The Chicago Way

The Democrats are looking to Chicago to help them in Wisconsin. That explains a lot.

On Thursday, Wisconsin Democratic Party chairman Michael Tate and pollster Paul Maslin will headline an event at Adelstein and Liston’s office, where they’ll talk about the recall effort. (The invitation says it’s not a fundraiser.) The firm landed the recall-related business because of their relationship with Tate.

[...]

Two other Chicago-based political consulting firms are involved in the Wisconsin recall battle. David Axelrod’s former consulting firm, AKPD Message and Media, is working for Kathleen Falk, a former Dane County executive, who is running for governor against Walker. And Evanston-based Strategy Group worked on the direct-mail efforts for the 2011 state Senate recalls.

2. Ill. is a great example of what happens when the democrates are in control. Higher taxes, Bankrupt state, but keep on spending. Is that what we want for Wi?

3. Out-of-state forces attempting to influence Wisconsin politics? What heresy.

5. Let’s see, union members are commie thugs except when it involves the Penokee mine then they are allies….wow, you are now allies with commie thugs?  As for the dreaded influence of outside states, thank God our governor would never give speech after speech and collect millions upon millions from out-of-state.  We wouldn’t want to become a satellite of Texas and various oil tycoons and home-builder billionaires.

6. So….. Out of state money is bad… unless the Democrats are doing it and Union members are good…. unless they represent the Penokee mine workers…. Got it.

7. No, I don’t think out-of-state money is uniformly bad nor do I think union members are villains or heroes…..just pointing out some suffocating hyprocrisy

9. I don’t necessarily have a problem with out-of-state campaign money. Our problems are national in scope, and so are the solutions. I happen to prefer nationalized elections.

   However, I’m curious how states-rights conservatives approach this. If state soverignity is an important value, is it undermined by boatloads of campaign contributions from out of state? What is more threatening to a state’s soverignity than someone from New York or California (or Hong Kong for all we know) sending money to influence a Wisconsin election campaign?

   No dilemma for me. I think the 10th Amendment is out-dated and Medicaid should be a federal program just like Medicare. But for conservatives who take state soverignity seriously, what about campaign contributions that pierce the sanctity of state borders? Can Wisconsin truly be a soverign state if its political campaigns are funded by people who live somewhere else?

   Just curious.

10. The Dems have a lot of help from Soros and the Liberal Lapdog Media.

    It is up to US to help the ONLY Conservative in the race, Santorum.

    Donate here and help US take back the US AND make the liberal’s pointy heads explode.

    Are these the same Secret Texas oil Billionaires that are bad mouthing Obama about Solendra? I have heard about them from Obama’s commercials. You know the ones that appear to be written for 2nd graders.

13. Yet it’s Walker that spends his big money on lawyers from Chicago and mob boss attorneys.

    You were saying?
