Scott Brown votes against women's right and uses Wall Street/Koch money to push his wife out there to fight his battles

Scott Brown began voting against women's rights in Massachusetts and hiding behind his wife's skirts as she reminded everyone of how she use to do innocuous  fluff infotainment pieces for the local news. Gail was like an old friend basically telling you about weather, fires and somebody involvement in a hit and run accident.

No wonder Scott had time to be home with the babies I'm sure his late night shoots had him on a completely  different schedule while his wife worked for a living.

Then afterwards Scott began to pursue his career as a career politician with three terms in the Massachusetts house and three in the senate, which the job of government worker is pretty much a career that most Massachusetts residents can identify with.

So when Scott was in trouble he quickly went to his Wall Street/Koch friends and got a bundle of money to promote his wife to the point that you might actually think that Gail Huff was running against Elizabeth Warren.

Then who can forget when Scott trolling for cash with one of the Koch Brothers and telling him he couldn't do it without him.

Then finally why would you ever want to return to Wretham, Massachusetts in a beat up old truck when you can pal around with the Washington versions of career politicians, like senator for life John McCain.

Then finally that brings us back to Gail Huff and her love of family values that marks any Republican candidate.

Gail Huff I wonder what the toothpaste is symbolic of. I guess that goes over big with the family value crowd.

Here's the full video of Gail's talents. She must have been squirting the toothpaste while Scott was posing. This is pretty typical of north east conservative elites.

The question to ask is who is more closely representing you lots of middle class union members or one non-tax paying billionaire

A major election is about to happen in Wisconsin to determine whether democracy is now totally for sale or whether it is just deeply flawed and in bad need of an overhaul. The governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, has declared a plan to "divide and conquer." That in itself suggests that the attack on the public employee unions was not an end unto itself but rather the first step toward some larger goal. And where the first step of the plan was largely an attack on people making less than $100,000, it wouldn't be surprising if the steps to follow will be more of the same. Only this time the wages will be lowered on someone else, as the unions would have already taken their hit. Of course Walker says one thing when he thinks no one is around; and quite another when he's serving up the pablum to the rubes for public consumption.


Diane Hendrick, the lady in the infamous Scott Walker video, is the richest woman in Wisconsin and doesn't pay taxes. Instead she thinks nothing of giving Walker a little taste, by cutting him a check for multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars. Republican politicians seem desperate from keeping themselves from being stuck in the muck with their fellow citizens. Instead they'd rather hang out with the very rich: and who wouldn't, after all the rich tend to stay in better hotel rooms and travel in a lot of corporate jets.

As Newt Gingrich's sugar daddy, Sheldon Adelson, proved that all's that it really takes anymore is one sugar dady to keep someone afloat whether or not anyone else wants him in the race or not. They can prop someone up singlehandedly and the corporate media will take them seriously pretending that the one eccentric billionaire isn't the only one who supports their campaign, with more money than he knows what to do with. If a politician has a huge following of Americans behind him but no billionaire their candidacy in essentially over. Adelson's favorite charity case, who jealously hated other chairty cases, Newt Gingrich, is out. Adelson needs to find another hopeless wretch to put his money behind and along comes Scott Walker. Adelson tossed the poor waif another 250,000 and tells him to shine his car. ( story here: http://www.americablog.com/2012/05/former-gingrich-billionaire-sheldon.html). The shining car part  will be attributed to sarcasm.

Newt Gingrich back in happier times when he was Sheldon Adelson's boy toy, long before Adelson hooked up with that flavor of the week Scott Walker.

Scott Walker still waiting for his free trip to Cali on David Koch's dime. He may be corrupt but as his chattering away to the fake David Koch he isn't the sharpest knife in the draw.

