Democrat Mary Burke has been running hard for Governor of Wisconsin on “her” jobs plan. It has more pages than Scott Walker’s plan. This means he’s not as deep a thinker as she is. As the deeper thinker she makes a better candidate for governor. Democrats will tell you- That’s a fact!
I’ve read through a lot of economic development plans in putting together this plan and none of them were four pages long. We’re talking about a state’s economy, we’re talking about our future and it deserves some serious thinking and some real detail and some real plans. So, yes and setting goals, making sure you have plans to achieve those goals, and that you have the benchmarks for knowing if you’re on track.
The fact that she did none of the thinking on her jobs plan somehow seems relevant to her own argument about her qualifications for governor, don’t you think? (As does the fact that Scott Walker’s 4 pages….actually worked.)
From Dan McLaughlin at Red State.
“…when a politician publishes a campaign website, you should not really be surprised to find material prepared by consultants who re-use the same stuff. A lot of Kaczynski’s articles in this vein are amusing but not really all that consequential. But here’s the thing:
…
Burke isn’t just recycling boilerplate on her website – she’s spent months running around the state telling the voters that they should read her jobs plan because it’s proof that she’s smarter, more detail-oriented, and more qualified by private sector experience to help Wisconsin’s economy grow,. She has been actively touting the plan and circulating copies rather than just letting it lie fallow in a forgotten “Issues” section of a website. That’s a much bigger deal, and voters who may have warmed to Burke’s sales pitch on how much work she put into the plan should reconsider their assessments now that she had blamed the whole thing on an outside consultant who sold her a plan that already went down to defeat with gubernatorial candidates in Indiana and Tennessee.
So if you Like “Mary Burke’s” Job plan, you can keep it – as your own! When you run for governor.
Suggestion: Hey Wisconsin! Does anyone know how many times candidate Mary Burke has said ‘My Plan’ with regards to the jobs plan that was never hers to begin with? That would be powerful stuff given the weight she has put on the intellectual prowess one should expect from their next governor.
