The Truth Shall Set You Free
Team Doyle’s credibility may have suffered some serious blows in recent weeks, but don’t expect them to turn over a new leaf anytime soon. Doyle and his flacks have become so skilled at lying to the press and public, even they can’t tell where the truth ends and the lies begin.
Yesterday Doyle campaign spokesman, Anson Kaye said the Governor’s financial ability to stay on the air from now until Election Day was due to “the broad and deep support for the governor in the state,” but there’s nothing broad or deep about Doyle’s financial support.
Doyle’s systematic shakedown of people who do business with the state has resulted in $1.15 million from out of state interests since 2002 --- over $415,000 last year alone. His average individual contribution is over $500 and he’s received more $10,000 contributions than any previous candidate for Governor.
The out of state bounty includes a check for $10,000 Doyle received from a Philadelphia litigator, on the very same day the man had an “official” meeting with Marc Marotta at the Department of Administration. According to Marotta’s calendar, Doyle campaign fundraiser Katie Boyce was scheduled to attend the meeting.
Anson Kaye claimed that Boyce arranged the meeting between Marotta and the soon to be maxed out contributor, but her name was listed on the schedule in error. Not withstanding the inappropriateness of a campaign worker arranging meetings for donors with state officials, Boyce’s name appears on Marotta’s calendar 18 times, despite repeated denials that the Governor’s campaign was working closely with the Administration to troll for money.
Doyle spokesperson Melanie Fonder said, "There's absolutely no connection between the campaign and government,” and she asserted that there was a “firewall” between the campaign and the administration. Apparently someone forgot to show Boyce and Marotta the wall.
The latest Doyle yarn was spun by DOA Executive Assistant, Sean Dilweg. Dilweg told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that state law allows the Governor, his son, three members of his office staff and two of his cabinet secretaries to attend a Packer-Bear football game at Chicago’s Soldier field at the expense of companies who do business with the state. Exactly what part of the state ethics code did Dilweg pull that from?
It’s been said that they truth shall set you free, and that’s exactly what team Doyle fears the most.

If you're going to start whinging and creebing about out-of-state money shouldn't you be talking about Mark Green's ARMPAC money?
It just seems to me that $30000 from The Hammer should be on the table for discussion here.
Sounds to me like the Republicans are just hacked off the Doyle is beating them at the game that Tommy invented and guys like Scott Jensen and John Gard perfected.
By the way how much money has Mark Green raised from people or people who work for corporations who directly benefited from the tax breaks he voted for in Congress?
You lefties have your own blogs. Truth is Mark green isn't under FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. Thruth is that Doyle is the most corrupt governor Wisconsin has ever had. He's the most liberal. He's also the ugliesy too.
Reagrdless of facts, court rulings andthe rule of law, the opponents of Doyle will continue to make false claims that the voters of Wisconsin see through.
Mr. Green is up to his eyeballs with his former Chief of Staff and now campaign manager, listed in the Abramoff scandal. Mr. Green hires the guy who authorized the illegal campainging on state time, as his new Chief of Staff.
Mr. Green refuses to give back the $30,000 from Tom DeLay, unlike every other member of COngress who got some did immediately. Using a lame claim that it was illegal to donate it, Green waited until a federal court shut down DeLay's ARMPAC and then gave 1/6 to a group that is a Who's Who of Wisc. GOP Women!
