I'm also six degrees of separation from 200 million Americans who will place him under citizens arrest.

In Wisconsin it's basically 47% to 47%. We fight for 4% points. When not cheated, we have voted faithfully for Obama twice. Without Gerrymandering my and the three counties around me were blue. Once gerrymandered, only one and not my own, is blue. Believe me, we had no big exit of democrats, no big influx of new Repugs. We ALL know without hacking, Clinton would be president. Right this minute, Wanker is so freaked out, he's refusing two special elections because he knows he'll lose, so the Rats are scurrying to change the law on special elections.

Maybe do a little research before you hand out insults. Try using your seemingly superior brain.

So much for trying to be inclusive.. Cuz you ain't.

"It would be senseless to waste taxpayer money on special elections just weeks before voters go to the polls when the legislature has concluded its business," Walker said. "This is why I support, and will sign, the Senate and Assembly plan to clarify special election law."

McConnell did it with the SCOTUS seat. Now Walker is going to do it, too. Thanks McTurtle for setting a great precedent for your GOP ratfuckers to follow.

If this were a Democratic candidate, he'd be in prison.
The U.S. is fucked up; the Dems need to start putting these fuckers in prison.
I don't understand what the difference is.
Money?
Is that what it is?

contempt for the Rule of Law. Republicans didn't get their way in the recent election ruling, so they scramble to change the law to fit the result they want. Republican legislators didn't like the ruling of their State Supreme Court regarding gerrymandering, so they want to impeach the Justices.

This is a Party, the Republican Party, that has gone rogue, pushing against our Constitutional Republic, turning over their own State norms and laws.

Vote Them Out!
