Stop lying about Leah Vukmir

Editorials I quit reading after the first sentence:
Leah Vukmir has gotten herself in another mess of her own making. The career politician who desperately wants to go to Washington …
“Career politician”? That would be Tammy Baldwin, would it not? As for Leah Vukmir, she worked more than 20 years as a certified pediatric nurse practitioner, receiving her nursing degree from Marquette University in 1980 and her master’s degree in nursing from UW Madison in 1983. She was only elected to the legislature in 2002, at age 44. O.K., I read the rest of “Vukmir should stop lying about Baldwin’s handling of Kavanaugh’s pick” in, where else, The Capital Times. The lengthy jeremiad never gets around to identifying the supposed lie but we extrapolate that Vukmir charges Baldwin with a knee-jerk rejection. The Capital Times tip toes around that inconvenient truth, disclaiming that “Baldwin examined Kavanaugh’s record and quickly determined she could not support his nomination.”
Leah Vukmir
Quickly, indeed! Politifact notes that Baldwin came out against both Kavanaugh and Gorsuch before meeting with them. Three days after Kavanaugh’s nomination was announced, in fact. But she did meet with Obama nominee Merrick Garland. Nonetheless, The Capital Times prostitutes itself saying “Baldwin’s approach to the Kavanugh nomination has been serious and thoughtful.” If you say so.
“Career politician” !!!!

  1. BOOM CHAKA LAKA!

    Baldwin, was like “Suuuppper Seerrious” I am surprised they did not call Vukmir, the Eva Braun of the Wisconsin State Senate while they were at it. I worked on the Square and saw the signs saying Walker = Hitler. So that would make her a Nazi as well. Am I right!!
    Tami’s “Buy American Bill” where was this bill at the start of her 6 year term. Please, does she really thing we take her seriously? Can you say “Pandering” another worthless bill if passed that would never be enforced.

  2. “Baldwin examined Kavanaugh’s record and quickly determined she could not support his nomination.”

    Quickly? Hmmmm……. There’s something fishy going on with Democrats in DC.

    Democrats stated at the hearing said they couldn’t properly vet Kavanaugh because 400,000 documents wasn’t enough, they need more and more and more. How can Baldwin make such a decision without every document, note or email that happens to have Kavanaugh’s name on it; Baldwin is veering away from the approved left’s talking points by stating that she has made a decision that she can’t support Kavanaugh based on his record. Are the Democrats at the heading less intelligent than Baldwin? I think it’s back to the Progressive reeducation camp for Baldwin.

  3. Dave,
    You want The Cap Times to stop lying about a Republican? Seriously Dave, in what parallel universe is The Cap Times ever going to stop lying about or misrepresenting a Republican. This parallel universe you seek doesn’t exist. 😉

    “The Capital Times prostitutes itself ….” Shame on you, Dave. It should read “The Capital Times sex-workers itself ….”

      Are you seriously comparing what the Democrats are doing in regards to Kavanaugh nomination as being some kind of “equivalent” to what the Republicans did to the Garland nomination?

      P.S. I disagreed with what the Republicans did with the Garland nomination.

      1. It’s really sad how much Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s mind fades in and out when she speaks; my mother is a year older than her and her mind doesn’t do that nearly as bad, my father’s mind doesn’t do that at all and he’s three years older than Ginsberg.

        As soon as Brett Kavanaugh takes his seat on the court I think Ginsberg needs to announce a firm date of her retirement so the process of filling her seat is already underway before she retires thus making every an effort to maintain the proper number of justices on the court.

  6. […] Leah Vukmir “a career politician.” The first time might have been just lazy and sloppy. But having been corrected on it, the hyper-partisan Democrat(ic) party spear carrier doubles down on it […]
