Seriously - Governor Walker is portraying himself as the victim?

Unbelievable, here we are over a year later and yet on the edge of being recalled out of office, Governor Scott Walker is still being relentless with the political rhetoric  and unfounded spin that he his messaging to the public.  Does this man no shame in how far he will go to deceive the public about the truth?
I would really encourage you to read Governor Walker’s campaign fundraising solicitation that he is sending out to potential donors.  It is long, but rather interesting as the governor literally claims that he is the one being demonized, vilified, castigated, and so much more.

Right now it is easy for the governor to spend his millions of dollars on saturating the airways and our mailboxes everyday with messages on what he wants us to hear, without being questioned on any of it.

Therefore, one of my strong desires in all of the recall efforts is for Governor Scott Walker to have to publically debate his opponent on the merits of his actions and his claims about his actions.  Then and only then do I believe that we the taxpaying public will ever get a chance to begin holding this governor accountable to telling the truth as he is compelled to explain and verify  his claims. 

I would love to know what you, your friends, neighbors, and co-workers think about the claims and appeals that the governor is making in the link below.  Specifically, I am curious how the contents of this letter demonstrates any remote interest in Governor Walker wanting to even think about bringing us back together as a state?


Sincerely,


Gary



P.S.  From my perspective, Lori Compas is truly a great person who I wish more of you in Senate District 13 could get to meet as candidate for office.  Just as Governor Walker needs to be publically debated, so does Senator Fitzgerald.

  1. This fundraising letter is so revealing of the manipulative way Walker has packaged himself to outsiders. The fact that he still dredges out this false claim of "paid protesters" is just ridiculously offensive to those of us who have been working to protect BadgerCare and our schools. While it's almost comical how he's whoring himself out to out-of-state funders while accusing the people who oppose him of being the ones from out of state, it's not particularly funny how he lies about Wisconsinites and his own record. I find it unconscionable how he disrespects the constituents he ignores by pretending the only reason anyone wants to recall him has to do with collective bargaining and "Big Union Bosses." This is the biggest and most frequent lie he tells, and it's clear that many people believe it. Countering that lie will be the biggest challenge in the coming weeks - it's really up to us to make sure that our friends and neighbors are aware the extent of the damage he has done to our schools, our social programs, and our economy.
