Over at Purple Wisconsin, there's a little bit of baseball, jobs and PolitiFact data by which to measure
Walker's performance:
I calculated yesterday
that by using the 250,000-new-jobs-standard, and figures supplied by
the state workforce secretary - - 6,000 new jobs so far - - Walker's
job creation batting average was .100.
That won't even get you a cup of coffee in the low minor leagues.
With batting averages in mind, let's look at other numbers that should earn Walker his outright release:
Performance assessed by PolitiFact in this newspaper.
Walker has but six "true" findings and four "mostly true" out of 48
statements analyzed - - including one, intentional free pass - - getting
something right about what's on the state flag.
10 of 48 is a truthiness batting average of .210...
And in case you are wondering, Barrett is batting .416 by comparison. Give that man a contract.
If Walker state he was married with children, Politifact would find a way to rate it only partially true or even false.
ReplyDeleteThey are liberal hacks with a severe lack of credibility. But go ahead and keep letting other people think for you.
Yes,, the same "liberal hacks" who endorsed Walker for Gov. and Co. Exec.
ReplyDeleteRayguns you outta talk. You lap up talk radio more eagerly than a dog laps up its own vomit. Yummy! Slurp!
ReplyDeleteGo re-barf it up in your own backyard where it's bound to be appreciated by Belling, Sykes, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc--the other lapdogs of the Koch Brothers, Richard Mellon Scaife, Sherm Adelson, and the rest of the shadowy ALEC mafia. Nobody wants your/their regurgitated and uninformed opinions here.
Its never a real liberal post unless it include "Koch Brothers" or "Teabaggers."
ReplyDeleteThanks for complying!
"Teabaggers" is a term first and most consistently used by the Tea Party . . . referring to themselves. C'mon! Isn't it at least mildly entertaining even to you that this particular group of folks (think of their demographic and their photos at TP rallys: wearing tri-cornered hats with tea bags hanging off of the hat?) referring to themselves as 'teabaggers', obviously ignorant of the term's meaning? Or did you wear one of those hats at your local Tea party rally?
ReplyDelete"Koch Brothers", I'll agree, has come to stand in for corporations manipulating the legislative, judicial, administrative, governmental and political processes and institutions for their corporate benefit. So what if we use their name? We need some kind of shorthand to describe the attempted corporate takeover of America. Just because you don't see any harm in it doesn't mean other, perhaps more thoughtful, people don't see it as a serious problem. Besides, the ALEC mafia are too numerous to name individually every time, and so many deliberately operate in secrecy it's impossible to know who they all are. I purposely used 'shadowy ALEC mafia' to broaden the field of criticism. Are you going to defend the honor of 'mafia' as well?
For those of us who can appreciate multi-dimensional references, not everyone pronounces Koch as 'coke'. (See 'entertaining' above. Even funnier when you think of what they're doing to America, in a black-humor kind of way, as in "We're getting f***ed by the Koch brothers." Doesn't actually change the being f***ed part, but lightens the pain a little when we can laugh together because you're being f***ed too. Laughter, after all, is the best medicine.)
I note your frequent use of the term 'liberal' is liberally applied throughout your often nonsensical posts, intended to insult, I'm sure. However, dictionary definitions of 'liberal' are all positive ones, such as 'generous,' 'open-minded, 'tolerant' and 'free'. So, thanks for the many compliments!
I also note your reply didn't address any of the ideas in my comment, only the semantics. This is why you make it impossible to have any sort of reasonable discussion on actual issues.
For once, I think Rayguns shut up. He'll claim to have been out of town, of course, or some other excuse.
ReplyDelete. . . or maybe Rayguns is checking with HQ at Fox, ALEC, or the Heritage Foundation for his talking points. Whatever . . .
