Wisconsin conservatives cry for help to avoid upcoming behind the shed butt whacking

Evidentally radio isn't that great when it comes to getting signatures.

The GOP failed so epically bad on this.

How many GOP'ers in Wisconsin will get recalled? Let's put the over/under at 3.

Conservatives: We Are Being Outworked And Out-Organized In Wisconsin Recall Campaigns

Both national and Wisconsin-based Republican operatives tell the Huffington Post the party is being dramatically outworked and out-organized by Democrats in the recall campaigns being launched against state Senators.

The operatives, who raised their concerns out of hope it would jar the GOP into assertiveness, argue complacency has taken over after Governor Scott Walker successfully shepherded his anti-collective bargaining bill into law. While the Wisconsin Democratic Party, with major assists from progressive groups and unions, has harnessed resentment towards the governor into a full-throttled effort to recall eight GOP Senators, neither the enthusiasm nor organizational acumen exists on the Republican side of the aisle.

“It's clear that Democrats and liberal organizations are engaging in an attempt to make recall more than a mere hypothetical possibility for some Wisconsin Republicans,” said Liz Mair, Vice President of Hynes Communications and former RNC Online Communications Director, who has followed closely the work of conservative groups in Wisconsin. “Even though Governor Walker acted to end the impasse, Republicans and conservatives should not be acting like this is done and dusted.”

A conservative activist working inside the state on recall efforts was even more explicitly distraught. The Wisconsin Republican Party, the operative said, was not lending resources to the recall campaign groups had launched against Democratic Senators, in turn causing those groups to narrow their target list down from eight lawmakers to just three.

“It would be nice if the Republican Party, operatives, etc, would step in with a little money,” said the activist, who asked to remain nameless lest he draw the GOP even further away from the recall effort. “But they are talking about doing radio and I’m not sure that gets you signatures.”

Because groups of employees could be exploited by members of the government.

And you prefer taxpayers being exploited by groups of employees?

Do you think "members of government" have to pay the unions the stuff they bargain for?

Got an example?

Sure, pension benefits that Pols "give" unions to help buy their votes in the next election. Taxpayers later on have to foot the bill. I think Illinois is a good example of this in action this year. Didn't they just increase state taxes a whole lot this year?
