Driving around and seeing the giant pro-Walker signs paid for by people in Florida, New York, and Texas makes me wonder: where do these wealthy donors --and Wisconsin's own citizens -- "stand with Scott Walker"? Do they stand in the unemployment line with the thousands of Wisconsinites who can't find a job that will support their families? Are they standing with a young mother who can't take her sick child to the doctor after losing their BadgerCare? Will they be there to help a first-grader learn to read in his class of 35 kids? Are they with the student on a tech school waiting list because of Walker's 30 percent cuts to those programs? Are they standing with arms around the woman who has undiagnosed cervical cancer because Planned Parenthood can no longer provide her annual exam? Or will they be standing in a Milwaukee courtroom if/when Walker is charged in the John Doe investigation?The facade that Walker has been trying to hold up through the campaign is falling down about him and all the money in the world won't stop it.
Watch and listen to Walker the next time he talks about all the jobs he has created, and then look at the actual statistics on Wisconsin jobs over the past 16 months. If you are happy with our steady march to the bottom since his budget took effect and the blatant lies he continues to tell, then continue to stand with him. It's clear to the rest of us that the emperor has no clothes.

With Whom Do You Stand? Wisconsin or Walker?
Here's an excerpt from a well-written letter to the editor by Cheryl Andrist of Rhinelander, which appears in The Northwoods River News:

Epic letter. Wish I had written it myself.
ReplyDeleteCHeryl stop buying a crybaby and better yourself, get a life. Most of your letter is lies and hyperbole, something the left thrives on. Scott Walker has stood up to the unions and has out Wisconsin back on track, I suggest you get off the pity pot and join the rest of us who are moving Forward.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're moving forward to the front of the spelling class. Then we will talk about your lack of forensics skills.
