Good Grief -A Palin endorsement for Prosser? I'll bet the Kloppenburg people did cartwheels when they got that news. I am trying to think of an endorsement that could possibly be worse, and am at a loss.

"For me I do my own research , find my own sources, and make my own decisions." - You socialist commie... LOL.

Nice call, Mouse. For those who are Google challenged.... here is the link:

Gazette staff, it seems the governor Lucey story is much more relevant to Wisconsin politics than the Palin story...so where is it????
lean to the ............, guess not!

Through Sunday, March 27th, three special interest groups had spent more than $1.14 million on TV... Leading the pack is the liberal Greater Wisconsin Committee, which, beginning March 18th, has spent more than $575,000 on blistering attack ads targeting Justice Prosser..just so you know

I=luv-my-a we will see

chadvader: Right on! Fabulous! You said it! And its' absolutely correct! You do a (if I must say so myself) a fabulous blog! Congrats!

factsplease: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Palin's support = disaster for Prosser!!!!

No, Sarah's best invented word is "squirmish" meaning what is happening in Libya.

i_luv_jvl: Again, thanks for the putting this on the blog.

People if you read i_luv_jvl last post; You can read exactly what Pat Lucey said about Prosser. You will know by reading this then THAT YOU CAN'T IN ALL GOOD CONSCIENCE VOTE FOR PROSSER.

YOU MUST VOTE FOR KLOPPENBURG IF YOU WANT TO SAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE OF WISCONSIN FROM MORE CORRUPTION, AND ULTIMATELY HER DOWNFALL!

Dear Mrs. "I quit as governor (elected by the people to do a job) so I could become a celebrity (and of course take all the money that goes with it) Palin,

Stay out of our state and stay out of our politics. Its so simple even you should understand. We don't need opinions based on greed and selfishness. We have enough with Walker.

Tweet out.

Concerned - Former Gov. Lucey was not only Prosser's aid, he was honorary co-chair of his campaign. In his own words:
"I have followed with increasing dismay and now alarm the campaign of Justice David Prosser, whom I endorsed at the outset of his campaign and in whose campaign I serve as the honorary co-chairman," Lucey said in the statement. "I can no longer in good conscience lend my name and support to Justice Prosser's candidacy. Too much has come to light that Justice Prosser has lost that most crucial of characteristics for a Supreme Court Justice -- as for any judge -- even-handed impartiality. Along with that failing has come a disturbing distemper and lack of civility that does not bode well for the High Court in the face of demands that are sure to be placed on it in these times of great political and legal volatility."

"Wisconsin voters need to understand that the fundamental issue in this fight is control of public policy."
Well said, hodag. That's exactly why we can't allow corporations to buy our politicians or try to blind us with the media outlets they own.
Soon we will have the opporunity at the polls to demonstrate the meaning of democracy. Our nation was built on the principles of equality, poor and rich alike. The little man will come out ahead, no matter how much money the wealthy businessmen have to control our leaders and our media. For truth, visit the state's legislative website. http://legis.wisconsin.gov/spotlight/
Enlighten yourself about the Acts Walker passed in Jan. in order to turn a projected state surplus into a sudden deficit. It wasn't by handing the money back to you or me... well, unless you're one of our state's wealthy Walker campaign contributors.
You can't fool the majority of the highly educated here in Wisconsin. We have the fight of a Badger in us. :)

Dang it! Sarah Palin had to go and stick her nose into this, then run her mouth.

I used to enjoy looking at her, I found her kind of stimulating, if you know what I mean. No more! It is ruined! Just another thing Walker has taken from me!

Now tell me, why would Lucey, Prosser's aide, suddenly withdraw his support for Prosser? And now support Kloppenburg? Must be a pretty big and juicy reason to withdraw his support from Prosser!

Wisconsin voters need to understand that the fundamental issue in this fight is control of public policy. Will that remain in the hands of voters, or will they allow it to be seized by the same bullies who now threaten private-sector businesses and who tried to shut down representative democracy in Madison over the last few weeks

