Congressional Rethuglicans using Wisconsin Rethug Playbook
For the past year Wisconsin Rethug's have been trying to pass consitutional admendments to change the State constitution (Gay Marrige, Conceal-and-Carry, Property Tax Freeze, etc...) in order to weaken Gov. Jim Doyle and use wedge issues.

They failed in Wisconsin from their thug like tactics we are seeing this same type of rapid tactic all over again nationaly.

2. Imagine what they'd have done if McCallum had won
Edited on Tue Jul-20-04 04:45 PM by sybylla
Gives me shivers just thinking about it.

Puke Senate, Puke Assembly, Puke Governor. We'd be living in state where corporations had free reign, education was privatized, wingnuts carried guns and the police could knock on your door to see who you were having sex with.

Maybe that's what we need to cure the sheeple from ever voting puke again but I think the cure is worse than the disease in this instance.


edit: grammar - I blame it on the beer.

3. But he wasn't going to win
Even the State Journal endorsed Doyle. And Ed Thompson probably ran just to take votes away from McCallum.

5. Yep, usually Wisconsin brews
Leinies, New Glarus Spotted Cow, Sprecher. I don't drink it very often but yesterday afternoon it was so hot in the office (I work at home) that I cracked open a Leinies Creamy Dark.
