It's
been 10 months since I have been able to blog. I had to suspend my
blogging for professional reasons: I was very involved with the
Republican Party and it's efforts to thwart the recall of my friend
and schoolmate Governor Scott Walker. The effort was arduous and
unnecessary but in the end, proved to bare much fruit.
This
long campaign was, in the end, the best thing that could have
happened to this state and to the nation. Beating back the blue
fisted thugs of the unions and their ilk from all over the nation was
very difficult. No matter what they say (and they say a lot that
bares no resemblance to the truth) the money reportedly spent from
both sides was nearly even. The money you don't see is the amounts
spent putting out of state people up in temporary housing so they
could vote against the Governor. You only have to prove residency for
30 days and the new law voter ID law has been taken to court and was
suspended for this election.
One
thing rings true and there is no dispute on this: Governor Walker is
now a force in a long line of fresh new faces ready to take on the
liberal policies and democratic party for decades to come. Scott is
poised to become the new face of reform that will change the way
America works and how it's economy will be regulated in the future.
You will see him and others such as Paul Ryan , Chris Christy and
many many more who are young, vibrant and ready to take on and not
back down from the hard choices we must make to change the tax code,
bring the deficit down, and restore confidence in our country.
You
have not heard the last from Wisconsin. I told you years ago that
this was ground zero for the new conservative movement of the GOP and
I was not wrong. Scott Walker is a force now to be dealt with. He has
erased a 3.6 Billion dollar deficit from Wisconsin's budget and shown
the nation he can turn things around when you explain why it needs to
be done and how to do it.
Scott is a humble man. You watch now and see how humble he makes the democratic party, moving forward.
