I pray that those two "Fleebaggers" lose in the Recall Election today in Wisconsin, it'll be another nail in the coffin to the Public Sector Unions. Please let them lose!! If you're a Republican in Wisconsin, go vote!! If you're a Democrat in Wisconsin, it's a sunny day, go to the beach, go to the bar, stay in bed, you don't need to vote the Election is already settled!! Is there a beach in Wisconsin? If not, there's a nice pool at the Hotel in Illinois, that those Democrats fled to back in February, go there, they said it's a nice pool!!
