The Rude Pundit - Wisconsin: Is This What Democracy Looks Like?



You gotta love that picture. It's got Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barret on line in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, waiting with what appear to be average people (or clever working class-looking plants) to vote in the recall election of Governor Scott "Inbred Eyes" Walker.

The question in the title of this post is simple and infuriating: If Scott Walker wins, what it will show is that democracy can be bought.



And while we idealize our political system as being the image above, a Walker victory will demonstrate, quite clearly, that it is something perversely different.
