So who’s running the Republican Party of Wisconsin, dumb and dumber?

Someone should tell the Republican Party of Wisconsin that just because wannabe journalist Chuck Sykes says it on his radio show doesn’t make it so: The Wisconsin Republican Party is retracting its blasting of a fundraiser for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because the event never happened.

The state [...]

Dave Westlake: The Flintstones had it right!

In an interview with Madison’s 27 News, Republican U.S. Senate candidate made it clear he believes the Earth is only thousands of years old, not billions, as is widely accepted by science, saying, “I believe in creationism; I just happen to believe we were created the way we are.” Here’s the rest of what [...]

I really really really want to like Dave Westlake…

I just wish he wouldn’t make it so hard. I have never met Mr. Westlake, and he seems by all accounts to be a very nice person. I also fully respect the campaign he has run(although I dont understand how he can do it), but getting out and meeting people and being willing to [...]

Chairman Johnson: Ron Johnson thinks communist China’s got the right ideas on business

It seems like every time he opens his mouth, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson says something really really stupid. In an interview with the Wisconsin Radio Network on August 30, Johnson made it abundantly clear he believes communist China is a great place to do business, saying, “I’d encourage people to go [...]

Wisconsin’s Elite in the 50 Wealthiest in Congress

Here’s a link to the Hill’s 50 Wealthiest Legislators in Washington!

Somebody there missed Herb Kohl…since the 50th person is at $5.1 million, Senator Kohl should certainly have been on this list. The Milwaukee Bucks alone should put him near the top.

Wisconsin didn’t do too badly:

#26 Representative Jim Sensenbrenner is the Wisconsin [...]

Accountability? Not on Scott Walker’s watch!

Under John Chianelli’s watch, problems at the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex were rampant, finally boiling over when allegations that a violent male patient had sexually assaulted a female patient, resulting in that female patient becoming pregnant, despite the fact that she was supposed to have been getting birth control injections.

Why are Wisconsin’s candidates so unwilling to debate?

Here’s something I’ve been wondering about the 2010 statewide races here in Wisconsin:

Why is it that with the exception of the Republican gubernatorial race, in which Scott Walker and Mark Neumann have actually gotten together to debate the issues, none of the other major contested races (Democratic gubernatorial primary, Republican U.S. Senate primary) [...]

The “tea” parties were an annual event that with enough money from with enough money from the Koch Brothers, and an aggressive free PR campaign from Fox \”news\”, and it seems like these collections of loons are popping up everywhere like dandelions in the spring.

Scott Walker TV ad scandal!!!!

Since folks on both sides of the political spectrum have taken it upon themselves to tear apart the ads being run by the statewide candidates in order to find something to make into an election issue, I figured I’d take a look at a recent ad being run by the Republican Governors Association on [...]
