Watergate crook running a Wisc AG campaign & a 527 at same time
John King, one of the Watergate folks, is running the GOP campaign for Paul Bucher. He wants to be Atty Gen.
King also runs the Coalition for Family 527 group which also made a TV ad comparing the current Wisc governor to Nixon.
The GOP in Wisconsin is stinky bad. Poopy liars and we need all the help we can get to stay a blue state.
We really need help in ousting the GOP controlled state legislature who has obstructed campaign reforms.
(The Wisc Speaker, John Gard, the obstructionist GOP operative, is running for the 8th Congressional District, openend when Bushie lapdog, Mark Green decided to run for Governor).

Polls are showing that the Dems have a 10 pt lead over the GOP candidates in nearly all major state races, but with corrupt Watergate era crooks running campaigns and funneling money from who knows where into who knows what, November may be a bit strange.

1. The GOP is a criminal enterprise period.
Money laundering in Texas, election fraud in California, Florida and Ohio (that we can demonstrate), they lie cheat and steal without batting an eye, they are lowlifes!

2. Ugh, I can't STAND Mark Green.
:puke: He was a camp counselor up at U-Ni-Li-Yah one summer when my 'rents sent me there to 'have some fun'.

He was an ultra-conservative hypocritical prick even back then!! :puke:

3. Only 13% Of Fed Money To The Poor
Edited on Tue Aug-29-06 09:17 AM by mntleo2
...this SHOULD be big news, but it is just a yawn for most of the nation because, well who cares how our tax dollars are wasted when Halliburton is rolling in the dough thanks to billions going to waste with no-bid contracts in New Orleans and Iraq, right?

But it is true...thanks to some tenacious citizens in your state called the "Welfare Warriors". They unearthed the truth by demanding to see the hidden and enigmatic bookkeeping of the state. Not only did they find that only 13% of the money was actually getting to the people that desperately needed it, they also discovered that $1.9 BILLION is missing!

That brave group of women who are one of the few forcing cruel state policies all over this nation to be held accountable. Over 1/6 of the children on welfare in Wisconsin are taken from their mothers and put into foster care because the "safety net" is so cruel it does not even begin to support children's basic needs.

Meanwhile 2 billion dollars goes unaccounted for and what these women call some private agencies, the "welfare pimps" gobble up the money for themselves, pretending to serve the poor when in truth they are only serving themselves.

We have little reason to believe that the state of Wisconsin is the only state doing this, they are just lucky enough to have these women kicking asses and taking names.

While middle class America ignore these goings on, it is to their peril.

Welfare Reform uses poor women as the canary in the mine for the middle class. It says in essence that the only thing you can do for your country is to work an exploitive McJob, that it is actually "better" than being a parent or contributing to your community.

Welfare was an entitlement that came out of Social Security. While everyone is clinging to SS being the last safety net, they do not realize it is already being compromised. And Wisconsin is leading the way with corrupt, greedy policy makers and politicians who use the citizens to enrich themselves.

Those women are my heroes

My 2 cents
