So how does this ...... "Not including donations to Walker, Hendricks and her husband, Ken, since 1997 have contributed just over $500,000 to political candidates and committees in races ranging from the state Assembly to the presidency, with the overwhelming majority going to Republicans, according to federal data as well as state data compiled by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign." ......translate into the TRASH that you posted and FALSELY ACCUSED Gov Walker of doing? Even if you CANNOT read, the voters can............ I think you LIED, purposely, as scummy Liberals ALWAYS do.

Madison - A filmmaker released a video Thursday that shows Gov. Scott Walker saying he would use "divide and conquer" as a strategy against unions. Walker made the comments to Beloit billionaire Diane Hendricks, who has since given $510,000 to the governor's campaign - making her Walker's single-largest donor and the largest known donor to a candidate in state history. Campaign. There is no quid pro quo evidence attached to the donations, at least not in that article. Therefore you remain a liar, but your stature as such grows daily. The money didn't even go just to Walker. Damn and I thought the Koch Brothers were the largest contributors. BTW what did the individual unions spend for this entire debacle? Huge eh?

kenny_troll, are you still anti-Hispanic, or are you in full retreat like your Hispanic henchmen? Trayvon Martin Shooting – The Media Retreat No Longer Subtle… .For anyone following this story/legal case you know what the local ground players in/around Orlando have been doing. They have been systematically and methodically distancing themselves from the “George Zimmerman is Racist” narrative. The retreat is now going mainstream. Quickly. The retreat began with the Media Consultant, Ryan Julison, who sold the initial racist narrative as part of the “media strategy“, his sales pitch, or in pitchman lingo “the hook”. Immediately after following our site and looking at the research Julison took down his company website; then he scrubbed his company facebook page where he was bragging about “working with” the various reporters in framing their story, and sharing the specific stories he worked on with them. Those stories were filled with false statements about George Zimmerman being a 247lb “white” male. Or, in the New York Times example, he helped create the new ethnicity “ White-Hispanic“. <snip> Now ask yourself why would a VIRGINIA local ABC affiliate be broadcasting the most consequential news yet in the recent events surrounding the George Zimmerman case. Why Virginia? and why ABC? Does Virginia, or more specifically Norfolk Virginia stand to gain something from reducing the toxic hate filled and highly charged narrative? You bet they do. And why ABC allowing a reversal in position? Same reason CNN did their little walk back. The media is famous for positioning themselves on the self-created right side of an issue, and taking credit for exposing the exact thing they created. Cultural Marxism in the media alive and well. theconservativetreehouse.com

Woman Hits Husband With SUV After Arguing Over Wisconsin Recall Election May 09, 2012 nation.foxnews.com (NewsCore) - A Wisconsin woman sent her husband to the emergency room after she hit him with her car during a heated argument over the Wisconsin recall election. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 36-year-old Jeffrey Radle was hospitalized with head, neck and back injuries Tuesday after he tried to prevent his wife from leaving their Chippewa Falls, Wis., home to vote in the Wisconsin recall election Democratic primary. Radle tried several times to block Amanda Radle, 30, from leaving their home in her Dodge Durango, at one point even climbing onto the hood of the car. After being nudged several times, Radle was struck when he tried to stop his wife from swerving around him.

Just curious, Kenneth. Are you just bad with numbers or did you purposely multiply the contribution by 1,000?

Edwards' corruption trial will continue, judge rules By: Associated Press , Times-Dispatch Staff \| The Associated Press Published: May 12, 2012 Updated: May 12, 2012 - 12:00 AM » 0 Comments \| Post a Comment RALEIGH, N.C. -- A federal judge refused to throw out campaign corruption charges against John Edwards on Friday, meaning the former presidential hopeful will have to present his case to a jury. Edwards' attorneys argued before U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Eagles that prosecutors failed to prove the 2008 candidate intentionally violated the law or that some of the alleged offenses actually occurred in the Middle District of North Carolina, the venue where he was indicted. After 21/2 hours of arguments from the defense and rebuttal from the prosecution, the judge ruled quickly from the bench that the government had met its basic burden under the law. "We will let the jury decide," Eagles said. Motions to dismiss are routine in criminal trials but rarely are granted. The decision means Edwards' attorneys will begin calling witnesses Monday. They said they had not determined which witnesses they will call first or whether Edwards will take the stand. Edwards has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts related to campaign finance violations. He is accused of masterminding a scheme to use nearly $1 million in secret payments from two wealthy donors to help hide his pregnant mistress as he sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. He faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted on all counts. Edwards' lead attorney, Abbe Lowell, made an impassioned argument Friday, tearing down the government's evidence piece by piece, saying its case had numerous holes and that prosecutors were expecting the judge to serve as the "pothole filler." Lowell said that in 14 days of testimony, prosecutors failed to present direct evidence that Edwards intended to violate campaign finance laws when hiding his affair or lying about it to his wife, his campaign and the American people. Lots of cheating husbands lie, Lowell said. "They have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Edwards knew he was violating the law and did so with specific intent," Lowell told the judge. "No one is going to deny that Mr. Edwards lied and lied and lied. … But what did he lie about?"

Saturday, May 12, 2012 President Obama ended the week with media praise loud in his ears over his endorsement of gay marriage, while his Republican challenger Mitt Romney crossed the 50% threshold against the president for the first time in Rasmussen Reports’ daily Presidential Tracking Poll. It’s a long way to Election Day, but Romney’s lead was a reminder that this contest is still all about the economy. Just 37% of Likely Voters nationwide give the president good or excellent marks for his handling of economic issues, down from a two-year high of 42% in March. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he’s doing a poor job in this area.

Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.” The president leads by four in Wisconsin. Given the chance, 68% would vote to replace the entire Congress and start from scratch. Scott Rasmussen’s weekly syndicated column notes that Senator Richard Lugar’s loss in a Republican primary highlights the sour relationship between voters and politicians. “In many troubled relationships, both sides deserve some of the blame. But the United States is a nation founded on the belief that governments gain their legitimacy only from the consent of the governed. In the relationship between the people and the Political Class, that means the voters are right, and the politicians need to change.” If you’d like Scott Rasmussen to speak to your organization, meeting, or conference, please contact Premiere Speakers. The Wall Street Journal has called him “America’s leading insurgent pollster,” and The Washington Post says Scott is a “driving force in American politics.”

Romney Surges to Within Four... In Oregon! So Democrat Barack Obama should be winning by a landslide margin, correct? After all, he won by 16 points in 2008. After his endorsement of gay marriage, he should be surging-- and at least holding the ground he once held. Instead, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has cut the Obama lead quite significantly. Two months ago, Romney was behind by 11%. That deficit has been cut by nearly 2/3. This follows with the trend across the country. Romney is gaining ground as the GOP starts to coalesce around his candidacy. punditpress.com

GOP Opens 12-Point Lead in WI Senate Race With the recall election facing sitting Governor Scott Walker heating up, the Republican base appears to be backing their candidates. Walker has opened up a five point lead, according to recent polling, and even received more primary votes than the top two Democratic candidates combined. The Republican Party may have some thinking to do about the race for President in that state later this year, but it appears that the race for Senate is getting better. Former Governor Tommy Thompson appears to be running away with the race for an open Senate seat. This comes after incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold was defeated in 2010.
