Where's our "professional" media to do the same while they're grabbing a paycheck?Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-24774871642528529832016-12-19T18:11:46.664-06:002016-12-19T18:11:46.664-06:00This is largely true.

This is why I put the Franz Ferdinand song up there, because it really should be a Dem theme "WE DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS."<br /><br /> It's a double message- we deserve better schools, better services, and higher wages. And the GOPs have failed this state miserably, and should be FIRED. <br /><br /> Throw in "we're not crooked/bought a-holes like the GOPs are", and why shouldn't that be more than enough. Especially by the time Nov 2018 rolls around?Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-73131707760041336082016-12-19T15:58:05.099-06:002016-12-19T15:58:05.099-06:00And you see, this is why Jake is the Economics Kin...And you see, this is why Jake is the Economics King of #wiunion.

We should. I think most Wisconsin voters wo...Yes. We should. I think most Wisconsin voters would agree. The problem is our Democratic Party has not presented anything like a viable plan in opposition to the current power structure.<br /><br />In a contest between a poor plan and no plan, the party with the poor plan wins.<br /><br />Back when ole Scott was busy getting elected for the first time, I recall saying something to the effect that Democrats need to come up with a better campaign than "Vote for us. Republicans suck."<br /><br />I saw little in 2016 to suggest they're any closer than they were 5 years ago.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427829158996224733noreply@blogger.com
