I am just sick to death about all the pro walker advertisements there are on TV....

[a kennedy]

it's all day long, and they're all different. Ugh.....not good, reminds me of the pro johnson ads against Russ Feingold. Ugh.

1. That's what the FF button on the remote is for.

All the Koch money won't be diddly against our 35,000 committed volunteers and 930,000 signers.

Now Diebold or Kathy Nickolas on the other hand....

2. Be patient, we ain't seen noth'n yet...

Walker has huge amounts of money to spend.

The spending of the 13 to 1 fundraising advantage will have an effect, it's unavoidable.

I think it may go down the smallest gain ever seen from campaign spending. And that denominator is the greatest amount of money ever spent for a governor's race in an upper midwestern state.

3. Has the DNC kicked in any money for adds???I think I read

that they have sent down people to help with fund raising and etc. but are they giving any money????

[HereSince1628]

4. I'm not in a position to know anything but what has been publically discussed

Late last week the WI-Dems were very upset by the lack of DNC commitment.

There are many of us here who are very suspect of the DLC heritage in the DNC.

[whathehell]

5. No...They are holding a "fundraiser" in Wisconsin but refuse, as yet, to give them $$

and I think that SUCKS, especially since the RNC Chair said

they were "All in" for Walker in Wisconsin...Guess we

can't expect the same from the DNC?..

I just got an email from MoveOn saying they won't give

them money...MoveOn is asking people to chip in $10 to

fund the recall, which I did.

8. The organizers in the DPW office were discussing this

I've been going in to volunteer every Tuesday for weeks.

The staffers there say that the DNC has sent money, and manpower. They would of course like it to be more, but the rumor that they are giving no money is not true. They think at some point "They should give more money" turned into "They don't give any money" in the line of communication.

I do know that the OFA office just down the street has essentially suspended their normal operations and have given themselves over to the recall effort until it is finished. Then they will go back to electing the President.

[whathehell]

6. That's because the DNC is underfunding the Recall...See this from Daily Kos:

Democratic National Committee: Invest In The Scott Walker Recall Now!
By Mary Magnuson (Contact)

To be delivered to: Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chairperson, Democratic National Committee

Democratic National Committee & Debbie Wasserman Schultz, invest now in the crucial fight to remove Scott Walker from office in Wisconsin--the people have worked hard and it's time to help.

As a Wisconsin progressive working day and night to recall Scott Walker, I'm shocked: The DNC still isn't giving financial support to the recall fight in Wisconsin. After more than a year of grassroots efforts, Wisconsin citizens have accomplished more than anyone thought possible. We now have a Democratic challenger to Scott Walker who is neck and neck in the polls, even though Tom Barrett is being outspent by Walker's millions from out-of-state donations. There is no more time for the Democratic National Committee to wait--if Walker wins, it would be a huge setback to Democrats in races across the country this year. We need the DNC's support immediately!

I don't understand at all what is happening here. The DNC holding back money that would help Right a grievous Wrong committed against the people? Maybe the DNC has begotten two more initials ... DNC/TP

I dearly hope not, we are all screwed if this is the case. thinkingblue

PLEASE SIGN: http://signon.org/...

There are currently 90,920 signatures

7. I'm getting worried about this

The lies just keep coming and I think I know why...

I finished reading "The Republican Brain" and although I found the book incredibly shallow, it did capsulize all the current studies on how conservatives and progressives process information...and it's both frightening and disheartening...and explains why "say anything" and outrageous lies are prominent features of right wing advertising.

Repubs hold onto their beliefs in a defensive posture like they hold onto survival itself...in fact, their beliefs are their survival..sooooo...when confronted by facts, data, science etc., the engage in motivated reasoning and grasp onto anything to protect their beliefs...the "say anything" quotes and downright lies justify their beliefs and allow them to grasp more tightly to their positions.

What Walker is doing is giving them a proverbial "fig leaf" to cover their wrongness of their positions and it will work.

What Mooney's book failed miserably with was giving us a means to counter "the big lie"..just a cursory suggestion or two.

9. Scott Walker and anyone who supports him are totally full of shit.

[Sabriel]

10. I despise the two billboards I have to see everyday on 41.

Particularly the one that says something like, "Scott Walker works for Wisconsin, not just for the privileged few."

Gag.
