Scott Walker's Cognitive Dissonance About Dissidence

A few weeks ago, Scott Walker's campaign manager, Rick Wiley, made one of the most laughable statements in the presidential campaign season when he said that Walker was "a uniter."

Hmm, Wiley must have somehow missed the above video where Walker brags to billionaire Dianne Hendricks, one of Walker's biggest campaign donors, about how he is going to "divide and conquer" the workers in Wisconsin.

On Saturday, while stumping in Iowa, The Donald also brought up Walker's divisiveness. Walker's campaign quickly tried to poo-poo the idea:

Trump, who has overtaken Walker as the front-runner in the crucial state in recent polls, slammed the Republican governor and his record in Wisconsin, saying "there's tremendous dissension all over the state."

The real estate mogul said that economic growth under Walker has been "terrible."

Trump's comments echoed attacks he has made against Walker in recent weeks.

Until recently, polls showed Walker as the front-runner in Iowa and several other crucial early primary states. But several polls released in the wake of the first GOP debate have shown Walker dropping and Trump surging into a strong lead.

"His growth is terrible in terms of the state," Trump said. "There's tremendous dissension all over the state."

Walker campaign spokeswoman AshLee Strong responded in a statement: "As Governor Walker has said, these are the same failed Democrat talking points that voters rejected by electing him three times in four years. Governor Walker's record speaks for itself... The governor will continue to focus on the real opponent in this race, Hillary Clinton, as he shares his message of reform and results with the people of America."

Ah, so, according to Team Walker, there is no dissidence and we all love Walker.

Yet this is the same campaign that brags about how facing 100,000 protesters made Walker ready to take on ISIS. They also seem to forget about the nearly one million citizens who risked Walker's version of McCarthyism by signing the recall petition.

But Walker is right about the dissension in a warped sort of way.

The dissension against Walker is not just in Wisconsin but all across the country. We see this almost every time Walker stops at a restaurant or other eatery. Even the Walker-friendly Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had to admit that Walker has been facing protesters everywhere in the country where he's been campaigning:

But on the campaign trial, the Walker protests have varied in size, tone, content and flair.

When the governor boarded a GOP dinner cruise on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee in late May, environmental activists trailed him in a motorboat tugging a mock iceberg, holding signs that said, "Even moose understand climate change better than Scott Walker."

At another New Hampshire event, a young man and woman got Walker to pose with them and their pro-Walker sign, only to flip the sign around to show a mock $900 million check from the Koch Brothers to Walker as their photo was snapped.

When Walker stopped in south Philadelphia for cheesesteak sandwiches late last month, two protesters held up off-color signs that showed up in media images of the event. A driver circled the restaurant, yelling, "Go back to Wisconsin, Scott Walker! We don't want your cheese. We got cheese whiz!"

The lightning-rod quality of Walker's candidacy also surfaces in more random encounters.

During Walker's July visit to the Delavan McDonald's where he worked as a teenager, he was embraced by hometown friends and colleagues while a passing driver shouted at him while driving through the lot, calling him a four-letter word and a homophobe.

Perhaps Wiley was correct after all - Walker is a uniter.

He's uniting people all across the country to stand against his extreme Kochiness.

Mark Borkowski's Campaign Keeps Getting Sleazier

On Sunday, I wrote about the questionable mailers from Mark Borkowski, in which he used the images of private citizens without their images and exploited the grieving widow and mother of the late Alderman Joe Dudzik.

Now it has come to my attention that Borkowski's campaign is even sleazier than his mailers.

At a recent fundraiser, Borkowski was lauded by Chris Kliesmet and Orville Seymer, the two goons who make up the highly misnamed Citizens for Responsible Government  (CRG).  Yeah, these are the same two guys who have explored the depths of depravity.

Ironically, these two who made their names infamous with the recall of the late Tom Ament and numerous county supervisors for the pension scandal were touting a man who had voted for the same pension scandal that they supposedly hated.

Adding to the irony is the fact that as they tout Borkowski's fiscal conservatism, Borkowski will be collecting that enriched pension he voted for as he also gets paid $73,000 from city taxpayers.  That's a move called double-dipping, which Republicans like Borkowski denounce - unless it's them doing the dipping.

