Michael Moore and the Wis Dem's can rant, but they say little about the facts. The bottom line...the ballots and the paper trail are there, witnessed and now entered.

April 8, 2011 The Wisconsin judicial race: This is what democracy looks like Published: 11:21 AM 04/08/2011 \| Updated: 11:22 AM 04/08/2011 Eric Golub is a Brooklyn-born stockbrokerage and oil professional living in the People's Republic of Los Angeles. His blog is the TYGRRRR EXPRESS and his three books are "Ideological Bigotry," "Ideological Violence," and "Ideological Idiocy." His interests include politics, football, the stock market, and Republican Jewish brunettes. The left is trying to steal another election, but this time they will have to work much harder to do it. On Wednesday night, liberal Wisconsin state attorney general JoAnne Kloppenburg had a 204-vote lead in the Badger State’s contentious judicial election. She then immediately declared victory. That is what liberals do. When a conservative is ahead, the left tells Americans to “be patient,” and “let the process run its course.” Then when they steal enough votes to take the lead, they tell conservatives that “this has dragged on long enough,” and that “the American people want us to stop fighting and get back to work.” Not so fast. Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge David Prosser now has a 7,500-vote lead. This is outside the margin where a recount is mandatory. If Kloppenburg wants a recount, she will have to pay for it herself. She will be fine, since unions will just forcibly raise the dues of their members through various intimidation tactics. This is the very reason Governor Scott Walker passed the bill restricting the power of unions to break the law. Judge Prosser is the most non-controversial individual on Earth. He is even boring by white male Wisconsin standards. His only crime during a distinguished and yet publicly uneventful career was to belong to the same political party as Governor Walker. While the left will caution against Republicans celebrating too early, a 200-vote liberal proclamation of victory should surely be grounds for a 7,500-vote conservative coronation. Now for a message to every leftist who slogged from around the country to Wisconsin to try and disrupt decent society: This is what democracy looks like! The world is a better place today as every Wisconsin union thug is either in a fetal position sucking their thumb or trying to explain why this was really a victory because they “sent a message.” Let me send a message to them: Game over. The left is an aging former high-priced call girl refusing to admit that her glory days are gone. Seventy-five-year-old prostitutes do not fare well. They become madams for a while and leech off of younger pawns. Such is the life of aging union revolutionaries living off of the dues of young productive workers too scared to say no to their pimps. The left threw everything they had into the Wisconsin judicial race. They invested emotional energy and more than $2 million. This was their stand, and they fell hard. Like Ronald Reagan bankrupting the U.S.S.R., the right needs to force the left to spend every dollar on losing causes. It is time to turn “hope and change” and “Yes, we can” into despair and “you never could and never will.” The left may believe that money comes out of thin air, but even George Soros does not own a printing press. If he wants to throw bad money after worse, to quote George W. Bush, “bring it on.” This is bigger than Wisconsin, and the left knows it. It may not be the leftists’ last gasp, but they are gasping nonetheless. Read more: dailycaller.com
