that should go out from this election. Citizens United bought WI and will buy the country unless we keep on fighting. That is the message from WI. Unless we are all complete idiots we should be energized by this and work on. This is far from over.
Energized? Why is losing always a virtue here?
Why is it no one can accept that they lost? If you always believe that you lose only because it was " stolen" or "paid for" then you have lost before it ever begins.
