Lies and Wisconsin right wing radio kept Walker in...

[SecurityManager]

Last two weeks the local right have spewed:

Wisconsin is in the green.

More jobs created by Walker.

Etc.

Plus eight walker ads to one barrett ad.

I am bracing myself now for five months of:

"Walker win means an Obama loss"

UGH

1. Those lies are always there...

They (the right/republicans) always use lies. They have been doing this for decades, and even the fox news/talk radio forum for those lies have been around for at least 20 years now.

It's a fact at this point, not an excuse. There is no reason why our side has not come up with an effective way of countering those lies or fighting fire with fire. If the measure and degree of their lies surprises anyone, it is that person who is the fool after being duped so many times. How many times are we going to use the excuse "Well we're better than them.....we don't do those kinds of things..." before we realize that if we actually want to win we either need to beat them at their own game or at the very least realize how to play it and stop being the Washington Generals to their Harlem Globetrotters.

2. I am not letting the people that voted off that easy.

They live there and they see it and they don't have to believe everything they hear. They voted they got what they wanted, now they can have it. I only feel for the ones that realize what was happening and tried to do something about it.

3. I definitely didn't mean to imply that...

I thought the same thing especially seeing that 36% of union members voted for Walker.

I mean it's one thing to realize that it's hard to convince people always of what we think someone will do once they are in office since it is still in the abstract. But when that person actually was in office, actually did the things you said he was going to do that were against your interests, and you STILL voted for him again....yeah that is something I just can't fathom.

4. Charlie Sykes got a mention in Media Matters...

When he defended the Texas Teabagger goons and continued the GOP story about "unions busing people in from Michigan."

And you can bet Belling is going to be crowing about Walker's win for years to come, that smarmy shit.
