Paul Ryan, Racine Tea Party Rally, June 2

From Michael Burke, the Journal Times:

The whole country is watching Wisconsin’s recall elections.

Speaker after speaker stated and restated the national interest in, and importance of, Tuesday’s recall elections during a 2-hour Racine TEA Party PAC rally on Saturday morning at Gorney Park, 8201 Nicholson Road. The event drew an estimated 4,000 people, one speaker said, and featured a series of major Republican politicians and conservative commentators.

They stressed the point that Wisconsin is considered a bellwether for what could happen across the country after Tuesday, and in November.

Their accompanying, repeated message was: Get out as many like-minded voters as you can to rebuff Tuesday’s attempted recall of Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and state Sen. Van Wanggaard, R-Racine. The latter two spoke during the rally.

...Noting the national prominence of the recall election, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan said: “You know what? On Tuesday we save Wisconsin, and on Nov. 6, Wisconsin saves America.”

Ryan, R-Wis., added: “This recall, it doesn’t make any sense ... what governor or legislator will ever take on these reforms if the recall succeeds?”

Ryan also said of Democratic recall challengers Tom Barrett, Mahlon Mitchell and John Lehman: “They’re not even offering another solution. They’re not saying how they would fix our problems a different way.”

Paul Ryan, one of the most prominent Republicans in the country, wasn't afraid to show his support for Scott Walker, Rebecca Kleefisch, and Van Wanggaard.

Unlike Obama, Ryan wasn't hiding in the shadows and avoiding taking a stand in this recall election.

I love what he said: "On Tuesday we save Wisconsin, and on Nov. 6, Wisconsin saves America."

That's a great rallying cry.

It says it all.
