Tea party planning to meddle with WI signature verification process.

[RandySF]

On Tuesday, organizers of the effort to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will submit stacks upon stacks of signed petitions to the state, a move that will set a 60-day time clock into motion as the signatures are counted and verified.

Both the Republican and Democratic parties of Wisconsin have set up their own vetting and verification operations to ensure only valid signatures are counted.

However, there’s a new guest joining the recall party, and they’ll be sure all their “I’s” are dotted and their “Teas” are crossed.

Tea Party groups in Wisconsin and around the country have recruited nearly 10,000 volunteers from 49 states to scrutinize the signatures and verify that people who signed petitions are indeed who they say they are.

1. For all the media blather about the Teabaggers being up in arms about politics as usual

they sure never miss a chance to jump in and prove it wrong as long as there is any right wing cause - is there anyone left besides M$M who doesn't recognize this at this point?

2. There aren't 10K Teabaggers in the country. I'll be waiting for their "volunteers".

3. They better order plenty of PortaPotties...

Overflow crowds full of shit expected.

4. Our local Tea Partiers

started out around 150 strong (city population ~20,000)...they are down to 25-35 very bitter old men and a few Ron Paul/Alex Jones supporters.

8. Even if there were, I would doubt that more than a few dozen ...

... would actually show up in Wisconsin in the winter.

5. Whats in it for the "Tea party"? they've become the Keystone Kops of the corporate manipulators? nt

6. So called Tea Partiers, upon a little bit of a more serious look...

will turn out to be employees of the Koch brigade. There is no way the white trash that makes up the "Tea Party" could scrape up the cash to show up in Madison.

7. Aren't these the ones complaining about "outside agitators"?

10000 from all around the country coming to Wisconsin to make mischief...

9. Irony, thy name is Republican. n/t

10. Oh screw these whacknuts. The Dems have already TRIPLE-verified every signature. The TeaNuts are

going to just make themselves look like stupid idiots with their major league FAIL. Plus, they are going to piss off the WI board to elections who already have staff to do this, will do it, and will not want all the the TeaNuts
bullshit time wasting "challenges." You just watch. Give an idiot enough rope and he'll hang himself every time.

12. This is the beginning of the end of round one of a multi-round contest....

We have to win every round. The enemy only needs to win one of the rounds. As was shown clearly in 2000, the bottom line is the law is whatever a court says it is.

11. Can a non-Wisconsin resident take part

in Wisconsin election monitoring? I wouldn't think so. Screw 'em. If 10,000 signed up, 20 will show up, but there will be 1000 porta-potties.

13. Honestly, this is normal and to be expected

We had a successful recal election (actual recall failed) of our Democratic mayor. When the signatures were turned in, our side did the same thing. I am not about to feign horror at this.
