Democrat vs. Wife Beater: Wisconsin RECALL Elections Start Tomorrow

[Segami]

:smoke: :smoke:



Wisconsin’s first recall election is here.


First up to bat, we have incumbent Democratic state Senator Dave Hansen from Green Bay against Republican challenger David VanderLeest. Hansen, whose only supposed flaw was leaving the state in the manner of Abe Lincoln to slow down the deathblow to collective bargaining which was inserted into the Republicans “budget bill” and later passed as a non-budgetary item (or voided and then passed via conservative ALEC inspired judicial activism) faces off against the still-under-investigation for an unknown issue perfect ALEC puppet, David VanderLeest.



VanderLeest offers his district the added bonus of being a wife beater. He has a history of legal troubles, and in 2006 he was convicted of two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct. In 2007, as part of a plea deal, “VanderLeest avoided a felony charge of intimidating a witness and misdemeanor battery and bail-jumping charges. VanderLeest entered an Alford plea, which means he maintained his innocence but acknowledged there was enough evidence to convict him.” The judge warned VanderLeest that he had “dodged a bullet” on that felony charge.



VanderLeest was arrested for allegations of domestic abuse on at least two other occasions and once pulled out a chunk of his ex-wife’s hair and threw her onto the kitchen floor to stop her from calling the police. Then there is another round of charges involving battery from 2009 that were dropped.



In case you’re not yet sold on why you should vote, let’s take a brief walk through the David’s rotting garden of values as written about on PoliticusUSA earlier:



On David’s Facebook Page, he claims to be a pro-Israel Christian Tea Partier, member of the NRA, and credits himself with helping to restart the Republican Party of Brown County and also, “expose ACORN”. ACORN, as you probably recall, was never actually found guilty of anything, unlike David VanderLeest.
