The Rand Paul/Mike Lee/Jim DeMint budget balances the federal budget in 5 years.

The Gary Johnson budget would balance the federal budget in 2 years or less.

I concur - these budgets are better than Ryan's, however, support for them isn't that strong, unfortunately.

Now Tommy's Brother i would have voted for (may he rest in peace) but this establishment hack .. freak no ..Hey Tommy i thought you were gonna be first to get microchipped, what ever happened with that, you afraid of Little g - government

@Johnny -

Yes, Ed Thompson did have a much better platform and was unwavering in his commitment to it. But because of Ed, we got stuck with Doyle for 8 years!

@Bren -

Why do you liberals always use the G W Bush years as a baseline for everything? In case you haven't noticed, it's a whole new Republican Party thanks to the Tea Party! The Tea Party is pulling the GOP back to a federally limited government and financial conservatism platform.

You complain about job creation, but fail to acknowledge that it was Bill Clinton (D) who practically killed American industrialism and manufacturing.

Please cite your sources showing that Johnson "just babble ALEC-fueled talking points."

Why should the government set a rate cap on credit cards? Shouldn't lenders be able to set their own rates? Wouldn't competition keep rates reasonable? And if you don't like the rates, don't us a credit card - no one is forcing you to do so, are they? A credit card is not legal tender.

So now every road project tear's up the County in which it's located? But you're right in that Tommy is a big spending Republican.

Finally, you're voting for Baldwin!

Mr. Hoffa, I appreciate that you don't take time to gain in-depth understanding of issues, but the reason that the recession has a George W. Bush "baseline" is because the recession began during his administration. His policies exacerbated and exploded a looming problem. You've been informed of this before.

As with the other issues, I'm not wasting time on your requests since you won't read them through anyway. You probably aren't even reading this part now! I could write anything and you'll respond with a two-post commentary with a name-call or accusation at the bottom. ; )

@Bren -

Who's skimming/skipping exactly - not Hoffa!

Try again!

It is the criminal Banksters that OWN both partys that put us in this hole. The Wall street gang which pretty much owns the Federal Reserve did this. Who rammed TARP down everyones throat threatening martial law .. yes Hank Paulson x-goldman sachs and now little Timmy is doing the same thing .. but keep playin your left/right BS i guess the Banksters love it .. look over here while we rob you blind

@Johnny -

Didn't the GOP led House just vote and pass a bill that would audit the Federal Reserve? If it stalls in the Senate, I think we all know what side of the aisle will be responsible, won't we?

Thats right JRH .. Harry Reid said DOA .. now look back in 1995 when Harry Reid called for the Audit of the FED, called for it on the floor (of course there is video), now the piece O Sheeet has the nerve to table it .. Hmmm who is payin this freak off

So my point is it doesn't matter who does what, who votes this way or that .. as long at the end of the day the banksters win that is all the banksters care about .. but How does Bren or these other shills defend thier actions???

@morninmist -

Why did Tammy Baldwin write a letter requesting that Eric Holder investigate Waukesha County for election irregularities, even though Waukesha County is not in her congressional district, but didn't do the same when even more election irregularities were reported in Racine County?

Clearly, Baldwin only represents partisan interests.

Baldwin voted in favor of H Res 744 - Resolution of Disapproval of Representative Joe Wilson's Conduct.

Proof of her highly partisan representation.

I'm sure that The People's Republic of the City of Racine will warmly embrace Tammy.

If you went and had an open mind Hoff, you would learn good information. But I can count on you to stick with the teabagger mentality.

@morninmist -

Calling me a teabagger isn't a good way to try and win me over. I was actually just checking out Tammy's website. She appears to have a lot of interest in the City of La Crosse for some reason, even though it's not in her congressional district.

"Let’s make sure the people of La Crosse and all of Wisconsin know who’s not fighting for them."

Why the strange obsession with the City of La Crosse? Is this some kind of liberal code?

@morninmist -

If Tammy's so against big banks, as her website claims, then why did she vote twice in favor of TARP?

ha ha. You sure have a big head if you think I am trying to win you over. ha ha.

