Walker’s Opponents Get Personal - Democrats resort to making stuff up
National Review Online ^ | October 21, 2014 | Christian Schneider

".....For instance, Burke has been traversing the state telling voters that Walker’s policies have led to a $1.8 billion deficit. This is demonstrably false; Democrats essentially took a brief one-time revenue downtick and extrapolated it over the course of four years, saying the hiccup would extend to 2017.

But that number assumes state revenues wouldn’t grow a dime in the next four years. Heck, why not stretch it out over eight years and call it a $4 billion deficit? Or Burke could warn voters of the impending $1 trillion deficit due around the corner in 4236.....

....But this is campaign season, where facts are often collateral damage. One particularly noxious ad being run against Walker by a PAC called the Greater Wisconsin Committee tries to cash in on the “war on women” meme, accusing Walker of repealing Wisconsin’s “Equal Pay Law.”

This charge, which has been given a “False” rating by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Politifact team, cites the claim that women are paid less “for equal work,” a charge that has been thoroughly dismantled over the past year. Walker actually repealed a 2009 law passed by a Democratic legislature and governor that allowed trial attorneys to collect larger judgments in sexual-discrimination suits. Not surprisingly, the Greater Wisconsin Committee is a front group for the state’s trial attorneys.....

.....Last week, in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial board, Burke was asked why the union and pro-abortion money being spent on her campaign this year is different from the mining money spent on Republicans’ behalf in 2011 and 2012........ [her answer is priceless].......

Very informative piece.

You'd think I'd get used to the lies, but it's impossible.

Liars! That's what Democrats are, liars! cheats! destroyers of freedom and purveyors of character assassination!

Polls have this race deadlocked 47-47.

Get the word out about this latest push to discredit Gov. Scott Walker.

Democrats always lie because they can’t win on issues. They say Walker hates women (he’s married to one, and another was his mother). They say Republicans throw senior citizens off the cliff (Republicans have senior citizen parents, relatives, friends). They say Republicans are for dirty air and dirty water (Republicans breathe the same air and drink the same water). Just goes to show how ridiculous Democrats are, and how gullible the public is. Sad.

Scott Walker created Ebola in his basement using his Junior Biology Lab Set. Then he got on his invisible jet, flew to West Africa and infected villagers. He hates black people and he kills kittens training his herd of Ebola Pit Bulls which he is planning to release in blue voting precincts all over the state. He is diabolical and an evil genius. Resistance is futile.

A liberal democrat lies? Over in Google+ I’ve noticed a trend in the last week. Increasingly, you see liberal/fascist wanna-bes post some lie about how terrible the GOP is or how great a job bammy is doing. It is an obvious, easily refuted lie but... They’ll post it, let a few people reply to it to get it’s hits up or whatever so that it becomes “hot on Google+” then, as the original poster they can disable comments, and apparently even delete comments. So they get their “message” (ie. lie) out there and it is difficult to refute. Lying cowards.

They just like being the ones in charge cause they then get to award their big time supporters with patronage.
Problem is if the pubbies get to be in charge they will reward their big time supporters with patronage.
This worthless fed gub mint just keeps getting larger and less worthwhile.

Mary Burk is best characterized as an empty head wearing an empty skirt who did nothing, does nothing, and doesn’t last long at anything in her entire life. But she isn’t Walker, is a female, and is very wealthy - the sum total of her qualifications.

We have an interesting woman here in Nevada who is running for Lt Governor.

She was in the state Assembly & was brought up on charges of campaign finance errors & wrongdoings.

She apparently was caught spending over $8550 in campaign funds on herself—and NOT properly reporting this activity on campaign paperwork. Travel- personal purchases- even groceries for her home.

Her answer to the charges?

“It isn’t FAIR to have to report every single penny”.

She said that ON THE RECORD!!!

She is Hispanic & a Democrat.

Is this kind of behavior Nature or Nurture or BOTH???

I won’t be voting for her if she is the only name on the ballot.

Democrats are the American version of alqueada. It is legal for them to lie, to the "unbeliever". In the democrats case the unbeliever that it is OK to lie to are the R's. They have no God to keep them in check, so they can spew out lies, cheat and steal, to get to their ultimate goal of Utopia with a one party system.

I just donated $50 to Walker, he has taken so much heat and beat downs, he has been threatened with bodily harm, so has his family. They protested on his front lawn and threatened his family with violence. Fu** you lawyers, baby killers and government unions these are his opponents constituents.
