One bitter election controversy ends in Wisconsin this evening and another begins, as Wisconsin voters stream into the polls to vote on whether to recall Governor Scott Walker in a showdown observers say will determine the shape of this November’s presidential election.
Governor Walker, a Republican who defeated Democrat Tom Barrett in 2010, faces a recall after enacting a series of effective but unpopular financial reforms that limit public sector collective bargaining. The reforms sparked a union-led backlash that resulted in the possibility he will leave office after eighteen months.
Wisconsin’s pro-life, pro-family leaders say if Walker loses to Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, the result would be calamitous.
“Governor Walker has already signed into law several pro-life bills during his short, two-year tenure in office,” Julaine Appling, president of Wisconsin Family Action, told LifeSiteNews.com.” He says he is 100 percent pro-life, and he that he has certainly done things so far that show he is truly 100 percent pro-life. To lose him would mean quite a setback for the pro-life movement in Wisconsin.”

I prefer the way Vlad negotiated. Why Walker is offering an olive branch, or a beer and brats, to public enemies, unrepentant ones at that, is beyond me. Only when complete capitulation is at hand can mercy be shown. Much like the call to public forgiveness, that must come with a public request. Forgiveness without a request for it is... silly, save with God and in one's heart, for spiritual reasons... not public forgiveness.
The Democrats in that state have been nothing but vile enemies of sanity and goodness, the will of the people, and this governor, in every imaginable way. I hope he has very good security if they actually visit.
