real nutcases like this scrunt off.

8 She's got 100% of our Vote!

9 Ace, you're scaring me! You sound just like Allahpundit. The difference is when he does it I just laugh... not so much when you do it.

10 Well I donated but I'm not sure what good it will do. Like many conservatives I am feeling a bit of fatigue simply because whenever our side scores the left moves the goalposts and demand a "do-over". At some point you just say Fuck It, if this is what they want, let them have it. If it works out for them, good, if it doesn't, oh well.

11 Based on what you said the other day, we already knew there was no way he's going to win.  It's hard to work against a rising tide.  This morning I saw Andy Stern on CNBC and he was smug and cocky and he said this is one battle in the war.  He's talking about his unions battling a state of the union.  He's calling it a war.  He fully anticipates prosser going down and the republicans being recalled.  Like he knows it is a done deal.  what does that person always interject, oh yeah, that the SEIU maintains the voting machines.  I bet if they thought their guys were going down, all the machines would suddenly not work.  Problem is, the republicans have jobs and families and responsibilities.  Fro some reason the dems/libs/communists don't seem to take anything seriously but their ideology and their quest to make the country into their socialist utopia so they eat, sleep and breathe trounding the republicans.  How can you thwart that with a bunch of old people in the tea party.  It's depressing to see that we have lost before we have begun.   I've tried to be up beat but at every turn it looks hopeless.

12

Let me try that again...

How the hell did she apply Miranda to a bloody shirt?  That's like a stupid legal joke's punchline.

13

The Dems and SEIU have raised the theft of elections to an art form.

The Repubs and conservatives have trouble taking time off from work to vote.

Bye bye republic!

14

Someone finally started an add for Prosser to counteract the pedophile ad. Hope it's not too late.

15 And you can still donate to Wisconsin Club for Growth, organizing on behalf of Prosser.

“I’m not only the Wisconsin Club for Growth President, I’m also a client”

16 Let the left focus all their attention on Wisconsin cuz they're being rolled everywhere else. All I can do is donate and hope the voters of Wisconsin do the right thing, if not it's on them.

17 Any Wisconsinites have "the scoop" from on the ground?

18
I gotta say, warlocks, that part of the reason the conservative base seems to be listless might be because they are exasperated by the Republican leadership in WI and in D.C.

I know I am. We have some good Republican pols but a lot of them are bungling and bumbling boobs.

19

He fully anticipates prosser going down and the republicans being recalled.  Like he knows it is a done deal.  what does that person always interject, oh yeah, that the SEIU maintains the voting machines

 

Yeah, well I saw an election that was won by a Republican twice (the initial and the first recount) stolen by a Democrat (who won the second and final recount), so I don't have much hope.  And then you get stories like the one out of CO where 5000 non-citizens voted in a very close election, and the Democrap won.

I read on here a great post about how BO needs to win Wisconsin in 2012 and that is why he is pulling out all the stops.  The post was great and I've been looking for it for a while to show it to someone and I can't find it.  It was logical and made enormous sense.

After the last thread where the poor wisconsin people sounded like a battered wives meeting I think I started to get depressed for them.

How's that appointee for life thingy working out for you on the USSC (remember that the 1 has 22 months to go)?

I think an alternative is that every judge ought to be elected every two years.  The populace  has no recourse for bad judicial appointees.

23 Getting a bit nasty on the House floor right now. The gallery also keeps taking sides.

24 that is to say, more broadly....

She makes it up as the opportunities present themselves. Back in the old days we called that anarchy and at a later point communism.

25 Not to worry, I've just given Gov. Walker a crash course in environmental tidiness.

26 According to The Lefty Guide to Winning Friends and Elections, isn't it time to start the death threats against the Progressive candidate? I understand that to be in vogue in WI now.

27
ditto, BuckIV.

(I wonder how many dogs out there are named Buck IV? Buck, Buck II, and Buck III didn't make it to old dog age.)

28 banned.

29 This is O/T:  Had no idea they took buses up to Albany to protest.  Also had no idea that the republicans were holding up the budget.  Ah, the press, gotta hand it to those folks how they hide things for days.

And, I watch local news so there was nothing.

30 "Why is this being held in Mid April instead of election day anyway? To insure the fewest people possible vote?"

Old folks still in Florida. This is a trick that is frequently used up here in the north. School districts learned a long time ago to get school millages passed by holding them when senior citizens are out of town.

31
I live in Dane County and work in Madison.  The Republican response might be best characterized as "none."  Nothing from the national level, nothing from the state, nothing at all as far as I can see.

