Tom Barrett has emerged from God knows where.
As usual, Milwaukee's mayor, miserable failure, has been AWOL. He's not a very visible presence in the city. (That's an understatement.)
But yesterday, Barrett showed up on the news. He didn't have some good news to share about Milwaukee. He wasn't discussing a plan to address a problem in the city. Barrett surfaced to slam Paul Ryan.
What a leader!
Tammy Baldwin and Gwen Moore joined in the show.
Here's video of the Democrats' staged, pathetic attempt to appear as they were holding a rally that could rival the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan event in Waukesha:
From TMJ4:
Mayor Barrett led a team of local Democrats, responding to the Paul Ryan VP candidate selection.
"He's a nice guy, he's a very nice guy," Barrett says. "The problem of course is that this is not about personalities, this is about policies."
The Mayor reminded people Congressman Ryan is the architect of a very controversial budget plan.
"We know that the plan ends medicare as we know it now for future generations," Barrett says.
"That there are big tax breaks for the wealthy while tax hikes on middle class families increase."
Congresswoman and U.S. Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin calls Ryan's fiscal policies flawed.
"The last thing that Wisconsin's middle class needs right now is a budget plan that drives our economy off a cliff, just as we are beginning to move in the right direction and move our economy forward," Baldwin says.
Congresswoman Gwen Moore, who has sat on the Federal Budget Committee with Ryan, says Ryan's plan would especially hurt seniors.
"Guts medicare, increasing cost to seniors by as much as $6,000," Moore says.
Class warfare.
Scare seniors.
I don't think this is a winning strategy for the Democrats.
Americans don't want ObamaCare and the Obama economy sucks.
Democrats are choosing to fall back on tired, old tactics.
No hope and change this time around.
It's understandable why Barrett has to attack. Obama's record is a disaster.
From that standpoint, Barrett and Obama have a lot in common.
I really don't know why Milwaukeeans are content to have Barrett as their mayor.
What has he done to improve the quality of life for citizens of the city?
Why would Americans be content with another four years of suffering under Obama?
I'm not better off. My family and friends aren't better off.
More misery, courtesy of Obama and company?
No, thanks.
