Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker retained his governorship Tuesday night, besting Democrat Tom Barrett in a race that was a referendum on Walker’s decision to take on public employee unions.
Walker led Barrett, who was the governor’s 2010 opponent and is the current mayor of Milwaukee, 54 to 45 percent with 83 percent of precincts reporting. Walker beat Barrett in 2010, 52 to 46.5 percent.
Following chants of “Thank you, Scott!” Walker delivered a victory speech from his Waukesha, Wis. headquarters focused on the future and the message he believes his win communicated to the nation.
“Tonight, we tell Wisconsin, we tell our country, and we tell people all across the globe that voters really do want leaders who stand up and make the tough decisions,” Walker said.

Thank you, Scott Walker, for standing up to queenie Obozo, the unions, Billy boy Clinton and princess Holder(man). You are the only governor to stand up to the unions and queenie Obozo. I have NO respect for queenie Obozo, the unions, Billy boy Clinton and princess Holder(man). So, the voters of Wisconsin sent a message to queenie Obozo. That they’re not gonna take his crap any more. The American people want a leader like Gov. Scott Walker, because he NEVER caved in. They want someone who is God-fearing and is for we, the people, and will never cave in to American-hating pressure from the left. See website: http://www.haasstrep68.com
Below is the link to MSNBC’s story about the political win on June 5. I note that MSNBC is giving advice to its readers on how to overcome this loss already, as well as crowing about the one or two seats the Democrats won in the recall.
Are the Democrats desperate? I don’t think so: They are preparing to battle in November, and I DO NOT think it will be a pretty battle; I suspect underhanded dealings and actions that need to be reported, but I doubt seriously that the lame stream media will report anything that goes against their hopes and dreams for a socialist state.
What I fail to understand in all this is the media’s goal: Self-castration in reporting liberty? Do they even have any idea that they are setting themselves up for the biggest control over them that can be done by a government?
If you think you have an answer to the above, PLEASE tell me what you think it is!
One thing Greg Shuey wrote is something that, although it might smack a bit of the 1960′s McCarthy witch hunt, seems to be the only way to put down some of the progressive agenda: Declare progressivism a disease requiring incarceration until cured.