The Republicans have the unenviable task of convincing people who are a long way from the richest people in the state and who do pay taxes, that Hendrick's goals and are exactly like theirs. Still they have an unending stream of money to badger people into voting the way they want.even if it is against their own interest. They can flood the air waves with  ubiquitous ads until a lie becomes the truth. The ads can talk about guns, abortion, welfare, union thugs, gay marriage, foreigners, and whether their president was born in America... anything other than the fact that Scott Walker's friends makes scads more money than they do and doesn't pay nearly as much taxes they do. After all taxes are for suckers. In this Scott Walker is little more than a gopher for the well connected. As much of a gopher as someone who brings Hendricks a glass of water when she beckons for it, fetches her mail, and calls for a car when she needs to travel downtown. Of course Walker is a much better paid tool than the average gopher. He is a very well paid government worker who is paid to sell out his fellow citizens, which isn't surprising as it takes a lot for some people to turn Quisling. 

France: the storming of the Bastille. There might have been a different outcome if only they had had a campaign that the Jacobins want to take your guns away and give your jobs to foreigners and Robespierre is really a left wing, Kenyan Muslim Socialist. The crowd instead have been cheering for the Bourbon dynasy "four hundred more years."

So the wisconsin election literally comes down to people who are being screwed or know family members being screwed, or friends or neighbors being screwed or  expect to be screwed at some future date; against scads and scads of dollars, and a built in believe that there are enough people stupid enough to buy anything if you put a bunch of money behind it and repeat lies over and over again. One side believes in lifting all boats; while the other seeks to have people fight in the mud puddle to jealously pull their neighbors in with them.

Did you here some of your fellow pigs have a pension plan? Don't demand you should have one too but instead pull them right down in the mud

For a government worker who apparently hates government workers it is amazing how hard Scott Walker has fought to hold onto his government job. He certainly appears to loathe the idea of being in the private sector. He appears perfectly willing to lie, break laws, harass his enemies, and sell access to as many outside interest to keep his good fat government job, with his government pension and his government health care. Of course that's what he desires to deny to his fellow Wisconsin citizens . It's like he climbed to his version of political/economic nirvana and he wants to pull the latter up behind him. In fact, he seems quite content to use the state government as his own private ATM.

Who wants to buy a politician? Will work cheap.

So what this all comes down to is whether Wisconsin voters actually believe that these middle class workers unions, which have been freely chosen by their membership, actually do a better job representing  middle class interests than one billionaire, who doesn't pay taxes and gives lots of gifts to their "supposed" representatives. And whether money swamps democracy this time or not, this movement needs to go forward and continues to be more unruly until this government stops being governable. To complacently sit back and to hope their corrupt leaders just do the right thing is a way towards "wage slavery."

Walker To Debate. Can the Koch brothers come too?

Walker To Debate: "

(Madison, WI) – Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker(R) has agreed to as many as two debates in the short, upcoming recall campaign aimed at removing him from office.

Speaking to reporters Friday morning near Milwaukee, Walker said although the special election campaign will only be a month long, he thinks it’s reasonable to have a couple of debates.

Referring to the current Democratic primary, Walker said Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett(D) agreed “to two televised debates – that would be something on par with what we’d do as well.”

Unlike many incumbents Walker seems eager to debate particularly if his opponent is Barrett. Since 2010 Barrett has used some of the provisions in Walker’s controversial collective bargaining reforms to help balance his city’s budget.

Some words on tax situation from Stephen King

Famous and good guy author Stephen King begs U.S. to tax him and other very rich more severely.  Strong language and curse words.  Even attacks Koch brothers.   "I’ve known rich people, and why not, since I’m one of them? The majority would rather douse their dicks with lighter fluid, strike a match, and dance around singing “Disco Inferno” than pay one more cent in taxes to Uncle Sugar.... If this situation isn’t fairly addressed, last year’s protests will just be the beginning. Scrooge changed his tune after the ghosts visited him. Marie Antoinette, on the other hand, lost her head. Think about it."

FEC Disclosure Loophole Closes On Secret Donors As Court Won't Stay Ruling

FEC Disclosure Loophole Closes On Secret Donors As Court Won't Stay Ruling:

'via Blog this'

WASHINGTON -- A court ruling requiring non-disclosing political groups -- including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity -- to disclose their donors is one step closer to going into effect after a district court refused to stay its ruling in the face of an appeal.

