Recall Fever Produces Political Nausea
Topic: Liberal Fascism

 

A few weeks ago, progressives and union thugs were high-fiving one another over what they believed to be a slam-dunk: the effort to remove Wisconsin’s Republican governor, Scott Walker, via a recall election. They were seeking revenge for Walker’s budget 2011 reforms, which were based on the radical notion that public servants such as teachers work for…the public.

 

But the recall campaign is beginning to look like a serious miscalculation. Recent polls show Walker leading all his possible Democratic opponents by five- to ten-point margins. And though public opinion concerning the governor’s reforms remains divided, he currently enjoys a 51% job approval rating. The recall election is scheduled for June 5.

 

If the attempt to remove Walker fails, it would be a huge defeat for Big Labor and its radical allies in such precincts as the Occupy movement. It would also be bad news for President Obama, who needs Wisconsin in his column come November. But Scott Walker’s triumphant survival would definitely nudge the Badger State into the “leans Romney” column. Way to bomb yourselves by mistake, comrades…
