Today is the day the left shows its most bald-faced contempt for our system of governance, having poured outside money into the state to defeat a sitting justice — using false and defamatory tactics — in order to install a pre-vetted, radically-liberal activist justice on the state’s Supreme Court, ensuring that they have the judicial “votes” to overrule the legislature and the will of the people of Wisconsin.
Don’t let them get away with it.
A defeat in this instance would be a very real blow to our way of life; if the left can simply install pre-vetted justices in order to overrule legislation it doesn’t like, we no longer live in a representative republic — and by even pretending we do we’re giving cover to a fraud of the highest order.
WE are the majority. But we have to make that clear at every turn. Or else, it’s time to move to Texas and just start again from scratch.
I concur. The lefties have the benefit of scads of union dollars flowing into the state, and they hope that voters aren’t feeling the urgency they did this past November. They’re counting on low turnout by conservatives.
I hope that bh and his crew are watching out for any thuggery/intimidation at the polls today.
Take video of any transgressions! I wouldn’t put it past the PEU’s to try and puctuate the voter/business intimidation campaign they’ve mounted for the last couple of weeks.
Well said.
Okay, later. I’m taking a half day off for this and I really gotta get some stuff off my desk before I head out.
Thanks again for the post/reminder, Jeff.
Good luck today bh and thanks for all of the work you’ve been doing. The MFM will take a Prosser loss here today as tantamount to a complete repudiation of the TEA Party and fiscal responsibility, we just can’t afford that.
Jeff – Now, this post truly is a PSA. Great job.
bh – Good luck and go get em.
motionview – Sadly, you are 100% correct about how this will be spun by the propaganda arm of the democratic party, should Prosser lose. And the mushy middle will go along.
Free speech probably allows you to post this blog post, but I don’t like it. I don’t like posts telling people to vote for extremists as free speech. It bothers me. If I had my way, that wouldn’t be free speech.
Ayep. Already cast my vote. As an aside, I got in to vote @ 8:30 this morning at the village hall. I was #69 already, which is a decently high number when compared to 2010, which is good. There’s some conventional wisdom floating around the state that we need better turnout outstate than the dane/milwaukee county abyss of shit. So, data points, and all that.
I had the secession argument with my brother back during the 2008 elections (he’s not exactly a lefty, but has lived all his adult life in New York or L.A. and has adopted a lot of the conventional wisdom by osmosis, and a desire to have some kind of social life). He thinks it’s both unlikely and impossible, but when i asked him if we’d be willing to take a half-million casualties to keep the Union together right now, he had no response.
The local PBS affiliate is rerunning Ken Burns’ documentary on the Civil War this week. Just coincidence, I’m sure.

Unless the post is telling us to vote for democrats, because democrats are good people.
Democrats, by definition, can’t be extremists, so no worries there.

We also had a school board election with one crazy Dimocrat, one “we built a tiny but sustainable school!” and one business person who I know personally.
And glad glad to vote for State Supreme too. Let’s see.
