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.

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