So I decided to take a shot at the Assembly Republicans today..
It's that whole, they've been punching us in the teeth for so long, it's our turn to come out swinging type of thing.

Now that I'm the webmaster at the Winnebago Dems site I figured this was as good a time as any to take the fight to them and hold them accountable.

Tell me what you think:

1. I like it
I wish we would see something like this on the national level

Don't care about education

Fiscally Irresponsible

These are good labels to pin on the Republicans because they are true. I think it was Pelosi who said that Dems have to destroy the Republicans' brand. I agree.

2. Keep up the good work!
We've got to keep a close eye on these clowns. They think TABOR is a good idea and they keep trying to push this on us. How many times are they going to waste time and money trying to name a highway after Reagan and pass a concealed carry law? Let's start addressing the real problems in our state. Our education funding system is broken--programs are being cut right and left. Yet, we always have money for more prisons. If we can no longer educate our children we're going to need these state of the art prisons because that's where the children will end up. I really would like to see Gard put out of office!

5. Nice Job!
Keep up the good work. I know how exhausting keeping up a website can be -- did it for about two years and couldn't do it anymore. Thanks for what you're doing!

6. Well done, Messiah!
I think it's fantastic to link to current stories that support your statements. It's gonna take a fair amount of time to keep updated but you've taken the offensive and made it very powerful.

I'm passing it on to my Dem friends.

7. I think you've set the standard of what websites should look like.
Would you be willing to take on the State Dem site, too? They sure could use your help. In the fall election, I kept looking for updated info, and never found anything useful there.

Great work! :thumbsup:

I think you've hit on something there.....our rank and file members want RED MEAT....they need to be able to counter the Repub talking points....your site gives them that.

:toast:

10. Well some of the local Dems wanted me to also
accentuate the positives of the party instead of just making it a negative hit on Republicans. So I took my headlines, stuck them on another page but kept my headline theme and hit them hard with it and linked to more headlines.

Then I added a terrific Press Release from Doyle (sent out before the Convention) that addresses all these issues and gives people the alternative vision Democrats have for Wisconsin. In a way it kind of reads like a Campaign Ad... or so I think.

13. Of course I did.
What kind of mod would I be if I didn't give props to my homies at DU? :)
