Hey, he won share-by-share of monies funneling-in via varying sources all involved with the Koch Bro's in one way or another.
This, my American friends and foes, is what the country is up against more than ever before in our history - as I wrote in a post several days ago. Money-money-money-money. Unlike the past, finally the gruesome-looking headstones of The Powers That Be behind the headlines are popping-up like the Zombies To Our Economy they are in name. The Presidential Election With Romney and Friends, Inc. By Proxy, will gather amazing steam now that the GOP and Tea Party Handlers have groaned into the reality that the Slick Mitt will have to be "their Man." Yes, it's come to this. The inevitable. So much wasted drama in the GOP Nominate Me Fracas, correct?
Now that Scott Walker's political life was saved last night via his mucho heavy-lifting backers who live nowhere near Wisconsin, it's the first battle in what we will be seeing in the Elections Of 2012, which, I believe, will go down in history as the most publicly-bought political influence election cycle - evah.
Oh yuck. Bleck. Why give a damn, then? Why bother to vote? You take the time to vote because if you don't want the "other guy" to win, then the better "other" needs your vote. You know, as in voting for your fav on American Idol or something similar? You can have a voice. Yep. Look how the Judges in all of the Reality-Talent-TV spectrum's are strangely overruled when the populace adds their votes.
Oh, but wait! In the U.S. we have another potential snag in place to make tight elections even more corruptible and/or "checked". And that little nugget is the "Electoral Vote". These "electorates" seem to have the final sway in who becomes Prez or not in our up-until-now-it-seemed, nicely working Democratic System.
WTF? No wonder we often query why should we bother to vote if a group of weird strangers in some kind of Voting Block will be the Ultimate Deciders in a presidential campaign instead of US, you know, the people who cast ballots and things like that? Nevertheless, somewhere along the classic line, The People seem to have clout.
We shall see as November becomes a reality. Will the will of the People will-out in truth? Or is it who has more money behind them to change the world. For real. More than ever. As it has been for many, many years. The election isn't a foregone win for either opponent at this stage. Democrats in particular would behoove themselves to stir up some political dust to leave in their wake following an inevitable anti-Obama statistic or complete lie a pushy reporter-journalist wants the candidate to clarify?
Naturally, not everyone will or does agree. If you're heavily opposed to the current occupant of both wings of the White House, and would accept a man whose word has changed more than the common vernacular has in the past ten years to lead the country into some kind of Draconian Blur, then go right ahead and vote the waffle-iest of all of the GOP Waffles who have been playing around for the past year to gain the nomination into office.
Just don't blame those who disagree when the waffles turn out to be under-cooked and more than bit "runny".

OH BOY!!! I can't wait to weigh in on this one, but alas, it's bed time. See you in the morning old friend. John
ReplyDeleteYep, any time anything goes the way of the Republicans, just
ReplyDeletehaul out the Koch brother’s and bitch and moan about them.
Face it…both parties have their own “sugar-daddy’s.” Soros
has dumped 8 BILLION on the radical causes of the left, but
he gets a pass every time.
I’m not saying this of ALL Democrats. But of the extreme
Left and Progressives. Anytime something doesn’t go their
way, what do they do? They put on their Che Guevara T-
Shirts, and get in their Sol Olinsky/Cloward and Piven mode,
and demonize, vilify, and flat out lie about anything they can’t control. They also do things like Twitter death and assassination
threats against Scott Walker. One thing I’ll be you didn’t see
on your “Lame-Stream Media News, was after losing the recall election, one of Tom Barrett’s DEMOCRAT female supporters came up to him and slapped him in the face for losing.
“Douche-guy of All Douchey’Guys Scott Walker.” That’s low,
even for you Shauna. Just what has Mr. Douche done? Well
let’s see. He has dropped Wisconsin’s budget deficit from 3.6
billion to 137 million. In 2011, he created 23,000 jobs without
laying off of single policeman, fireman, or teacher. Unemploy-
ment has dropped from 7.7 to 6.7 percent, and guess what? The
union memberships have declined from approx 68,000 to 28,000.
If being a douche is what you call a man who does what he says,
I’m sure he will wear that name proudly.
As for me, I’m done arguing politics. Fact is, I don’t have to
any longer. All I do, is sit back, and watch all of the Democrats
who are suddenly abandoning Obama, (Up to and including Bill
Clinton) look at all of the scandals of this administration that
are coming to light, and I don’t have to do a thing but sit back,
smile, and show up and vote. The last three years have been a train
wreck. And what is really satisfying, is each and every day, the American people are finally seeing through this administration, and what it has done to this once great country. John
John, wake up! Do you have cataracts or something? You are telling me that the Koch Bro's weren't the major contributors to Scott Walker's win? How brainwashed are you guys who watch Fox News. I know there is no arguing w/ you and yours, but for (bleeps) sake have you seen all of the donors and their affiliations w/ Koch Industries?

If not, then it tells me how rigid it's become. Wow! My bones bristle at the cold feelings that must run through someone's veins not to recognize that not everything is balck and white. And, BTW, there are so many example of racism going on in the Tea Party I am amazed you are that blindfolded.
That's the truth. You can handle it.
Excuse the typos above.
ReplyDeleteI NEVER SAID that the Koch brother's had nothing to do with the recall win. I said BOTH parties have their deep pocket contributors. And I'll leave it at that.
ReplyDeleteAnd, TYPICAL......if you don't have a decent response, play the race card. Like I said, I'm done arguing politics. I hope that the only thing I will have left to say on the matter, is in November when I can say "I told you so." John
Just before drifting off into dream land, I realized that I DO have a few more things to say. However, because I have known and respected you since high school, I will not call you out, or embarrass you on your own blog. My final responses will arrive in your personal email tomorrow. John
