Republicans Don’t Know What They Wished For

Tweet

I was surprised to read that Sen. Judy Robson was ousted by her fellow democrats as majority leader. People can say what they want, but I took the cue a long time ago from both of the newspapers in Janesville. Robson was/is regularly pummeled by them like no other politician, except for maybe Feingold, but the catch is – these are fiercely GOP propagandist brochures masquerading as newspapers. Getting dissed by them is a “badge of honor.”

The Messenger for instance would print a non-combative article by Robson informing constituents of her direction, views and policies only to be literally trashed in their editorial the same day! The Gazette, well what can be said. They think she is too liberal and not a leader, etc., etc. I can understand others in the state reading this and saying “so what?” Who really cares what those newspapers say? I agree, but nearly all newspapers including these two, complain often about the partisan bickering, about the need for politicians to reach out across party lines and negotiate for the good of the people. Judy Robson is just that person – they couldn't stand her.

Now I’m also under the impression that if we had a different Senate majority leader, we would still be at an impasse on the state budget. That this would be good for the state. Somehow I agree.But now I would admit and hope that the new direction chosen is different. That the partisan “bickering” is over and we can now look forward to what Republicans wanted to do all along anyways. Something the respectful, dedicated and intelligent Robson refused to participate in.

Lets get ready to rummmm-ble.
