“What happened here was the accumulated karmic backlash of forty years’ worth of Establishment Democrats telling the Activist Left that they were the vanguard of, and spokesmen for, a broad American populist movement. For the longest time, such lies were simply an accepted part of the public policy debate; mostly because the country had no yardstick by which to judge the Left’s turnout and activities.
“But then came the Tea Parties — which showed people what a real American populist movement looks like, and what it can do — and its success stung the Activist Left at the exact moment that Scott Walker came along and not unreasonably decided that if he was elected on a platform of doing certain things, he had best start doing them. This infuriated the Left, but not as much as the refusal of Walker and the WI GOP to go weak-kneed at the first sign of push-back. So… the recall movement was born!
“And… fizzled. The Left should have cut their losses when Prosser demonstrated that drum circles and illegal indoor camping in the Rotunda didn’t translate into votes… and they definitely should have cut their losses when the first wave of recalls didn’t live up to the hype. But they didn’t, and now the people of Wisconsin are increasingly demonstrating that they’re tired of all of this – and they’re not blaming the Republicans, either. Such a shame, but that’s what you get whe- hey! The bacon’s fully cooked.”

Just wanted to touch base and thank you for picking up the “17 things” link. When I saw the Louisiana reference, I just had to comment. I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, went to LSU (2 yrs only) and both of my “kids” went to LSU – in fact my son and I went to the Cotton Bowl game here in Dallas in January. I spent lots of great time hunting and fishing in La. and still miss the food and the people – DO NOT miss the politics. I’m come back to visit from time to time. I’m going to continue to update the Perry articles as I get new information and to add more links. Again, thanks for visiting Pesky Truth!
