The point of the OP is this.... these are the sound bites Walker is currently using when on the MSM. It's George Lightbourn from Wisconsin Policy Research Institute whispering in Scott's ear "repeat after me."

In three interviews that I saw given on January 17th. He used "big government union" no less then 15 times. While in truth this is a grass roots movement.

Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are references to Walker spinning the total number of signatures as being fraudulently submitted, when in truth the petitions were checked before submission with any obvious signatures removed. It's also a slap at the GAB board. While GAB was simply following the procedure laid down in the statues until that procedure was changed through the courts.

"9 million" is the sound bite being used to refer to the cost of the recall election. It's an attempt to change the frame in essence saying Democrats are wasteful spenders. When in truth and I'll use the a democratic sound bite here "It's a down payment on our future."

"80 times" is this obsequious reference to a quote from a local television station from an anonymous source picked up by GOP favorable MSM which then spread it nationally. It has no credibility as to source and Walker is using it as fact.

Mike Meyers is aactually sideways shout out to DU'er OTOH, a gentleman I got to know through the old election reform forum.

I have taken some latitude while admittedly giddy at the overwhelming number of signatures submitted January 17th. ..and lending to sarcasm, one of the regularly harvested fruits here at DU, it's refreshing to run around the house naked this time of year in Wisconsin. The sound bites need to be shoved down his throat as blatant spin.
