Eleanor Clift and Scott Walker

Apparently, Eleanor Clift doesn't understand elections in the United States. She doesn't get how the process works.

From Noel Sheppard, NewsBustsers:

Newsweek's Eleanor Clift on Friday amazingly asked, "Since when does Scott Walker represent 'the people'?"

Such happened during a heated discussion on PBS's "The McLaughlin Group" about the goings-on in Wisconsin....

Video.



Transcript, from NewsBusters:

PAT BUCHANAN, MSNBC: You've got to stop the, they call it collective bargaining. It is collusive bargaining. What you've got is a union puts enormous amounts of money in, they get their buddy in the governor’s chair, then they get together, they cut a deal, give them a sweetheart contract and give it to the taxpayers. What this Governor Walker is saying, “Those days are over. We've got somebody representing the people now, and this is going to be an adversary proceeding between you folks and us.”

JONATHAN CAPEHART, WASHINGTON POST: None of these deals are over unless you’re police or firefighters.

ELEANOR CLIFT, NEWSWEEK: Since when does Scott Walker represent "the people"? He’s representing…

BUCHANAN AND MONICA CROWLEY TOGETHER: He got elected!

CLIFT: …the money interests that helped him get elected including…

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, HOST: Let her finish.

CLIFT: …including lots of money from the Koch brothers.

First, about the Koch brothers--

I am so sick of the Leftists like Clift sliming the Koch brothers. They have every right to donate to candidates and causes.

They donated $43,000 to Governor Walker. Relatively speaking, that was a drop in the bucket in terms of all that Walker raised for his campaign.

Second, about "the people"--

I AM "THE PEOPLE."

I voted on November 2, 2010. I helped elect Scott Walker to be governor of Wisconsin. I voted for Republicans in the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly.

I also voted for Ron Johnson to represent me in the U.S. Senate. I helped to fire Russ Feingold.

Sweet success.

These politicians took their messages to the people and we voted.

WE chose Walker to be our state's governor.

It really angers me that 14 AWOL Wisconsin Senate Dems and a mob of Leftists, some using thug tactics, are trying to overturn the results of the election and ignore the will of the people.

Clift should be ashamed for saying Walker doesn't represent "the people."

WE, THE PEOPLE, elected him.
