Libs on Wisconsin Gov’t Accountability Board admit they don’t care about recall fraud

This is how deep the left’s influence and corruption goes in Wisconsin.
Now that all the recall petitions against WI Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican Senators are in and have been made public, reviews of the petitions are showing a tremendous amount of fraud.  And when I say fraud, I’m talking ...Read more.

Remember this when the lefties are pushing their class warfare bull

No way the lefties can say their candidate is getting the majority of his financial support from the middle class.

Normally when a president wants to show how successful he has been over the past year while giving his State of the Union Address, that president doesn’t repeat what had been said in previous SOTU’s.  Why, you may ask?  Because to do so merely points out the fact that what the president said was a ...Read more.

Thousands show up in support of Scott Walker; MSM and lefties join in on the downplay; BONUS FEATURE – the union letter that threatened businesses in Wisconsin

And the folks on the right didn’t even have to ship in out-of-state people to make the crowd bigger or shut down the public school system (unlike the union lefties and their protests).
From the MacIver Institute:  (H/T Charlie Sykes facebook page)

I suppose this is fitting, seeing how the American taxpayers saw a half billion dollars thrown into the proverbial dumpster.

Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air summarizes it up quite nicely:
Solyndra’s liquidators claim that the glass tubes can’t attract a market for discounted sale. It didn’t take KCBS long to find a buyer, though, who is ...Read more.
