(Madison, WI)….First it was “Smokes for Votes.” Then it was “Pastries for Votes.” Now Democrats are continuing their assault on the health of voters by offering “Wieners for votes.”
Democrats in Eau Claire are illegally offering free food in an effort to bribe people for their vote. Today, a complaint had to be filed against Democrat Kathleen Vinehout’s campaign for handing out free food in violation of Wisconsin’s “election bribery” law. The Executive Director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, Rick Wiley, says he doubts even free food will help Vinhout’s campaign.
“Apparently, Kathleen’s campaign is so out of steam, they have to offer free hotdogs for votes,” Wiley said, “Cigarettes, pastries and now hotdogs for votes. No wonder Democrats want universal health care. The people they are bribing for their vote are going to need it.”
Kathleen Vineholt’s campaign manager was spotted putting up flyers on the UW-Eau Claire campus for a phony front group called “Students 4 Students Voting.” The flyers offer free hotdogs for voters, a clear violation of Wisconsin law. Wisconsin Statute 12.11(1) defines “election bribery” as “. . . any amount of money, or any object which has utility independent of any political message it contains and the value of which exceeds $1.” Wiley says he’s not surprised that Vineholt has resorted to breaking Wisconsin law to get votes.
“Kathleen Vineholt is continuing a Democrat tradition of Election bribery,” Wiley said, “For Democrats, it’s a lot easier to illegally hand out freebies than it is to come up with a plan to make Wisconsin better.”
A complaint was also filed on Vineholt’s campaign because a UW-Eau Clair professor was caught coordinating with Democrats at taxpayer expense. According to the complaint filed today, a professor was using her taxpayer funded e-mail to get students to accept rides from Democrats to the polls. On those shuttles, voters were handed a completed sample ballot with all the Democrats filled in – making it clear they were to vote for Democrats to enjoy the free perk.
Jim Doyle’s administration remains under investigation by Federal, State and County authorities.
ROFL! They have to PAY thier volunteers and have to offer food, drugs, booze or sex to get their BASE out....that should tell everyone ALOT about this election.
Thank you! I don't know what it is about that show. My husband can't stand them, but I think they appeal to me because I have a very hard time NOT talking to the TV most of the time. Maybe these movies just emphasize my annoying little habit? LOL!
I watched the one about Zombies and Gypsies and Three Crazy Kids last night on DVD. It was just hilarious. :)
Heh! That name's better than the one that they actually came up with for that movie/musical: "THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED-UP ZOMBIES."
Sorry, I forgot to add the fact that my Wife hates it, too.
Every now and then, she gets a NetFlix movie in the mail (usually a chick flick) that she tells me, "You simply HAVE to see this!"
She boots me out after about three minutes of going MST3K on her movie, and I go back to playing my Xbox with my Sons.
Glad to know I'm not alone. :)
