Great NEWS for Monday! Thanks, with the heat; outages; fires raging and general chaos, that is some wonderful news.

Perhaps this will give an opportunity to stop the madness. But as I understand it, the November elections could usher in another slate of Koch-approved candidates.

nt

So happy for the people of WI!

I'll take whatever I can get.

to give up, pack your toys and GO HOME!! YOU LOST!!! DEAL WITH IT!! SUCK MY TOE (or whatever other appendage is hanging in front of your face)!! Your rich sugar-daddy Koch brothers can't buy you this one! THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN WON!!

LOSER!!!

To quit politics and get a job cleaning Slurpee machines. Republicans are a dying breed.

Too bad the DNC didn't step up enough to make sure that Walker was recalled!

Wanggard is considering his options??? Really???

Concede already, buddy. Can you imagine the outrage if this had gone the other way? The demands for Lehman to concede would have begun before the polls closed. If he had asked for a recount, he would have been castigated for wasting time and money. And if after the recount the result remained the same and he responded by saying he was "considering his options" heads would have exploded.

Forgive me if I find all of this Republican bullying and obnoxious behavior completely ridiculous.

Rec

What next move? Why is there always a next move from these guys despite seeing the will of the people carried out? Why not make the next move a call to the Democratic winner to congratulate him instead of trying to cook some new Rovian scheme?

After all, they haven't really conceded Roe v Wade yet. That's 40 years.

Still fighting Social Security. 75 years.

I suppose one could admire their tenacity, but I wish they'd direct it toward better causes.

I'm tired of DEMS conceding prematurely in federal, state and even local elections. In Wisconsin, Barrett / Walker would be my last example.

So here is our new rule for concession. We will not concede 1 minute, 1 hour or 1 day sooner that the last republican conceded. So in a state race Wanggaard would set the standard. So if it take 30 days, 40 days, 50 days whatever.

Give notice now in the next state race WE WILL NOT CONCEDE FOR the number of "Wanggaard days".

So every new republican hold out would reset the standard. FUCK-em let them bitch, whine, threaten, sue whatever FUCK-em.

He is so smart. Let him try to pass his crap now.

"Way to go Wisconsin"! Now, keep trying to get rid of Hitler Walker!

...when he tried to strike a (fake-ass) conciliatory tone after winning the recall election.

Interesting fact: Lehman was a "selective objector" during the Vietnam war: http://www.wisconsinreporter.com/lehmans-war-wi-senate-candidate-still-fighting-vietnam-war-record

Standing in the induction line, he declined to step forward to serve, refused induction and went home.

Later, Lehman was indicted in federal court. In 1971, he was found guilty of refusing induction, he appealed. His appeal was denied, and in August 1972, right around his 27th birthday, he reported to a federal marshal and began a 90-day jail sentence in Waukesha County jail.

After that, Lehman did 21 months of hospital work, as a janitor and surgical clerk, as part of his sentence.

In 1975, he received a pardon — from President Gerald Ford. The new president was in a forgiving mood then.

They need to go.

Just do what the republicans tell you and shut up, they said.

...and I pray a sign of things to come in the coming national elections.

the state congress is in session again until after the election in Nov... true / false?
