In this year’s governor’s race, Wisconsin Democrats are really digging down into the Deep Tunnel that is their talking points. All their echo chambers are working overtime to get the BS out to the people.
You’ve got the suddenly outspoken Milwaukee County Supervisor Chris Larson, who is running for State office, who somehow thinks he’ll help his own chances by digging on Scott Walker despite their running in two different races. Larson wants to blame Walker for the crumbling O’Donnell Park parking garage…a structure built way before Walker took the Milwaukee County Executive seat. A structure the city, under Tom Barrett, was actually responsible for inspecting…not Walker. Watching Larson squawk away on TV…the Jackson Browne tune kept coming to mind.
Larson, joined by fellow nitwits John “Paycuts & Furloughs Are For Suckers, Not For Me“ Weishan and Marina Dimitrijevic, led an event of political grandstanding in the form of a march from the local SEIU HQ to O’Donnell Park. No doubt the thug outfit SEIU folks drummed up some character actors in t-shirts for the march. One might ask, as I did, what does the SEIU have to do with any of this? Well…in Larson’s bid for higher office, he’s apparently doing all he can to spin things not only against Scott Walker, but also to tow the union line of bringing back laid off union workers. Larson provided evidence of this position by huffing and puffing up a total non-story into a “The county is falling apart and it’s all Scott Walker’s fault” talking point.
Larson isn’t alone in his desperation. We’ve got the thoroughly debunked “Walker gave himself a pay raise” talking point offered by a leftist talking point generator AKA Cory Liebmann. A talking point so dishonest, even fellow lefty bloggers had to admit I was right about it.
When it comes to dishonest smearing of Scott Walker, the grand-daddy of them all is the whole “Scott Walker raised taxes” meme. I suppose that if you contorted your brain to the extent typical of Liebmann and his brethren at One Wisconsin Now and the Shepherd Express, you would believe the meme. But they don’t really. They know Walker is strongest on taxes. They know his position on taxes will be the popular one this year…so they have to come up with something…anything…to smear him.
With Walker being the fiscal conservative that he is, he started out holding the line on taxes. The county board being controlled by Democrat taxers, they would add millions over and above Walker’s proposed budgets. Walker would veto them. The board would override the veto…and Whallah!!…spending goes up. The next budget cycle rolls around and Walker submits the same budget the board forced upon him in the previous cycle…i.e. a zero increase budget. He figures, rightly so, that maybe this time the county board will allow him to hold the line. Nope…as becomes the routine…the board adds spending, Walker vetoes it, the board overrides the veto. Yet, utterly dishonest folks like Scot Ross (from the group with the fascist name) and his sock-puppet, Lisa Kaiser (from the Shepherd Express), run their Jedi Mind Trick on the citizenry by saying…hey, Walker’s submitted budgets are going up…he’s a taxer after all! You see how dumb they expect people to be?
Seriously…Walker is the proverbial man on the beach with a broom trying to hold back the wave of taxation whipped up by the blowing winds that are the county board. He can’t even get the board to accept a zero increase, yet his critics blame him for not submitting a budget with massive cuts in one breath, then want to label what he does submit as “unrealistically stringent.” Lisa Kaiser tips her hand in the midst of echoing the script given to her by One Wisconsin Now when she writes “The county board then has no choice but to add spending and tax increases to keep up with inflation and other increased costs of doing business.” That says it in a nutshell…they have no choice but to raise taxes…there is no alternative in their mind.
Ahh…but there is my friends…vote Scott Walker for Wisconsin governor.

Heh! Braniac Lisa Kaiser offers us an amusing yet insightful Shooting-Yourself-In-The-Foot moment:
“First off, Walker would inherit a $2.3 billion deficit.”
Duly noted in their comment section.