Poor Richard- "your kind" kind of a bad choice of words dont you think? What "kind" is Mr Poobah. The intelligent kind? The well thought out kind? What is your kind? The mud slinging kind? The can't make legit arguements kind?
I rather enjoy heated discussions on these blogs, because there are some really inelligent folks. I also cringe when I come here as well because there are about 5-10 of you that come on here and throw around fake facts and like to discourage disagreement. Sad really, its the main reason that we as a society have a very dumbed down population. Many vote based on TV ads and what they see on the cable news, be it Fox,CNN, or MSNBC. For me I do my own research , find my own sources, and make my own decisions. I get sick of hearing folks repeat information and facts that you hear repeated on Fox for example.
I also love how there are some folks that say the ads against Prosser on the Catholic sex scandal are not warranted. Politico says they are "barely true". I actually read the article related to their claim. It seems to state that in those times it was much different. Maybe its me, but I dont give a damn when it was! As a human being, it is never alright to sexually assult kids! Would anyone else be the first one to report it? I don't care what the time or situation, if I found out my priet/pastor was assaulting/molesting kids, my next call is to the police department. For me , morality has NO time frame. Those that suggest otherwie have serious issues.
Also the ads about Mrs Kloppenberg putting an 80 year old farmer in jail, were rated "pants on fire" by Politico. So make your own choice , even if its based on the Politico stories. A "barely true" story about ignoring child sex assault, or a "pants on fire" story about jailing an 80 year old farmer?
I hope this is the second domino to fall here, the first was yesterday(court decision) ther are MANY more to come(recalls). Keep the rhetoric thick conservatives, see how far it gets you!

Poobah...you forgot "Five colleges just to get a single degree in Journalism."

LOL! Your humorous responses made my day!

=^,^=

Now if he can just get O J to endorse him...

Boy, Prosser is lucky to have a LOSER and a QUITTER all packaged up in one endorsing him. The best judicial system money can buy- has he donated to her PAC or something?

We can also vote. ;-)

poobah - So list what you did. You sure seem to know everthing so you must have done something that you could note. Just one or two civic things your'e proud of.
Bealab-You proved my point - Mock and call names. that's all your kind can do.

Watch out for Palin.
She's a mama grizzly!

" is there one person posting here that has done anything close to what she has? "
Nope - never had a reality show.
.
Also I never had a reality show cancelled after 1 season.
.
Once a "politician" hits the reality circuit they pretty much lose all credability.

My couch is smarter than Sarah Palin.

Oh, excuse me. I almost forgot what is probably her most significant and certainly most cerebral and enduring accomplishment -- creating the word REFUDIATE.

Nice endorsement from someone who thinks they can see Russia from her house. Lol.

It sure is wonderful that so many people have looked into Prosser's background. The last bit of info. posted by i_luv_jvl is very incriminating. I am quite sure his fate is sealed. Kloppenburg it is!

i_luv_jvl... even more reasons to vote Kloppenburg. Thank you for your diligence.

Prosser was an invitee to the tea party gathering held in The Dells this summer, sponsored by the Koch Brothers.
http://slysoffice.blogspot.com/2011/03/p...
Even his own campaign co-chairman (former Gov. Lucey) of his campaign dropped him today after he had enough proof of his political agenda conflicting fair justice.
http://www.channel3000.com/politics/2739...

How embarrassing for Prosser to have Palin outwardly support him. Now he doesn't have a chance.

Kaysbrew: Prosser is for collective bargaining. Bull roar he is! We don't have to look up his record on that one. We all know better. Do you think we are stupid? Who are you really trying to convince here?

You know your a loser if you keep giving the bully leader or corporations what they want.
Remember it's give us what we want or we will move. It's give us what we want or we will put our money in Swiss banks.
Remember it's give us what we want or we will starve you out, you low/middle class scum (union or not)
Like I said union, non-union, or retired.
You can come back at me with your attacks, but your all fodder for the wealthy. Remember they can play any type of internal embargo they want, and they do that everyday with the stock market.

You know you're a loser if you complain about wisconsin losing jobs but then go out on strike and threaten businesses with boycotts if they don't support your "cause".

Palin hits again, as Barbara Bush said Alaska is a pretty state and we'd like her to stay there. She is the reason that McCain lost, she would not have lasted 4 years shes a quitter.

Palin has more common sense in her little finger then every Democrat in this state.
I love how so many call her names and mock her but is there one person posting here that has done anything close to what she has? You should all be ashamed but being Democrats that's not gonna happen. You know NO shame.
What a pathetic party you have become. I'm sure JFK is rolling in his grave.

Palin belongs on a show like Jersey Shore. She is that intelligent. Who cares what she says. Really, quit making this twit relavent

Nice find, Poobah... yet another reason to vote Kloppenburg.

"In the midst of the controversy of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's ties to David Koch and Koch Industries, the Center for Media and Democracy has conducted an analysis of the headliners at Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity (AFP) conventions in the state in the past two years. The events featured select candidates who were running for office, including gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker, Attorney General candidate J.B. Van Hollen, judicial candidate David T. Prosser, Jr., and Congressman James Sensenbrenner."

vatoloco...... missed me did you? Your a funny one though, and I love listening to you.

