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?

why would you disparage Warthogs by comparison to Sharpton?

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.

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.

[FoxNews] Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said President Obama has already successfully secured the U.S. border, and objected to the tone of a House border security bill she said militarizes the country.
Nobody is getting in that she disapproves of.
"The president has spent $108 billion on border security, and we have been successful," Jackson Lee said in a Homeland Security committee markup Wednesday. "Oh we've had our moments, but we have been successful."
Jackson Lee brushed off the recent flood of unaccompanied children on the southern border. "I know we had a disagreement," she said, referring to Republican critics who blamed Obamaâs policies for the flood of immigrants.
See?
After tens of thousands of Central American children and teens crossed the border illegally last summer, House Speaker John Boehner wrote a letter to Obama saying his policies were directly responsible for the surge, because they led the immigrants to believe they could stay.

The president has spent $108 billion on border security, and we have been successful
And we've spent over 7 trillion on Great Society programs to end poverty in America and we have been successful*. Time to end the programs.
* when you have over 10 million illegals streaming into the country, you have solved the poverty problem. You may have created a dependency problem or created a patron-client problem, but poverty is not the issue.

As right hand on hip flapped akimbo,
Her left gripped a foie-gras-on-Bimbo.
Shot of rum on her brow,
To the drum, Sheila plowed
Through the sawdust and bellowed out, "Limbo!"

Off topic but I was watching Kill Bill Volume 2 the other day and in the scene where Bill was making a sandwich in his casa down Mexico way I noticed he was using Bimbo bread.

She [Jackson] is an embarrassment to Texas and the U.S.A. There is a proposal for immigrants to pass a civics test about our government, its workings and our history. I don't think this woman could pass it.

Money was spent on the problem, how could the border not be secure? We'll ask the members of the House responsible for the project when their new yachts return from the sojourn to the Med.
[The Telegraph] Barack Obama was asked about his 'first wife' by a woman who took a bath in cereal.
The White House did something a little different today. Rather inviting traditional journalists to grill President Barack Obama, they brought in three so-called YouTube creators - people who have built up a fan base of millions with their social media channels - to put questions to the leader of the free world. Something different? Media distractions are nothing new or different for this regime.
In keeping with similar initiatives in 2013 and 2004, the bill would give suffrage to non-citizen D.C. residents who "have permanent residency status." No.
Grosso cited U.S. Census Bureau figures from 2012 approximating that over 90 percent of the 53,975 foreign-born, non-naturalized U.S. citizens in the District are 18 years of age or older, to weight down with seriousness his pronouncement that "these are taxpayers who should have the opportunity to have their voices heard in local elections." Nose of camel.

Taxi driver special interest group? Nannies and gardeners to the apparatchik wealthy interest group? And DC want's the equivalent of statehood representation. Do like they did to the original portion in Virginia, return all the non-federal land to the state. Let Maryland have the fun*. The original intent was to protect the nascent federal government form undue influence of the larger state governments. That's hardly an issue these days.
* it's not like there'll be any discernible change in the overall level of corruption and incompetence on either party's side.
Let's find a REPUBLICAN Hispanic US citizen and run him for Major in DC...have him make all of his speeches in Spanish, all of his political adds in Spanish and if he can get the illegal vote, wouldn't the city council meetings be fun?

Yes, get a Soros-Steyer type to fund a front to legalize the PRI in some places like Alta (not Baja) California just to watch the Donks panic as it spreads.

Another excellent reason DC should never attain statehood.

I don't have a problem with "statehood." The State of Maryland takes a piece. The State of Virginia takes a piece. There, the ultimate re-Districting. Problem solved.
Nah, I don't wonder why. The Democrats keep pushing the boundaries of voting. First, Slick Willie came up with the motor-voter law which allowed people with a driver's license to vote. The Donks have been screaming about the voter identification/verification laws the Pubs are putting in place state-by-state. Now, the Donks have pulled all the stops out and they want illegals to vote in our elections. It would guarantee a large block of new voters who would vote Democrat for decades to come. It would also be a quick path to national suicide.

An urban political insurgency is the ultimate goal. US Field Manual 3-24: “An insurgency is the organized use of subversion and violence to seize, nullify, or challenge political control of a region.”

