67. Walker & Fitzgerald using exact same LIES (talking points) in their debates.
Sat May 26, 2012, 05:50 AM
May 2012

I also saw the Fitzgerald debate (he's the RePUKE senate leader facing recall) and these two rat bastards are obviously being coached by the same right wing corporate-paid slimeballs. They BOTH kept talking about how "We need to move on from these recalls" and "Move forward". They both LIED about the condition of the state since Walker and the Pukes came in. They BOTH refused to acknowledge the "divide and conquer" strategy that they both used. Just pretended it didn't exist when confronted with it. I will hand this much to the ReSCUMlicans. They do have MESSAGE DISCIPLINE. However, this time the Dems do too, and in both of these debates the Dems HIT HARD at THEIR themes too and took the fight to the RePUKES. You can not play nicey nice with RePUKES and you can't just talk programs and statistics. You have to talk VALUES and you have to use EMOTION and you to ATTACK THEM HARD and talk from the gut.
