It would help if Wisconsin's largest media outlets would consistently tell the truth: Foxconn is a boondoggle that is intended to prop-up Scott Walker's 2018 campaign and insure he never has to answer for his failed 250,000 job promise.<br /><br />No one should be surprised that his media minions are helping, as they catapulted the propaganda in 2014 that Walker's clear and explicit 250,000 job promise was merely a "big idea" (tm). The content and exact phrasing Walker used makes it clear that this was how he expected to be judged after his FIRST term. <br /><br />Even with the fairy tale 13,000 jobs that increasingly appear to be just another lie, Walker would not hit 250,000 jobs into his third term. The media coverage across Wisconsin on Foxconn is, overwhelmingly inaccurate cheerleading and dismal. Walker's initial job promise has been flushed down the memory hole. <br /><br />Only Matt Flynn specifically states he will fight Foxconn and offers an articulate path to stop it. I can only hope that your readers understand that slowing Foxconn development does not matter at all if, in the end, we elect any other candidate than Matt Flynn.<br /><br />Everyone else -- and I mean EVERYONE -- will continue the biggest scam in Wisconsin's history. If you know anything about railroad history in the mid-to-latter 19th century, you Wisconsin was a corrupt cesspool.<br /><br />That's were we are headed. No one running for governor can clean up this mess if they passively accept Scott Walker's Foxconn stunt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
