The Low Bar of the Right!


When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.
Japanese Proverb


The last year in Wisconsin has brought us dismal job numbers, no matter how you look at itWisconsin has a declining public school system and crumbling infrastructure. Wisconsin  actually has a bigger deficit than when Scott Walker took office, we just kicked the can down the road.    We also have the only Governor in the country with a legal defense fund, and his top staffers keep getting convicted!  

You would think people would see what is actually happening in Wisconsin and not want to be associated with us.

When it comes to our friends on the right, you would be wrong.

They look at the devastation that Scott Walker has wrought on WI and are proud

Some loony right wing group had the audacity to name Scott Walker "Conservative of the Year".

I think they need to look up the definition of the word "conservative"!

  1. All good points! But I cannot help but reflect on the austerity that Obama has agreed to inflict on seniors through the stealth-cuts of chained CPI.

    It is only the looneys on the right wing that have prevented him from doing this (for all the wrong reasons).

    I see nothing on this site about this great betrayal of FDR's legacy-- by a "Democrat."

    You climbed onboard the 2012 election Democrat "train of fear" and blew the horn repeatedly. Now you are silent when YOUR CANDIDATE puts the knife into his supposed constituents.

    Why the silence?

    1. Call your congress people and senators about this, please and tell them you don't want the chained CPI stuff. The more of us who call, the better off we'll be.

  2. 1. because it has nothing to do with this topic

    2. because he has not done so yet. Wait until a final deal is reached and we will comment then. RIght now he is playing chess and imbeciles like paul ryan and john boehner are playing checkers.

  3. That picture of Walker on election night in 2010 was so telling. It revealed who he truly is- an evil political sociopath.

  4. When Walker is indicted do they put an asterisk after his name?

    Reagan deserves "Man of the Century" just for having the brass to run a drug-smuggling and money-laundering operation out of the White House basement, and all that while selling missiles to the Iranians too. Give the man credit, he was a multi-tasker, and the faux senility was a brilliant ruse.
