Republican's prepare phony recall petition outrage with angry volunteer base of checkers.

How do you generate the Republican base? Offer them the chance to deprive recall petition signers their right to be counted.

What’s even more bizarre? They’re acting like nothing unusual happened to spur on the massive protests. Get a load of the hyperbole used to jazz up God’s chosen party:
jsonline: Republicans say they're ready to scour the signatures to make sure they're up to snuff. More than 5,000 people have volunteered for the verification effort through a website, while hundreds of others have signed up at county GOP headquarters.  Ben Sparks, a GOP spokesman said "This is in response to the repeated allegations of fraud that have permeated this process from day one."

Allegations they created out of whole cloth. But the chance to spin the lie that there were fraudulent petitions is just too irresistible for many volunteers.
Democrats say, bring it on. "The Republican narrative that there are vast numbers of fraudulent petitions is a fiction designed to demean the people of Wisconsin who have voiced their opposition to Scott Walke," said Graeme Zielinski, the Democratic Party spokesman. 

But here’s the disconnect; conservative voters think it’s all about winning, all about the sour grapes, and not about their arrogant anti-pubic approach to government. It’s also not about the lousy economy, or huge job losses.
David Karst, Milwaukee County GOP chair, said volunteers are determined to keep Walker in office. "We had an election (in 2010)," Karst said. "Their voice was heard. Now, we have to go ahead and confirm that vote again. We're in constant campaign mode. The opposition just won't let it go."

Even worse, conservatives are at it again; Democrats just don’t like Walker. That’s it, that simple. Being bold, and really pissing off the public, is a badge of honor to Republicans. Which isn’t bad if you think people will buy into being ruled by the “iron hand” of government.
"Effectively, our democracy is in jeopardy if they succeed in removing Walker. It sets the precedent that anytime you don't like someone, you can remove them from office. It will prevent people from being bold," added Procopis, a Republican activist who fell eight signatures short of qualifying for the ballot in 2010 to run against Rep. David Cullen (D-Milwaukee).

  1. Republicans have spent too much time watching Fox News. Every time they open their mouths crazy sh*t comes out. These people need to be put under sedation and played soothing music. They are now paranoid of their own paranoia.
