Wisconsin’s GOP Secession Panic

Wisconsin Republicans are set to vote on a measure this weekend that would affirm the state’s right to secede from the union. Goodbye, U.S. of A., Hello U.S. of Cheese.

"The vote comes at a fraught time for the Wisconsin Republican Party. GOP officials have been hoping that the convention would become a rally of support for Gov. Scott Walker, who faces a tough re-election campaign against Democrat Mary Burke, a former executive at Trek Bicycle Company and a former state secretary of commerce."

Meet Mary Burke, the Woman Who Could Beat Scott Walker

"Republicans call her “Millionaire Mary,” but Mary Burke has plenty of assets aside from her wealth to make her a strong contender to derail the reelection of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, along with his dreams of the presidency. Polls show the former Trek Bicycle executive either tied with Walker or trailing by just a few percentage points, while the Republican governor, who weathered a recall election in 2012, looks headed for a closer race than anyone expected."

1. Mary Burke!

[Mister Ed]

18. Wow. And the Republicans are deriding her as "Millionaire Mary"?

It's going to be great fun watching them twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain why successful businesspeople shouldn't be elected to public office.

[Cha]

19. it's okay if you're a con.. rofl

[lob1]

28. They call her "Millionaire Mary", and they call the Koch Brothers "sir".

[MADem]

2. They make delicious cheese in Vermont. They even make mozzarella di bufala there!

If Wisconsin leaves the union, no "most favored nation" trading status for them~!

Hurrah for VT cheese!

[Cha]

3. I know they do, MADem ..and New York makes some pretty good Cheese, too!

[MADem]

4. I imagine they're getting pretty sick of the "cheese"-y bullshit that wingnut governor is shopping

in Wisconsin!

[Cha]

5. Ergo the rise of Mary Burke!

[MADem]

8. I hope she can win. Those poor people in that state, they deserve some relief from the

GOP craziness they've endured.

[Cha]

9. It will so miraculous because of exactly how far down to the bottom of the pits of hell walker

corruption took our Cheese Heads in the NW.

[dionysus]

22. Yancy's Fancy is damn good cheese.

[Cha]

24. yes sir!

[dionysus]

25. bacon gouda, jalepeno pappadew, jalepeno cayenne, so many delicious flavors :)

[Cha]

26. Ah you're killin' me!

[dionysus]

30. guess who has to go to the grocery store later? guess who's buying some cheese?

[Cha]

31. Guess who got their SS Check and

can get myself to the grocery store, too? Surely some good ol NY Cheese has found its way out to Kaua'i. rofl

[Cirque du So-What]

16. We make cheese right here in OH-HYE-YO too

Damn good cheese too - and not just from the big ag players either. The Amish, whose largest North American settlement is in Holmes county, make a ginormous variety of cheeses - and lots of it. We won't miss Wisconsin either.

[Scootaloo]

17. Nothing beats Tillamook

Oregon cheese is best cheese. The rest of you might as well be eating velveeta.

[Cirque du So-What]

20. Can't argue with that

I recall Tillamook cheese fondly.

[dionysus]

23. bah.. Yancy's japepeno peppadew reigns supreme...

[Cha]

32. Good to know, Cirque.. the Amish made some excellent cheese in NY too when I

lived there.

29. So past time! Thanks for reading all the way to the

end of the OP, Endgames.

33. Go Mary Burke...

She says Walker’s refusal to accept Medicaid expansion makes “no common sense and no economic sense,” and his turndown of $800 million in federal money to build high-speed rail service to connect to Chicago was “definitely just political. We could use those jobs.” At 55, Burke is a political novice, and in a polarized electorate, that might be a winning formula.

Wisconsin, we have a whole lot of winning to do.
