A lie repeated enough becomes the truth to many. Such is the case with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and claims that it's just another "liberal mouthpiece." (Seriously, are there any liberal newspapers left outside of the Capital Times... and that's not even a newspaper anymore, just an online shell of its former self.) Still, this morning's full width Page One headline trumpeted the misery of small business owners with a lead paragraph worthy of gold stars from Faux News:
Let's see how long is takes him to apologize to BP for the "Obama Slush Fund."
After today's revelation, how do you not assume Ron Johnson is more interested in his personal financial portfolio than the millions of peoples lives and livelihoods that BP has devastated?

God bless Facebook. Renegade GOP Gubenatorial candidate Mark Neumann opened up his Facebook page this week to ask for questions he could ask President Obama during is appearance in Southeastern Wisconsin next Wednesday.

To no ones surprise, well known DINO (Democrat in Name Only), State Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer of Manitowoc announced Monday he was quitting the Democratic Party and would run for re-election as an independent.
If you looked blindly at Bob's voting record the last few sessions, you would discover it was indistinguishable from that of about 90% of the ASSGOP Caucus.
Oh please, please, please, don't let the GOP forget the "Shakedown of BP" meme this Summer. Alas, I fear even they are not that stupid. Still, it didn't stop WI GOP Senate hopeful Dave Westlake from stepping in it today. I know next to nothing about Ron Johnson, but he already has my vote.
