Madison, Wis. – As former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk travels throughout the state to increase her name recognition for the upcoming May 8th democrat primary race to face Governor Scott Walker in the June election, the Friends of Scott Walker campaign announced the launch of a new website, falkfacts.com. The website is being used to highlight what the campaign is calling the former county executive’s “outrageous tax-and-spend policies.”

“Failed two-time statewide candidate Kathleen Falk’s career in elected office has been wrought with one tax increase after another,” explained Walker campaign spokeswoman Ciara Matthews. “During her fourteen years as the senior executive of Wisconsin’s second largest county, Kathleen Falk raised property taxes on her constituents every year she was in office. In her quest for the governor’s office in this baseless recall effort, she has promised to hand over control of the state to the special interests bankrolling...

At 7pm tonight, in Science Hall, the University of Wisconsin will welcome a speech by a known terrorism advocate: Mads Gilbert. This shameful event is yet another black mark on a campus known for widespread anti-American and anti-semitic sympathies.

For those who do not know Mads Gilbert, he is a medical doctor who is closely aligned with the Norwegian Red Party and Workers’ Communist Party, which openly expressed support for both Stalin and Pol Pot.

Mads Gilbert famously supported the 9/11 attacks, telling the Norwegian daily newspaper Dagbladet “If the U.S. government has a legitimate right to bomb and kill civilians in Iraq, then there is also a moral right to attack the United States”. When the shocked reporter asked if that meant that he supported terrorist attacks against the United States, he responded: “Terror is a bad weapon, but the answer is yes, within the context I have mentioned.”

Mads Gilbert has more recently been in the news for his work on behalf of the terrorist group Hamas....

Arrogance and hypocrisy were on full display Tuesday evening as Dane County Board of Supervisors Chair Scott McDonell gloated over what he boldly identified as a partisan win in what should have been non-partisan, issues-based elections.

McDonell declared election night that the Progressive tax-spend-borrow-tax-some-more mantra will continue in Dane County, even in the face of a staggering $240,000,000 debt (over $93,500 a day for 2012 debt load), a downgraded FITCH Bond rating, and an October 2011 “Outlook Negative” warning offered on the future for Dane taxpayers.

“This breaks the back of the Republican Party in Dane County,” McDonell boasted. It must have been a misquote.

The RPDC is the fastest growing Republican Party in the state. We have hundreds of young, strong backs. We have even stronger minds, and they all know that you can’t keep buying swampland, cutting services to the most vulnerable, laying off County Deputies in the face of the Heroin tsunami, or borrowing your way out of a recession as McDonell has done.

Democrat Party Gubernatorial nominee-to-be Kathleen Falk has been under conservative fire recently for signing a pledge that, as Governor, she will veto any budget that doesn't return complete control of Wisconsin's schools to labor unions. The Republican Party of Dane County is outraged by this criticism of Ms. Falk and her union fealty.

Conservative attacks, particularly those launched by Republicans, have been blatantly hypocritical. For example, WEAC created a health insurance company called WEA Trust, then forced Wisconsin schools to use it and pay additional costs of tens of millions of dollars statewide each year without raising service levels. Aren't Republicans supposed to support entrepreneurship and profits?

The real question is why WEAC hasn't branched into additional sectors. Maybe they could open up a food catering...

The Republican Party of Dane County's annual county caucus is February 25th.

Wisconsin Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch takes on our former Dane County Executive in a recent piece to the Cap Times.  Apparently bored with retirement, Kathleen Falk has been attacking Governor Walker's reforms but is noticeably short on how she would address the same problems.  The Lt. Governor also takes Kathleen to task for her record here in Dane County.

Voter ID has been a hot button topic in Wisconsin for some time.  Republicans want to end voter fraud while Democrats want to keep it alive.  The Democrats are as aware as we are that voter fraud benefits them.  We at the Republican Party of Dane County don’t at all begrudge the Democrats for wanting to win elections.

But the official spokesman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin Graeme Zielinski has taken things to a new level. He’s explicitly accusing Republicans of trying to suppress the vote of minorities. He’s accused Republicans of “voter-caging against African-Americans”. When Media Trackers did an investigation into vote fraud committed by Sen. Lena Taylor, Zielinski responded, “You are a racist and are going down.”

Democrats playing the race card are nothing new. It’s really the only arrow they have left in their quiver.  But historically, the race card has been played in a subtle...
