Was what that guy said accurate? He said all that Barrett (read: Unions) spent was 4 million?!?! I'm curious just how much money those Unions really spent trying to recall Walker? My guess is the Unions spent quite a bit more than 4 million.

Yep to listen to this uneducated lemming, Barrett hocked his watch and spent $64.34 on the race and bought one campaign sign and strapped it to a Cat and set it loose. Geez.

campaign finance documents show Big Labor both inside and outside of Wisconsin pouring just over $7 million into the effort to recall Governor Scott Walker and four GOP state senators. In the 2011 recall campaign combined total spending by unions and progressive groups reached $14.7 million, or just over twice what labor unions alone have managed to raise or spend in what is the opening round of the effort to knock out Governor Walker less than two years into his term.

The demoRATs & media keep harping on how Scott Walker raised $31 million to fight against the recall.... but last year the unions & dimTurds spent $45 million to recall 6 Repub senators, plus trying to vote in Kloppenberg as WI Supreme Court judge vs David Prosser.

And the estimates I recall reading for the recalls this year were that the unions, (WI state & national unions) had $61 million that they allocated to recall Walker, Kleefisch & the 4 Repub state senators. So in total, I would say between last year & this year, the demoRATs & unions spent $106 million on wasted recall campaigns. I for one, am thankful & overjoyed that we kicked the crap out of the demoRATS & unions.
