She has a college degree, that seems to be all that the mouth breathing lefties care about.
That and she was elected twice by the good people of Wisconsin. So qualified or not, she is better than what the Democrats had to offer.

"How exactly is this person qualified to be Lt. Governor?" And you can say this with a straight face after voting for Barrett!! I guess it doesn't matter.

Look who she is married too. Isn't that qualification enough? And she also was a reporter on channel 12 for a short period of time, and did some advertising work too. Maybe she even went to modeling school. My, what other qualifications could we expect to have from a Lt. Governor. And she was elected to this post. Many people thought her qualifications were "spot on". Not once, but twice! Wow, that is truly amazing to me. I suppose scooter's cabinet is full of over achievers, i just haven't paid attention.

And yet you liberals had nothing better to offer.

I'm not a "liberal." I'm a fiscal conservative and Libertarian-leaning moderate who finds oneself being called a "liberal" for adhering to traditional ideas of social investment and political accountability.

The Democrats did offer an alternative, a candidate who not only had one degree, but several; a background in economics and law (J.D.), in additional to government experience at the national level. And the opportunity to retain as Lt. Governor an individual who had been lauded as being the most active and effective in recent state history. Alas.

But 98% of your posts put you left of hippie.

Bren,

I suspect that, unlike you, Rebecca Kleefisch would have put the question mark outside the quotation marks, since you are not quoting her asking that question.

Sure.

Bren can't help it. Every appearance of Rebecca Kleefisch brings back the hurt they experienced when the state rejected Barbara Lawton (well, actually she rejected herself, or the Dem party did, but let's blame the state because Dems never do anything unseemly).

Here's some Wikipedia information about Bren's girl crush...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Lawton

If you Google "Barbara Lawton", you'll get a response that may give some indication as to the story behind her decision to drop out of the 2010 gubernatorial race for "very personal reasons".

"The Democrats did offer an alternative, a candidate who not only had one degree, but several; a background in economics and law (J.D.), in additional to government experience at the national level. And the opportunity to retain as Lt. Governor an individual who had been lauded as being the most active and effective in recent state history. Alas."

When was the above (not) mentioned "candidate" running for Lt. Governor as an "alternative" to Rebecca Kleefisch?

All recent Lt. Governors of both parties have been lightweights, Ms. Kleefisch is no different.

One thing Ms. Kleefisch has accomplished though is win an election in her own right as Lt. Gov. during the recall election when she defeated Mahlon Mitchell. In a standard election, the Lt Gov. is part of a ticket, in a recall it is a separate choice on the ballot and she won that race straight up (granted with lots of top-of-the-ticket help).

Like it or hate it, Ms. Kleefisch was elected to her post by the people of Wisconsin and, as a result, will feel inclined to communicate with the people of Wisconsin.

You go...somewhere.

You went....somewhere...and got a snootful.

"Halairius?" This is promising...

@Bren

Again, you put the question mark within the quotation. I challenge, in the strongest possible terms, your qualifications (educational and intellectual).

Why, you thinking of voting for Bren?

Starting to detect a bit of ADD in the winger crowd.

Continuing to detect random hostility from the Left Wingers.

Do you ever actually make any positive contributions to the discussions, Keith? It seems that all you do around here is post insults, accusations and misinformation.

Tansandy - And why do you support ALEC with every ounce of your soul? Let's hear how we should let our corporations get together at fancy hotels and draft our laws, and have bootlicking legislators take them nearly verbatim and push them through state legislatures. What do you stand for, or should I ask, bend over for?

Dirk, I do not support ALEC with every ounce of my soul. You liberals are the ones that keep harping about them and Walker. And they are in almost every post! You worry about corporations running the state and getting together at fancy hotels. But you have no problem with letting the unions spend millions more trying to shape our state. And should I give you a list of all the fancy places the fat union cats meet at? Again selective outrage on the left.

And you people on the right keep bitching about unions, which support the much more of us, versus ALEC, which supports the much less of us, and certainly not many of you, though they enjoy the privilege of using all of you.

For those of you that question why comments are made about Keith posting hammered, check out this 1:07am doozy.

He does seem to post just after 1am A LOT!

"You poor deluded winger. Liberals are only interested in seeing those who benefited the most from the system to kick into the system, so that we have more of the system, a system they liberally use themselves. Only poor self-loathing fools buy that those within the selfish rich sell".

Read it as if Foster Brooks were speaking. It makes more sense that way.

You poor deluded winger. Liberals are only interested in seeing those who benefited the most from the system to kick into the system, so that we have more of the system, a system they liberally use themselves. Only poor self-loathing fools buy that those within the selfish rich sell.

Please explain how Phil benefitted from the "system". Do you mean hard work? Capitalism? Open Markets? What is the "system"? Should we take away the "system"? Please tell Keith.

And why should he pay 62% of his money BACK to the government?

You have all the sayings but no logic. Ever.

Keith may be due for an intervention.

If you dont believe in redistribution you are now selfish per Keith.

As was posted above: "And yet you liberals had nothing better to offer."

Greg you are right.

At least she wasn't asked to leave school. There is a strong suggested Walker was asked to leave.

Funny how so many seem to make that claim about Walker, but nobody ever seems to be able to show any actual proof that Walker was asked to leave school...

There is also a strong suggested(?) that Barbara Lawton left office due to a lesbian affair, but some of us don't do the gossip thing. We stay out of the mud.
