What He Meant To Say!

By Jeff Simpson


Mike Tate then:

Gang- I often promote the FB pages of all Dems running for an office, especially higher profile offices. More of a public service. Did the same thing in 2010, 12 and now. Not an endorsement. We promote Democrats running for office. If another serious candidate for Governor announces you’ll see myself and the party do the same thing. If you want someone else to run, go ask them to do so. Additionally there is no primary at this time and isn’t unless someone else enters it. So much as with Tammy Baldwin last year the party will promote Mary’s candidacy and should another serious candidate enter the race would promote that candidates activities too. Don’t remember anyone complaining about us promoting Tammy prior to her receiving full support of the party. No difference here.

Mike Tate now(emphasis mine):

A month before their annual convention, top officials with the state Democratic Party have officially endorsed gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke in her bid to challenge Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
The party's Administrative Committee voted unanimously on Sunday to back Burke -- a former Trek Bicycle executive and one-time aide to Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle -- over state Rep. Brett Hulsey in the governor's contest. The committee is the party's central governing body, meeting quarterly.
Hulsey, a Madison Democrat, complained that party leaders unilaterally made the decision to back his primary opponent rather than his underfunded campaign. The endorsement comes weeks before the Democratic Party convention will be held in Wisconsin Dells on June 6-7.
"Apparently, they prefer a selection to an election, which seems a little undemocratic to me," said Hulsey, a long-shot candidate for the state's top post.
Democratic Party officials have not even listed Hulsey as a candidate on their official website. He also is not being invited to speak at the convention. 
Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate said it was an easy choice.

Overall message - Send us your money and Do NOT question us!  

Do I support Hulsey?  - No
Would Burke get the endorsement at the convention over Hulsey? - Yes

Currently Bret Hulsey is a Democratic Elected official, so now you see how you get treated if you stray from the reservation and WHY no one else was willing to step up to challenge Mary Burke.

Where is Donald Driver anyway?  

What State Do These Guys Live In?

It surely is NOT Wisconsin, unless of course the editorial staff was to busy watching Donald Driver in Dancing with the Stars.  In one of their most ridiculous editorials ever, they argue that endless recalls hurt Wisconsin.  The problem with that of course, is that it is a false premise!  

No one wants endless recalls, hell we would like our politicians to explain to us what they planned on doing when they were campaigning.   Unfortunately Scott Walker did the exact opposite.  When you govern so egregiously, and lie so blatantly, you become subject to a recall by the citizens.   When there are numerous videos like this out there and you make phone calls like this - this happens and recalls are justified.    

On the other hand, when you try and recall politicians who are governing according to the will of the people, the extremists might try and recall them, but those recall efforts will crash and burn.  

So your premise that we will have "endless recalls" is false.  This state has proven that if a politician is doing their job, they will not be subject o being recalled and if they are not they will face the will of the people before their term is up.  

In case you do not believe me, just look at Shril LaBarre, she tried to recall the honorable Senator Jauch and despite having unlimited resources, massively failed!   

Endless recalls would hurt the state of Wisconsin, but since we have proven that to be impossible, we see what really hurts Wisconsin is politicians who say one thing and govern according to ALEC. When a Governor's main governing strategy is to "divide and conquer." 

This recall is more than justified.  Please vote Tom Barrett on June 5th!
