I didn’t want to write anything in between my last posts and this event (or something else that would have been relevent to this issue) because I didn’t want to “muddy the waters”, not that anyone would have taken my word as any great source of, well, anything of substance, I guess.
Via the Journal Sentinal:
Madison - Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg on Tuesday conceded the state Supreme Court race to Justice David Prosser, ending a contentious campaign that culminated in a rare statewide recount.
The primary ramification of this event is simple. It means that all the allegations of shady happenings that may have occured within the election or its subsequent recount are false.
If there were any chance of using this matter in any fashion to “kill the Bill“, it would have been done, and since we see that that will not be the case (at least as far as this election was concerned) then we must conclude that nothing illegal happened. Did Ms. Kathy Nickolaus make a huge mistake that called the legitimacy of the whole process into question? Yes, she did. However, since no one is calling seriously (as defined in my last post) for an investigation, and since the deadline for such has now ended officially as of Tuesday, the 31st of May, then it must be concluded that it was a legitimate mistake and not the insidious machinations of the embattled local Republican Party.
Given the enormity of the entire case in Wisconsin, I challenge anyone to propose why either the local Democrats, the national Democratic Party, or the Unions would not use any evidence of wrongdoing to challenge the outcome of the election at this time. Perhaps they would consider their money better spent elsewhere? Perhaps they simply think that they wouldn’t win? Perhaps they view the whole process to be so corrupt that they have adopted a stance of “Why bother?”
Perhaps.
But I don’t think so. The fact is that too much money, prestige, time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears has been spent in this whole Wisconsin matter to simply let any chance go unused or unexploited.
Given the depth of the color blue in Madison, Wisconsin, I don’t think that “Why Bother?” fits into the picture. The only explanation I might be willing to entertain is the one about spending their money somewhere else. However, even this rings very false to me as I don’t believe for one second that if there were any remote outlier of a possibility for an embarassing blow to the local and national Republicans, that it would be ignored and discarded.
Do you?
This chapter is over. Although we have seen mistakes made (Nickolaus, we’re looking at you), no actual intentional fraud occured. I fear still that in another decade or so, long past the time when the facts are plain enough for any to see and evaluate, the quiet whispers of bitter Leftists will begin to haunt the matter with mutterings of that which has been said so many times of so many losses:
“The truth is, we really won, but ‘They’ stole it from us…”
Care to disagree?