If that wasn't enough to turn off voters, sources report Borkowski also reportedly has Darlene Wink aiding his campaign.

Yes, that Darlene Wink.  The woman who was arrested, charged and convicted of doing campaign work for Scott Walker on government time and on a government computer.

Given Borkowski's choices in campaign tactics and in friends, he is definitely not someone I would want representing me on any level of government.

I encourage my fellow residents of Milwaukee Aldermanic 11th District to join me on Tuesday to vote for Tim Carpenter for alderman.

Mark Borkowski's Tacky (And Possibly Illegal) Mailers

In May, Milwaukee Alderman Joe Dudzik died in a motorcycle accident.  A special election was called to fill his seat for the remainder of his term.  There were seven candidates that filed for the primary.

State Senator Tim Carpenter and Milwaukee County Supervisor Mark Borkowski won to go on the general election.

Being a resident of that district, I was planning on voting for Carpenter, as I did in the primary.  Carpenter has been a strong advocate for the citizens in his district and a strong supporter of working people. This is why Carpenter earned the endorsement of many labor groups, including AFSCME and the Milwaukee Area Labor Council.

But even if I was in doubt of whom to vote for, two recent mailers from Borkowski would have pushed me into Carpenter's camp.

In one mailer from Borkowski, he attacked Carpenter, Mayor Tom Barrett and the streetcar project.  Keep in mind that Borkowski has long held that the money for the streetcar should be used for something else, even though it would be illegal to do so.  One might think that a lawmaker like Borkowski should know the law, but he is Republican so he apparently thinks, like many of his fellow Republicans, laws don't apply to him.

But when one just looks at the mailer pictured below, one can see even more problems:

The first thing one notices about this mailer is the adolescent way Borkowski put the red circles around Carpenter and Barrett.

The next thing is that there are three other people in that picture.  Those three people are private citizens and happen to be friends of mine.  I know that none of them gave Borkowski permission to use their images in his campaign literature.

Now, I am not a lawyer and don't play one on the internet, but this could be an infringement of my friend's privacy.  And even if Borkowski didn't do anything illegal, per se, he showed great tackiness and tactlessness in using their images without even the common courtesy of asking their permission.

But there's more.  There's always more.

On the same day that the above mailer arrived, I also received this one:

The two women in this picture is Dudzik's mother and his wife.  The man hasn't been gone for three months and he is exploiting them for his political gain?! Talk about tacky and tasteless!

Then again, I had heard that Borkowski was already going to Dudzik's family the same week he died - before any special election was announced - badgering them for their support.  So tastelessness is nothing new for Borkowski.

Add to all of this the fact that Borkowski had announced that he was going to retire and not run in anymore elections.  When confronted on that, Borkowski readily admitted that he is only doing it for the money:

If he wins, it would be mean a significant pay increase for the veteran County Board member. Supervisors are paid nearly $51,000 a year, but that will drop to about $24,000 annually after the spring 2016 elections. A Milwaukee alderman bags an annual salary of $73,222.

Borkowski said that was only one factor in his decision. A conservative, he said he shares a number of the same values as Dudzik.

"I'd be lying if I said money wasn't an issue, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity," he said. "To pass up this opportunity doesn't make sense to me or others."

As I wrote earlier in this article, even if I didn't agree with Carpenter on many key issues, Borkowski eliminated himself from consideration.

I couldn't support someone who admits he's only in the race for the money and who is willing to stoop to such lows as exploiting private citizens and grieving families.

Quote Of The Day

From Bill Maher, who had some advise for Hillary Clinton (emphasis mine):

I love Bernie, but we must assume Hillary is going to be the nominee, and after witnessing the gruesome hundred car pile-up that is the Republican field, I for one am not going to stand idly by and let Hillary blow this thing, and yes, the situation is dire.

Her positives are in free fall with only 37 percent of Americans now viewing Hillary favorably, and 57 percent say she's not trustworthy. If an election were held today, she'd lose key battleground states to Scott Walker, a man who looks like a drunk in a silent movie who's just been punched by mistake.

O Yeah, That Guy!

By Jeff Simpson

Scott Walker denied that politics played any part in his decision to hand the Bucks owners almost $500 million Wisconsin taxpayer dollars!