Donations for Prosser are being taken by the Wisconsin Club for Growth website (of which I will NOT provide their URL for obvious reasons), which is a branch of the Club for Growth and guess who serves as adviser and on the board of directors?
-
So much for Prosser being pro-union, kaysbrew! You are unbelievable trying to get pro-union people to believe Prosser is going to defend their rights when taking money from the same pockets that Walker has -- the Koch brothers.
-
R.J. Johnson, a former political strategist for Wisconsin's embattled Governor Scott Walker, is a key adviser to the Club for Growth Wisconsin.
-
Eric O'Keefe is also a board member of the CFGW. O'Keefe is part of the Koch Brothers' political network, having attended the Kochs' 2010 Aspen strategy soiree.[5] He is also the chair and CEO of the Sam Adams Alliance, and a board member of the Institute for Humane Studies, which has taken millions from the Kochs and for which billionaire Charles Koch serves as chairman.

I don't care if Palin endorses dog turds! She's not a Wisconsinite and her opinions are not newsworthy!

My God people, do any of you bother to research what polictal ads say? You can't believe a word that comes out of any of them from either side. They are all spin or outright lies. Didn't we have enough uninformed votors go to the polls in the last election???

Oh, I've looked at the information online. These are just a few of the articles... Kloppenburg for WI Supreme Court... Restore civility and independence to the judicial branch of government.

If anyone on the left would actually take the time to get out of the programmed robot mode you'd look up Prosser's record to find out he was a defender of collective bargaining. But the left is so far gone the vote for some one who uses a 33 year case to re-victimize a pair of brothers that now the victim has come out with his own ad to defend Prosser against this sickening and disgraceful ad that Kloppenberg refuses to reject. What kind of "judge" would she make to use victims. This young man was raped and getting again by Kloppenberg.

Another reason to vote Kloppenburg.

Two wrongs do not make a right!

Yes, get out and vote. 20% is a very bad number. You live in a democracy, still anyway. So you need to exercise your rights under our democracy. This is your right! Use it.

you know your a loser if Sara endorses you.

Poobah: I agree. Sarah who?

Myopinion: Yes Ex-governor Lucey withdrew his support for Prosser. Yes, it's true. I heard it on channel 3 news in the evening. That says alot. He is now endorsing Kloppenburg. He doesn't want to be associated with Prosser anymore. I give ex-governor Lucey alot of credit for this. Now you know who you must vote for: Kloppenburg. It doesn't matter if you are Republican or Democrat. Your answer now is Kloppenburg.

Palin is not qualified to be President. She's not qualified for anything. Good grief! If she's endorsing Prosser, his goose is cooked! Oh, well all the better for Kloppenburg. Sarah Palin is a has-been. She needs to go away for good. People don't want to hear about her anymore. Most people don't even care what her thoughts are or who she is endorsing.

Rebecca Kleefisch reminds me of Sarah Palin. She is Sarah Palin #2.

myopinion--It's true. He said that after working for prosser, he had come to realize that Kloppenberg is the only candidate in this race who has maintained her integrity. He did not specify exactly what issue he feels prosser is being dishonest about, but made it very clear that he feels that prosser has been dishonest about "an issue."

janesvillean, to follow up on your post about the runaway Bronx Zoo cobra having half the Twitter followers as Palin in less than one week... FOX News has just reported that the cobra has endorsed Kloppenburg.

Sarah who?

Thought I heard that ex-governor Lucey withdrew support from Prosser......has anyone seen that or is it just a rumor?

Coyote-Using logic to make an informed decision voting for a judge candidate? How dare you!

Who cares what Sarah Palin has to say.

Tuesday I will vote for the candidate, not the political party. By definition the decisions made by a judge are based on precidented law not personal feelings. One candidate has a proven(published) record, one does not.

"To put @SarahPalinUSA's influence in perspective, @bronxzooscobra reached half her number of Twitter followers in less than a week."
http://twitter.com/#!/JamesEBriggs/statu...

Fear-I'm sure clarity meant context vs content. I find it funny that you keep ripping clarity for the error and then you keep spelling it as "contenet."

As for the priest abuse case, show me how Prosser handled it any differently than any other D.A. 30 years ago. The ad is out of context. Period. If this had come up today, of course things would've been handled differently. I don't agree with how it was handled but who took on the Catholic Church back then?

I also find it funny that by running these ads about Prosser being soft on crime, they're trying to make Kloppenburg look like Judge Dredd.

That's right crunch_munch. Can somebody out there prank call Prosser today and see what they can get out of him?

The nail in Prosser's coffin, The half term quitter "political expert" from Faux news endorses him.

Some have points to make, some just have no point. Why waste your time vato, nothing to add?

"kaysbrew...... on a more serious note, your more qualified to be president than Palin."

On a very researched actual note, a real mouse is more intelligent than mousie the blogger.

kaysbrew must be tainted tea.

bueno WELL SAID and again kaysbrew please provide proof to your statements other then Rightwing coverup sites. And bowlgirl do you really believe what you say? The people have heard all they need to hear and Tuesday will show you they are serious!!!!!!!

kaysbrew you need help as to saying she would be better then Obama and BTW I like him

now that really justifies my vote for Kloppenburg

Now this really reinforces my Kloppenburg vote

"Palin endorses Prosser" ...is she trying to help him or hurt him? No, I don't want Wisconsin to become a toxic dump for big business and that means I'm NOT voting Prosser.

