Can you give me an example of one time that you took on a conservative special interest?"<br /><br />Walker: "I'd tell you flat out when I took on the $100 million or so (spent against him), I raised $80 million in three elections in four and a half years, and 70 percent of it came from people who gave me $75 or less. We raised it from more than 300,000 donors in all 50 states. That's grass roots. That's not allegiance to one group or another. That's actually listening to the people, the hard-working people all across this country who said they want a leader who's going to stand up and take on the special interests.<br /><br />Is any of this true?

And the only reason they are outraged by this is because it directly affects them. No outrage at the GAB business, nope, although they mention it in the editorial as a source of information, so they obviously know what it is and its importance. It's just not important to them. <br />I give them no credit for speaking out like this. They even found a way to flatter Scott Walker with some nonsense about how Vos should learn by Walker's 'admitting it was a huge mistake' (as opposed to admitting it was a huge mistake only because he got caught).<br />After so many years, those who wouldn't give the 'liberal rag' MJS the time of day don't even know they wrote this editorial, and those of us who've given up on the paper know this is just so much more nonsense from an editorial board that's pretty much been a backer of Walker and all he stands for from the start.

Citizens For Responsible Government would gladly provide any grassroots organizers with the information and tools they need to get the job done. After all they supported this guy as someone of shared values, i.e. - "clean and ethical government". <br />http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/randa-crg.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
