"It's consistent on how everything has been handled" a soapbox moment on the Wisconsin Recall effort

[Ellipsis]

Just another dumb farmer from Wisconsin here (not really a farmer, just a figure of speech)


I've posted this video more then once... It is however the crux of the spirit and passion that has fueled this recall effort and I predict will change the governorship. This impromptu moment captured forever transpired in late February of 2011 echos the spirit and compassion of more then a few historically memorable politicians who's idealism and passion help shape this state.

Wisconsin, one of the last to be corrupted by national interests and corporate politics used to be just "a nice place to visit" during the summer. With progress and the ability to now affordably rape this state of it's natural resources and it's people, Walker and his cronies saw Wisconsin as opportunity for to make a big pile of cash, and at the same time thought it could push forward a national agenda. A big part of this concerted effort has been taking advantage of idealism Wisconsinites used to wear on their sleeves. Guess what Scott... we now "lock our doors at night."

At this point... No amount of money spent on advertising is going to put the beast the republicans let loose back in it's box and Scott while you have managed to polarize this state like it's never been before with lies and false promises I'm certain that when the dust settles history will show you were the best ally the democrats (if one needs to define as a republican or democratic issue) ever had.

4. The thing of beauty was it wasn't a speech... it just happened.

This diatribe transpired at 5:13 just fifteen minutes after he walked in. It "vomited" out and that's what makes it so special.

.. to watch Wisconsin kick Snotty and Co. to the curb.

7. I love Gordon Hintz...

what a great take down of the GOP in Wisconsin. I think some of the things he mentioned in his diatribe(I mean this is the best possible way), are probably illegal actions on the part of the GOP if not they should be. It definitely should be illegal to conduct a vote before the stated time of the vote. Holding the vote before hand takes away the right of the people to have representation. And not giving copies of bills out to all the members of the Senate, that is beyond a dirty trick.

I understand both sides will use the law to their advantage whenever and however they can. I have seen a lot of nit picky rules used on both sides and I am sort of ok with that, it is part of the fight. But, this is way beyond that it is dirty unethical and I am pretty sure illegal and it just has to stop. This is so bad that even if Democrats took this kind of thing on as a tactic, I would be embarrassed and I might even refuse to support the tactics.
