Craig, think of how vitriolic and content-free your post is!

Maybe his last name is Patzfahl...

What's the problem Bren (da)?
Are you from Illinois?
Come to think of it that explains a lot.

@CowDung -

Nice, very nice!

Craig your are a neo-McCarthyite.

No, Craig (da), not from Illinois. 15 incidences of voter fraud in 2010 in our state, none of which would have been prevented by the ALEC Voter ID law. I think Walker has more to worry about from 1. the constituents he's alienated, 2. well-intentioned supporters who fan the flames of controversy and indignation, and 3. (and most importantly) his own moral/character compass.

I surmise the only "flatlanders" who cross the border to support "the base" will be ensconced in a comfy coach emblazoned "Tea Party Express, sponsored by Americans for Prosperity."

As a business owner, i'm surprised Barrett got 7%.

The 7% came from those that get government contracts that requires union labor.

Good to see the Independents are breaking for Tom Barrett.

But, sad to say that only land lines were called.

....A new poll taken by pollster Celinda Lake — who is a Democrat but is well respected by polling professionals — has found that the battle between Scott Walker and challenger Tom Barrett is now deadlocked, at 49 percent each.

The poll — which will be released later today and was comissioned by the pro-labor Greater Wisconsin Committee’s political fund — also finds that independents are breaking towards Barrett, 49-44.......

I admire your drive to drink the kool-aid

I just conducted a poll in my office. Governor Walker is leading 100% to 0%, +/- 0%.
The poll was of definite voters and I paid for it.

Yep! And the Barrett supporters are amazingly quite on this FACT!!!

Barrett blew it - the only thing cooking today is the egg on Barrett's face!

Anyone actually think that he'll apologize for lying to us?

OOps,
"We have researched this. We've gone back over two decades. We have never found another year in the past two decades when Wisconsin lost more jobs than any other state in this country. But it has lost more jobs than any other state in the country under Scott Walker's leadership," Barrett said.

"So, while these regular numbers clearly show that Wisconsin leads the nation in jobs loss on his watch, Walker is desperate to distract from his worst in the country jobs record. In a move that is virtually unheard of, Scott Walker is suddenly trotting out an altogether new set of unverified numbers 20 days before the election to mask his economic failure," Barrett said.

"These numbers are purely political numbers," Barrett said. "He wants these to be the gospel, rather than numbers that have been verified."

Thursdays debate should be interesting. I give a thumbs down so Governor Walker should take Barrett's head.

Umm.... Lynn, you must have missed the news about the Fed confirming Walker's revised jobs numbers as being correct. That's right, Barrett LIED to you when he said that Walker was "cooking the books." I really do hope that you're smarter than to fall for Barrett's lies.

That's why if you're against Walker, then the clear alternative is Hari Trivedi. Don't get hoodwinked by Tom Barrett again - vote Trivedi on June 5th!

how many more articles can you copy and paste these lies into Lynn?

Add this to your bag. What about Walkers pawn queen Hendricks not paying any taxes. Lets see the 2010 taxes are due April 15th 2011 and Walkers tax breaks for the rich went into effect January 2011. Any concidence there that a billionnaire is on "state welfare"? Coincidence that she donated $510 to Walker? Hendricks to Walker...You divide and conquor the unions and IRS. Walker to Hendricks.....check please.

@Hoffa

The feds said it is only the 2011 number verified or supposedly verified. What about the 5 months this year?

Walker tax cuts went into effect January 2012 and beyond. Your 2010 taxes are factored against 2010 tax law, Walker was in office January 2011. So either you want to believe there is a boogie man in the room or you are the kind that shouldn't be allowed to manage money.

If you read the article and understand business you would get past the misleading headline. I don't have time to explain the rest to you, as a producer and job creator I don't need to educate the common workers in the crowd. Your accountant can explain the rest.

@Mike -

1) Way to try and shift the subject away from Barrett's lies with something completely irrelevant about Hendricks. But you're right, Walker's tax breaks didn't go into effect until Hendricks fiscal 2012, so it must have been Doyle that permitted her to pay no income taxes for 2010! So, where's your outrage against Doyle? And isn't Barrett saying that he would go back to the way things were - so how exactly can you support Barrett if you're actually upset about the Hendricks tax situation as you claim to be? Are you trying to pull some kind of trick on us?

2) Barrett was talking about the 2011 numbers, remember? Here, let me refresh your memory - "We have never found another YEAR in the past two decades when Wisconsin lost more jobs than any other state in this country. But it has lost more jobs than any other state in the country under Scott Walker's leadership." (Emphasis added). In answering a question about 'jobs lost LAST YEAR' from Ed Schultz on a broadcast of MSNBC's The Ed Show, Barrett replied "[h]e's cooking the books, Ed. There's no question that these are figures that he just dreamed up 30 days before the election."

Fed confirmed Walker's numbers for 2011 are correct. Numbers for this year thus far come from the same sources that the Fed confirmed numbers from last year came from. Barrett is a LIAR - but in all fairness, lies are all he has to campaign on.

Try again!

Wasn't the job numbers issue really about the fact that jobs created were not measured against job loss in the same period? When this occurs we see an approximate "wash." We need to keep the jobs we have and grow more (obviously). As long as middle class income continues to dwindle (or be locked up by new recession-caused debt), buying power will not be restored. Without customers no business can succeed (obviously). That's why Right to Work for Less is such a bad, short-sighted idea.

Ms. Hendricks has participated in a number of Koch brothers-funded events. She's as much a part of the "Sedition for Profit" initiative as any of the others (Koch, Abelson, et al).

Did Ed apologize for lying about job numbers in Wisconsin?

I heard on NPR yesterday that they're probably going to be sending Clinton (Bill, not the other one) instead. Hide the wimmens.

@Steve -

Not a word about jobs at all from Ed in his Wisconsin segment last night, which is a complete about face from his usual rant. Apparently, the strategy is if we don't talk about it, no one will notice that Barrett LIED and Walker was right.

As if MSNBC's credibility wasn't already in the toilet, Ed (and Barrett) were floating last night - and Walker will flush their asses on June 5th!!! Unfortunately, there are plenty of lemmings out there, so Ed will continue to spew lies on his show and quietly attempt to cover them up.

Scott Walker was elected 3 times in Democrat territory so you know he was doing things right. Now as governor, his reforms are working.
www.reforms.wi.gov
We're a middle-class working family who supports Scott Walker because he stands with us.

I disagree. I voted for Walker the first time and won't make that mistake again. Many teachers and unions voted for Walker and won't this time around. It is a dead heat right now.

Says the guy that thinks becuase you can file taxes as late as April 2011 for fiscal year 2010, 2011 tax law is now in effect.

Is it just easier being brain dead these days?

fooledagain (by the Liberals), Wind farms take a looooooooong time for their ROI (return on investment). They have never been as efficient as the Liberals like to let on.

Go on and on with what exactly?

The same old party line propaganda, rhetoric, and talking points that we've all already heard a million times?

Do you honestly think that your spin of certain issues equates to facts? What objective submissions of mine are not substantiated exactly?

Perhaps if you actually tried making some objective submissions of your own, as opposed to subjective submissions, we'd have something to debate.

See my exchanges with Bren on the Patch boards for an example of true objective debates. If you wish to challenge any of my objective submissions, then please do so on those boards and I'll respond as is convenient. But I don't have the time or the will to repost all of my objective submissions here for you - sorry. Also, we try to stay on topic the subject addressed in the article, although not always successfully. Just click my name and you'll see all of my posts on the different Patch boards (articles/blogs/stories/etc), if you're so inclined!

Cheers!