Having said that, I must also add that I don't have a TV so I don't see TV ads and I don't know what's going on in the rest of the state.  Others may have a different experience.  But Madison is like someone stuck a stick in a beehive.

32

Let me try that again...

How the hell did she apply Miranda to a bloody shirt?  That's like a stupid legal joke's punchline.

When you're a liberal judge, you don't make a decision based on law.  You make your decision, then use law to try and defend it.

Foreign law, cherry-picking and broadly interpreting precedents, applying phrases like "equal protection" completely out of context, whatever.  First decide the case, then hear arguments, then try to rationalize it to the 95% percent of the population who won't read or examine your ruling. 

33

Old folks still in Florida. This is a trick that is frequently used up here in the north. School districts learned a long time ago to get school millages passed by holding them when senior citizens are out of town.

 

Everything the left does is so planned out and calculated.  Sigh.

34 This morning I saw Andy Stern on CNBC and he was smug and cocky and he said this is one battle in the war.  He's talking about his unions battling a state of the union.  He's calling it a war.  He fully anticipates prosser going down and the republicans being recalled.

The only thing I admire about the Democrats is their ruthlessness, their sheer determination to win at all costs.  When the Dems win, they bulldoze the opposition and when they lose, they run to the courts and start protesting. 

35 I'm not going to make predictions, and I don't want to encorage people to think they can chiilax  but I wouldn't bet against Prosser.  I think the pedo ad was a dumb mistake. It will draw people out who have never voted in one of these elections. The Dems played this wrong. They should have just worked quietly for a huge turnout figuring they could do better in a low turnout election. Instead they have raised the profile of this election very high. Conservatives and the Tea party may not be very vocal about this but I doubt they will stay home.

39 And, I watch local news so there was nothing.

Posted by: curious at April 01, 2011 02:23 PM (k1rwm)

Local media around Rochester was touting the near unique happening of a budget passed before deadline. No mention of the holdup at all. Just complete fellating of cuomo as usual.

40 Mark Styne is too funny.  He just said the Wisconsin judge "essentially ruled that it's illegal to pass a law".   I guess if you boil it down to simple terms, he's right.

41 As mentioned above a new add for Prosser has come out. It's the man who was abused saying that Prosser helped prosecute the Priest. It's pretty good because he more or less calls the old bat running against Prosser a liar.

42 Well, the Club now has $100 of my money.  That ought to buy one or two spots on a local 1000 watt AM station there someplace.  Hope that helps.

43 Posted by: Unclefacts Luxury-Yacht at April 01, 2011 02:27 PM (6IReR)

thank you, that's what I was hearing.  How amazing it was that he got the budget in on time, ahead of time.  Even my one conservative friend praised him saying "wow, that hasn't been done in years".

Look, I'm sure he stabbed us in the back big time some how.  As I do my taxes and see the amount of money that is taken by the state I find myself getting angrier and angrier.  How could he raise taxes?   Property taxes are already bordering on armed robbery and the income taxes are probably the highest in the nation.  And I'm stuck here cause of family ties and my job.

44 Curious, he's a Cuomo, of course he's stabbed us in the back somehow. We just haven't seen the knife yet.

There's going to come a point real soon where it isn't going to matter if my family is here, I'm going to straight up tell them I'm outta here, and if you're smart you'll leave too.

45 41 Mark Styne is too funny.  He just said the Wisconsin judge "essentially ruled that it's illegal to pass a law".   I guess if you boil it down to simple terms, he's right.

I second that. He's also a great writer. He did a column when "deem and pass" was the issue of the day that was both very clever and exceptionally convincing. He is usually always worth my time (in the same way Sean Duffy is always worth Ace's time).

46

42 As mentioned above a new add for Prosser has come out. It's the man who was abused saying that Prosser helped prosecute the Priest. It's pretty good because he more or less calls the old bat running against Prosser a liar.

That's good, and brave of the man as well.

I hope it has a positive effect on those who see it.

47 I added in an update: if you're frustrated by the WI GOP, bear in mind, they are probably not re-voting on the Budget Repair bill yet because they are waiting for this election. They don't want to re-energize the left (as if that's possible) right before a crucial election.

48

Abrahamson is already the chief justice, and she's a loon.

The election is in April because it's a runoff.

49 Smart move waiting til after the election to re-pass the bill, if that's their thinking.

50 >>>Abrahamson is already the chief justice, and she's a loon. Ah... damnit. Okay, I'll correct.

51

Democrats play dirty.  Never forget that.  It looks like Scott Brown is finding that out.  The Boston Herald reports the following:

“It seems in bad form. Obviously, when it comes to information about my wife and daughters, it crosses the line. I find it offensive and so do they,” Brown told the Herald yesterday.

