    Wisconsin recall elections.

    Repubs still hold the Wis. state house.
    And next week, two fleebaggers face their recalls.

    Thank God, America is starting to get it.

    And the highlight of my night was watching MSLSD reporting live from Wisconsin.
    Hoping for a libtard victory.
    Only to experience FAIL!!
    I hope someone has a suicide watch on Ed Schultz.

    The outside unions spent $30 million on these 6 elections.
    No Koch brothers comparision there.
    This is a massive FAIL for libtard policies.

    And next week the fleebaggers might lose two more seats.

    And MSLSD was a "wave" of LOLZ last night.


    MSNBC host Ed Schultz wants to be taken seriously as a TV host, but he hasn't yet learned not to promote victory for liberal Democrats before the results are all in. On Tuesday night, even after the polls closed, Schultz was touting a possible Democratic wave. Twice, he proclaimed before his 10 pm show came on that Democrats were "brilliant on the basics" in the Wisconsin ground game -- before they lost four and won two.

    At 6 pm, Schultz told Al Sharpton "And if the Democrats are successful tonight, it is really the template on how to get it done. I mean, I think that the progressives in this state, as profound as it is, they have been brilliant on the basics. They have gone door to door. They have talked to their neighbors. They have taken people by the hand to do what they've got to do."

    He added: "They have made the countless hours of phone calls. They have done all the things, you know, that -- it's the old saying, Al, you can't take my heart, you can`t take my soul, and you`re not going to take my vote. That really has been the attitude against this big money that has come into this state. And what we saw today and just the last couple months is the grassroots will get the back of people who stand on principle for core Democratic values."

    At 8 pm, Schultz repeated this line to Lawrence O'Donnell:

    I have talked to a number of grassroots workers today that have told us that they think that the ground game by the progressives to beat back these six Republican senators has been highly sophisticated. They have been brilliant on the basics. They have done everything they've had to do. I mean, this race has everything. It is so futuristic. It is so on the cutting edge. It is transforming how politics is going to be run, I think, in this country.

    And it is a real message to Ohio with Senate Bill 5 that is now finally on the ballot, where they got far more signatures than they needed. It's a real message to Michigan where Rick Snyder and his radical agenda and some of the things they have passed in that state such as a financial management decision to come in and run a municipality if they don`t like the way it`s being run financially. I mean, this really is a message I think, Lawrence, to the rest of the country on what has to happen for the progressives.

    The failure of the Democrats hadn't sunk in during Schultz's own 10 pm hour, as he asked Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee:

    SCHULTZ: What's the national lesson?

    GREEN: That lesson is that Republicans who declare war on working families will be punished by voters.

    Oops...

    Public Union's spent their money foolishly

    Despite all the outside money that was spent in recalling the politicians that supported the budget cuts. I'm glad that the recall vote in Wisconsin end up the way it did. Wisconsin soon will have a recall vote on the State Democratic Senators who fed the state during the budget process. I will be disappointed if they are not recalled

    The results of this recall vote should be a wake up call to the public unions in this country.
    When will America wake up to what Obama is doing to this country?

    On Tuesday, 6 seats were up for grabs. All 6 were held by Republicans. 4 kept their seats and 2 lost. Republicans still remain in control of the Senate by a 17 to 16 majority.

    Next week, two Democrats face recall elections. If the Democrats win, they still do not control the State Senate. If they lose, they would be looking at a 19 to 14 minority. Or, exactly what the Senate was before the recall elections of 8 Senators.

    Democrats are saying they 'won' because they took down two Republicans. Republicans are saying the 'won' because they held on to the majority.


    At the end of the day, MILLIONS was spent with the result being no change in control and at best a big game of musical chairs.

    So just a lot of wasted time trying to shed a monopoly of services from their community for the most part.

    Recall elections are a waste resources regardless of the outcome. At best, recall elections should only be allowed if (1) there is a sufficient number of voter signatures on a recall petition, and (2) the judicial branch has determined that there is at least the appearance of the failure to perform the duties of office.

    Recalling because people don't agree with an elected officials politics is BS.

    Shame on Wisconsin for even letting this foolishness exists.

    It wasn't the state persay that wasted all the time and money, it was the national public unions and the loud left wing mouth pieces from MSNBC.

    But I agree recalls are a waste.

    The unions spent 35 million of their members money! It is the union members that should be the most angry of all.

    So the Republicans lost 2 seats, and the Democrats lost 0 seats. Politically, it is a win for the dems, even if they didn't attain a majority. Especially when you consider that one of the remaining Republicans, Dale Schultz, is a pro-labor moderate. He's not very liberal on social issues, but he voted against Scott Walkers draconian, union-stripping legislation.

    I agree a lot of money was wasted in this debacle. All the more reason to have publicly funded elections.

    Who said the unions spent 35 million? Are you saying the GOP spent nothing, cause the numbers I'm hearing for this election (+ oth sides) is that 30 million figure.
