Jim Doyle, Governor of the great State Of Wisconsin. How embarrassing. This is a good state and under the control of a good governor it could be great.
But that isn't the case for "Diamond" Jim Doyle - why "Diamond" Jim Doyle? Well, he has taken millions from the Indian Tribes in this state for his campaign funds in return he has promised fantastic deals for the operations of casinos.
It has gotten so bad that Big Jim Doyle is willing to sell anything to get money for his campaign. He will sell the entire state to anyone that is will to kick in money for his reelection, and the worst part is, he has already sold large chunk of it to out of state concerns. This may be hard to believe, but this is a large part of his problem right now. Jim Doyle has never had a problem raising money, just ask Jack Abrimoff about that.
I heard today that there is a Federal Grand Jury formed to investigate him. I wouldn't think this would be a good thing so close to an election, but then again, one has to remember this is Wisconsin, and, along with being a tax hell and litigation nightmare, is renowned for being the 'voter fraud capital' of the country. Big Jim knows a thing or two about how to win elections.
So Jimmy isn't too worried about being investigated for corruption, stealing, fraud and several other and assorted felonies, he has the Democratic machine to back him up, including the state supreme court. After all, this is were the laws are made and changed in this state. The legislature is there only to approve them. They can't disapprove them; not aloud.
When Big Jim "Two Face" Doyle has a problem, he sends one of the boys over to talk to the judges and explains what needs to be done to make things right. Since Big Jim just appointed a liberal judge to the court a few years ago and changed the balance in his favor, it has been smooth sailing ever since.
Besides if there ever was a problem with one of the judges that had some stupid idea concerning conscience and ethics, the boys would explain to his honor how some things can go wrong in peoples lives and, poof, everything is hunky dory. No problems. We are just one big happen family.
If all else fails, Big Jim has a back plan that is fool proof, he has the trial lawyers of this state in his pocket. How do you think Wisconsin got in the headlines of the Wall Street Journal twice now in the last two weeks.
Remember when the State Supreme Court ruled that when you sue someone they don't have to have anything to do with the problem, all you have to do is show that some how your problem is relative to their companies. Now you can take them all to the cleaners.
The article in the Wall Street Journal of last Thursday made the point that lawyers will flock to Wisconsin given the new climate of litigation. The lead paint case is making headlines as we speak.
The plaintiff is suing seven paint manufactures but he can't identify which company made the paint that he ate years ago and he can't identify which, if any, of the companies made the lead that was in the paint. Under Wisconsin law now, after the ruling of the supreme court and Big Jim Doyle vetoed the claims cap that the legislators sent him, all seven can be sued and with no limit to the award.
WOW Everyone wins except the state of Wisconsin and it businesses. And the winners are Big Jim "Two Face" Doyle, trial lawyers, the Democratic Party, (full coffers), and the plaintiff, to some degree, if the lawyers leave him anything after they take their cut.
On top of all this, remember the School Choice problem that the black community is hammering him on and the Milwaukee radio station we discussed recently is still giving him fits. With the WEA screaming that they want School Choice capped where it is and the fact that Big Jim in the pocket of the WEA, he has little room to maneuver. heh
What a great state to be from.(not really) I hope and pray we can dump this man in November, but I won't hold my breath.