Walker noted in the interview that one of two major new owners of the Bucks, Marc Lasry, is a “major bundler” of contributions for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Lasry is “putting in $100 million,” Walker said.

“The previous owner, who is putting in $100 million, is a 25-year Senate Democrat (Herb Kohl),” Walker also noted.

“So, it has nothing to do with politics. That’s just ridiculous,” Walker said. “If it was about politics, there is no way I would do this deal. I don’t know the owners. I don’t care about the primary owners. I care about the taxpayers.”

The problem with that statement?  Like many of Scotty's statements is flat out "pants on fire":

A minority owner of the team is Wisconsin business executive Jon Hammes, a longtime Walker supporter and a current co-chair of Walker’s presidential fundraising committee. According to the New York Times, a company registered to one of Hammes’ family members donated $150,000 in May to a super PAC supporting Walker.

I guess we are forced to believe that Scott Walker does not even know his finance co-chair.  

Maybe Scott Walker is trolling all of us!!

Wisconsin Taxpayer Got Fleeced, But Lena Got A Pen

By Jeff Simpson

Today, as we all know, Scot Walker made a guest appearance in Wisconsin, to hand $500 million of our taxpayer dollars to the Milwaukee Bucks. 

Tomorrow, Scott Walker will stand on a stage at State Fair Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and betray virtually every conservative economic principle there is by handing out up to $450 million in taxpayer money to wealthy sports owners to pay for private infrastructure at a time when public infrastructure is crumbling.
The massive sum will go toward the building of a new sports arena for the Milwaukee Bucks basketball franchise, pleasing the team’s billionaire hedge-fund-manager owners, who threatened to move the team if they weren’t given taxpayer tribute. Conservatives in recent years have feigned concern about corporate welfare, and this deal is really the ultimate expression of it: hundreds of millions of dollars from teachers, waitresses, factory workers and shop owners funneled to pay for an aristocrat’s show palace rather than needed public service.
Of all the things desperately wrong with this, perhaps the most salient is the fact that the “old” arena, the BMO Harris Bradley Center, is only 27 years old, inaugurated in 1988. Incredibly, this makes it the 3rd-oldest arena housing a professional basketball franchise, behind only Madison Square Garden in New York and the Oracle Arena in Oakland, both of which have been substantially renovated over the years.

 While many of us are wondering how both parties could sell us out to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars when we know thatr it brings nothing back in return:

However, despite all of the evidence, and the massive cuts to education Scott Walker and the Republicans have brought us the last five years,  Senator Lena Taylor tells us that is all about to change:

Today, Governor Walker signed the Milwaukee Bucks arena funding bill into law. Milwaukee is one step closer to cranes in the sky, jobs on the ground and more money in the state coffers to fund things like public schools.

 See it only took taxpayers, handing billionaire walker donors, $500 million dollars to be able to eventually fully fund education. 

Who knew? 

While Scott walker was able to cash in our millions by getting campaign donations of a few hundred thousand, Ms. Taylor works considerably cheaper.   All it took for her was Scott Walker giving her a pen. 

Lena C. Taylor added 37 new photos.

Signing for the arena deal! The pen - handed to me by Gov Walker.

It is not all bad news, Ms. Taylor can use the pen, to write an oped next year about all of the millions flowing back into education because she helped approve the Bucks Arena.  

Walker Continues To Sink In Polls

Six months ago, when Walker appeared to be taking Iowa by storm, I questioned if he was peaking too early.

It appears that he might have been and now that voters are getting to know him better - especially after his dismal performance in the first debate - Walker has been sinking in the polls.

In Iowa, he went from a commanding lead to a distant third:

After leading the GOP presidential field in Iowa for months, Gov. Scott Walker is no longer on top in the latest polling.

In a survey released Wednesday by CNN/ORC, Donald Trump leads among Republicans in Iowa with 22%, followed by Ben Carson at 14% and Walker at 9%.

Trump also leads Walker in two other Iowa surveys taken since the Aug. 6 GOP debate in Cleveland, where Walker avoided mistakes but turned in a low-profile performance that was overshadowed by some of his rivals.

