TRUTH and dot-connecting

I can't come close to stating it as well as these guys can.

First, an absolute home run shot from John Nichols, connecting the dots, and remembering what Scott Walker said in the David Koch phone call:

“The other thing is more long-term, and that is, after this, um, you know the coming days and weeks and months ahead, particularly in some of these, uh, more swing areas, a lot of these guys are gonna need, they don’t necessarily need ads for them, but they’re gonna need a message out reinforcing why this was a good thing to do for the economy and a good thing to do for the state. So to the extent that that message is out over and over again, that’s obviously a good thing.”

Admittedly, the governor was not very articulate.

But his message was clear enough. He wanted the Koch-funded group, Americans for Prosperity, to step in and help the Republican legislators who sided with him — even in the face of massive opposition from their constituents.

And so what has the Kochs' Americans for Prosperity and related groups like the anti-choice lobby done in the recall elections? Yep, thrown a ton of cash and dirty tricks to back WisGOPs. And then they have the nerve to complain about Sandy Pasch's alleged coordination with Citizen Action? REALLY? Projection is not the WisGOP's friend.

But neither are most D.C. Dems, as Tammy Baldwin was the only Congressional Dem from Wisconsin to have the strength to vote against this stupid deficit/debt plan. We're not going to get this country to get off of its decline through the power structure in D.C. And for how we got here and what needs to be done, I present to you, Keith Olbermann.

Damn right Keith. It starts with US, and it has to BE US. And it has to start one week from today.
