Wisconsin Democratic Party Spox Removed after Twitter Rant
What do @GovWalker and Jeffrey Dahmer have in common? Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) @GovWalker spent more than Jeffrey Dahmer to beat criminal charges. Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) @GovWalker had better lawyers than Jeffrey Dahmer in beating the rap. Clear that he committed crimes. Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) Democratic Party staffer Graeme Zielinski was removed as the party spokesman following his Twitter outburst in which he compared Republican Gov. Scott Walker to serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, sources said Monday. Party leaders also docked Zielinski a week's pay - which works out to a little more than $1,000 - for his tweets after Milwaukee prosecutors announced that they were shutting down a secret criminal investigation of Walker's aides.

Governor Walker’s Victory Spells Doom For Public Sector Unions
Public sector unions have reached their high water mark. Let the cleanup begin as the red ink recedes. Despite a last-minute smear campaign accusing Scott Walker of fathering an illegitimate love child, the governor’s recall election victory sends a clear message that should resonate around the nation: The fiscal cancer devouring state budgets has a cure, and he has found it. The costly defeat for the entrenched union interests that tried to oust Walker in retribution for challenging their power was marked by President Obama’s refusal to lend his weight to the campaign for fear of being stained by defeat. We’ll see how well this strategy of opportunistic detachment serves in the fall as Obama reaches out to unions for support. This fight is not without precedent. [...]
MSNBC Ed Schultz On Walker Win: He Could “Be Indicted In The Next Few Days”
Schultz On Walker Win "In many respects it's to be expected, considering how much money was thrown at this race. You know, NBC is calling it for Walker. Okay, I think it's awful close and there's a lot of absentee ballots yet that are still out and it's going to be very, very close down to the wire" MSNBC's Schultz said. "Certainly it is not the end and it's going to be an opportunity for the progressive movement to regroup nationally and understand exactly what they are up against," a teary-eyed Schultz lamented. "And this sets the template for the Republicans and tells the right-wing in this country that if they can outfund their opponent they have a real good shot as winning," Schultz, an enthurasatic supporter of President Barack Obama in 2008 said toward the end of the [...]

Clinton to Campaign in Wisconsin, Obama stays Clear
Seems the Obama campaign is steering clear of Wisconsin even though the DNC chair says that Wisconsin is a dry run for the November election. It appears to us that Obama is afraid that Walker will win the Recall and the non0coragious president doesn't want to be equated with a Barrett Loss. Meanwhile, President Clinton will head to Wisconsin on Friday. Bill Clinton will head to Wisconsin on Friday to campaign on behalf of Tom Barrett (D) in the race to recall Gov. Scott Walker (R), CNN reports. Clinton will be the most high profile Democratic surrogate to travel to Wisconsin to campaign for Barrett. As of now, there are no plans for President Obama or Vice President Biden to travel to Wisconsin prior to next Tuesday's election via Clinton to Campaign in Wisconsin.
Capital Cronyism from Walker’s Wisconsin to Obama’s Tax evading G.E.consultant in the White House
Op-Ed by Albert N. Milliron, Editor, Iron ill News Service (Columbia, S,C,)--When Democrats ran for the Presidency, they emphatically made it clear that there would be no business as usual as occurred in the White House during the Bush years. Washington was going to be ethical and Nancy Pelosi was going to drain that swamp, and a new sprint of transparency would be viable for all to see. Conversely, Republicans, with their tail between their legs, prayerfully asked votes to give them another opportunity as they have learned their collective lesson about excessive spending and unfunded mandates. Seems some of the Wisconsin protestors have identified once again that Government seems to be more about talking about revival and transformed hearts than actually implementing their [...]
Update: Restaurant owner Lied to drum up Pro-union Business! Liberals Only! Wisc. Gov. Walker refused service at Restaurant
UPDATE: Punked Well my friends, this is the case of a Madison restaurant trying to gain liberal credibility by making up a total lie about how they booted out Scott Walker out of their establishment. When BadgerBlogger called them to confirm the story, the staff refused to confirm or deny, and continued to obfuscate until they hung up the phone… But in fact, they didn’t hang up, it appears that they accidentally put the phone on speaker…. And BadgerBlogger tapes continued to roll. Our audio captures the restaurant staff talking about how they have to take down the blog posting because people are starting to call about it, you can actually hear them logging into the blog and deleting it. Too late. We confirm with Governor Walker’s staff that the Governor has never been [...]