And yes, the debate did hurt Walker:

Asked in the Suffolk GOP poll in Iowa which candidate impressed them the most in the prime time Fox News debate, 23% said Marco Rubio, 22% said Carson, 11% said Ted Cruz, 11% said Trump, 8% said John Kasich, 6% said Mike Huckabee and only 5% said Walker.

Iowa isn't the only place where Walker is hurting bad.

A poll just released in New Hampshire shows Walker is losing badly there as well:

Voters were asked who they would vote for if the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary were held today. The results indicate that there is no clear front-runner in the race. Donald Trump (19%) appears to hold a very slim lead over Jeb Bush (13%) and John Kasich (12%). Ted Cruz (9%) and Carly Fiorina (9%) also show up strongly in the poll. Rand Paul (down 7-points) and Scott Walker (down 11-points) have both lost ground since the last poll in March, 2015.

This embarrassment couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

Could Scott Walker Keep America Safe?

Scott Walker has been traveling the country desperately trying to convince voters that he is best suited to protect the United States from the evils of Russian President Vladimir Putin and ISIS terrorists because, y'know, he ran away from those 100,000 protesters.

Ironically, Walker has stopped calling the issue national security and has oversimplified it to one word - safety.

I say it's ironic because Walker's record on safety has not been very good.

As Milwaukee County Executive, Walker mismanaged the county's House of Correction so badly that it was slammed in a federal audit. Another audit, done by the county itself, found that the problem was Walker's false austerity:

The county audit shows that HOC was originally supposed to have been authorized for 349 guards in Walker's 2007 budget. He then remembered his one trick pony act, and decided to cut $1.5 million dollars from their budget. HOC ended up with only 318 correction officers. Due to this deficit in the work force, officers were forced to work up to 800+ hours of overtime, each, that year. A full 75% of that was forced overtime.

The cost for all that overtime was $4.2 million. That means for every dollar that Walker tried to save the tax payer, that same taxpayer ended up paying three times as much. How is that being fiscally responsible?

The audit goes on to recommend that the County hire on an additional 23 officers. This would cost $1.3 million, but would have more than half off set by the savings in overtime benefits.

Walker's response is not to hire all of the staff needed. Gotta save that money, you know. Well, not really. He is considering giving them a pay raise. (On a side note, while this is a good thing, odds are that Milwaukee County Corrections Officers pay will be still be way behind that of other counties across the state.)

These shortages created unsafe conditions for both inmates and guards. At this time, there were a streak of escapes from the facility, further endangering the unwary public.

Well, as they say, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And Walker is as poor of a student as anyone could find.

As governor, Walker has endangered public safety by mismanaging the Department of Corrections the same way he did as county executive. The results were predictable:

Columbia Correctional Institution, about 45 miles north of Madison, opened in 1986 on 110 acres of land on the outskirts of Portage. As a maximum-security facility, it houses some of the state’s most violent offenders. Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who was beaten to death in 1994 by a fellow inmate, was held there. CCI’s official operating capacity is 541, but overcrowding has been a perennial issue. The facility housed 839 inmates in 2014, according to its annual report for that year. In all, the prison employs 342 people, including guards, administration and civilian staff.

According to the 2014 annual report, CCI should have 233 sergeants and officers on staff. But the Department of Corrections reported that last May, CCI was 53 positions short, compared with 15 vacancies a year earlier.

All three guards interviewed for this report maintained that the number of open positions at the institution has at times exceeded 70. While the staffing shortage is most acute at CCI, other institutions are feeling the pinch as well.

Fox 11 News in Green Bay recently obtained records that show a dramatic increase in guard staff vacancies statewide since Act 10 became law in 2011. In 2010, Fox 11 reported, there were 88 full-time guard openings in the state’s correctional facilities. This past spring there were 403.

On top of that, Walker has decided to stop manning guard towers at night. What could possibly go wrong?

The staffing shortage has gotten so bad that the state is now offering extra overtime, mileage reimbursements and lodging to get guards to stay on the job and to attract new guards.

All of this raises the question that if Walker can't even maintain public safety in his own state, how are we to believe he could keep the whole country safe from external threats?

