The Truth About Paul Ryan | The Progressive

The Truth About Paul Ryan | The Progressive
Brad Nelson
Here is a link to a story on Paul Ryan. It is amazing that the guy gets elected despite the utter devastation repub policies have had on his district where unemployment, job losses, and poverty are highest in the state. His secret is that he has so much more $$$ to spend on his campaign than his unknown, weak dem challengers. In the 2...010 election the disparity was an astounding 325:1. Ryan is congenial in person and glad hands people, then goes back to DC and votes against his constituents best interests. Dems like Obama praise him for having proposed a serious budget plan, which doesn't helpSee More

What about Walmart?
Folks have asked about Walmart. If Walmart's anti-employee activities weren't enough for you in the past, the data shown below should convince you that the Waltons are as anti-labor as they get. Their PAC gave Walker $15,000 on October 8, 2010, and the ...Walton family has contributed $5000 to Walker as individuals: 10/08/2010 Wal-Mart Stores/WAL-PAC = $15,000.00 09/29/2010 Walton, Lynne Bentonville, AR 72712 Walmart Stores = $1,500.00 09/29/2010 Walton, Jim Bentonville, AR 72712 Walmart Stores = $1,500.00 09/29/2010 Walton, Christy Jackson, WY 83001 Walmart Stores = $1,000.00 09/29/2010 Walton, Alice Millsap, TX 76066 Walmart Stores = $1,000.00 That's a total of $20,000 from the owners of Walmart.

Aides To GOP Governor Indicted For Trying To Suppress Black Voter Turnout In 2010 Campaign | ThinkProgress

"The indictment, handed up by a Baltimore City grand jury, came after an eight-month investigation by State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt into tens of thousands of robocalls that went out late on Election Day. A caller instructed voters in Democratic areas to stay home and “relax” because Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley had already won. In fact, the polls were still open. [...]

The indictment describes a document titled “The Schurick Doctrine” and says that it was “designed to promote confusion, emotionalism, and frustration among African-American Democrats.”"
