carlitosway falsely stated the following "As you seem to have an awful lot of good DEms in there that would not side with the Koch boys."

Funny how you tried to declare my information was false when I used the same source you did. If you weren't so partisan blind you could easily find the information or ask for the source BEFORE dropping ignorant and typical assumptions just because you don't like the information.

As I stated, that was just for 2010 and 2012 cycles, and just for the US house and senate. The ignorant posts claiming one side is "bought" by those giving to both sides shows how UNINFORMED the parrots are.

David Koch's Americans for Prosperity Foundation has a more detailed website, but it is unclear why Koch is seemingly uninvolved in the similar organization, Americans for Prosperity. David Koch contends that no Koch foundations have provided funding to Americans for Prosperity, the citizen advocacy group organizing Tea Party events around the country. A Washington Post article from January of this year connects the Kochs with the Tea Party movement, citing records of their foundation giving $3.1 million to Americans for Prosperity, but according to the Kochs, this is false, as the money only went to the Americans for Prosperity Foundation.

Walkers ads that say Barrett took Milwaukee down That is exactly what Walker did not Barrett and that he cost many Jobs again what Walker did. WELL Walker has not gained any Jobs as he said in his campaign and 90 more from American Family Insurance will be gone. As will many more if the don't get rid of him.

RAF please give us the sight to prove your statement as to the claim of the ones Kochs gave to. As you seem to have an awful lot of good DEms in there that would not side with the Koch boys. As some news is not true as to who reports it I research and read to find truth and I read the whole article as to the BS that is stated then different perceptions and truth further into article .

Wow, Barrett's coming? I heard Pee Wee Herman was here once. We'll see if he beats PW's crowd numbers. The throngs at O'Reillys for Kathleen Falk were somewhat slim, (i.e. those were the people that were already there eating that she bothered).
I heard when he is in Beloit, he's going to do a recon trip to Rockford to see where the Clock Tower 14 hung out.

I would love to get a chance to ask Barrett about the facts showing that for the last 16 mos. the savings that has been made here in Wisconsin, for example;
*
FACT~ The Kaukauna School Board relied on the reforms to turn a $400,000 deficit into a $1.5 million surplus, hire more teachers, and reduce class sizes without the burdensome meddling of teacher union bosses;
*
FACT~ School districts across the state are projected to save millions of dollars each year by shopping around for competitively priced health insurance providers;
*
FACT~ Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, himself publicly admitted that his city would save "at least $25 million a year — and potentially as much as $36 million in 2012."
*
Wow Tom, that sure sounds like the tools Governor Walker gave cities across the state of Wisconsin are working to me.
One other question that I have yet to hear any of the possible opponent answer is, if Unions are given their all of their demands and collective bargaining rights are reinstated and given back and things are reversed to where they were before Governor Walker took office, where do they see that kind of savings coming from, how are they going to get the money to fund all of their promises they are now making??
Has anyone besides me wondered what their plans are, or are they just running on the plan of rewinding the state back to 2010 and go about business as usual? We can NOT afford to go back to those ways, and I truly hope that state of Wisconsin voters enter the polling places on June 5th and do what is best for ALL of Wisconsin residents and elect Scott Walker for the second time in 19 months. This recall election is more about right to work laws workers freedom to do just that, WORK versus forced-union dues and big labor is just trying to sweep it under the rug!
I stand with Governor Walker and I stand with common sense and fiscal responsibility!
With what is just on the horizon coming up fast at the end of this year, the Bush tax cuts are set to expire while automatic spending cuts are due to kick in, a combination that will immediately siphon hundreds of billions of dollars out of the economy and threaten to counter what little growth the economy is posting.
To me that is a very realistic and scary thought that needs to be kept in mind as we move forward.
Can we here in Wisconsin afford to recall Governor Walker at such an unsure time in our history?
I think not!
