Flashback: Scathing New Ad Uses Maddow and Michael Moore to Remind How Important Recall Election Was

The liberal mantra coming after the Wis. recall election is likely to be that it isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things and that it has little to no implication for the fall election. But that’s not how they were treating it months ago.
The group American Future Fund has come out with a scathing and telling ad showing how important liberals such as Rachel Maddow, Michael Moore, and Russ Feingold thought the election was before Tuesday’s results. It cleverly opens with the question, “Do you recall?”
To be fair, the reaction you see from the White House in the video wasn’t from Tuesday night. But it is safe to say that once things started looking bleak for Democrats in the race, the White House distanced itself. And that‘s why it’s easy to predict what the spin will be in the aftermath.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 9:32amWas interesting watching the White House run away from Barrett . He was the latest one to go under the bus ! ( watch out Bill as you may be next ! ) What should Barrett have expected from this administration of cowards who got into the White House by voting “ present ” on the issues and by fooling independents with the real ‘ change’ they had planned !

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 10:02amProbably ran away because they didn’t want anyone with a common sense brain put facts in a row and connect the dots. Obama went to NJ, Chris Christie won. Obama went to MA, Scott Brown won. How many companies have Obama and Biden gone to and crowed about, only to have the company go bankrupt shortly thereafter?

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 3:20pmI think if the establishment republicans think based upon the results in Wisconsin, they have it in the bag, big mistake.
Walker survived the recall because he said what he was going to do and then did it; He didn’t back down, he didn’t look to compromise his values, he simply said what he meant and meant what he said (an elephant’s faithful 100% percent, sorry, lol.)
If you are saying one thing and doing another, you will find that some of the stiffest opposition will be coming from your own “side”. Contrary to what most politicians believe, the people are not stupid, they just weren’t paying attention. That has changed, and they better stop writing checks their morals can’t cash.

God bless you. It’s going to be very hard for Romney to win. There are lot of people on the political Right who don’t want to support him. We’re sick of choosing the lesser evil.
Even with everything at stake, my gut tells me he’s actually more dangerous.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 12:29pmEven though Walker won they should investigate voting anomalies for fraud. Every time voter fraud is brought up, the left says ‘show proof’. I think doing a cursory inspection of the voting process here WILL show that fraudulent votes were cast, especially in Madison.
I think election day voter registration had masked a lot of fraud.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 12:47pmI watched a report on election night in Wisconsin and the two lefties were crowing about the fact that in a few areas that were heavily Democrat that the turnout was over 100%. As much as 119% in one district. If that ain’t an anomaly please point one out to me. I want to see it.

Agree with you completely. Investigate and “nip-it-at-the-bud” before Nov 2K12. However, as we well know, when you put a “stop-gap” in an area, the “water-leak” will find another opening. Democrates’ “work-is-never-done”. As a conservative, it is SO EASY to be one. Why? Simple, I pray for Life,Liberty & the pursuit of Happiness for all Americans and believe in THE INDIVIDUAL. Government plays a role to protect us from all our enemies foreign & domestic and oversee that The Constitution is followed by all America citizens “including-ALL-politicians”. I am a BIG BELIEVER in State’s Rights!!! Hmmmm and the founders thought that too….Hmmmm.

Posted on June 6, 2012 at 2:51pmThey were prepared, but the count had to be closer than what it was. It’s hard to come up with a couple hundred thousand “found” ballots in a car trunk, but a couple thousand is doable. Also when Barret was slapped, the Dem operative didn’t want him to concede since they had the fix going on in the backroom and he blew it by conceding too early!
