More Lawyers, More Lies

Jim Doyle's campaign whipped out another lawyer today and with him came another pack of lies. But don't expect the media to sit up and take notice. The Governor, his Administration and his campaign lost all credibility months ago.

For most candidates, a loss of credibility is devastating. Everything you say gets dissected and put under a microscope, but for Jim Doyle and top aides Susan Goodwin, Marc Marotta, and Sean Dilweg, the loss of credibility has been liberating.

Nobody expects team Doyle to tell the truth or to provide accurate and timely information, and the mainstream media is either too lazy or too fatigued to care anymore, so they're free to say anything they please without repercussion.

Doyle’s latest dirty lawyer trick was an encore to one he pulled this summer. Call for television stations to pull an ad because you don’t like it, and then send out a press release claiming the ad has already been pulled when one station is reviewing the request. Some media outlets will unwittingly report the story as told by the campaign and by the time the truth comes out, its yesterday’s news.

Doyle’s campaign has twice succeeded in forcing advocacy groups to spend money defending their advertising, but in each instance the ads were deemed accurate and stayed on the air.

The question is how many times Doyle will use this intimidation tactic and whether groups like All Children Matter will back down.

It looks like the answer to the second part of the question is no!

to accuse someone based on an 'unnamed source' as being "investigated' is wrong. Too bad you political partisans can't figure that out. Green has a lot more mud clinging to him than Doyle has. Do the names Ney, Abramoff, Delay, Norquist, Reed and Graul mean anything to you? If not you missed an excellent PBS expose last night that points right to what is wrong with today's so called 'conservative Republican'. I guess free meals at high dollar restaurants for your entire party and golfing trips to Scotland with the $5000 green fees paid by big money special interests is the way business is done in DC. Just ask Green's chief campaign man Mark Graul.

Dear trueconservative,

You are correct, sir or madam. Green has more to answer to than Doyle.

Look at Doyle's public record in Wisconsin over 16 years as AG and Governer. Has there ever been one solid breach of the public trust? Green's goblins and out-of-state attack dogs try to bang the drum of corruption, but there's nothing there. That's to Jim Doyle's credit as a man.
