Wisconsin Democratic lawmakers called on federal investigators Monday to launch a probe into Republican Gov. Scott Walker's job creation agency after a newspaper reported the organization made a questionable loan to one of Walker's top donors five years ago.
Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca and Sen. Julie Lassa, who both sit on the Wisconsin Economic Development Association's board, told reporters at a news conference that they are outraged by the revelations in the Wisconsin State Journal's story. The report raises serious questions about whether the agency and Walker's administration did an improper political favor for the donor, they said.

Why can’t our side harass people until the day they die like this?
Because some on "our side" still think you have to play by the rules. They ain't figured out that in a fight to the death, there are no "rules."
I cite as an example our forefathers, who, after getting shot to pieces at Concord Bridge, resorted to ambushing the Redcoats from behind trees and stone walls. The Redcoats complained that wasn't how wars were to be fought, as they counted their dead.
“Why cant our side harass people until the day they die like this?”
We don’t have the big soapbox of the MSM.
I’m not making excuses but it’s true.
That, and "our side" has absolutely no clue how to wage political war. No clue whatsoever. Meanwhile, the leftists will die for their cause, even when they are wrong. "Our side" would rather capitulate.
What a bunch of losers.
Pay no attention to Obama and his Green Energy Slush Fund Machine.
What is a few billion dollars of federal tax payer money compared to $500,000 of state tax dollars.
Obama gave $535 million to Solyndra whos major investor was a huge Obama donor.
The government is expected to recover just $24 million of the $527 million that taxpayers lent the company. Republicans have accused the administration of favoring Solyndra because its largest investors were funds linked to Oklahoma billionaire George Kaiser, an Obama donor.
Maybe he should setup a Slush Fund Foundation.
RATS seem ok with that.
Sometimes the other side does things which are so despicable I wouldn’t want our side to do them.
Like Harry “one eye” Reid going on the Senate floor and telling slanderous lies about Romney.
However, that really was an extreme case. If we get and R in there next year I want him or her to really sic the Justice Department on all those bums in the IRS.
I’ll die happy if I know Lois Lerner went to prison for her many heinous crimes.
So I agree, our side should play ball A LOT harder than they do.
Why cant our side harass people until the day they die like this?
The only way to stop it is to do exactly that.
The first mistake the right makes is playing defense. They allow the left to frame the argument, and then spend their time responding. That’s a losing proposition from the word “GO”. The 2nd mistake is that the right uses cold hard facts and statistics, every time. The left, OTOH, uses emotion (”It’s for the children”) and does so in such an effective and efficient manner that, by the time they have framed the debate using emotion, the right is pretty much powerless and all they can do is respond (which usually only makes it worse). These are just 2 instances of the right’s inability to wage any effective political war.

Do note that Walker wasn’t even governor yet five years ago. That tells me that they are running out of ammo, and this is all they have left. They want to start John Doe #3, somehow, some way. If not, at least get another phony story out there.
Not a flattering picture. She was young once, with dreams and hopes!
Now she is part of the weird withered sisterhood of Democrat activists and politicians, who give themselves meaning by destroying the happiness and security of good men and women.
If it were really about corruption all she would have to do would be to have a look in the factory size hog-shed that houses her party and sample the run off from their holding pond!

Wow... That Walker guy is pretty smart...
So he knew what each donor to his campaign had received in loans before he was governor...
Talk about grasping at straws....
