Why are people so dumb they support someone like Scott Walker? Opps, I know, they're fear-ridden conservatives who watch Fix NotNews!

I tend to think that area of the state is more dyed-in-the-wool. Faux certainly helps them along, but I think their ties to the red runs pretty deep, FN or not.

I'm sure they will spin this that not having jobs is a good thing...somehow.

Boom. Thud. What's the difference.

Man I despise that guy. I only wish he had to give up his office to run for president and lose.

Scotty sez the reason Wisconsin has sunk (and still sinking) southward in job creation and economic development is because of all those protests over his anti-union bill two years ago, and the recall campaign against him. Of course that's all been over awhile and yet the trends still are heading downward. But this, you see, has nothing -- nothing! -- to do with Walker's policies.

It's also hilarious that in his job-creation claims, he always inflates the number by including a couple of months prior to his swearing-in.

Otherwise, he might not make his stated goal of creating 250,000 jobs.

I've always thought our side needed to do a better job in getting out messages like this. A good start. I'll donate to support this.

15. Facts.... if they don't support the conservative paradigm they must be wrong.

That is how I suspect this billboard will be received by those conservatives who see this. I also suspect a rebuttal (propaganda from a neocon think tank) is in the works if not already out and in play.

KnR for another excellent Scuba thread.

21. I love this billboard, but do Re/TeaPukes even really care?? Facts mean nothing to them.

ReTeaPukes base most of their decisions on negative/nihilistic emotions.
Their disdain of education, especially science, renders them impervious to factual info.
