Scott Walker's plan to save Wisconsinites money, by doing away with the wasteful recall process that also gets in the way of economic growth, is an amazing and laughable concept. It's meant jobs for seniors working for Americans for Prosperity.
Nichols is amazed at the ad that calls all this stuff, "recall madness." After one guy in the ad says "this isn't democracy," Nichols chimes in, "this is democracy!" You have to wonder what Walker supporters are thinking. This is my favorite line:
Nichols: "...to say, oh, I'm going to vote for Scott Walker because I don't believe in holding elected officials to account. I think when you win an election, you become a king for four years. We have an elected monarchy in Wisconsin. And anyone's who's elected gets to do whatever they want for four years. That's what they're saying."
Nichols then goes on to smash what Republicans call courage. It's really big money cowardice. To me, this is the most insidious of the talking points, because it reinforces the idea that "courage" entitles those in power to ignore the public. Nichols also takes a nice shot at Paul Ryan for making that the issue:
ALEC helped pioneer some of the toughest sentencing laws on the books today, “truth in sentencing” laws. In 1995 alone, ALEC’s Truth in Sentencing Act was signed into law in twenty-five states. (Then State Rep. Scott Walker was an ALEC member when he sponsored Wisconsin’s truth-in-sentencing laws and, according to PR Watch, used its statistics to make the case for the law.) This forced Wisconsin to build new or rebuild 71 county jails 71 courthouses and dozens of prisons. This also forced Wisconsin to build or remodel 238 police stations. This also forced Wisconsin to buy or lease several hundred halfway houses etc. This also forced Wisconsin into hiring some 30,000 plus public sector workers to work at these places. Every time Scott walker says he is for small government and talks about the budget. remember who caused the budget problems and huge government in Wisconsin. He is for small government like George Bush was. He hires millions in the name of Homeland security. Vote Conservative and for small government. Vote out Scott Walker. Can we afford his tax and waste ideals and huge government? If not for Walker and Alec Wisconsin would have tens of billions in surplus. We could get tax refunds again. Lets blame the real reason for budget problems. “Scott Walker”.
ReplyDeleteAs we all know this ended liberty and justice for all in Wisconsin. It has made our justice systems get rich quick schemes. Remember when Reagan stated we do not want to end up like Russia with a camera and a cop and every corner and big brother listening in on every phone call. Not in my America. Even Ronald Reagan would call the Tea Partyers communist. Restore freedom and liberty and justice for all. Vote for a democrat and vote out the Russian Koch Tea Party. Koch`s daddy made his first million from Josef Stalin.
