AFP’s odd new “It’s Working” ad (VIDEO)
This week the AFP debuted a new “It’s Working” ad in support of Republican Gov. Scott Walker – presumably because Gov. Walker’s having a bad week. The ad rehashes many of the same tired talking points we’ve heard time and time again in support of Gov. Walker, and I find…
Scott Walker’s having a rough couple of days
Yesterday I noted the Wall Street Journal was reporting Gov. Scott Walker may be negotiating with John Doe prosecutors, despite all his claims to be innocent of any wrongdoing. As if that’s not bad enough news for Gov. Walker, he also took a hard shot from Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Mary…

The Republicans are the Joke
Senator Scott Brown recently gave a speech and drew some laughs… See the republican presidential field was not being laughed with, they were being laughed at. Even their own party knows that how crazy these four stooges are. So that being said, if you want a day filled with comedy,…

AFP, reality t.v., and Wisconsin GOP
I had an epiphany at the Americans For Prosperity Town Hall meeting here in Waukesha on Saturday morning. I realized that marketing, not facts, wins elections. In our collaborative post, Phil Scarr and I provided fancy charts and graphs to dispute many of the AFP’s factually inaccurate statements, and we…