How sad when some put politics ahead of pedophiles: Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser told a mother in 1979 when he was Outagamie County district attorney that he did not want to prosecute a priest accused of abusing her sons because "it would be too hard on the boys," newly released documents indicate.

The Green Bay priest, John Patrick Feeney, who is now 81, was eventually convicted in 2004 on three counts of sexual assault of a minor and one count of attempted sexual assault of a minor.

Prosser is scheduled to hear a case brought by another priest that could result in Feeney being freed from the Fox Lake Correctional Institution, where he is serving a 15-year sentence.

But Troy Merryfield, who says he was among Feeney's victims, urged Prosser on Monday to step aside when cases involving priest sexual misconduct come before the high court.

"He dropped the ball, and he should recuse himself," Merryfield said.

Maybe another one of his victims might have a little different story , huh Kay? Especially since ther were VICTIMS (plural). Why dont you tell me again about contenet(context)? Of course Mr. Prosser has declined comment on the issue. I would think if this was so false he would have grounds for a libel suit, or at very least defend himself publicly, but he has declined comment, surprised? Vince Biskupic (prosecutor) made and excuse for him, "It was a different era then". Thats legitamite?

Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber and the Janesville Gazette all endorse Prosser. No mention in today's paper or Extra that former Gov. Pat Lucy resigned as Co-Chairman of Prosser's re-election campaign. Prosser has changed, becoming a very difficult justice to reason with. I think it's time for a thoughtful change to what is going on right now in this great state. I think Kloppenburg would bring balance and perspective to the Supreme Court.

Kay -since you are the resident expert here on this, please explain, I will certainly research the validity of the ad(already have). I also believe you meant context not contenet , yes?

There's the kiss of death.

Did anybody hear who Joe the Plumber was endorsing? He and Palin carry about the same weight. You'betcha ( is that with an i or e? )

Protecting child molesters is as bad as doing the molesting you know it is going to repeat itself over and over again. I sure would not like that to be my child.

That's an endorsement???

fearandrhetoric4dummies
You are just going off the Kloppenberg ad which was inaccuate and out of content.

Would we all agree that Jesse Jackson and Sarah Palin hold similar weight here? They are both here for personal publicity nothing more. Their roles are insignificant.

Kay- but it seems that you ignore the substance here. Its somehow acceptable for prosser to ignore this case? Meet with the bishop to re locate a pedophile instead of charge him? What about that makes you happy to support this man exactly?
Are you saying after 30 years we should just forget that Justice Prosser helped to shelter a chlid molester? Is there a statute of limitations on child molestation?

So much for his claim that he isn't partisan! I'm thinking he is wishing she would have kept her mouth shut with her 38% favorable ratings.

kiss of death.

can you see wisconsin from alaska?

I'm am so happy right now - the victim of that 33 year old sexual abuse case Kloppenberg is trying to benefit from has just put out a commercial to say --why Kloppenberg would you allow this to continue. To benefit from his pain. Bravo

DanG: It is as OK for Sarah Palin to express her opinion about Wisconsin's business as it is/was for Jesse Jackson and all of the non-Wisconsinites that protested at the capitol. Let's not switch the rules in the middle of the game.

Well that should be the nail in the coffin, esp. after former Gov. Lucey (a Democrat) pulled his endorsement yesterday.

kaysbrew...... on a more serious note, your more qualified to be president than Palin.

That's an endorsement neither candidate probably wanted.

Palin to this day is more qualified to be President then Obama.
Okay liberals, on your mark, get set, GO

I'm happy to see that Pallin is endorsing Prosser. It helps me to decide for whom I will vote on Tuesday. I wonder why Prosser's campaign didn't ask or want her support. I hope Newt puts in his two- cents worth.

Just like the union millions buying Kloppenberg- Palin should stay out of the debate.

garyprimer- Now that you mention it, you may be right!

I thought that she already had been bitten.

garyprimer- "her thoughts" Does Palin have any? We know she has plenty of opinions, and feels everyone should hear them. Would it be too much to hope she gets bit by a rabid moose?

How appropriate!

You said it.
I can't believe you said it,
but you said it.
Do me a favor.
Think about what you just said.
;-)

We'll see who has the last laugh on Tuesday.

Sarah is always welcome to express her thoughts and opinions.
She always has a unique perspective.

Hey mouse: Didn't you know there is a Moscow in Wisconsin?

Is this April fools day? I didn't see my shadow.

And I can see Russia from Wisconsin.

nugrose: How dare you express my thoughts!

Palin endorses Prosser = The kiss of death.
