I can't imagine that it was actually about the money.

1. Among other things,
it was about his attempt to shift the federal money over into road projects. Hmmmmm, who has friends who are in the road construction business??? I wonder... :shrug:

2. But he must have known ahead of time he couldn't
use the money for anything else. He couldn't be that stupid, could he?

Its equally amazing to think he'd rather bring zero jobs to Wisconsin than to bring a single union job.

3. Also a 30 second Election Ad
like MIl. County and his NO property tax increase lie.

4. Part of it is "Democrats are for Trains, so we must be against it"
and take the anti-public transportation position just to be different and "stick it to the environmental do-gooders in Maidson". :puke:

5. Democrats are for the Environment, so we must be against it
even if it screws things up for all future generations... because we're Republicans, and yes, we're really that vindictive and stupid.
