November 4, 2011

"The recall effort against Republican Gov. Scott Walker has unexpectedly begun."

"But instead of being filed by Democrats and grass-roots organizations who have vocalized their intentions to recall Walker for months, the petition was filed by David Brandt of Muskego."
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin, which had announced its intention last month to launch the recall Nov. 15, quickly branded the move a "dirty Republican ploy," but it's not clear what Brandt's loyalties are.
Screwup or dirty trick?

ADDED: Apparently, Brandt is a Walker supporter:
The unusual move of having a supporter file recall paperwork immediately angered Walker opponents, who suspected it was made to give the governor a chance to begin raising money before organizers begin their actual recall campaign.

Officials with GAB confirmed Friday that the formation of Brandt's committee would allow Walker to begin fundraising now, a full 11 days before the Democratic Party of Wisconsin had planned to officially start the recall effort on Nov. 15.
AND: By filing as if he were seriously attempting to recall Walker, Brandt makes it possible for Walker to begin fundraising (and it's unlimited fundraising):
Phone messages left at Brandt's home were not returned. In the handwritten form, he listed himself as the committee's treasurer and said he should be exempt from filing campaign finance reports because the committee would not raise more than $1,000 in a calendar year. That small amount of funding would make it impossible to collect and organize a half million signatures....

Cathy Waller, executive director of the Waukesha County Republican Party, said she did not know who Brandt was and did not believe that he has been active in county Republican politics. State Republican Party Executive Director Stephan Thompson said that he also didn't know Brandt and that the Republican Party was not involved in the filing....

Mike McCabe, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, said the effort also appeared fishy. "It smells like a fake petition drive," said McCabe, whose group tracks political donations.

For campaign purposes, that won't matter. Since the petition has been filed, under state law Walker can immediately begin receiving unlimited political donations from supporters to use for defending himself against a recall.

I'd say it's giving the recallers what they claim they want.

Thank God its the Koch brothers to the rescue. They missed out on buying the url for ows but they can sure help here.

I think they are being swayed somewhat by OWS however. It is rumored that they are thinking of shutting down all of their enterprises in solidarity with OWS Oakland. Firing the employees too.

I think we got 80K new jobs in October. Need 130,000 to keep even with population growth.

It's so pathetically obvious that Walker will win this. The only question is how much will he succeed in promoting himself along the way.

To answer your question...no. This will really have no impact on the Dems recall efforts. It does help Walker raise funds without limitation against a successful recall petition. And as AA says...it will fail big.

Look ofor these assholes to try to recall very GOP office holder moving forward.

Michael Haz said...

Game on, Democrats. You wanted this re-call fight, now your going to get it in full.

A loophole in WI election law allows donors to make unlimited contributions to Scott Walker's campaign fund. This at the time when union money of pouring into the Occupy [Name of City] nonsense.

Trick question for the Dems: Who will run against Scott Walker? Seriously, who? Your party has zero bench strength.

Property tax bills will be sent to every property owner next month. No increase in the school tax portion, if your school board was smart enough to hold off signing it's labor contract renewal. State income taxes will be due a short time later. No increase.

Whoever runs against Walker will have to campaign on RAISING TAXES.

Seriously, Mike Tate, you really want this tar pit of a fight?

But only Republicans are playing dirty. Running fake Democrats in primaries, giving out shots for recall signatures, initiating a recall of Walker from a Walker supporter. For a measly two week fund raising advantage. Impressive. Isn't exactly a vote of confidence for their own policies, is it?

Republicans even filed first on the recalls of the Dem 14. Remember? Walker's closest aides are getting raided by the FBI, Walker himself has spent over 60k defending himself in the John Doe Investigation. And on and on and on.

Found this on Wikipedia - mostly mentions Jim Doyle: The Frankenstein Veto.

Governor Jim Doyle used selective deletion to transform "a 272-word section of the Legislature's budget into a 20-word sentence that took $427 million from the transportation budget and gave it to public schools."

Maybe that's why public school teachers and their unions now act like a bunch of heroin addicts.

Sounds like the WalkerCamp isn't as confident as Althouse is in regards to his winning a recall, and thus they feel the need for extra time to raise money.

Let's break it down:

"But only Republicans are playing dirty. Running fake Democrats in primaries, giving out shots for recall signatures, initiating a recall of Walker from a Walker supporter. For a measly two week fund raising advantage. Impressive. Isn't exactly a vote of confidence for their own policies, is it?

Can you name one thing that even remotely approaches the craven sleaze ball politics of the WIGOP from the Dem side?"


