Know what would do it? Making sure that rural Wisconsinites all knew about these comments from Walker’s hand-picked deer czar:

Walker has hired Texan Dr. James Kroll to serve as Wisconsin’s “deer czar,” a position that gives Kroll considerable power over Wisconsin’s deer management policy. Kroll is an outspoken proponent of game farms, and an opponent of public lands and public game management, which he is on record as describing as “the last bastion of communism.”
The public lands Kroll despises include the state parks, state and national forests, and other publicly held property that hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites—particularly in the northern part of the state—rely on for deer hunting. Hunters on public land may be surprised to discover that Walker regards their annual trek into a state forest as a radical left wing activity akin to marching in a May Day parade in Red Square. But so it is.
If Kroll gets his way, public land hunters will get the shaft. The deer herd no longer would be managed as a public resource, but as the private property of wealthy landowners. Wisconsin will become like Europe, where hunting is the privilege of the wealthy.

I saw what you did with your moniker. Heh heh heh.

Those will always be paid for — or didn’t you hear Republican Majority Leader John Boehner say that he was holding the budget hostage just so the Pentagon wouldn’t be touched in the next round of austerity insanity?

This money would actually go towards non-DoD stuff for a change.

In 1945, Corporate America paid $1.50 in taxes for every $1.00 paid by individual taxpayers (that’s you and me).

Today, Corporate America pays $.25 (that’s twenty-five cents) for every dollar paid by us.

Time to kick it back to the 1945 rates.

They don’t have the money, Bobster. They simply don’t have the money.

You need money to be on TV, on the radio, in the newspapers. Especially in this post-Citizens-United era, because the forces of evil have literally twenty to thirty times as much money to spend:

“There is tremendous frustration with the influence of out-of-state organizations and out-of-state money,” Lisa Graves, the executive director of the Madison-based Center for Media and Democracy, told me when I spoke with her this spring. “Wisconsin has an identity, the Wisconsin Idea, that is based on the notion that legislation should help as many people as possible.” In February, David Koch gave $1 million to the Republican Governors Association, which is spending heavily to fight Walker’s recall campaign, and that same month he praised Walker’s anti-union legislation in The Palm Beach Post. “We’re helping him, as we should,” Koch said. “We’ve spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We’re going to spend more.” Walker has raised more than $25 million for his campaign, 60 percent of it from outside the state, while his Democratic opponent, Tom Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee (whom Walker defeated in a regular election less than two years ago), has raised less than $1 million. “Wisconsin used to be the beacon of clean and open and honest government,” Mike McCabe, the head of the nonpartisan Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, which tracks money in politics, told me. “We are now just a pawn on a national chessboard.”

There’s a good NYT article on this: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/27/magazine/how-did-wisconsin-become-the-most-politically-divisive-place-in-america.html?_r=1

The real action is going to be in the Senate recalls — which if successful will deprive Walker of his 100%-GOP-controlled state legislature:

Thank you, Joe Biden, for your “gaffe”. You’ve forced Obama to do the right thing, both morally and strategically.

The WI Dems went with Barrett because he polled better than Falk against Walker. If Falk had been the nominee Walker would have a fifteen-point lead.

He really has issues with women, doesn’t he?

The vultures are fighting an increasingly desperate rearguard action, as a new ABC News poll shows that most African Americans now back marriage equality, thanks to Obama and the NAACP.

Speaking of the effects of the bully pulpit:

The bizarre obsession by mainstream media and political elites with the deficit during an employment crisis isn’t based on public outcry, nor is it drive by the market, given that our government borrowing costs are near historic lows. It is a manufactured issue created by billionaires spending literally hundreds of millions to artificially raise its prominence and furthered by those who want to use it as an excuse for their real goal of slashing our social safety net.

This needs to be repeated over and over again until the middlebrows who think watching “Meet the Press” makes them informed citizens finally understand it.

Actually, if you look at his past tweets, George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina is quite capable of being that stupid.

And this is why the Citizens United decision was such a disaster. All restraints on the rich are now gone.
