Wisconsin: Mary Burke throws Democrat Rep. Christine Sinicki under the bus

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2014/01/o-shit.html


Rep. Christine Sinicki had enough of the BS and let her constituents know how she really felt with a facebook post(it is 2014): On Wednesday, Sinicki posted, "OMG...this speech is so full of sh**. Wish I could get up and walk out” and then “Bottom line..the rich get richer and the poor and middle class continue to get kicked in the butt.

Not the Speech full of lies, but the one word facebook page set off a shitstorm of fake outrage. The storm was so bad and so brown that Mary Burke decided to jump on the criticize Sinicki bandwagon!

Walker’s Democratic opponent, former Trek Bicycle Corp. executive Mary Burke, said that Sinicki’s post wasn’t appropriate.
Asked if she though Sinicki should apologize, Burke said, “I think people should make their own decisions. It’s certainly something that I would have apologized for.”

Ahh yes, the lady who has nothing bad to say about her opponent has decided she can throw her friends under the bus quick enough!



Why doesn't Burke just be honest and run as a Republican?

did not offer her up. But she is our only candidate for now and blowing her away will not help Democrats at this point. I wish Vinehout had been able to throw her hat in the ring but that is water under the bridge. Perhaps someone else will emerge--but time is getting late.

That's how I feel and that's why I don't feel that I need to fall in line and support her candidacy. Her Walker-lite act aside, I just don't believe she can win. The Right Wing machine will make mincemeat of her.

Burke did say folks can make up their own minds. In all fairness, just because Mary said she would say sorry, does not mean she thinks others--including Christine should. IMHO.

I will give her the benefit of the doubt on this one.
