Sarah will take care of all of this from her helicoptor

Ahh. Now we are seeing the root of Gov. Walkers agenda:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: Funded by the Koch Bros.
http://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/02/wisconsin-scott-walker-koch-brothers

According to Wisconsin campaign finance filings, Walker's gubernatorial campaign received $43,000 from the Koch Industries PAC during the 2010 election. That donation was his campaign's second-highest, behind $43,125 in contributions from housing and realtor groups in Wisconsin. The Koch's PAC also helped Walker via a familiar and much-used politicial maneuver designed to allow donors to skirt campaign finance limits. The PAC gave $1 million to the Republican Governors Association, which in turn spent $65,000 on independent expenditures to support Walker. The RGA also spent a whopping $3.4 million on TV ads and mailers attacking Walker's opponent, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Walker ended up beating Barrett by 5 points. The Koch money, no doubt, helped greatly.

motherjones...now that's funny, gotta do better then this photo!

Didn't even bother reading it did you? The quotes and figure are true.

Do your own search on the words Koch Brothers and Scott Walker. The 85,200 results I got all say pretty much teh same thing.

Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, It's Jesse Jackson!!!!!

I wonder. Is Motherjones a Liberal site? Just saying!!!

Now it is the blame of the Tea Parties because supposedly these same Billionaire Bros. are behind the Right Wing Conspiracy NOW known as the Tea Party Movement!!!

And the police and fire unions supported the Gov wheras the teacher unions supported his opponent. Looks like the teachers guessed wrong, maybe they can quickly get some dues together and bribe Walker, right?