“They (Democrats) don’t have any business muddling in the private health records of my family,” said Brown, adding that his family is “disturbed” by the intrusion.

Officials from the Group Insurance Commission, the state’s health insurance provider, notified Brown on Tuesday that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee asked them “to provide insurance information,” according to a copy of the GIC letter obtained by the Herald.

52 Posted by: ace at April 01, 2011 02:33 PM (nj1bB)

I think that is a smart move. It would energize the left AND once it's passes make the right less likely to see the election as important since the law has already passed "properly".

53 Since the House is about to vote on the Shutdown Prevention Act, I have a question-- if it passes and Reid fails to act, what is the House Parliamentarian going to say about H.R. 1 being deemed passed? Can he contend that this measure is in-fact binding?

If that's the case then I agree. It's just difficult to be ignorant, patient and motivated.

--The left is fired up... there's a big question how this will actually turn out, however.   Conservatives understand the stakes and will turn out.  Everything hinges on how the the low-information segments (who typically don't give enough of a shit to turn out for the spring elections) vote.

The NRA sent out a flier recognizing Kloppy as an anti-gun communist, but the unions have made the election all about "Adolph Walker" forcing the poor poor unions into slavery.

A potential game-changer released this morning: The victim in the sex abuse case used in Kloppy attack ad against Prosser speaks out, says Kloppy is full of shit.

Nobody's releasing internal polling, so the outcome is anybody's guess.

ACE:  Abrahamson is CURRENTLY the Chief Justice, but if Kloppy is elected she'd have a majority.

58 I thought the state was in dire economic straights, how come they can afford these elections?

61 Nasty, old sock!

62 Some guy on the phone with Styne just called China "some foreign democracy"....why does no one realize that they are still communist china they just were made more palateable cause they are our big trade partner and t bill buyer now.

I said to my friend the other day.  We are going to rue the day we allowed foreigners to buy our debt and our property.  It should be that you must be an American to buy property and we should not allow the chinese to come to the auction.

63 Prosser was indeed appointed, but then won election for his first full 10-year term. I'm in central Wisconsin, and opinion here seems to be split, with more support (in my circle anyway) for Prosser. The Dems are pouring a LOT of money into their negative advertising.

64

Ha! Ha! Ha!  What a quaint little notion...

65 I think an alternative is that every judge ought to be elected every two years.  The populace  has no recourse for bad judicial appointees.

How about a compromise, appointed by Governor, confirmed by highest chamber of legislature, but subject to a recall by the voters with a 60% majority of ballots cast?

66 My friends, we just need to reach across the aisle, extend our hands in friendship and the spirit of compromise and let the Dems fuck us in the ass with gritty lube.  Then, they'll consider telling us to fuck off more politely down the road.

67 Today I was watching morning joe and the sports guy came on and said something I found so offensive.  He said of one of the players "he looks like a truck driver but.."   And no one called him on the comment which someone in the room said he has said before.  That shows the utter disregard with which the "elite libs" in this country hold the working class.  I'm surprised that no one has forced him to apologize to the player and to the truck drivers.

68

"And to exclude more evidence in murder trials."

Given that more and more members of the powers that be seem to be donning "In Case Of Unrest - Kill Me First!" shirts, that position may come back to haunt her. 

It will be interesting to see how the elites here react when, not if, their counterparts in a civilized/important country start getting jerked to Jesus by an angry populace.

Were I in the gummint, I'd want to be seen to at least appear to be working very hard to improve the lot of the rank and file.

A co-worker and I were talking about China the other day.  He said one of the biggest differences between the U.S. and China is that the U.S. is very short sighted, instant gratification oriented.  China, however, is always looking farther down the line, willing to make immediate sacrifices as they plan for the future.  Very scary, that.

I sort of agree with you when it comes to enemy nations, which China is.  Though I'm not sure what harm it does unless we're selling military hardware or vital resources to China when they spend those dollars.  I don't agree, though, with friendlies and neutrals not being able to use dollars to buy stuff here.  It's a key selling point of the dollar as reserve currency.  Remember - if it's here, we can always nationalize it back if things get ugly.  And Americans own huge amounts of property all over the world, including productive assets.  It's tough to demand the right to buy from others when not granting that right yourself.

 

73 OT: I was stunned to read in the SF Chronicle, in a story about an urban farmer's problems with Oakland's red tape, this quote by the farmer:

"It was so great squatting," she said. "I didn't have costs. I was a total renegade doing something totally illegal, but now that I'm a property owner, that's when they actually come down on me.

