And Never Shall They Meet

Bruce Murphy points out in this week's version of his "Murphy's Law" column that it has been the Democratic governors that have lowered taxes in Wisconsin and the Republican governors, like TOMMY!!! "I can't make up my mind" Thompson that have been spending like drunken sailors (no offense to drunken sailors).

He ends that part of his topic with the money quote:

So now Scott Walker is running for governor, arguing that Doyle has been a big spender. The reality is that Doyle has been considerably more frugal than Thompson, and Walker as a legislator voted for Thompson’s budgets. But reality doesn’t always have a lot to do with political campaigns.

With all due respect to Mr. Murphy, whatever Walker says doesn't always have a lot to do with reality.
