Was Alberta Darling For Unemployment Insurance Before She Was For It? (recall, WI)

[iwishiwas]

It is hard to cut this detailed article down but it is convincing to me--she or her staff messed it (changed wording and dates)on her website. Repugs in WI have been making statements about how having Unemployment insurance does not give the unemployed an incentive to work (they are lazy and do not want to work)--so the Repug legislature has not taken the Federal extended unemployment funds. Now all of a sudden-this last week or so, they got buzy and now some want to pass the bill before the recalls. Go figure!!

Was Alberta Darling For Unemployment Insurance Before She Was For It?
One of the myriad of hot topics currently going on in Wisconsin is the issue of unemployment insurance.

In April, more than 10,000 Wisconsinites had their unemployment benefits end, solely because the state legislature was too busy finding new ways to stick it to workers, tax payers and voters to actually craft and pass legislation which would benefit these suffering people.
........................

In summary, it is fairly apparent that Darling only made any kind of statement regarding unemployment insurance as a direct result of the direct action taken by Wisconsin Jobs Now!. But the fact is she didn't make the statement until after the June 28 protests, and even then didn't put it into writing until two weeks later. To make matters even worse, she then tried to use deceptive methods to make it look like she was in favor of this legislation all along when, considering all the other actions and statements she had made during the past several months, the odds are that she really didn't give a damn about continuing the benefits until she realized how badly it would hurt her in her recall election. Her nonchalance towards the people suffering without these benefits is further shown by her lackadaisical approach to the dating of the press release.

It's bad enough that she doesn't care enough about the unemployed workers to feel motivated to enact this legislation back in April when the benefits ended. It's even worse that she would pretend that she actually did, when it was obvious that she didn't. And the worst part is that she is insulting the intelligence of the voters by lying about it all, and even then, not doing that very well.

2. Her smug face during the joint finance meeting

was enough to make a person puke. People were pouring their hearts out to the committee about how the budget repair bill would hurt them, but Darling and Vos sat there with smarmy, fake, uncaring smiles on their faces. People like Darling and Vos have no business being in office.
