FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Big-name Republican politicians have travelled to Wisconsin to campaign for Mr
Walker, whose fiscally austere policies were seen as a beacon of good
practice by many Republicans who accuse Mr Obama of bloating public spending
and failing to tackle the US’s ever-growing debt-mountain.
Mr Obama
has conspicuously failed to campaign in person for the Democrat challenger,
the mayor of Milwaukee Tom Barrett, leading to taunts from Republicans that
he was running scared from a defeat that could highlight the President’s
fading star power.
“If I were the president, I wouldn’t want to be attached to a loss,”
said Rebecca Kleefisch, the Republican Lt-Governor, who is also facing a
recall election. “It also doesn’t bode well for the President if he
comes into Wisconsin and then doesn’t have the potency in order to lift Tom
Barrett to a win.”
The Obama campaign has insisted that the President has been too busy to
campaign, a claim that attracted some ridicule since Mr Obama has found time
to attend fund-raisers in both Minneapolis and Chicago in recent days – both
a short hop by helicopter from Wisconsin.
David Axelrod, chief strategist for Mr Obama, said the campaign has spent more
than $1 million on the race.
“Our entire field operation is committed to it, we’ve got hundreds of
lawyers up there for voter protection programmes, so we’re invested in it
and we’re very much in the corner of Mayor Barrett,” he added.
The Wisconsin campaign has been fought largely on the issue of job creation, a
key issue in November’s general election where Mr Obama now looks vulnerable
following a sharp slowdown in job creation in the last three months.
And in another barometer of national trends, the outcome will also reflect the
power of outside money to swing the vote, with Mr Walker outspending his
Democrat opponent after raising some $30m, more than half from out-of-state
sources.
Among the big donors are Charles and David Koch, the oil billionaires who have
been reviled as political “contract killers” by the Obama
campaign, and have invested more than $10 million in Wisconsin since
February 2011.
The Wisconsin vote is also seen as a key test of both parties to get out the
vote – the so-called “ground game” – pitting the organising
power of the unions against the grassroots fervour of the Republican’s Tea
Party movement, which has strongly backed Governor Walker.
Conservatives have traditionally feared and respected the left’s ability to
mobilise voters, but on Monday night were preparing to claim a symbolic and
morale-boosting victory for the organising powers of the right.