"I can't fly under the radar and be a punk anymore. I have to actually be an adult and deal with these things."

74 70 61 Let's hope it's their strategy.  I don't trust them to think beyond lunch anymore.

 

Though the Bros. Fitzgerald and Gov. Walker seem to be better at strategy than most national Republicans, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this.

OT: From Texas AG Greg Abbott:

"Update on ObamaCare lawsuit: The Court of Appeals set oral argument for June 8. This is good news because it is a quick hearing date that keeps us on track to get to the U.S. Supreme Court in the next term."

76 If the voters of WI, who voted in Nov to reign in the govt and stop the taxing and spending, fall for this thuggery can't show up to vote, then they deserve the govt they get.

77

Palin tweeted about supporting Prosser. A tweet is quiet enough to make sure Prosser gets cash but does not politicize prossser in the eyes of the feckless middle. Now the c4pers will cheer all the way.

Wisconsin Right to Life is informing everyone about the attack ad that is absolutely a lie. Donate guys, donate.

Most uninformed voters are on the left and so they rely on big gotv  to get their people elected. So it is a low turnout day and lets hope youngins and blacks stay home.

Btw, isnt it disgusting how you have elections for judges? I mean the campaign would be pretty much about what laws you want to overturn or not.

 

DONATE!!

78

Meh- if Wisconsin voters want to bone themselves into insolvency, so be it.  A ruling by the WI Supreme Court shouldn't hold that much sway in other states.

Democrats like tax increases, right?  The Republicans should back a 10% state tax increase as a seperate line item on the state income tax form, titled "Public Employee Pension Surcharge".  See how popular public unions are after that.

Luckily they're not that good at it overall.  They've facilitated the building of cities that are totally empty.  They've tried to manage their population and ended up with generations of spoiled brats coming up; self-obsessed little critters with no respect for their elders.  All is not well in China, no matter what folk like to say.

Thankfully, our government isn't the only one that's incompetent.

I had read on a note so respected site in the comments that the revels had given up.

wouldn't you love to know the real reason for this charade?

82 H.R. 1255 aka the Shutdown Prevention Act of 2011 passed 221- 202. The vote was close due to debate over constitutionality and enforcement issues.

83 I agree about them waiting until this election is over.  Don't get too downhearted about Prosser.  I'm a tea party member since day one and the lesson I learned from the last couple of years is that protests only go so far.  What counts is votes.  People in power are going to do what they are going to do and it doesn't matter if a million citizens come out to ask them to stop.  Tea party people are working people and need to prioritize.  They'll be there to vote in my opinion and there is a lot more of us then there are of union members.Also, the union people tend to be violent and I think people are quietly going to go in and vote against them, to avoid being harassed, or threatened by union thugs. I thought about putting a Prosser sign in my yard, but if you do you take the chance of violence or vandalism.  We are out there watching, reading, and listening and I think you'll see us out in force on election day.

It's a sad day in America when you have to worry about putting a sign in your yard or a bumper sticker on your car.

Well of course, the price of gas and coal has gone down so low I guess they must see a time for mega profits.

85 Ace, One quick point. A lot of conservative and libertarian legal scholars want supreme courts to more broadly use state constitutions to protect liberty. For example, it is used to strike down arbitrary occupational license schemes. I mean it depends on how it is used. I get your point. We must stop the #$& from winning. Donate to Posser!

86 OT: Roll call for Shutdown Prevention Act. Rep. Campbell now abstains from voting more than Ron Paul.

I don't know that any of this matters. 

If the GOP continues to hold the statehouse and the governor's seat, as well as the State Supreme Court, it just means that leftists will burn down the government buildings and then cut out the middleman by just going house to house taking what they feel they deserve.

88 ABC radio news just played a clip of the president criticizing the republicans for stalling his recession recovery if they shut down the government.

@23: "The populace  has no recourse for bad judicial appointees."

They always have recourse, just not any nice options.

91 The solution is simple, the WI Supreme Court clearly needs 9 members just like the US SC.  They can pass the law and Walker can appoint the members to 10yr terms.  That should fix things for a while.  Hey, it worked for FDR.

93 "I'm not going to make predictions, and I don't want to encorage people to think they can chiilax but I wouldn't bet against Prosser." There is NOTHING at Intrade on this, SAFAIK the only bets that are going to get made are donations now and votes on voting day. Thing is, holding back on passing the bill until after this election is too anemic for the hordes, and this election is too close to the protests. They want blood, and the first person out of the chute is who they want it from.

