Gosh, we could have a ten part series on the RPW, Robin Vos and their zombie crowd if we wanted to.
I want to first start off with this very easy to understand and clear message for those who are having a hard time following the path as to which they are helping to propagate. Some of you who follow this sub for reasons only to spin more webs of hatred and discord through gossiping tongues and bitterness, will even be able to understand.
I was having a conversation with someone recently and the topic of me being labeled a radical came up. I said “yes, being a radical today means that you simply have a problem with dishonest elections and killing children.” That’s what makes you a radical. Standing up for transparent elections and the lives of children is radical. Those are the two main issues that have become a NON unifying theme.
Case in point the Vos candidate pushing machine with apparently a faucet of money to the tune of $408,000 making statements like this on their Facebook page about “radicals” who love their country. Moms, dads, veterans, people who work hard every day to fight to feed their families, living paycheck to paycheck and because they don’t have a faucet of never ending money, they’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. These “radicals” are what birth into people having a fire to go run against a machine to try to believe again in a system that has for far too long made them feel abandoned. To go and effect change so other families don’t have to live under the same pressures that they’re feeling. Shame on those selfless “radicals.”
The Republican Party has convinced once staunch pro lifers and staunch election integrity enthusiasts that they don’t need to be so rigid on these topics. That maybe because, as one gentleman put it to me, the left has moved so far left, that the right feels the need to move left in order to make sense to people. Ok, I can see that position. But seeing a position doesn’t mean it’s the right position.
And that in and of itself is a lie by the party. As Lindee Brill has stated multiple times on the campaign trail, as well as in the debate, “diluting the party’s stances” doesn’t solve anything.
No nation has ever won a war by concession. And compliant prisoners of war in Nazi Germany had just as much of a chance of being killed by their captors as the non compliant ones. Just because they obeyed their oppressors didn’t mean they were found in good graces by them. And historically speaking - they were offed just as much as the ones who didn’t obey. I think you get that point.
Seeing certain people go along with and support obvious Robin Vos paid for candidates - after spending years butting heads with cronies who forced them to wear masks and lose their jobs, to me, just makes zero sense. To completely change your moral compass in order to just get along with the machine in the name of what they define as unity is difficult to understand. What I CAN understand is the people at the top like Robin Vos, who feel nothing and do everything to protect their own skin, trust me, don’t give a damn about your existence because once God forbid, you’re gone, they will find another brainwashed soul to use. My question to you is why this hill? Why die on this hill for someone who stands to gain everything while you continue to gain - for lack of a better word - nothing. Are you circling the wagons just because it seems like the easiest thing to do? Because you’re being told to do it? Because it’s the wider of two roads? For survival? Why? You literally stand to gain nothing but false feelings of victory on selection night…go home…go to sleep…and wake up the next morning getting more waves of dilution crushing you and your future generations to come. Because the hill you chose to die on was for empty suits padding their silhouettes with more riches while making you scrape at the bottom - AGAIN.
Which brings me to my next point.
The fact that there have been such obvious moves by Vos and Vos supporting swamp candidates and incumbents via “independent” dark money funds with marketing companies without addresses, using PO Boxes in Louisville, KY, and that DOESNT make voters 100% question the validity of not only the false claims against the challenger candidates in these races state wide, blows my mind.
What blows my mind even further is that it doesn’t seem to me that these “community organizers” have the capability to even ask themselves the question - “if the RPW and Vos want unity so badly, and we want to all work together so badly, why are they spending hundreds of thousands of dollars purposefully attacking the CHARACTER of other republicans?” Or what’s worse, these folks KNOW the truth yet continue to go along with the untruth out of pride because they can’t humble themselves about possibly being wrong.
So I ask you all - why IS that acceptable to you folks who consistently defend obvious shady and bad behavior in your “leaders?”
Have any of you asked yourselves “why are they falsely attacking character and NOT attacking these candidates on policy and position?”
