| #9 Milwaukee County and Dane County are the main 'liberal' counties in Wisconsin. A couple more in the Fox Valley (Fond Du Lac, Appleton and Green Bay areas) and the area around La Crosse 'trend-left'. Milwaukee actually had a true Socialist government for a good portion of the first half of the 20th century Unfortunately, these are also the main population centers for the state. As for Sheriff Clarke (he DOES appear with a 'D' by his name), not all democrats in Milwaukee county (or other more urban and 'D' areas in the state) are 'entitlement-driven'. Many work in the heavy machinery, paper mills, manufacturing and industrial markets. Hard working, decent folks and not really keen on handing their communities over to the criminals and loons. As for Madison, Wisconsin itself, Lee Dreyfus, a former Governor of Wisconsin, stated “Madison is 30 square miles surrounded by reality.” It's since grown a lot (to 78~ square miles) and not much has changed. |

| #8 Dane county has a few wildly outnumbered pockets of non-Marxists, especially in the outlying cities. I don't know Milwaukee well enough to say. |

| #7 why would you disparage Warthogs by comparison to Sharpton? |

| #6 Sheriff Clark is one impressive individual. Sharp-ton is an oily, insipid Warthog. |

| #5 Every time I seen Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, he says something that is endearing. There must be pockets of conservatism in Wisconsin. Milwaukee County must be very different than the Dane County (Madison, Wisconsin). Wisconsin, has historically been progressive in its politics. Are the political winds changing up there? |

| #4 Don't you have to leave something before you can go back to it? |

| #3 Sharpton has gone back to the gutter he came from; i.e. Democratic Party, MSNBC, CNN, etc. |

| #2 But ... Sherriff Dave seems to be a person of color. So... he can't be a racist, right? Just an Uncle Tom, or maybe an Oreo. |

| #1 Sheriff Dave ~ Tax time is rolling around. If you've not already found one, I'd recommend finding the best CPA in Milwaukee. |
