Come back to us, John Belushi

It seems to me that morale amongst Wisconsin Democrats and progressives is low these days regarding our chances to defeat Walker in the November election, so I thought maybe we could all use a little inspiration.

  1. Thanks Steve for a message from a mythical but humorous animal house to Walker’s real one of no laughing matter.

  2. Don’t you guys believe your own polls? No reason to be gloomy. Sure the Republicans are going to through everything thev’ve got at the up coming elections. But our chances are stlll good. If the tea party can do it to the establishment, certainly progressives can and will.

    1. Of course, the Marquette poll and several others showing Democrats polling well in states across the nation. I realize these things bounce from week to week, but that’s no reason, in my mind, to lose hope.

  3. CK,

    I didn’t write that people had lost all hope, I wrote that I thought morale was low. Morale will be high again soon when the next batch of John Doe II documents are released, and will then be low again when people realize that Walker isn’t going to be charged with anything before November, if at all.

    1. “Morale will be high again soon when the next batch of John Doe II documents are released,”

      Bullseye.

      “and will then be low again when people realize that Walker isn’t going to be charged with anything before November,”

      Bullseye

      “if at all.”

      I agree.

      Hope we’re both wrong.

      Have no idea why Burke4WI isn’t doing an ad on this from March:

      “County staff shared sex assault victim name with Scott Walker political aides”

      “While Scott Walker was Milwaukee County executive, his staff freely shared the name of a sexual assault victim and details about her case with political operatives, recently released emails show….”

      http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/watchdogreports/county-staff-shared-sex-assault-victim-name-with-scott-walker-political-aides-b99235336z1-252997631.html

      From Gov. Walker:

      “The only comment I am going to say about all of this, on all of this, because I am not going through 27,000 pages of stuff, is that a Democratic district attorney looked at all that information and interviews … and ultimately issued charges against the people that they did and concluded that legal process as of March last year,’ Walker said.”

      Here’s an email Gov. Walker sent to Mark Belling:

      “From: skw@scottwalker.org
      To: Mark Belling
      Subject: Fw: weishan
      Date: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 7:59:16 AM Attachments: SCAN7701 000.pdf
      The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is looking to do a story on this (likely Thursday) Open Records Request. On May 25th, Sup John Weishan asked for a very broad range of requests (see page 3). To fulfill the request, county IT staff had to spend 10 hours, 53 minutes and 23 seconds to copy 30.558 GB of data from stored browser cache files and 24 hours of staff time between three people to process the data for those specific URLs and then to create a report.
      After all of that work, the report showed that four people in our office look at a conventional website to read updated press releases about the county. Pretty normal.
      Weishan is grumbling because the cost of the 4 page report is $2,816.61. But this represents the actual cost to the county for the report.
      In other words, Weishan wasted $2,816.61 on a political attack that didn’t produce anything. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

      As anyone who has read the emails that have been released knows, that’s a lie. Gov. Walker as County Exec ordered “County IT staff” to do a report which he knew was bogus before he wrote the work order. He knew County IT staff didn’t know about his secret router. He knew their report would verify information that was false and incomplete.

      Below is a “mid pm news update,” that all of Walker’s County workers (Rindfleisch, Cindy Archer, Tom Nardelli, Tim Russell, …..) HAD to read as a condition of their employment for him. Walker’s a Milwaukee County employee. He’s likewise not paid to read the newspaper “on the clock.”

      Anyone who has gone through the emails, has seen tons of these “news updates,” exactly the issue that Sup. Weishan raised.

      Gov. Walker was giving Mark Belling (WISN wingnut) information that the County Exec knew was false, so that Belling could pump it out over the taxpayer funded FCC controlled airwaves. Somewhere in there is a crime.

  4. The way moneyed interest have stacked the courts over the years, I give no credence to any Progressive legal action. Boehner is suing the President because he realizes the GOP legal advantage.

    After Act 10, Citizen’s United and McCrutcheon, etc., etc. It would seem that Democrats would concentrate on getting their vote out and that means confronting the media 24/7 with an attractive program, and making sure that voting and voting machines are reliable. Make no mistake, the GOP and constituency,/B> think that stealing an election is just as good, if not better, than winning one.
