Charlie Sykes is shocked…

…that the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel gave Jim Doyle higher marks when it comes to ethics than Mark Green.

I wish I could say the same.

But the only time the Journal Sentinel cialis sales rx guid, health 86df2aab-9998-484e-bd16-b1e71b875c84.aspx”>shocked me lately was when they conceeded that Mark Green couldn’t be any worse when it comes to business development than Jim Doyle has been.

Eugene Kane a moderate?

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane points out that despite what you see at political rallies, viagra sale sildenafil not all Democrats march in lockstep with their parties and neither do all Republicans.

He’s 100% right.

The problem with our two party system is it makes you swallow all the crap “your” party bundles up with the one or two issues you care about.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel…strike two.

The second installment in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel‘s “I Hate Mark Green” Series of editorials, best viagra cure tells us nothing about Mark Green…and a great deal about the Journal Sentinel.

First:

It’s almost laughable how the paper tries to give Doyle credit for being tough on crime:

Our review of the record suggests that Doyle is both tougher and smarter than Green

But does everything they can not to hold him accountable for the crazy crime wave that has been occuring (especially in Milwaukee) under his watch:

Though it wasn’t as steep as here, sildenafil buy an uptick took place throughout the nation in 2005 – suggesting the causes may transcend state borders.

In other words, look because crime is some sort of natural phenomena that ebbs and flows everywhere, we certainly can’t expect Jim Doyle to do anything about it.

They go on to say:

In his first budget, Doyle took a bite out of revenue sharing, hurting efforts by cities to hire cops. But facing a huge deficit, he had little choice.

(Of course, he had a choice, he could have greased his buddies in WEAC a little less, for example.)

Second:

“Guns” is not another way to spell “crime.”

Saying that Mark Green is “soft” on crime because he doesn’t believe in the same draconian anti-citizen gun control measures that Jim Doyle does is illogical at best and disingenous at worst.

There is literally no correlation between the number of guns in an area and the amount of crime in that area.

None.

Zero.

The only correlation is between the number of PEOPLE who are willing to commit crimes and the number of crimes committed…with or without guns.

Remember, the Journal Sentinel bases their conclusion that Jim Doyle is better than Mark Green on crime on just one thing: Mark Green believes law-abiding citizens have a right to protect themselves and Jim Doyle doesn’t.

In the paper’s view, Mark Green helping you achieve that right would make all of us less safe…a consequence that has NEVER happened in any state that added a concealed-carry law. (And 48 states in the country already have one.)

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s editorial ends with:

Wisconsin is safer with Doyle at the helm.

But it’s only safer for the criminals who never have to worry that their victims might possess the power to protect themselves.

What’s “news” about it?

CNN is defending showing footage of “insurgent” snipers in Iraq shooting at American troops by saying:

That the decision was “a difficult one, viagra sales unhealthy but for a news organization, site the right one. Our responsibility is to report the news.”

Really? What’s the “news” here?

That people are shooting at U.S. troops?

I thought we knew that already.

Maybe the next time CNN airs an “insurgent” propaganda film they can run some text over it explaining what exactly is “new” about these dirtballs trying to kill Americans.

U.S-backed government in Iraq?

I just heard an NPR reporter use the phrase “U.S.-backed government in Iraq.”

I’m sure he meant to say, cialis advice “the democratically-elected government of Iraq.”

Who’s really being disingenous on the illegal immigrant issue?

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel‘s article attacking the GOP’s use of illegal immigration as an issue in the Wisconsin race for Governor says:

“With the Mexican border well more than 1, discount cialis diagnosis 000 miles away, online the emphasis on illegal immigration as a hot-button issue in Wisconsin might seem odd to some.”

Really? So illegal immigrants must all be staying right in those border states? They never…

…move to Milwaukee and march in the streets demanding that they be given the same rights as native born Americans and legal immigrants?

And certainly there isn’t a Democrat mayor there to greet them with “Buenas tardes.”

I suppose the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just forgot their fawning coverage of the “Day Without Immigrants” rally in Milwaukee.

Or their story on the local Labor Day parade where advocates for illegal immigrants outnumbered representatives of organized labor?

Illegal immigration and its impact on Wisconsin is a legitimate issue. The Democrats and their cronies at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are uncomfortable with it because they are on the losing side.

Of course, help the Wisconsin governor doesn’t have to make policy about the border…but we do need policies to deal with the illegals who are already here.

The Journal Sentinel’s attempts to dismiss this issue as irrelevant is just as partisan and disingenous as they keep accusing Republicans of being on this issue.

A shout out to Patrick McIlheran

Patrick McIlheran – the only consistently sane human being still writing opinion pieces for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (at least since Rick Essenberg was sent back to the minor leagues) – occasionally links to this blog.

I just wanted him to know I’ve noticed and appreciate the occasional affirmation.

(Especially since most of the people who link to me usually do so under titles like “el diablo” or “fictional fascist“.)

I didn’t necessarily think it was Jim Doyle’s fault that Menards is expanding outside Wisconsin.

At least, cialis buy for sale I didn’t until the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote an editorial saying it wasn’t Doyle’s fault.

As far as I’m concerned, cialis generic viagra every day is opposite day when it comes to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial board.

Whatever they say, I immediately believe the opposite.
