Related: About this forumIs Madison no longer in WI?
Again I hear from Scott Walker while talking about the result of the Puke primary we now have a clear choice between an extreme Madison liberal in Baldwin and a proven reformer in Thompson. I'm getting a little tired of the governor bagging on the second largest city in my state!
What a douche!

Jeebus, what a moran.

The old joke is that Madison is 25 square miles surrounded by reality.
So, calling someone a Madison librul is like calling them communist - as good as a dog whistle for non-Madison voters.