Is this what the RPW, Vos and the like - and quite frankly, the supporters of Vos, his candidates and his mission of “unity” stand for? Destroying the character of other republicans? There are a few disgruntled folks who run around crying about every little thing and quite honestly it’s hard to watch, but the truth of the matter is, these are the same folks who out of one side of their mouths say Vos is no good - and then turn around and support Vos candidates who take Vos money - like Brian Hilbelink. It’s laughable at best.
I’m just having a hard time understanding the mindset.
What we need to realize is that if the party of Lincoln and Reagan, the grand old party, which has been in charge in the legislature for over a decade now in the majority, handles the purse strings - then maybe it’s time to stop pointing a finger at just the lousy governor we have and also point a finger at the lackluster R’s in the room.
I ask you - if the party that is supposed to be for free enterprise, less spending and LESS GOVERNMENT has been in charge for so long, why has the cost of living continued to increase while the quality of living has continued to decrease in the state of Wisconsin?
It’s a viable question to ask.
Unity?
In the eyes of Vos, the RPW, its chosen candidates and some of their louder supporters, the idea of unity is actually just compliance.
What it really is, is just unification around candidates that will insulate a man with a 14% approval rating by forming a wall of fear based protection, driven by fear mongering and falsely based character assassination by RPW funded law firms and funds perpetrating those lies. That’s what I have such a hard time figuring. Some of these folks, I know. Fought alongside. Got active with against the same cronies that they now support. What happened?
Whatever did happen along the way, I’ll tell you, feelings aside, It’s time to get that fire back to fight the common enemy here and send new blood to Madison in the form of “radical” we the people candidates. That’s the way change will start to take effect. Cronies support cronies. Cronies don’t look out for people. They look out for themselves. That’s why the answer to the question I posed above about why have things gotten worse with the majority of R’s that we have in Madison is so hard to handle. People want to believe that their leaders have their best interest at heart and when faced with a painful truth, they take on the mindset of the obedient POW. And that’s sad to watch.
It’s time to unify, folks. But it’s time to unify around the good, folks. Quit allowing the insulation to remain around the bad, saying that it’s good. Stop pretending. Go deeper than the surface. When you dig just a little bit you start having no choice but to ask questions.
The “granny clothed wolf” has been showing its ears, nose, claws and teeth to you for far too long.
It’s time for that play to end.
If this is a radical position, well, I guess we are further gone than originally thought. I would like to believe we are a salvageable and dominant force for good still. What side of that fight do you want to be on? I know where I stand.
I wish more of you would join me. I wish more of you would join the 26 candidates out there fighting not for their lives, but fighting for yours. Your kids. Your grandkids. That’s what I wish.
Like I said - if that’s radical, well so be it.
James, I’m not in Wisconsin, but in Oregon, and the battle is so similar. Thank you for taking a stand for what’s right. It’s never up to someone else what we must do. And in the end only One is getting the glory. I love your focus.
James, I have a number of friends in SE WI (though I’m in IL) who would (and have) willing fought these past several years for the party’s America first values. After attending the Republican election integrity meeting in Waukesha last month (with Lara Trump and Michael Whatley speaking), the goal seems to be not an abandonment of the pro-life values of the party but a down playing of the focus there. They are trying to capture a wider number of disenfranchised voters from the middle/left by spotlighting the issues less contentious: closed borders, energy independence and lower inflation, and law and order. The strategy includes an effort to “SwamptheVote” and recruit poll watchers to mobilize and expose any clear issues. They seem to feel the priority is getting Trump back in office. But the feckless party led by Vos (and the broken electoral process in WI) leaves me less than hopeful about that approach if we don’t support those strong down ballot candidates that will back Trump and truly represent us.
Since we are now less than 100 days from that day, we really do need all hands on deck to rally the troops in local races that matter.
Do you have a list of those candidates Vos and the machine would oppose (and the districts they are in)? I watched the grassroots rise up here in Lake county IL and flip our entire school board in 2022 to “we the people” candidates because we got loud and hit the pavement! The “machine” in IL came out with a smear campaign against them that threatened to upend them but it made a few of us fight harder to expose them! I think this is the way. (They won by a landslide where we canvassed and called!)
