60. I saw half of the debate & from what I saw, Barrett was the winner

from the rational point of view.
Walker's shifty expression between 20:56 - 21:07 pretty much capsulizes the attitude & ineptness (as leader of the gang who couldn't shoot straight) we've come to know. Eighty-five percent of Barrett's contributions have come from Wisconsinites; 60-70% of Walker's contributions have come from out of state. The question regarding the John Doe investigation begins at 25:17. Walker boasted about having "high integrity" since being an eagle scout. He served with "high integrity" in state assembly, as account executive; now as governor, he will "continue to have high integrity". Walker claimed this investigation started because his office asked for it two years ago. "We had concerns about someone who was involved with a veterans-related program & we asked the DA to look into it. That's why we're involved & why we continue to cooperate; we haven't been the target of this." (The arrests of his key aides were just coincidental. Barrett pointed out that Walker is the only governor in this country who has a criminal defense fund. He has spent $100,000 on criminal defense lawyers, one on federal & one on state charges. Walker's top aides had a network in his office where there was a secret computer system that did fund raising & campaigning. When Walker found out, did he order an investigation? No, he sent an e-mail to them stating that "we can't afford to have any more stories." Walker's concerns were about public relations, not about criminal investigations. Barrett asked for two things. He asked for Walker to clear the record, to show everyone the e-mails that he sent to "that criminal enterprise, if you will, that secret system in his office". Barrett also asked, who is paying for Walker's criminal defenses? The people in the state have a right to know who is paying for his criminal defenses. |
