Obviously Citizen Kane had the right idea. Fraud at the polls

This was a huge loss for Wisconsin with Wisconsin citizens helped make it possible by having enough people reply to the Republican slime machine. The key is stay mobilized and work to make the constituency ungovernable and power might have to be achieved by agitation rather than by electoral means. The corruption and rot in this democracy is intense.

The RepubliCONS want to put this behind them. Their talking points for explaining away the strange results at the polls in Wisconsin are: "Voter fatigue, voters thought it was unfair to recall a Governor and have a do over, voters of Wisconsin are tired of fighting....

I've heard these talking points expressed here on DU already. They want real liberals to sit down and be quiet, to stop fighting. They are getting a little tired. Now is the time to increase the pace of the fight... a massive protest right now would demoralize them.

This is like the mass suppression of the occupy movement across the country. Everything is shut down. People are told to sit down, shut up, and let the politicians/economic leaders continue to steal what they want.
