Sykes and Bice now try to disassociate him from the rest of the Tea Party because they have been exposed for promoting ideas that greatly offend Wisconsinites.<br />The thing is, the TP has come to dominate the Republican Party. Secession and nullification are part of Tea Party thinking. Walker and the rest of the TP radicals in the legislature may now--since the public has seen what they stand for--try to run from their hidden agenda, but they cannot hide from it.<br />They worry that it will turn off Republican voters, that people might stop to think twice about their candidates, as well as giving Democrats cause to replace them this November.<br />Our DPW needs to indelibly stamp this on the Teapublicans. That's not going negative, that's just stating the truth about them.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-56757142078418783452014-05-03T15:42:59.191-05:002014-05-03T15:42:59.191-05:00Brian McWhatthefuck is so completely absurd.

Articles of Confederation, no longer in force. Sorry resumptive clauses are not in the Constitution. Wrong. Wrong and just plain stupid. No Tenth Amendment twaddle. Even as a revisionist this clown is second rate.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090297197240326597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-75288656432021707982014-05-03T12:15:11.489-05:002014-05-03T12:15:11.489-05:00In a letter released Friday with the Republican As...In a letter released Friday with the Republican Assembly Campaign Committee letterhead, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and 53 of his fellow Republicans in the Assembly called on delegates “to reject the worthless resolution.”<br /><br />[...“This resolution would only serve as a distraction from all of the great conservative policies we have been able to enact with your help,” the letter states. “We need to win elections and we will not win elections on a platform that includes secession.”...]<br /><br />http://host.madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/on-politics/on-politics-assembly-republicans-urge-convention-delegates-to-reject-secession/article_8b599e20-cba3-5153-bab8-113e9412b882.html#ixzz30fnHKnHS<br /><br /><br />What stands out to me is not that they don't support a secession resolution. It's that they are afraid they won't win if there is a secession resolution. <br /><br />Vos's letter wasn't an outright shaming of the the concept. It was a "please take it down or we could lose" appeal. <br /><br />Walker knows it. That's why he's got Charlie Sykes on full throttle to talk the Tea Party caucus off the ledge, distancing Walker & Co. from them and walking this thing back before the election.<br /><br />The thing is, Wisconsin is not the only state that has introduced secession and nullification resolutions. Their beloved Tea Bags have them all in hot water.<br /><br />And lest we forget, Walker was the original Tea Party in WI. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/27/walker-i-was-the-original-tea-party-in-wisconsin/<br /><br />Put THAT in an attack ad.

Turning down Medicaid expansion, trying to stop Common Core due to "indoctrination", and trying to eliminate the state income tax is also a very Confederate, <a href="http://jakehasablog.blogspot.com/2013/12/medicaid-and-tax-reforms-make-wisconsin.html" rel="nofollow"> as I noted back in December. </a><br /><br /> Hulsey's an obnoxious, self-absorbed jerk unworthy of a vote, but his analogy is more accurate than WisGOP and the media want to admit.
