-—“Lame”

You think its benign to lie about a State’s debt repayment? That is a typical lefty lie pushed to low information voters. Perhaps from you its just incoherence about macro-financial dealings.

Benign to lie about John Doe? Repeating the lie that Walker opponents have used in the last two elections? In Wisconsin we wondered if we will be the next to have our contributions to Walker investigated by out of control prosecutors. Did you know Sean Hannity and Charlie Sykes were on their list?

http://watchdog.org/123437/wisconsin-john-doe-irs/

-—I have been discussing the WEDC and the poor ranking in job creation.

And how Walker mishandled the unions by exempting the police and fire unions, and how he’s lying about his budget, how conservative justices need to recuse themselves, that the John Doe is “on hold”, that Wisconsin hasn’t developed fracking sand (while our mining has increased 700 percent), that Wisconsins job creation problems didn’t begin under Doyle

You’ve been an amazing recap of every Wisconsin lefty talking point for years (except the sand mining, they hate the sand mining).

-—When have I misstated the unemployment rate?

Oh my special Troll. In post 102 you said Wisconsin’s unemployment rate ranked at 44th in the nation you probably again posted out of date information which seems a lot like lying. I gave you the link immediately following showing the falsity of that and you didn’t acknowledge the correction.

——You sound rather hysterical and desperate for someone on solid ground.

You come on as pressured, distracted and lying as the Donald. “there are difficult problems... big problems in Wisconsin’.

The Democrats planned to overthow Walker the day he was elected. In Wisconsin we have learned to push back hard, that’s why Walker has survived the lies. And we don’t need to hear those same contemptible lies from you here. You want to continue to loopily post lies, you are my troll.

“You are going to be in meltdown when the debates start.”

Actually, I am pretty sure, at least on the republican side, that the debates will be limited to truth, and the lies like you are spouting will not be allowed.

Not unemployment, 44th in job creation. Unemployment was not discussed at all. Job creation is an entirely different issue.

John Doe is being revued at the Supreme Court level. Like it or not that is the status of the investigation.

I’ve simply pointed out what Wisconsins ranking was when Walker came into office and how quickly it fell. Again the 44th ranking referred to private sector jobs growth, quite a fall from 11th place when Walker took office.

Yes, and this link that I posted above shows that its FALLEN to 33d in JOB CREATION due to the bad May.

http://host.madison.com/news/local/city-life/wisconsin-falls-to-rd-in—month-job-growth-may/article_af618034-19f3-11e5-b67f-8f94e684a9df.html

——John Doe is being revued at the Supreme Court level. Like it or not that is the status of the investigation.

Hmm, you didn’t specify which Supreme Court. Do you know? Is it lame to point out your sloppiness?

And again it is A FALSEHOOD that that is the legal status of the “investigation” is under review. The investigation was stopped in Federal Court.

Read this very carefully

A federal judge on Friday effectively pulled the life support plug on a politically charged John Doe investigation into dozens of conservative groups, and took the rare step of ordering the Government Accountability Board to post his decision on its website.

http://watchdog.org/196908/john-doe-federal-gab/

“The final judgment confirms that John Doe never had a legal leg to stand on because speech on the issues is not regulated by Wisconsin law,” a legal expert with knowledge of the case told Wisconsin Reporter earlier this month. “And as of today, (Milwaukee County District Attorney) John Chisholm and the Government Accountability Board are permanently enjoined from targeting citizens for speaking out on the issues.

”Two previous judges. and now Clevert, have declared their interpretation unconstitutional.

http://watchdog.org/200190/wisconsin-john-doe-first-amendment/

also the Supreme Court’s instructions

http://www.rightwisconsin.com/dailytakes/State-Supreme-Court-Takes-John-Doe-Cases-286076571.html

I’ll grant that Its tough to follow this complexity from afar so best you not baselessly and erroneously opine (like the lefties constantly do) until the Wisconsin Supreme Court provides it final ruling (and the conservatives recuse themselves my butt).

Again, why don’t you take a day or so and reexamine your research and posting technique so you don’t come across as a lying troll and to self reflect whether you are truly open to discussion here at Free Republic.

To: Just mythoughts

“Bald face LIE. Name one union that supported Walker. IN real time not what some biased writer accused.”

