It will be bad enough when one of those goes BOOOM! in Milwaukee or 'Tosa, but even worse if it blows up a high speed train too.

Without the media propaganda that blankets Wisconsin, there would be no divide-and-conquer Governor nor would his cronies control the state. <br /><br />The reason Walker failed on the national stage is that, while there are plenty of right-wing propaganda outlets and media hacks, they don't need to fall in line with Scott Walker to do the teabaggin' thing. Take away the massive media propaganda, and Walker is a fool.<br /><br />The rest of America saw this and it is only the propaganda, lead by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and then cast across the state, amplified as "news", that let's Walker rise to successively higher offices in the Badger State.<br /><br />We are stuck with Walker for years, because the media environment has not changed and is still dominated by right-wing shills. There may not be, proportionally, less right-wing propaganda at the national level, but they are not all in-bed with Scott Walker like they are in Wisconsin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-6006476267821685512016-07-02T15:28:03.501-05:002016-07-02T15:28:03.501-05:00Remember, Scott Walker threw it away with the help...Remember, Scott Walker threw it away with the help of the local railroad which taxpayers continue to subsidize, Wisconsin & Southern (WSOR) which criminally laundered more than $70,000 to Walker to kill this investment in high speed rail.<br /><br />And how did criminal and Walker BFF make-out after this crime which should have immediately terminated all of the leases to run on state-owned railroad tracks?<br /><br />HE MADE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SELLING RAILROAD TO THE KOCH BROTHER'S BFF WATCO, the largest transportation holding company in the world which has Koch Industries as their largest customer!<br /><br />Oh, people didn't know that WSOR runs almost exclusively on state-owned railroad tracks that taxpayers pay to maintain for WSOR on-demand?<br /><br />Many, you gotta love Wisconsin politics and the journalism (or lack there-of) that makes this all possible...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
