(44,555 posts)Barrett: Based on Walker's numbers, WI has lost more jobs than any state, changed how the job loss is counted. Numbers have never been verified.
Walker: Our reforms are working, based on 3.5 per cent of employers. Required to be submitted by law, but that doesn't equal verification. Ragging on Milwaukee poorest city -- but Milwaukee is part of Wisconsin, isn't it?
I give this round to BARRETT.

(44,555 posts)Walker: Private/Government partnership, could create jobs
Barrett: It's a actually venture capital bill. Walker not interested in working with people. He would have brought in all sides and asked o we need this mine? Can we make it work? Did not roll up his sleeves
EVEN.

(44,555 posts)Walker: Wants to keep taxes as they are, property taxes have gone down, tax incentives...
Barrett: Milwaukee unemployment went up even higher when Walker was Country Executive and approved budget. Homestead act is a tax increase that hits seniors on fixed income. Budget surplus, if it exists, by using credit card that future generations will have to pay for.
KNOCKDOWN BARRETT!

(44,555 posts)Barrett: 90 percent of his contributions within states. Walkers 60-70 per cent out of state. What makes you think they care? Ideological civil war. WI is to be the prototype for the Tea Party state.
Walker: Millions spent trying to knock out six Republicans, money from the Democrat Governors Association. He's trying to put power back into hands of the taxpayers.
KNOCKDOWN BARRETT!

(44,555 posts)Walker: I earned the rank of eagle scout. My office asked for investigation
Barrett: only gove with criminal defense lawyer. Key aides have been charged; internal network, secret computer system. Sent email saying it was bad PR. Who is paying his legal bills?
Due to the eagle scout remark, Barrett in a walkover.

BARRETT: Believes in marriage equality as a civil right. switches to Lilly Ledbetter law. Walker repealed it.
WALKER: Constitution defines marriage as heterosexual.
BARRETT in a walkover.

(44,555 posts)Walker: Talking about schools buying health insurance? Merit should drive hiring.
Barrett: Walker took 1.6 billion from k-12, tech school took 30% cut. Wants kids to leave college without buckets of debt. Walker tried to pit state colleges against each other, which would have driven up tuition. Shouldn't be fishing for out of state students.
I give this round to BARRETT.

(19,178 posts)He's the worst kind of Republican. Full of shit but knows how to hide it.

(44,555 posts)Barrett: Mothers shouldn't have to go emergency rooms if they don't a primary care physicians. Continue to invest in Badger Care, Walker tried to abolish Badger Care for seniors.
Walker: Invested more in Medicare than any gov in WI history...Barrett has talking points but no plan.
I give his round to WALKER.

(44,555 posts)Walker: Once we're past June 5, we can move forward. People don't know what we've accomplished because it working.
Barrett: Establish trust. Don't lie about job numbers, budget cuts. I reached out to people who are my political enemies. Punishing political enemies is not the way to make progress.
I give this round to BARRETT.

Barrett: He didn't answer question about money raised out of state.
Barrett: I have the courage to say no to my friends. I will be rock solid, not a rock star...I will work on job creation...I will take on all powerful interests...
Walker: He got a Democrat's vote because he took on powerful interest. Moms and dad...farms and factories...clothes on the back on iour kids...Let's move forward... yawn...

(3,322 posts)and I agree that Barrett did well, but Walker is such a slick, accomplished liar that I can see how he has a lot of people voting for him. By people, I mean GOPers.
