It is indeed a time in our human culture calender to be Merry, Happy and give to those on our lists, worthy or not, presents - in the spirit of Christmas. Worthiness is secondary. We give with open heart. Unfortunately, in our human culture there are also those who prey on the goodness of the spirit of Christmas. To wit: Scott Walker and his merry band of Grinches who continue to fall from grace.
Merry Christmas ya`all.
Lately as many of us have heard through word of mouth, read in the media or watched on television as the Republican`s designated Super Star Scott Walker travels around the country speaking to his deep-pockets base on his oposition to same day registration on election days. I find that absolutely offensive due to news about his double standards. That has prompted me to write this diary - something that I deliberately avoid. But as you will see I have reason to be offended.
If you know the history of the ongoing John Doe investigation into the Scott Walker`s pitiful Administration and his political minions right here in what was my beautiful and peaceful state of Wisconsin and in particular Milwaukee, then I will skip writing on the cronies and lapdogs that have already fallen to criminal or misdemeanor convictions in this state`s political arena. All political that I dare to approach today.
I know, I know, that I am being a tad too harsh on our beloved State of Wisconsin. It is not about you homies. Its about this idiot wannabee Monarch. This state is still beautiful despite of Walker, evidenced by the voter turnout recently.
The latest casualty resulting from the John Doe Investigation is seen here on this image. It is none other than Former Walker aide hauled to prison frog-leaping after sentencing on his way to Waupun prison, or shall we say, a place where Scotties will ultimate go to rest these harsh Winter months ahead. http://m.jsonline.com/...
Now where was I?. Oh yeah, I am offended because Scott Walker is going around the whole freaking country spewing his opposition to same day voter registrations because according to him, the poll workers will be overworked and might get a bit tired.
Well, our Fox News, ugh strike that. Our Milwaukee Sentinel Journal newspaper report on the same day that they found cojones to show us the image of the leap-frogging Kevin Kavanaugh being led away to prison in image above -- they printed and published:
This report
Despite view on same-day registration, Walker took son to sign up on primary day.
Despite Gov. Scott Walker’s opposition to same-day voter registration, he accompanied his college-age son to a Wauwatosa polling place to register and vote the same day as the GOP Senate primary in August, records show and the governor’s office confirmed.
So I guess that this new revelation should be a qualifier to trigger a WTF?
It is not a novelty to anyone that Scott Walker joins a Republican led assault on the rights of citizen of this country to vote. Well let`s make that urban voters and minorites who tend to vote Democratic. To claim that poll workers are in agreement with him on eliminating same day registration is utter bullshit, as is found by Lanore Rusch, 75, a Wausau resident. "We have no problem whatsoever. We aren't overworked. ... For Walker to say that the people who are doing the registration can't keep up is just foolish. He should come down and watch once in awhile."
Kevin Rusch, Lanore's 53-year-old son who has worked at the polls in Wausau for the last year and a half, was more blunt in his assessment of Walker's claim: "That's utter bullshit. I don't know who he's talking to."
So yeah, now Scott Walker is desperately trying to pretend that eliminating same day voter registration is not on his political radar knowing what lies ahead for the Republican party today and into the future. While he waves his punky white flag his minions are working on legislation to do just that.
Yes it is sad to live in Wisconsin today if you are a working person who votes diligently
exercising your right each election cycle with a clear conscious, a right that "had" been guaranteed to you by the U.S. Constitution but now Scott Walker wants to take that right away from you -- is indeed something that makes a man like me who has been soured for a long time on politics for these same reasons, want to scream.
I admit, that what I write here today is but a piece of this ongoing controversy that I at one time or another get into in the local media. But the pieces added up to the point of
becoming enraged at the stupid spectacle that Kevin Kavanaugh represents in the image I posted above. Here is a man who was a Scott Walker hench man, so to speak. A man
who robbed from those brave warriors who are now war battered and broken from standing on the wall guarding while I slept. Men and women who stand guard while we sleep, veterans who fought for our right to vote and a right to live unafraid from people like the Scott Walker minions who are slowly but surely are being taken down by their own mistakes. Kavanaugh was under Scott Walker`s watch and command.
Yes, it is indeed uncomfortable to be a Wisconsinite at this time of year. A time when we should all be Merry and Happy. I know I am not as long as I continue in a political mode. If I were younger, at least this is what I think as I write this. I would say to myself, "hit the road Jack!"..But I`m not. I`m stuck here with you.
Excuse me, I need a drink. I think I`ll make it a double.
To those who do not live in Wisconsin. You are very lucky in terms of lawlessness in those you trusted to carry your state`s businesses, being political or otherwise.
In closing I want to convey to you the reader especially, a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year for you and your family.
