Stevens Point Wisconsin was the place to be this weekend if you wanted to observe the Wisconsin Republican Party and here are some observations.
Congressman Paul Ryan rocks!!! I have said it many times-I hope to live long enough to see him President of the United States or at least my kids will be able to vote for him.
Congressman James Sensenbrenner told it like it should be told. In blasting Speaker Mike Huebsch he make it clear that Republicans will could be in the minority in the Wisconsin Assembly with leadership that governs like the GOP Congress did prior to the elections of 2006.
“Unfortunately, Speaker Huebsch decided to push it [the budget repair bill] through the Assembly. And he did so in a manner which does not fix the problems of overtaxing, and replaces transportation fees with more state borrowing - exactly the same move which helped destroy the Republican brand. Everyone can see this is a political shell game that simply postpones the hard decisions. Sometimes, leadership consists of saying “NO” to bad policies, rather than going along to get along.”
Congressman Tom Petri did not attend the convention. He was only Republican Congressman from Wisconsin that voted with the Democrats this week for a tax increase.
County Executive Scott Walker is Doing The Right Things to prepare for a run for the Governor’s office in 2010.
Chairman Reince Priebus is one of my heros. He is doing an incredible job in rebuilding a party that lost “it’s brand”, and not only talks the talk - but walks the walk.
However as you looked around the convention hall you had to wonder why the Waukesha County delegation seats were almost empty -
McCain will carry Wisconsin.
