I'm sure that's the case.<BR/><BR/>At the same time, lots of those individuals remain independent thinkers and simply recognize B.S. when they see it.<BR/><BR/>While it wouldn't surprise me if Governor Doyle concurs with much of the distaste for some of WMC's tactics, I'd like to see proof other than a random e-mail from a Sykesian drone that he's "orchestrating" it.<BR/><BR/>The BNN banner -- I just ripped it off from the website and photoshopped it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by.illusory tenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524761974822871419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506514005426983269.post-65183884492767399272008-08-25T17:29:00.000-05:002008-08-25T17:29:00.000-05:00One Wisconsin Now is doing some great work, but it...One Wisconsin Now is doing some great work, but it's silly to pretend that OWN, as well as quite a few of the other organizations on the left, don't have ties to the DPW and the Doyle administration.<BR/><BR/>I'm not implying that there's anything illegal happening, but there's a revolving door between the capital, the party, and a lot of the higher profile pac's, c3's, and c4's in Wisconsin. Things are the same on the Republican side of course, although they tend to use a different mix of organization types.<BR/><BR/>Both as a result of these ties, and due to the desires of certain large donors, both individual and institutional, the priorities of "independent" organizations on both sides of the political spectrum tend to align very closely with the needs and desires of the political parties and their leaders.<BR/><BR/>So while the attacks on WMC may not be a coordinated conspiracy, with the likely exception of Wiley's article they're probably not exactly a coincidence either.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I love your 666 BlogNetNews WI ranking.