OWG NAU = North American Union is supposed to start next month February 2015, wid Trans-Pac + Trans-Atlantic Partnerships later in the summer.
Unfortunately our Anti-Unitarian Unitarian Socialist GOP-DEM Establishment in Washington shows no inkling to change anything short of meaningless, PCorrect-Deniable Media-Public rhetoric.
The above means that the US Govt under NAU will likely proceed wid inviting Milyuhns-n-Tilyuhns of foreign workers into CONUS-NORAM, + whom will be able to vote + collect Any-n-All forms of Federal-State public assistance, ... ...@etc.
AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, IN THE 21ST CENTURY = ERA OF OWG GLOBALISM, THE "AMERICAN/AMERIKAN DREAM" IS NOW THE "NORTH AMERICAN/AMERIKAN DREAM" WID MEXICO, CANADA, + POSSIBLY GREENLAND [Iceland? new = UK?] NOW SHARING RESPONSIBILITY FOR US + NORAM SECURITY-N-PROSPERITY, ETC. OR IN THE ALTERN THE LACK OF SAME.
Lest we fergit, OBAMA'S "BIRTH CERTICATE CONTROVERSY" = all thing equal, twas ultimately about America in future being led by a NON/ANTI-AMERICAN PERSONAGE.

[Rooters] - New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was charged on Thursday with five criminal counts stemming from a lengthy corruption investigation, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.
The political powerbroker, in the Assembly since 1977 and its most influential Democrat as speaker since 1994, was accused of fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and other charges in using his "power and influence" to obtain "millions" in bribes and kickbacks, the criminal complaint said. The law firms of Weitz & Luxenberg and Goldberg & Iryami joined NY State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in saying 'there's nothing to be found here.'
In 2005, ten fokken long years ago, Irish commentator Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel lambasted Silver for blocking legislation that would mandate restrictions on democrats child molesters after their sentences are finished (including possibly forcing them to become permanent residents in psychiatric wards).

If the FBI under a democratic scumbag attorney general arrests a Democratic scumbag politician in New York, it has to be very bad to the point of being embarrassing.
And if the Governor and the State Attorney General are giving the Seabee Salute on this, then they are in it up to their necks and possibly on the take as well.

"Bernard Madoff had a close connection to Rapfogel and Sheldon Silver through his younger brother Peter Madoff, his firm’s compliance officer who is now serving a 10-year sentence for fraud. According to our sources, Peter Madoff, Sheldon Silver, and Rapfogel were all good friends through their association with the Bialystok Synagogue."
Friends indeed! Rapfogel's wife, Judy, is/was Silver’s longtime chief of staff. None of it surprising, just interesting timing for DoJ.

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver could hold on to power despite arrest.
Stunned Assembly Democrats must now decide which is the lesser of two evils: sticking with a politically damaged speaker or turning over upcoming budget talks to a rookie.

Ok -- I left the last one of 130 posted in about five minutes, 10:43-10:48 a.m. ET. Rantburgers, what can you tell us about the poster, who is most definitely not me?
I mean, why I would want to become a twenty year old girl with bad skin, yellow teeth, shapeless brows, and unwashed hair, appearing in public in a sweatsuit advertising nothing I would care to associate with, just to demonstrate fear of men, need not be asked. Nor would I ever be so silly as to demonstrate ignorance of the high fashion sluttiness that typifies Saudi women, at least, under their black bags. Mr. Wife was shocked, the first time he left Saudi airspace and the bags came off -- not the attire of women who want men to admire their minds and purity of spirit. Still, get the other women to believe that nonsense, and they'll be considerably less competition.

I suspect that sad little Saudi, Justice, just learnt a new trick, Ebbang Uluque6305. His last one, several years ago, was mass spamming a single post over a brief period of time.

First came the story about New Mexico Sheriff Tommy Rodella and now this one about NY Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. Both Rodella and Silver happen to be Democrats. What is interesting is that these charges were prosecuted by the DOJ. Is DOJ suddenly getting religion and upholding the law since Holder is on his way out?
#17
Could be John. Yes, career leaders at the FBI and DoJ may be preparing the battlefield for a post-Champ/post-Holder reality. No sense coming down on the bad side of a new Congress and a new administration on day one. Another motivating factor MAY be an intentional outing of the Clinton Foundation and all it's nefarious connections. I doubt career employees at the Bureau or DoJ are keen on the Hildebeest becoming their new boss.
#18
Please keep in mind that Mr. Silver is more or less aligned with Governor Cuomo. The Guv'nor himself is facing problems of his own; this certainly won't help.
