re: #204 RadicalModerate
I’ve backed up my statements with links to real numbers provided by the campaigns and state Election Commission,
No you provided a link that was clearly biased as it left out any mention of the Union PACs that have spent tens of millions.
A Mother Jones article puts it this way:
The biggest spender on the Democratic side is We Are Wisconsin, a coalition of labor unions. Campaign finance filings show about $8.8 million in spending by the group so far. Other Democratic groups include the Greater Wisconsin Committee, a liberal advocacy organization that has pumped roughly $1.5 million into the recalls to date, and the state’s main teachers’ union, the Wisconsin Education Association Council, whose spending McCabe puts at about $500,000. Obama for America, the president’s reelection committee, is also involved in the recalls, organizing volunteers for get-out-the-vote drives.
Now how could your link leave out these groups and their spending?
It is not over. We know that during the 2011 recall Unions spent upwards of $15 million. If you only read the biased articles, you will only get a biased POV.
