LAWL, That's kinda contrary to the monetary evidence posted in this thread, no?

While it is contrary to the comparison of funds raised, it is not contrary to the political reality and history of WI public unions.
I will have to find the figures again, but several days ago I read about how the unions had poured millions into the recall election. A lot of it from out of state.
What the unions are really pissed about, since the WI reforms have gone into effect including making union membership voluntary, public sector union membership has dropped almost 50% in that state.

Yeah, go find the figgers, Rick. Go find those figgers. I think you'll find that walker spent a lot of out of state money.(or out of state money was spent on his behalf)
Citizen's United, all perfectly legal. Legal. Nobody is saying otherwise.

Yes he did, he also raised more in-state and had a bigger turn out. That does not change the fact that the lefties and unions did the same things, and are just mad because this year for the first time in a long time the right is raising more money then they are. Heck outside unions spent close to $100,000.00 on ad buys against the Lt. Gov alone and she did not raise anywhere near the money that Walker did.
I will keep trying to find those figures. IF I remember correctly (which I may not) Outside unions spent around $19 million for Walker's recall.
So did you miss the part where the challenger was subject to donation limits that did not apply to the incumbent or are you willfully ignoring it?
Oh, c'mon PG! This is a bona fide David slaying Goliath.
(we'll ignore the fact that this time, we gave David a AR 15, and Goliath the sling and tied an arm behind his back)
Neither. You notice I keep saying that the unions spent on Walker's recall election but nothing about supporting the challenger? There are reasons for that. When I get more time later I will post the facts that I can dig up, but I do remember that there was someone else the unions supported first and that most of the money was not spent to support the challenger but to attack Walker before whats his name became his challenger.
