Discussion before WI Recall Election Continues

By JOHN EYSTER   Monday, June 4, 2012 - 2:58 p.m.

Through today, I have been reading comments posted on my recent WE THE PEOPLE blog posts discussion our WI RECALL ELECTION tomorrow with interest.

At the same time, I have been watching the on-going media reports and articles. I suggest you may want to read one or more of the following:

John Gurda's OpEd, "An Autocratic King Scott damaged state." I agree with John Gurda's conclusion, "For the sake of Wisconsin's future, he richly deserves to be recalled." Do YOU?

I always read Jim Stingl's "In My Opinion" OpEd column and was happy for his commentary, "Imagine a world where political ads were true..." WOW! IF ONLY! Do YOU share that wish? I DO!

AP just reported a few minutes ago that President Obama stands by Tom Barrett, check it out, "Spokesman: 'Obama stands by Tom Barrett'"

And, finally, the Wisconsin State Journal's editorial today, "After all that, it's time to vote." VOTER ID is suspended by our judicial system! IF we do RECALL WALKER and ELECT at least ONE (1) DEM State Senator, it will be SOON DEAD!

I hope so... do YOU?

Here we go...

I have to think, seeing the countless negative ads from Scotty that run 24/7, that he is, in part, attempting to suppress the vote by leaving such an unpleasant taste in our mouth. We'll stay home, feel demoralized, and conclude that they're all the same. Well, we need to embrace the optimism of the USA again and rebuild our country, states, and communities. More investment in all of us -- more and better education -- and more and better healthcare. First, we have to get rid of all the Chicken-Littles.

Managed to read this as it was short which limited your use of capital words not called for. Since you are actually reading the responses my answers match those of saxcat70. I do not like Walker, I do not like some of his deeds or methods. HOWEVER, I am opposed to government by RECALL regardless of party. YOU THE PEOPLE are disenfranchising those who voted in the regular election in 2010 without just cause. IMO.

How many more of these silly blogs are you going to write today? You’re like a child in a room full of adults, wildly flailing his arms around, hoping to get some attention. Sit down somewhere, take your meds, this will all be over soon.

Reince Priebus has such a nice way to draw people together as a leader. From the same mold as Walker it appears.

“Democrats really were just foolish in this way they approached this recall,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a sit-down interview with NBCPolitics.com this week. “They set up this World Series event in Wisconsin, built it up. They put on the ballot a candidate who’s not worth two nickels – he’s already lost twice statewide, and is going to lose a third time now.”
