Wisconsin Republican TARGETED For RECALL By Wife and Maid



:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


:smoke:


" Yes, life as a Republican sell out is tough these days. Republican state Senator Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac) is one of the eight senators being targeted by outraged Wisconsinites. When they arrived at his home bearing their recall petition, his maid answered the door. She was more than pleased to sign the petition and said she was sure his wife would also sign it. Later Mrs. Hopper appeared at the door and informed the protesters that Sen. Hopper was no longer living at this address.



Why the betrayal?


Here he is explaining why he won’t be at a local parade with his family because of the evil protesters who are threatening him, courtesy of WBAY:

http://www.wbay.com/Global/story.asp?S=14236761



" Citing recent threats during the budget repair bill battle, Republican Senator Randy Hopper says he will not participate in Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Fond du Lac.

In a written statement, Senator Hopper said, “I had looked forward to walking the parade route and sharing this celebration with my family, friends, neighbors, and constituents, but I, in no way, want to put the citizens of Fond du Lac in harm’s way.”
:rofl::rofl:



Yes, it’s the protesters fault that he can’t attend a parade with his lovely wife and family. Those horrible, evil teachers and farmers – does their perfidy know no end?:rofl:


Well, er, it turns out, Mr. Hopper was exercising his family values by living in another district with a 25 year old
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/03/13/wi-repub-lives-outside-district-with-mistress-says-wife/

former state Senate committee staffer and now lobbyist. Oh, I loves it when the Republicans sleep with their dollar bills literally. It just makes the story so much easier.



Blogging Blue reports:
http://bloggingblue.com/2011/03/11/randy-hopper-family-man/



" Randy Hopper filed for divorce from his wife in August 2010, and it’s being reported his soon to be ex-wife will be signing a recall petition.

As for the claim by Hopper’s soon to be ex-wife that Hopper is living in Madison with his 25-year-old mistress, I’ve received unconfirmed reports the “other woman” is Valerie Cass, who as of this morning was a lobbyist for Persuasion Partners, Inc., a right-wing lobbying firm."




Gosh, maybe Mr. Hopper lied about the reason he wasn’t attending the parade with his family. Maybe it has something to do with the 25 year old he’s living with now in another district. I mean, I would imagine that a wife who is signing a recall petition against her soon to be ex who is living with a 25 year old lobbyist wouldn’t be willing to sell herself out by attending a parade with her cheating husband.

1. But all this is OK - because he is a republican
This sort of behavior is acceptable on the right when it would be drug through the tabloid TV and so called news for weeks if it were a Democrat.

So move along and let the little cheater hypocrite have his aid and eat it too.

13. " It was State Senator Hopper who arranged for the controversial testimony of businessman & Catholic
Right ally, now U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), opposing the Child Victims Act.

The bill, which would have extended the statute of limitations for victims of child sex abuse to file lawsuits against their attackers, was vigorously opposed by the Catholic Church and the insurance industry. Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel columnist Daniel Bice fingered Hopper as the recruiter who persuaded Johnson to help kill the bill:

Late last year <2009>, Johnson attended a briefing on the legislation for various Catholic officials held by state Sen. Randy Hopper, a Republican from Fond du Lac.
Frank Cocozzelli wrote at Talk to Action that Johnson

... seems more interested in protecting the Church and the insurance industry than the victims of pedophile clergy -- placing the interests of powerful institutions before the well-being of children. These institutions and their advocates, like Johnson, apparently believe that even child rape is okay as long as you can get away with it until the statute of limitations runs out. Indeed, they not only seek exemption from the rules that apply to everyone else, but to ensure that they have friends in high places so that continues to be the so.
Apparently the same could be said about Hopper. ..."

3. "I, in no way, want to put the citizens of Fond du Lac in harm's way."
LOVE that - what family members had he planned to walk with? Certainly not his wife!

I met some people from Fond du Lac County at Madison's rally Saturday. They are involved in the Hopper Recall effort and told me they had collected over 10,000 signatures already. I believe that is about 2/3 of the number they need.

Also - reading the comments following the article, one person wonders if Hopper will declare signatures invalid if they were not collected in his district. For the record: Signatures may be collected in ANY district, as long as the signers reside in and are eligible voters in the district the Senator represents. They do not have to be registered to vote even--just eligible to vote. So no worries there!

6. No, and according to reliable sources he HASN't been for some time
They hope to get the wife to testify to that (there are some personal reasons why she may not), because it is of course grounds in itself to have him removed from office.
