WI-Sen: Marquette: Thompson leading Baldwin by 8

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I can't think of any example of coattails working that way.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Haha? Isn't that the line they used against Scott Walker? Divisive politics?

You should know a lot about divisive politics as you attempt it on a daily basis here.

Based on the Scott Walker example the people of Wiscsonsin prefer divisive politics to Dane County. I wonder how crying about divisive politics is supposed to work this time.

Except that wasn't the point I was trying to make...

Well, the article in question was certainly not about me. I am just a humble private sector citizen and am certainly not capable of something as spectacular as divisive politics.

You're very good at contradicting yourself without starting a new sentence or even needing to incorporate punctuation of any kind.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

She certainly wants to run against the guy who called her a Commie. :rolleyes:

I don't think it's wise politically, but is anything incorrect in that statement? Hint: the answer is no. 

Somehow I doubt Tammy Baldwin's philosophy has its roots in Marxism, unless we're defining 'roots' so extensively as to imply that Hovde's philosophy would have comparable routes in the comte de Maistre. Hint: American leftism has historically emphasized coopting the interests of people who would otherwise be Marxists into a left-liberal or tepidly social-democratic policy program.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The idea that to the 'traditional American' the difference between Marxism-Leninism and Anglo-American-style tepid social democracy isn't 'gigantic or important' is one of the worst things I've ever heard about American politics and public life.