Mr. Hoffa, perhaps you should actually try reading the material on Tammy's website instead of just "checking it out" (a.k.a. "skimming"). Then it might make more sense.
; )

@Bren -

Hoffa did review Tammy's website in detail for content - that's how Hoffa knew that she was strangely interested in the City of La Crosse, even though it's outside her current district.

Very strange isn't it? Why La Crosse? Is that some kind of liberal code? I'm thinking that the polls in La Crosse need to monitored very closely this November! How many lefties from Minnesota will be voting at those polls in this election? I wonder...

Why don't you send her an email and ask, Independent friend.

Not sure, but I think Bren is sweet on Hoffa.

@Bren -

Hoffa sent an email as you suggested. We'll see what happens.

Hoffa
you can be fairly silly -or naive at times. Why do you keep asking why Baldwin is interested in the Lacrosse area and ask if it is a liberal code? The area went to Kloppenberg in April and recalled Kapenke in the summer of 2011. Than it went purplish red for Walker in the recall. She is working to make it blue again. No conspiracy theory in her plan--just in your teabagger brain.

@morninmist -

What are you talking about? La Crosse County went for Barrett in the recall 51.8% to Walker's 47.5%.

Are the lefty-liberal websites/blogs giving you some bad info again?

Go Away Tammy Go Away

@morninmist -

Seeing as how Tammy isn't on the ballot to retain her seat in the House, I hope that she has a plan B to fall back on after she loses in November.

Tammy is helping the folks in WI while the Teabaggers air their dirty minds.

...Baldwin's latest television commercial focuses on her work in Congress to get the U.S. Coast Guard to "buy American."

In the ad, Baldwin explains that, while Coast Guard cutters are "built in America," they are "powered by engines manufactured overseas."

Baldwin wants to change this circumstance. That's why she has sponsored "buy American" legislation that would require the Coast Guard to buy engines from American companies.

Since Wisconsin is a boat-building and engine-making state, Baldwin is not just taking the right stand for America. She is taking the right stand for Wisconsin workers.

"While the Coast Guard protects our shores, we can also protect our jobs," explains the congresswoman.

That's a winning message for the Democrat.

So, while the Republicans are spouting the usual free-trade nonsense and making the case for why electing any of them as senator would be a bad idea, Baldwin is making a case for herself that appeals across lines of partisanship and ideology.

That's a big part of why she is pulling ahead.

GOP "circular firing squad" lol. RT @gr8goldengirl: Why Baldwin is pulling ahead in Wis Senate race. #wiunion #p2 http://m.host.madison.com/ct/news/opinion/editorial/why-baldwin-is-pulling-ahead-in-senate-race/article_c5c3afaa-dabd-11e1-a0e4-001a4bcf887a.html

Next she can work on having the Obama busses "built in America". And the stimulus funded windmills "built in America". And the stimulus funded Fisker, 1%er cars, "built in America". The list could go on at infinitum. It may be better if the Coast Gaurd bought domestic engines, but it is really a drop in the bucket.

Maybe Tammy can work on getting Bren to buy a car assembled with union labor instead of her current Toyota that was assembled in a right-to-work-for-less state!

Teabaggers air their dirty minds? You aren't a bit hypocritical with your use of crude slang?
Tammy is helping people in Wisconsin - from Tammy's list of major accomplishments, listed on her house webpage, she boasts of bringing over $100 million federal dollars to her district to support important projects. Quick addition shows over $25 million of that money going to bike path and trail projects. Laudable I'm sure, but 25% of her good deeds?

Ha!! More BS feel good legislation .. Buy American .. is that he new "Hope n Change" .. morons

Well guess what, she's not running against anyone yet. Get a clue.

Building name recognition, Greg. Building name recognition.

@morninmist -

Apparently, you've never visited Tammy's website. After the donation page, the first thing you see are attacks against the GOP candidates!

Epic fail on this one - try again!

Name recognition was a big help to Falk. Oh, and she stayed positive too, until she didn't.
