I once agreed with your assessment, but I have modified my assessment. The repetitive cry to authority in the form of the Milwaukee Journalist Sentinel is an advanced technique and it has worked with many posters. This may well be personal, but then that makes he/she/it a fraud to be sure.

If you had read the full article, you would have gotten a good summation of what the Open Records Laws do and what the attempted repeal would have done.

Walker has the record of fighting and winning against Democrats. We saw Madison Dems in fits of apoplexy and practically blind with rage over their inability to unseat that guy. Have we forgotten so soon? He does the one thing we ask of any Republican: he fights!

“Journal Sentinel is a Pulitzer prize winning publication”

Right. The JS, which was recently sold, has pretty much been relegated to a Daily Shopper status by its new owners. If they shrink it anymore it will be like a ten-cent comic book. This paper is completely irrelevant throughout the state. This paper is shutting down its distribution network like crazy. The Journal Sentinel’s circulation and ad revenue will hardly support their printing costs in the very near future. It won’t be long and they will be up side down and the new owners will turn it into a Weekly.

She’s already hinted that she’s on the inside of some team, preparing the next Walker bomb.

Give it up. Walker put up with idiotic attacks before and won an election in a fairly liberal state...once...twice....three times. He’s got my vote. The man know how to win an election. We are required to win if we want to govern.

And when she’s proven to have posted untruths she posts them again and again.

This guy is dirty and dishonest.


Really? I suppose a leftist could make some petty claim against Cruz and you would think he is squeaky clean. Knock off the circular firing squad. Let’s win an election.

The Urinal Sentinel is a proven Democrat propaganda outlet. They didn’t report, they actively participated in the fascist attacks on Walker - hint THEY ARE A UNION SHOP.

Hints have pointed at the Cruz team, but I would not be surprised to learn no connection whatsoever with Cruz. Democrat operative is my guess.

I gotta admit. Trolling is a little too easy on this sight sometimes. I took the bait too.

OTOH, Gov. Walker’s self-inflicted wounds make it seem as though he’s not ready for primetime. I think he’s a great governor but he and his staff would get eaten alive in DC. You midwesterners are too nice and too trusting and a lot of you still think you can be friends with liberals. Walker makes a lot of amateurish mistakes and he comes across as too moderate when he dodges issues or waits till he sees the writing on the wall before he makes a decision. That’s not leadership, but it’s how a republican stays alive in such a blue state.

It is a fact that he did cheat in the election at Marquette and that he was suspended from campaigning for a period of time. It is also true that the Marquette Tribune declared him "unfit to serve". From Politifact:

An election commission found Walker guilty of campaigning a week early. A Quigley worker campaigned too close to polls. An unregistered Walker worker dropped literature at students’ doors. Walker lost campaign privileges in one Marquette facility, and lost a day of campaigning as another penalty.

The day before the election, the student-produced Marquette Tribune endorsed Quigley. That surprised Quigley, who expected that his rabble-rousing style would be frowned on. The paper, though, also said Walker was qualified.

That day’s newspaper became a limited edition, students told the Quigley campaign. They’d seen Walker workers and/or College Republicans emptying editions of the Tribune from racks in high-traffic buildings, according to Quigley. Administrators soon got involved in the dustup.

"I heard by mid-day that people couldn’t find it," Quigley told us. Tribune officials also complained to administrators.

Stung by the endorsement, Walker’s camp plastered campus with an election-eve flier criticizing Quigley’s political tactics.

It was gentle stuff, but the Trib took offense, publishing an election-day editorial headlined, "Walker unfit." It decried his "mudslinging" and said another factor in its reversal on Walker being qualified was the alleged theft of papers, which Walker’s camp denied.

The next day’s vote wasn’t close; Quigley won 1,245 to 947.

All you have to do is search “Wisconsin Open Records Laws Repeal Attempt”. While you’re at it , check out Walker’s WEDC.

This is widely reported fact for anyone interested in vetting a candidate.

I know how to find the Left wing attacks, they are bountiful.

Your assertion that it’s true is another question entirely.

Your argument is entirely and completely founded in these Democrat propaganda pieces. That is not the behavior of a conservative on a conservative forum. In fact your behavior is straight out of the Rules for Radicals.

What ever happened to Quigley, anyway. Oh, I remember, he was arrested and removed from his position in student government. You conveniently left that part out, didn’t you?

Context, based on the actual situation on the ground, is everything. Else, all you have is a screed like those who cherry-pick the Bible to tell us Jesus was/is a Democrat/commie/socialist.

The context is, he tried to repeal Open Records Laws 3 days before he announced his Presidential run. What’s he hiding?