Walker Says "See My Policies", Forgets He Has None

From TPM:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Monday directed Fox News viewers to his campaign website to see where he stands on certain issues, yet his website appears to lack a clear landing page where supporters can read about the presidential candidate's policy stances and proposals.

While discussing the media's focus on Donald Trump on Fox News' "America's Newsroom," Walker said that people should focus on the details of the candidates' policy ideas.

"The overall media frenzy across this country, from one network to the next, is focusing on one person when we really should be talking about what we’re for and what plans we have to make this country great again. I hope people join us at ScottWalker.com and see the details, not about what we think about another candidate, but what we think about making this country great again," Walker said.

The article points out that Politico found Walker's website to be wanting:

Scott Walker
Issue page? No
What's online: There's a chance to "Meet Scott" via a bio page subtitled: "Humble Beginnings. Bold Ideas." On his news page are links to campaign statements slamming President Obama's climate change regulations and Hillary Clinton's Cuba policy. Visitors can also pick up a $299 personalized autographed copy of Walker's latest book. But what they can't find is anything definitive or substantive about what the Wisconsin governor would do in the White House.

Apparently, his webmaster couldn't figure out how to post flip-flopping and punting as policies.

But being the helpful kind of guy that I am, here is a link to Walker's actual policies page.

Fox Stacked The Deck For Walker In Debate, Walker Still Lost

Yes, yes, I know that the first GOP debate was days ago and is old news, but this was just too important not to share, IMHO.

Fox News had apparently stacked the deck to favor Scott Walker in the debate.

In May, Fox announced the debate and the requirements for the candidates to participate in them. Included in those requirements was that the candidates had to "file all necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC)."

Most of the candidates complied with these requirements. Scott Walker did not. He didn't file his FEC paperwork until the day before the debate.

Yet, despite Walker not complying with their own rules, Faux Newz gave Walker the third seat at the debate. Other candidates who followed the rules were demoted to the little kids debate table.

Pretty sketchy, right? Ah, but as with all things Walker. There's more. There's always more.

After the debate, Faux Newz had their squawking heads discuss the debate. One of the consultants, Marck Thiessen, couldn't praise Walker enough that night or the day after:

Thiessen also heavily praised Walker during an August 7 appearance on America's Newsroom, claiming that "the obvious winners are Bush and Walker because they were in the lead so they didn't need to hit home runs, and they both put in strong performances, especially Walker, I think, had a great moment when he took on -- jumped in and took on Hillary Clinton, which, I think, there was not enough of that in the debate last night."

However, as Media Matters reports, Faux Newz failed to mention that Thiessen was the ghost writer for Walker's "autobiography." Likewise, they didn't report that Thiessen is also an adviser to Walker's campaign:

The Washington Post, where Thiessen works as a columnist, reported on March 6 that "Walker is also seeking counsel from several hawks from George W. Bush's administration -- including Abrams, Bush's deputy national security adviser, and Marc A. Thiessen, a Post columnist and former Bush speechwriter known for his staunch defense of waterboarding and other interrogation tactics barred by President Obama. Walker selected Thiessen to co-write his 2013 book, 'Unintimidated,' and the two men became confidants during hours of Skype conversations each weekend."

Politico reported in February that Walker "said he sat down for three-and-a-half hours of foreign policy meetings" including with Thiessen.

New York Daily News Washington Bureau reporter Cameron Joseph criticized Fox News on Twitter, writing: "Curious how Marc Thiessen can be on Fox right now analyzing the debate. He co-wrote Scott Walker's book, and they don't even ID him as such."

Yet despite all the help that Faux Newz gave to Walker, he still was the biggest loser of the debate.

I'll give Walker one thing. He always find new and unique ways to be an embarrassment.

Social Worker Killed In The Line Of Duty

On Friday afternoon, a child welfare worker in Vermont ended her day and was going home.  She never made it.

On her way to her car, she was shot and killed in cold blood:

A mom who lost custody of her 9-year-old girl less than a month ago used a high-caliber hunting rifle to kill the social worker involved in her case as the state employee left the office for the day, authorities said.

Witnesses tackled Jody Herring at about 4:45 p.m. ET Friday outside of a downtown office building that houses a Vermont Department for Children and Families office, Barre police Chief Tim Bombardier said late Friday. They had seen her take two shots at close range at Lara Sobel, who had worked for the agency more than 15 years.

