WISGOP & Rep. Robin Vos stumped party Democratic leaders and candidates are held accountable, criticized by their voters.

The Borg like Republican Party is having fun sticking it too liberals, progressives and Democratic voters for simply criticizing and questioning their own candidate for governor. What an odd concept.

Who would ever do that says Rep. Robin Vos.
According to the in-the-tank for Scott Walker radio host Charlie Sykes:
The video is but a small sampling, but it is indicative of some of the rumblings among grassroots progressives that have dogged Mary Burke since she first jumped into the race.
With fair nonpartisan leading questions like; "How do you feel about Mary Burke outsourcing hundreds of jobs to China," which isn't something she ever ever did, I wonder how the not so informed voter would react initially?

Or how about this man-on-the-street question; "Trek hasn't paid corporate taxes in decades, how do you feel about that?" Wait a minute:
According to the records, Trek files under “Subchapter S” of the tax code, which enables the company to avoid corporate taxes and pay as individuals at a lower rate.
Oh, that's why they didn't pay corporate taxes. Just a note, Mary Burke never ran the business in Wisconsin, just saying.

And yet, it's possible Republicans will stay in power based on these complete deceptions, no real solutions, and credit card spending. And they sleep very comfortably too.

Burke catches up to Walker, both at 47% in conservative Poll.

I heard about this yesterday, and believe it or not, couldn't find a media mention anywhere. I finally found this story doing a Google search. It wasn't easily found at any of the local TV or newspaper sites. Even the Burke campaigns email failed to mention the pollster or supply a link. 

Thank you Sheboygan conservative radio WTAQ:

The Liberty Foundation and Magellan Strategies said both candidates had 47 percent support among 851 likely Wisconsin voters polled in mid-April. The conservative National Review called the results a "shocker."

WISGOP's Joe Fadness stands by outright lies about Mary Burke.

The bumbling thugs at WISGOP have become more of a laughing stock than an actual party campaigning for Scott Walker. In true party form, RPW will not correct their mistakes and campaign errors to make the race for governor and honest one:
WISGOP bungler, Joe Fadness
WSJ: The Republican Party of Wisconsin isn't backing away from a statement about Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke's plans to self-finance her campaign, even though it was based on an erroneous report … "It was widely reported that Burke planned to spend $8-10 million in the race, yet she is now hedging her bets amidst a struggling campaign and her inability to create traction with voters."
Here’s the funny part; as proof, party leaders pointed to another fringe right wing source appropriately named, “Right Wisconsin.” Even worse, Right Wisconsin is part of the Journal Sentinel, hosted by conservative radio wacko Charlie Sykes. Gee, I wonder what could go wrong?
The State Journal asked for the party's source of the "widely reported" figure. State GOP spokesman Jesse Dougherty cited a Jan. 15 report by conservative web site Right Wisconsin … (the) article stated: "Does Democratic candidate for Governor Mary Burke really intend to spend $8 million of her own money this year? According to a public policy report from Foley and Lardner, the answer is yes."

A spokesman for the law firm said the report was retracted.
End of story? Not quite. The WISGOP goons, under the guidance of executive director Joe Fadness, had this Onionesque answer:
After being informed about the retraction, Fadness issued a modified statement to the State Journal saying "self-financing numbers as high as $10 million have circulated for months." He did not disclose a source for the $10 million figure and the March 27 press release on the party's website remains the same.
Hey, if a few people are still mislead...and it’s true, that $10 million number has been circulating, thanks to WISGOP’s daffy Joe Fadness. Holy cow.