1) Well, the Dems gave food for actual votes, not just for recall petition signatures.
2) All WI Senators flee state to avoid vote.
3) Collusion with local officials, union leaders, and Senators to push contracts through during the delay caused by fleebagging.
4)Out of State union members voting in recalls.

Oh, wait, you said one. Sorry. Do me a favor, just pick one above.


"Republicans even filed first on the recalls of the Dem 14. Remember?"

Yawn. How is this pertinent? Are you suggesting that the Dems only filed in retaliation? Really?

"Walker's closest aides are getting raided by the FBI, Walker himself has spent over 60k defending himself in the John Doe Investigation. And on and on and on."

We have been over this bullshit before. Why do you keep posting this lie?

1)Name the aides douchebag. 2)Walker hasn't spent one fucking cent defending himself in the John Doe investigation. Unless you can name a charge. What is he charged with? Answer. Nothing.

"Weak shit, as per your usual."

Full of shit, as per usual.

garage mahal said...

We have been over this bullshit before. Why do you keep posting this lie?

Scott Walker's campaign fund has paid nearly $60,000 to the firm it hired late last year to respond to questions raised by a John Doe criminal investigation.

I know we've been over this before, is that you can't fucking read, or you can't follow a link?

What garage said:

"Walker himself has spent over 60k defending himself in the John Doe Investigation."


and his proof:

"garage mahal said...

Scott Walker's campaign fund has paid nearly $60,000 to the firm it hired late last year to respond to questions raised by a John Doe criminal investigation."

So Walker did not himself pay anything. Strike One.

And if you read the link you get this:

"a secret investigation into whether Walker's former county staffers were campaigning on county time."

So this money wasn't spent defending Walker. Strike Two

It wasn't spent defending anyone! Strike three. Grab some bench Corky.

But let's continue:

"How much of the nearly $60,000 was directly attributable to the John Doe? The first-term governor's staff isn't saying."

You said it was "over", the story said it was under ("nearly" would be mean it would have to be "less" Corky), but they really don't even know the amount.

Strike Four.

"I know we've been over this before, is that you can't fucking read, or you can't follow a link?"

I can both read and follow a link. You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension. Or are just a fucking liar. Or likely both.

So, you ignored the other question, who are Walker's closest aides that have been raided by the FBI?

Hmmmm?

Fransicko, IF you are truly a Psychologist, which I seriously doubt, I fear for your patients.

Delicious watching Curious George fall over himself trying to defend a two bit crook like Walker. How fitting.

Just google Cynthia Archer. Maybe add "FBI" "battering ram" "confiscated computer" "architect of budget repair bill". Then for fun google "Wisconsin & Southern Railroad" "convicted" "felon" "illegal campaign contributions" "immunity". That should keep you occupied.

I'm not distracted by "shiny things" like the retards you hang out with. But as far as the Southern Railroad thing, we discussed that before also. Another lie you keep repeating. Walker was not at all involved in that crime. The prosecutors even said so.

MADISON (WKOW) -
A quiet east Madison neighborhood awoke to the sound of FBI agents pounding a battering ram on the door of a home at 502 Dunning Street around 6:45 a.m.

"I saw Cindy come out once with one of the agents in the back and she looked like she was fine," said next-door neighbor Dale Riechers.

Archer was a key member of Governor Scott Walker's staff in Milwaukee County and at the state level until August 19th.

That's the day she quit her $124,000 a year job at the Department of Administration citing "personal family matters."

Curiously, the day before, she had accepted a $99,000 a year job at the Department of Children and Families, but still hasn't started there, because she's been on a leave of absence.

"I knew she worked for Walker, but I didn't know how high up she was until I read online, this morning, the article that appeared in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel," said Riechers.

The Journal-Sentinel broke the story this morning, reporting that FBI agents had raided the house and stayed here for more than two hours.

Alley,

If you really were a psych nurse, you would know that Seroquel is commonly used for bipolar disorder in conjunction with SSRIs. It tends to reduce Manic episodes, which your behavior on this site suggests. It's pretty sedating, so most patients take it at night.

Perhaps, you are prescribed a different medication "cocktail" to manage your obvious symptoms.

Did they teach you anything in nursing school, outside of cleaning bottoms? Did you learn anything on-the-job? It appears not.

In case you didn't know (a pretty good guess given your clearly demonstrated ignorance), psychologists do not prescribe psychotropic medication, except a very few in New Mexico and possibly one other state.

You and Garbage make an interesting couple; a manic-depressive and a histrionic personality disorder (with passive-aggressive tendencies).
