I'm not ...I truly hope you're right, Jake. I'm not too far down to think that we should just hand Walker the election. Leads within the margin of error are also deceptive. Unfortunately, I've seen more of the "Walker is pulling ahead slightly" types of stories than the same about when Burke was "pulling ahead" among likely voters. Anyway, the point is taken. You have cheered me up a bit at a moment I felt like defeating Walker was a lost cause.

The crook who's gotten New Jersey downgraded SEVEN TIMES through his mismanagement?

The money has moved in from the NRA to Christie's PAC. Mary is the most formidable person we could have pitted against Walker, but Walker never breaks a sweat. He knows that lying and cheating on his behalf will send his "annointed one" ass back into the governorship.

Anyone with a lick of common sense knows he is employed by a business enterprise with the sole purpose of making a profit for its wealthy, conservative owners who do not live in my city...or county. He carries their water and the conservative agenda. The newspaper looses readership every day thank goodness. The print media is a dinosaur and extinction is its fate. I feel sorry for the employees but the profiteers and propagandist who run the show can go to hell.

The editors have figured out they, like many citizens, were had by Walker assertions that the measure was only prompted by the need to fix the budget. Never minding contemporaneous offers from the unions to voluntarily accept contract reductions. But their salaries and benefits weren't even factors in the budget shortfall, which was way overstated since it included agency budget increase requests the governor and legislature almost never accept, no matter who they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-6951084637663103492014-09-17T09:33:41.662-05:002014-09-17T09:33:41.662-05:00Scott Walker is a mistake.
