Thank you, candid Chris Christie...

...for identifying Scott Walker as the GOP's Wisconsin voter suppressionist-in-chief, and thank you also, Salon.com writer Joan Walsh, for identifying Christie's remarks, below, as "a confession." 
“Would you rather have Rick Scott in Florida overseeing the voting mechanism, or Charlie Crist?” he asked. “Would you rather have Scott Walker in Wisconsin overseeing the voting mechanism, or would you rather have Mary Burke? Who would you rather have in Ohio, John Kasich or Ed FitzGerald?” he asked.
“The fact is it doesn’t matter if you don’t really care what happens in these states, you’re going to care about who is running the state in November of 2016, what kind of political apparatus they’ve set up and what kind of governmental apparatus they’ve set up to ensure a full and fair election in 2016,” he said. “All of those things are incredibly important.”
Great that it is Walker pal Christie spilling the beans.

We need more such truthiness from our political leaders and the journalists who cover them.

Unbelievable hypocrisy from the republican party.

One arm of the party…. Chris Christie “Would you rather have Scott Walker in Wisconsin overseeing the voting mechanism, or would you rather have Mary Burke?

The other arm… True the Vote Declares that “Elections Will Be Stolen” on November 4

So it's…. we ARE going to steal the election via the "voting mechanism" but ignore us watch them or "Elections will be stolen".

A Karl Rove ploy. Blame them for what we are going to do.