94

Marquette law professor on talk radio this morning says Kloppenbitch has a big problem. She has shot her mouth off so much about being anti-Walker and being union financed that she would be forced to recuse herself when any case connected with Walker would come before the SC.

In another interesting developement, it seems this campaign by union thugs to boycott businesses that don't put up their stupid signs is a secondary boycott and illegal under both state law and Taft-Hartley federal law. OOPS!

Yes, the death-threat emailer is a teacher. Surprize??

Prosser won the 4-way primary with 55% of the vote. Don't write him off yet. Plus the K-bitch is a lawyer for the DNR, the most hated state agency here.

95

Obviously the Wisconsin republicans made a (potentially huge) strategic error in pressing the issue immediately before this election.  Same fight after this election, very different results, perhaps.

102 Are some republicans going wobbly?  did sean just ask that?  Seriously, they haven't got a set of balls among them.  They allowed themselves to be neutered to pass the obamacare curse and now, when they had the momentum of the election, they have managed to take the wind out of the room.  It feels as though people are going to give up voting.  Why bother, they promise you everything and disappoint you monumentally.  so for 2012 expect BO to win in a landslide and expect us to lose seats as republicans and conservatives and independents don't even bother.  They tried, they worked hard, they can't win.  maybe i'm just depressed or maybe I've decided not to delude myself anymore

Ace, this  website has become one of my favorites (alongside Instapundit, Drudge, Hotair, Newbusters amongst others)...Thanks for the great info and entertainment.

I couldn't possibly support what Gov. Walker's doing more.  I just made my donation to the Wisconsin Club for Growth and encourage everyone to do so (even if you just hit them up for $5; do something, get involved...).

Best,

Big O

109 "Why are they not re-passing the bill?"  Why the hell would they bother?  The whiny-ass bitches have another bogus-legal gripe about it once you've wasted your time trying to sate them on this point.  Even starting to make the motions is doing nothing but validating what was never a valid complaint to begin with.  So-Sumi's "reasoning" (and subsequent attempts to "clarify") doesn't deserve to be dignified with anything more than a rude gesture.

110 Unfortunately, it takes a 2/3rds majority of the members present in the Wisconsin Senate to impeach the Chief Justice of Wisconsin.  So, unless the Democrats go walkabout again, relief along these lines will have to wait until three more scoundrels lose their reelection bids in 2012.

Having just read a fascinating book on the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson, it is quite clear that "crimes and misdemeanors" in our common-law system covers being a b*tch to your colleagues. 

111 They need to repass the bill, sign an executive order, and do everything else possible right after the election if he loses...

I maybe whistling in the dark here.  I've noticed a lot of retired people living on fixed incomes are pretty PO'd since they've discovered how much a retired teacher makes in this state not to mention free health care until 65.  Retired people vote.

When an electoral opponent accuses her of being a liberal, she plays dumb. “I don’t know what these labels mean,” she told Isthmus in 2009.

Fake, but accurate quotes would include:

"Judicial restraint, judicial objectivity, judicial impartiality, I don't know (or care to know) what these terms mean," she said with a coquettish wave of her hand.

what is a moby?

116 My brother-in-law spent some time up in Door County last weekend and he said the anti-Kloppenberg ads focus on her DNR career - a good move in rural Wisconsin, where everyone hates the DNR. And the ad by the victim of sexual abuse denouncing Kloppenberg for using him as a political pawn is getting a lot of airplay here in SE Wisconsin. Are they gamechangers? I don't know. But the always smug left is already talking as though the game is over - a rather dangerous thing to do days before the election.

117 I don't think people are laxchillin as the left comes roaring back, the problem is we know these assholes fight dirty and our side is not doing that. Until we sink to their level they will steal every elction in sight. Look at Boehner he is throwin in the towel already on the budget.

118 I actually think Prosser would have won if the sexual abuse victim had cut his ad a week earlier.  It has been running quite a bit in the Milwaukee area, but 3-4 days just isn't enough time to get the needed coverage to counteract the initial smear.

And, as I said before, there is a huge Mayoral race in Madison between to lefties that will cause a massive turnout there.  There are no high profile races in the conservative counties that would need to match Dane and Milwaukee  in turnout to have a chance.

120 Greg: I think the Abele-Stone race in Milwaukee county will motivate a lot of conservatives to get out (and possibly depress the black/Latino vote, because who thinks they really care about a spoiled trust fund brat?) I was out in Oak Creek and Franklin last weekend and saw Stone signs everywhere - it's a bad sign for Abele, and certainly won't help Kloppy.