The Wisconsin Troopers Association,The Milwaukee Police Union, The Milwaukee Firefighter Union, Milwaukee Police Supervisor’s Org., Operating Engineers Local 139, Wisconsin Pipe Traders Assoc., Wisconsin State Council of Carpenters, Steamfitters Local 601, Sprinkler Fitters Local 183, Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 400, 118, & 434, Boilmakers Local 107, NE Wisconsin Building & Construction Trades Council.

These are just a few. Most of them donated money. And this is in “real time”. You can look up their donations to his campaign on followthemoney.org

“Who paid political donors big bucks? You are extremely loose with so called FACTS”

The “so-called” facts:

The WEDC was the creation of Walker intended to create jobs in WI. Since Walker was the chairman of WEDC I suppose he is responsible for the grants.

At least 2 of the companies that received grants used that money to create jobs overseas when they had laid off employees here at home. (Plexus and Eaton Corp.)

After doing so Eaton Corp. received 1.36 million in additional grants from WEDC. Execs from both companies donated a lot of $$ to Walker’s campaign.

WEDC has also “lost track” of millions of dollars in loans granted, failed to keep good records on other loans granted. WEDC staff has also been found to have spend WEDC funds on football games, gift cards etc.

While Walker’s office was sent a copy of a letter acknowledging a big loan to a campaign donor who owned a construction company the Walker campaign has denied that Walker knew about it.

The company went out of business, never paid back the loan. Of course no WI jobs were created with that $ either.
Walker’s campaign denied any knowledge of the loan nor the campaign donation of $10,000 (the maximum allowed under law).

There have been calls for a federal investigation. There have been witch hunts against Walker by the left that have amounted to nothing. This one however has legs and I believe it will hurt him. He should never have been chairman of this committee in the first place. And for a guy who claims to be conservative and against big government he put WI of picking winners and losers in this. Cronyism at it’s worst. Walker is against big government unless it is HIS big government. Then he seems to be all for it.

While Walker used to be on my possible list although not my fave this and his flip-flopping on immigration has soured me on his candidacy. He has other strong points however and I would like to see him stay in WI as governor. The WEDC thing though really bothers me and changed my opinion of him greatly.

There are tons and tons of news stories and sources for this on the internet. Take you pick of which are more credible to you. You seem to have no problem finding bible verses to quote so looking this up should be easy peasy for you:)

I’m reminded of another verse. I don’t think it’s from the bible but I have heard it repeated often. I don’t know who to credit.

“There are none so blind than those who will not see.”

God Bless!

He actually talked about this in his book.

It was a good decision for safety reasons. If the police, firefighters and prison guards had went on strike during that time it could have become a very dangerous environment in WI.

I believe his first duty was to make sure the citizens of the state were protected as much as possible. As it was they had plenty of problems with the Madison police.

Thank you. I’m not sure why anyone would be afraid of the truth. It seems that if there is a problem, it is better to know now than after the election.

We know that most people don’t take the time to examine the candidates, but those of us who care need to shine the light.

Yup. you and I seem to have a supernatural ability.

Imagine if Stan Lee were younger. We could havebeen stars in our own Superhero comic book.

“They saw the OBVIOUS”
(When others would NOT!)

Has a nice ring to it.

But today not so much. Although we could get the surgery and become ex-men instead of The X-men...so there’s that.

Wait. Maybe we really are superhuman in our abilities. Perhaps we need to step back and start small.

Maybe spend a few months in the gym after a few gallons of Dianabol and HGH. The we sould start off flexing in body builder poses and pointing to things and saying “Tree” and “Cat” so that people got used to seeing obvious things themselves.

I dunno. Just an idea I had.

“Again, when Trump gets elected and have a record of balancing budgets and reforming state institutions controlled by leftists for decades, then he can attack Walker.”

Good, you just assumed Trump will be elected to President and will be able to establish his record. My point precisely, and he will be great at it, as he is a doer, not just a talker.

Hey, that’s been my pet theory all along - Trump wants Hillary or Bush to win, so he is in the race to take all the anti-establishment votes, especially in the primaries. Look at the candidates he has hurt in the polls - Cruz, Walker, Paul, etc. Bush is still in second place.

Certainly not any of the Bushes. Paul appeals to many conservatives who have libertarian leanings. Trump is trying to help Bush get the nomination by taking away the anti-Bush vote.

The Republican Party started going downhill when Reagan was persuaded to take Bush Sr. as his running mate. I really knew we were doomed when Bush didn’t slap down that dippy guy who asked about the government being his “daddy”.