On March 30, a district court ruled in Van Hollen v. Federal Election Commission (FEC) that a loophole in FEC rules that allowed certain independent group campaign efforts to keep private the names of donors was invalid and needed to be rewritten or reset to the original language.

Koch Brothers, Chamber of Commerce Face Possible Campaign Donation Disclosure After Ruling

WASHINGTON -- On Friday evening, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a ruling that could begin the process of revealing the identities of secret donors to groups connected to Karl Rove and the Koch brothers.

The court ruled in Van Hollen v. Federal Election Commission that the FEC rules that restricted campaign donor disclosure are not valid and must be changed to provide for disclosure.

"We are very happy to see the judge got it right," says Paul Ryan, a lawyer for the Campaign Legal Center, a campaign finance watchdog that was a part of the team challenging the FEC rules.

Those rules state that donors to groups spending money on "electioneering communications," or advertisements that do not specifically call to elect or defeat a candidate, must only be disclosed if they specifically earmarked their donation to that particular expenditure. Since few, if any, donors to these groups ever earmark their donation for a specific election expense there was no disclosure.

Gov Walker (R-Koch) gets a bailout for a new ad from corporate funded group – FreakOutNation

Governor Scott Walker (R-Koch) has been raising money to keep his anti-workers’ rights butt in the Governor’s office in light of the looming recall, and he’s been successful, raising $12 million. But he needs more so he’s gone to the Corporate funded Republican Governors Association (RGA) for a bailout and they acquiesced in form of a commercial. The focus on the commercial though is an attack on Walker’s opponents, but Scotty’s own abysmal record is like a deer caught in the headlights.

Scott Brown and Chris Christie Face Backlash Over Anti-Equality Positions, Lack of Jobs Focus

Unemployed workers, equality advocates question how duo’s divisive social agenda will create jobs

   

BOSTON, MA – Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie faced continued constituent backlash over their misplaced priorities Monday, as more than 50 equality advocates, unemployed workers and allies protested outside a $2,500-a-head Brown campaign fundraiser at the Westin Copley Place. Demonstrators braved freezing evening temperatures to call attention to the Republican duo’s misguided focus on divisive social issues while legislative job creation efforts languish at the state and national level.

“Voters elected Scott Brown and Chris Christie because of their promises to create jobs. Yet for years, we’ve seen them focused on divisive social issues,” said Don Gorton of the grassroots equality advocacy group Join the Impact. “Brown and Christie owe their constituents an explanation: how will vetoing equality measures or restricting access to birth control create a single job?”

Brown made headlines last week when the US Senate rejected the junior senator’s bill to limit women’s access to basic health services like birth control, mammograms and cancer screenings. Not to be outdone by his fellow Republican, Governor Christie vetoed New Jersey’s popular Marriage Equality bill soon thereafter. Both spent weeks fielding interviews and making speeches to market their controversial proposals – all while fending off protests as public outcry amassed. Meanwhile, neither Brown nor Christie has taken meaningful steps to fulfill campaign promises to focus on job creation.

“While Scott Brown and Chris Christie spend their time policing bedrooms and doctors’ offices, their constituents are worried about finding work and putting food on the table,” said Darrin Howell, an organizer with MASSUNITING. “It’s beyond time for Brown and Christie to do the job they were elected to do and start focusing on the issues that really matter.”

Wisconsin Needs Someone Not Afraid To Be His Own Man

The non-Wisconsin residents that are the power behind Scott Walker's throne

 The Koch brothers are weighing in on the Wisconsin results. They make 13 million a day are awful concerned with public employees who are breaking the budget at in some case 40,000 a year. You see homes in Florida, New York, Colorado, Kansas, a play house for their children that could easily be a real house for Wisconsin families, their own yacht ... The question is why are these non-Wisconsin residents so concerned with what goes on in Wisconsin and should every election just be for sale.

The Czar of Wisconsin doesn't seem to remember how many homes he has. Maybe he;s so forgetful because he just is thinking what is in Wisconsin't best interest
