I will make a prediction at the outset of this post, the first column of several this week about the Democratic National Convention that begins Monday in the Windy City. The television ratings will far exceed those garnered by Republicans at their Milwaukee convention.
Many volunteer poll workers are political junkies, so this random selection drags people into the process who are casual voters and less passionate about the political parties, their platforms and candidates. Try rigging an election when half of the people in the room are only there because they faced prosecution if they didn’t show up.
Black conservatives often do more harm than good.
You have to admit, it’s bizarre how serving honorably in the military can somehow become a liability when you’re running for public office.
It ought to be apparent to all that presidential hopeful, Kamala Harris, doesn’t know the first thing about economics.
Van Orden can’t control himself or deliver for the 3rd CD. Still no farm bill or help for small dairy farmers. Unlike Van Orden, Cooke will be ready on day one. Vote Cooke for change and results.
Here in the heartland, mental health is in its rawest form, hidden because of the way we refuse to talk about it — affecting the country in untold ways.
The low-cost, high-quality university education provided by the most highly educated professors who have been dedicated to classroom performance is disappearing from the Wisconsin landscape. If we were really concerned about quality and affordability, we would invest in these former two-year campuses rather than shedding them.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, give their takes on the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Democrats are over-stating the importance of their defeat of two Republican backed constitutional amendments in this week’s primary. It doesn’t mean everything they want to think it does, but it doesn’t mean nothing.
We were ready to say the voices of moderation — scratch that — the voices of sanity had prevailed except that in that Green Bay congressional district, guy named Tony Wied defeated two solid Republican legislators: former state Senate president Roger Roth and State Sen. Andre Jacque.
Tuesday’s vote against two referendums pushed by the GOP makes it obvious that Wisconsin voters are beginning to tire of the petty games that all too many Republican legislators have been gleefully playing.
Bamboozled ‘no’ voters just made a bad situation permanently worse.
If you write as an ‘expert on the lost art of manhood,’ then your behavior must exemplify what you think it is to be a big tough man.
Contact with voters is the way to win Wisconsin.
I’m so sick of hearing that Vice President Kamala Harris was a “Border Czar.” She wasn’t one, and there wasn’t one. But I also regret that she was abruptly sent to Central America to take actions that would supposedly deter immigration from those countries.
Fanlund interviews Pelosi, who will speak at the Cap Times Idea Fest Sept. 16.
We would call them laughable if the danger to our nation was not so great. Therefore, it seems the word that best can be used with co-workers, at family cookouts this summer, and at sporting venues is the one that so easily rolls off the tongue because it is so accurate. Everyone understands it. Weird.
Farmers already contend with a variety of economic pressures, including volatile market prices, unpredictable weather and rising operational costs. The added strain of receiving lower payments due to increased make allowances exacerbates these challenges.
Tuesday’s primary results reflect a changed landscape.
