I swear, putting Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch in charge of encouraging businesses to come to Wisconsin has everything to do with their hesitation to do just that. What must they be thinking?
Next month, (Rebecca Kleefisch) will be among the featured speakers at the Right Women, Right Now national summit in Nashville, Tenn. … part of the Republican State Leadership Committee, aims to recruit 300 Republican women candidates in the 2013-'14 election cycle.
Sorry, but this recklessly naïve partisan simpleton is
nothing to celebrate, much less attract smart conservative women to get involved. Yet, moronic statements like the following are celebrated
on the right:
Kleefisch, a Right Women, Right Now co-chair, ticks off barriers some women face … "Another one," she says, "there are a lot of women who don't wake up in the morning, look at the mirror and say, 'Hey, sugar, you should run for office.' It doesn't happen. They often need to be asked or encouraged."
Kleefisch condescends to women, belittles them, by suggesting they need to be "encouraged."
Cap Times: Kleefisch was number two on the Daily Beast’s list of “9 Women Remaking the Right," … What did Kleefisch do to deserve the attention? “Kleefisch survived her battle with cancer and made it through the recall effort that followed Walker's union wars,” the article comments. “That toughness got the 38-year-old noticed by national conservative leaders, who invariably call the pro-life Kleefisch 'courageous'
Of course Kleefisch had government health care, thanks to lunatic hubby state Rep. Joel Kleefisch. It's just as courageous to deny that same coverage to every Wisconsinite.
As the Journal Sentinel reported in a recent article on the lieutenant governor, Kleefisch’s decision to run for the position in 2010 was encouraged and then enthusiastically supported by Milwaukee talk radio host Charlie Sykes … Joel Kleefisch says he bumped into Sykes, who told him: "I think a Walker-Kleefisch ticket would be great but I think you're the wrong Kleefisch."
“In demonstrating her strength as a standalone candidate in a low-profile race, Kleefisch has solidified her place as a star in Wisconsin politics,” wrote Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel columnist Christian Schneider in June.
Gee, I remember what my impression was when she ran with
Walker for Lt. Governor; see the picture I created here:
Yes, she truly was invisible.
A recent JSonline article fawned all over her:
Those who know her, though, say she is formidable. "From what I've seen of Becky, my money is on her," says Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican. "She is articulate, she is passionate. She understands the issues. I've heard her bounce from issue to issue in great detail explaining how they impact her state and the nation." Walker says, "I would match her skills against any lieutenant governor in the country." Her husband, state Rep. Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc), says, "Those who know her know that she's undeniably bright, quick-witted, a philosophically strong person who undoubtedly has a fantastic future ahead. I think only fools would underestimate her."
The war on women continues with the praise and adoration of someone so unqualified for her job.
Compared to Joel Kleefisch, she may be bright and quick-witted, that's possible. I wouldn't deny that. Otherwise ...