Sobel died at the scene.

Herring, who is now in state custody, lost custody of her daughter July 10, Bombardier said. The child remains in state care; Herring will be arraigned Monday.

"We're doing the best we can to support our staff," agency Commissioner Ken Schatz said. "Any sort of death is a tragedy. In this situation we lost one of our own."

This woman's husband and little daughter will never get to see her again, never feel her touch again, never hear her voice again.

This hits close to home for a couple of reasons.

One, I did child welfare work for Milwaukee County for six and a half years. During that time, I have been verbally abused, threatened and even assaulted once.

Secondly, on Wednesday, the building I work at had to be evacuated due to a bomb scare. This was the third time in the past few years that we had to leave due to safety concerns.

Despite the dangers of the job, there are a lot of people - way too many people - that see public sector workers as the enemy.

People who cheer on Scott Walker as he falsely brags of "taking on the special interests" of public sector unions.  The people he attacked are your neighbors, your relatives, your friends.  People like me.

Instead of giving us the support and the respect we need to do our jobs to the best of our abilities, we get pilloried, we have our pay cut, we have our rights taken away and our safety further imperiled.   We see our budgets cut annually, leaving us to trying to do more with less until something tragic happens.  Even then, instead of giving us what we need, we get attacked some more.

Fortunately, not all people or politicians are as myopic and hateful as Walker and his supporters.  From the article:

"I am beside myself," said state Senate President Pro Tempore John Campbell, a Democrat from Windsor, Vt. "These men and women put their lives on the line each day, and we don't understand the serious nature of these cases.

"This could happen in any state office or court," said Campbell, who is also a state prosecutor. "We do not pay them enough and respect them enough."

Hopefully, these politicians are doing more than just lip service and will actually do something about it. It is a shame that something like this has to happen to wake people up.

We've got all we can do to keep the public safe and make sure we get home to our families that we don't need to worry about being attacked by greedy, hate-filled politicians on top of it.

The right wing's war on the public sector serves no one and harms everyone.  It must stop now.

Walker's Convenient Case of Amnesia

For months, Scott Walker has been attacking Hillary Clinton on her alleged email scandal, to the point of saying she would be a "deceiver in chief" if she were elected.

Meanwhile, he has totally ignored that he had been the subject of a John Doe investigation that revealed that while he was Milwaukee County Executive, he had a secret email system - including a secret router - that he and his staff used for illegal campaigning and fundraising.

Finally, after all this time, the mainstream media got around to asking him about his hypocrisy.

His response can be summarized as "That was then, this is now." However, this is just another lie, since his long time aide and ally, Cindy Archer, has made it current news again with her frivolous lawsuit.

But then he added this jaw-dropper:

Records filed this week in federal court revealed prosecutors were investigating Walker for misconduct in office over a proposed real estate deal when he was Milwaukee County executive.

Walker said Friday that he didn't know he was a target of the lengthy investigation until this week.

"The information they said, the paper they released was new to us," Walker said at a campaign stop the day after Thursday's GOP presidential debate. "We point out this is something that's been over for more than two years, and it's a done deal."

Wait, wut?!

So the millions of dollars that he raised and spent on his legal defense fund, the time he gave a disposition in front of the John Doe judge and all the questions and open records were done for the fun of it? When he asked for immunity and didn't get it, that meant nothing to him?

I know that Walker loves to play the plausible deniability routine to the hilt but someone better wake him up to the fact that that ship has sailed long ago.

The GOP Debate - The Musical

Thursday's GOP debate gets the Songify treatment:

WISGOP Pushing Walker, Guns, Racism At State Fair

A couple of years ago, James Rowen reported that there was some unsavory and tasteless gear at the WISGOP booth at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Yesterday, my wife and I made it to the fair for a few hours.  When we passed the WISGOP booth, it was obvious that they had not matured and had not developed any kind of sense of appropriateness:

I do wonder if the positioning of the gun shirts near the Walker shirts was deliberate or done subconsciously.

They also had a shirt (not pictured) that said they respect local law enforcement, an obvious dig at the #blacklivesmatter movement.

Stay classy, Republicans. Stay classy.
