News From Down The Interstate

There's all kinds of news from down the interstate highway that runs from here to over yonder in Madison, and then beyond.   We'll just hop off in Madison today, because that's where the news is.  It's the news of shitty people doing shitty things.  And as is often the case in Madison, the shittiest people who do the shittiest things are the Democrats and their allies.

Set the Wayback Machine for 2010 and remember that Scott Walker won the gubernatorial race with 52% of the vote.  Governor Walker then enacted reforms that among other things, reduced the power of unions to strongarm public employees for monthly dues, and then use those dues to buy elections.  Union membership dropped drastically, as state and local government workers opted out.  Several union locals voted to de-certify.  Numbskulls took over the state capitol, made murder threats against the Walker family and so forth.  You remember all this, of course.

This led to Governor being recalled in a very acrimonious election, which he won, this time by 53%.

The Milwaukee County DA, a staunch Democrat, wanted to throw the recall election, so a trumped-up "John Doe" investigation into Walker and  several aides was launched.  Mucho secrecy, hush hush, leak leak.  After looking in every possible place for evidence of Walker's having committed a crime, no crime was found.  It was all very STASI - agents kicking down people's doors in the wee hours, seizing computers and telephones and filing cabinets, and so forth.  But the prosecutors got bupkus.

That investigation is over.  But for revenge, the hack judge running the sham of an investigation decided "secrecy, schmecrecy" and released to the news media some 27,000 pages of emails that had been seized during the investigation. All the usual media suspects are now winnowing through the emails, proclaiming that this or that will require apologies and bowing and scraping and must surely end Walker's career.  Here's the NYT article, for example.



You've heard or read, of course that the great whisperers have been whispering Walker's name as a potential candidate for the US presidency in 2016.  That's the election that has been set aside for Hillary Clinton so that she can levitate straightaway into the Oval Office, which will than be re-named the Ovary Office.  Huzzah!  Well, for Walker to be considered a viable presidential candidate in 2016, he must first win re-election in 2014.   The Democrats, of course, don't want that and are willing to do ANYTHING to defeat Walker.

And by ANYTHING, they mean these things:

First, the Milwaukee County DA has launched a second John Doe investigation, this time aimed at the groups in Wisconsin who supported Walker.  Some 29 organizations have been targeted, have had their records seized (including information on all donors).   Organizers of those groups have been threatened with arrest if they so much as talk about the investigation.  This has had the chilling effect of negating those organizations abilities to raise money used in independent interest group advertising for Walker's campaign.  By the way, did I mention that 18 members of the Milwaukee County DA's office signed the Walker re-call petitions?  They did.  Totally unbiased investigation, though.

Second, a George Soros backed PAC called American Bridge 21st Century is pouring through all 27,000 pages of the newly released, hitherto secret emails, misinterpret them, and put up whatever kinds of crap they choose onto their spanking new website. Here's an article about Soros' group and what they are doing, thanks to Soros' $1 million donation.  Soros, of course, is a co-chair of the Clinton campaign's fund raising arm.

Third, the Big Labor is jumping in with big money.  The AFL-CIO has announced that it will spend $300 million to take out  five Republican governors, most notably, Scott Walker.  This is happening, of course while the IRS is making to impossible for grass-roots conservative groups to obtain their necessary 501(c)(4) status approvals, thereby suppressing voter rallying, get out the vote efforts; and while the the DA's office is making it impossible for existing conservative groups in Wisconsin to raise funds.

That's the news from down the interstate for today.  Do you know the difference between governmental fascism and the Democrat party?  Nope, I don't either.  They look pretty much the same form this part of the woods.
