From Ann Althouse:
…as the protest drags on and protesters are sleep-deprived and frustrated and tired of nothing happening but standing around chanting and listening to drum-beating for hours on end, logic and proportion is flopping away. There was some serious aggression yesterday.
You saw Meade’s video where 2 over-aggressive protesters interrogated a couple of nice ladies who drove into Madison just to stand quietly, in the sea of Walker-haters, and hold their pro-Walker signs. In the video, you can hear that the 2 protesters are not making that much sense, and when Meade tries to mediate — meadeate — for them, other protesters in the area close in on Meade.
There’s very tense confrontation, and it flips into paranoia and incoherence…
One does begin to wonder – how does it end? How can the Democrats get out of this mess they’ve landed themselves in? No matter how you slice it, the GOP holds the actual power in the State of Wisconsin – that cannot change before November of 2012, and I don’t think these people would be able to keep it up quite that long.
Contrast the two groups. Democrats show up day after day after day and keep telling themselves the same things over and over and over again. Republicans showed up for one day, had a blast, let their guys know they’ve got their backs, and then went home. Our troops are still fresh for the fight and if the GOP needs some more bucking up, it can happen next weekend. Its got to get a bit tiresome to keep eating pizza and sleeping on the floor…though, then again, maybe that is how most Democrats live?
At any rate, this has been endlessly entertaining and the best part of it is that we win, no matter what. You see, the GOP actually won the election and thus holds all the power in Wisconsin – Democrats can bang the drum all they want, but eventually at least one Fleebagger will have to come home, and then its game over.
