They have no respect for government or laws: those things only get in the way of their "freedom" or "liberty," just as the wealthy and corporations want things.<br />John Doe and Teapublican failure are two sides of the same coin. Corruption, greed, secrecy, all evading the ideals that made Wisconsin a great place to live and work. <br />Wisconsin does deserve better, and voters do vote on impressions. It would be foolish to ignore and grant a pass to Walker's campaign machine, just as it would be foolish to not explain what you stand for.<br />Let's hope the DPW can come up with a logical division of labor to carry out these tasks, one that can feed the voting population with the salient information needed to make the impression for voting Democrat.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-60605930217443257142014-06-25T10:54:04.028-05:002014-06-25T10:54:04.028-05:00Why not have capper and Jeff do the dirty work if ...Why not have capper and Jeff do the dirty work if the details and refuting RW lies? Burke and Tate can hint around it with talk of "ethics" and "We're better than that." <br /><br /> Sort of a "good cop, bad cop" thing. Much like how Walker gets Sykes, Belling and Icki to say the nasty race-baiting stuff he believes, but won't get caught saying in public.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-7182404523758061282014-06-25T10:16:07.464-05:002014-06-25T10:16:07.464-05:00exactly...what would charlie sykes think should ne...exactly...what would charlie sykes think should never ever be part of the equation.

Ruth Conniff's piece at the Progressive come to mind first. Relating the FACTS of the investigation, as to the present LEGAL situation, explained so clearly keeps the story front and center and still at a candidate's professional arm's length, so-to-speak.<br /><br />Ignoring the situation that Walker faces and NOT bringing it up publicly lets hired megaphones like Sykes, <b>to define the ALLOWABLE limits of the discussion</b> on the subject of Walker's alleged criminality being behind the Doe(s).<br /><br />Looking at this topic through a slightly wider lens than yours, who then is really kissing Sykes' ass?nonquixotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-21451017040769783562014-06-25T09:17:16.987-05:002014-06-25T09:17:16.987-05:00There is a lot of leeway between 24/7 and not even...There is a lot of leeway between 24/7 and not even an educational power point presentation. Shoot for a bit less melodrama and a touch of reason if you can, please. <br /><br />There are many muddy roads plowed by the governor and his favored state appointees. Scant few of then are being addressed by the Democratic Party on any level. Why? <br /><br />Does the Democratic LEADERSHIP think their base is too stupid to understand? For instance, it is not too hard to connect the dots like Koch oil interests>Enbridge pipeline>Cathy Stepp (public comment not desired permitting)>SKW and then loop back to who is behind a big portion of contributions to Walkers criminal defense fund.<br /><br />nonquixotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-45298815953023297552014-06-25T08:49:48.989-05:002014-06-25T08:49:48.989-05:00So you think Burke and Tate should do 24/7 bogus &...So you think Burke and Tate should do 24/7 bogus "dumpster-'o-fun" garbage while scott walker and his media assets play the "its a partisan witch hunt" card.<br /><br />You just don't get it, do you.<br /><br />If this investigation is going to go anywhere, it will take care of scott walker.<br /><br />If randa's decision is not overturned and the investigation is hushed-up, then it will not be helpful for the dem party and Mary Burke to make this the center of the campaign.<br /><br />Burke's response that she is "disappointed" is a great strategy which allows her to pivot to the failures of this administration.<br /><br />Folks like you play right into republican hands -- go ahead -- slam the dems and Burke all you want.

That's a given. As you put it so well, however, educating the public is their responsibility to constituents. John Caspernoreply@blogger.com
