    Do you want to eat? Cuz those fine 'sconny farmers grow a lot of food, if we give them the support they need to do so. Just for the record, here’s who showed, and who didn’t even send a staff member:

    Attended: "Madison-area U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Black Earth), state Sen. Jeff Smith (D-Eau Claire) and state Reps. Jodi Emerson (D-Eau Claire) and Christian Phelps (D-Eau Claire) were in attendance.

    Missing in Action: U.S. Reps. Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden, state Reps. Rob Sommerfeld (R-Bloomer), Treig Pronschinske (R-Mondovi) and Clint Moses (R-Mondovi) and state Sens. Jesse James (R-Thorp) and Rob Stafsholt (R-New Richmond) were all invited but did not attend or send a staff member. "

      Yup and still they will still say Democrats don’t care about them, don’t understand them and don’t want to understand them.

        Because they are “elitist”.

        Of course, the anti-intellectuals use a twisted version of that term, only meaning “people that know things, have expertise, went to university, etc.”.

        When they say elitist, they almost NEVER mean someone like fElon or Bronzo the Clown.
