RE :”How much did the teachers and public employee Unions give to Mark Dayton?”

Thats OK because they are public servants whose #1 priority is our kids well being, its greedy corporatists like Menard who we have to watch.

I bet he denies global warming...

What is illegal?

No?

Let's move on.

It's just the Liberal Slime Machine at work again.

RE:”What is illegal? No? “

Yes, but it sounds seedy.

Maybe we need someone with a pure unchallenged record to go up against someone who has a clean a background as Hillary does.

Rant:

The left is incapable, or unwilling, to be honest. Stupid is one thing but if you do not have basic honesty your whole existence, and everything you stand for, is born of a lie?

To constantly be intellectually dishonest you have to, at conscious level, be willing to ignore reality?

I know i am not saying anything new but sometimes it just that you still help but think how someone could let themselves be so off the track?

I guess for some its power and others it the “freebies” and the lack of drive?

Kind of sad, in a way, because life really only take a half an effort. And a sizable portion of the population can’t even muster a half an effort.

It isn't even seedy. People give big money to an Abortion Rights group, who then gives the money to President Obama's campaign. Then President Obama supports abortion rights.

People give money to politicians who see the world as they do. That's the system. It doesn't always imply that they been "bought".

Isikoff fails to mention that campaign donation rules in WI are different for recall elections.

...and then suppose the individuals who gave the $$$ to the abortion group got a special Obamacare wavier?

Megyn Kelly might report it on her show, but thats about it.

“Dark money” is that money with Obama’s picture?

What’s the right denomination for him? I’d say the 3 dollar bill, as in “queerer than a”.

Personally, I resolve to shop at Menard’s MORE, now that I know that he supports our governor!

He owns a chain of discount hardware and home improvement stores — a chief competitor in Wisconsin to Home Depot.

Because Hardware retail chains are known serial environmental violator /s

From another story: "Previously, the company had received 13 citations going back to 1976, more than any company in the state, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported in 2005. That included a $1.7 million fine in 1997 for illegally dumping hazardous waste in private trash containers. In a separate case, a judge ordered the company pay $2 million for illegally polluting Wisconsin waterways in 2001 and 2002."

Yep, Blue Wisconsin hates businesses, especially those owned by conservatives. That’s why Walker has put a collar on the rabid dog DNR…….

The company did not know the malfunctioning drain existed, sealed the drain when notified of the problem and pleaded guilty to take responsibility, she said.

Dawn Sands, Menard’s general counsel, said the company has not decided whether to appeal. She said the company has 60 days before it would have to pay the fine. Sands called the case the most striking example
of overzealous enforcement of environmental laws by state agencies, which she said refuse to work with corporations.

Alternatively we would be wise to stick with someone who has a record of taking Dems on and actually beating them passing laws they hate and repealing ones that they think are critical.
