Kindly refrain from harming the messenger. I just posted Mr. Connason's article.

Wow, how 'bout this? A leftie crying in his beer 'cause the LSM won't report possible corruption by the right.

Its hard to believe that the DNC press would not trumpet a scandal like this right when they were trying to recall him.

You’d think the unions and teachers would be standing in front of the cameras around the clock detailing his alleged corruption.

If there were anything to it, aside from maybe law enforcement being used as a political weapon.

I don’t understand....corruption as extensive as Connason’s article states here, and being a Republican at that would not be dropped, omitted, skirted, or any other evasive inference one can come up with by the Leftist butt kissing MSM. It just would not be.

I call BS on this one, and am prepared for whatever bad news comes my way.

What is the status of the investigations of liberal voter fraud and Union collusion with Dem party activities?

So.....some people Walker knows have been indicted...

...so Walker must be guilty by association?

And how do we know about these investigations, and immunity deals....unless several other people are breaking the law to leak the information?

Sorry, I don’t know. I do know that if corruption involves the RATS you’ll never see it in the LSM.

When it comes to liberalism, Joe has always been a “ZEN Liberal”....he has a history, so don’t take him too seriously.

‘’As millions of dollars in dark right-wing money pour into the state to preserve Gov/ Scott Walker from his progressive opposition””

It’s only dark money or dirty money when it is for a Republican.

There is less to the story than what Conason is reporting. Yes, a few people are being investigated, some of them from when Walker was the Milwaukee Co. Executive, one lady was convicted of making campaign calls from the office, and then a pair of gay guys, one of whom embezzled money from a fund set up for veterans charities. They were campaign staffers for Walker and then were in the current administration. Walker alerted the DOJ to launch an internal investigation when the financial irregularities first surfaced. And it’s an investigation that’s been dragged out and splashed across the papers in hopes of tainting Walker during the recall.

Conason is a hard-core Communist. Period. End of Paragraph. End of Story. Anything he says has ZERO credibility. I can’t believe this story was even published.

You can't believe it? Don't you realize that Scott Walker is Democrat Public Enemy #1 and that their hatred of him will only grow with his defeat of their recall attempt?

They thought the biased Milwaukee DA was going to hand him over prior to the recall - right now they are holding out hope against hope that it will still happen.

In a similar story, South Carolina Demoncrats have continued to harass Gov. Nikki Haley with ethics allegations that have twice been debunked. The only reason it would seem is to fabricate as much smoke as possible to offer what ever damage the Dems can manage on her.

"It’s the seriousness of the charge that matters", not if it is true or not.

Many of the dead voters must have been cremated. Enough that the busses carting in people couldn’t make the same day lines soon enough.

Gov. Sarah Palin got that treatment to the max in Alaska.

I thought Rasmussen was a polling organization. Does he also publish oppinions?
