Let me ask this, did Mr. Krug include the word "promise" as an
absolute to either statement? Look, politicians make claims
campaigning that the voters WANT to hear. Those candidates that
don't, can't get elected. If the voter is stupid enough to take
the bait and cast their ballot in favor of such a candidate so
be it. I like to look at what the person says campaigning then
their actions once elected, do the two match up? Did the person
try to complete all that they said? Is their success rate higher
than 75%? In Mr. Krugs situation, sure he said this and that but
his track record for getting things accomplished far out weigh
these trivial little things that the dems are running with. Did
Mr. Krug BREAK ANY LAWS? No, he did not. Can he be trusted? More
so than the local junior emperor who DID break a law. I put full
faith in Mr. Krug and he has a lot to accomplish yet, most I
agree with, some I don't.

If she or any other Democrat did the same thing. I would say
nothing about it. It would not bother me on a bit.
Changing they're mind on those two issues hurts no one.
These two issues are so trivial.
People change they're minds "renege " all the time. It is called
prerogative.
You've never done it?
Was it a serious issue for you to do it?

Not true. They aren't important to you, but may well have been
the basis for someone else's vote for Krug instead of his
competitor. That voter did not get the candidate they were
sold.
And yeah, since this is the next failed promise you'll pretend
wasn't important- Walker needs to be held to his 250K new jobs
promise too. Just as he would were he a Democrat.
If they are too stupid to not make promises they cannot keep,
they are too stupid to hold office.

The state is still running a long term deficit.
Walker merely abandoned GAAP and used the same accounting tricks
he slammed Doyle for using to kick the negative numbers down the
road.
In fact while Walker was crowing to us about eliminating the
deficit, he was simultaneously telling the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services that Wisconsin would have an
‘undisclosed deficit’ for the foreseeable future and needed to
boot people from Medicaid. Either we have a deficit or we do
not. Someone got lied to.
Erm...this, the Krug nonsense, it's exactly what I was talking
with UDKJack about in another thread. If you actually want
things to change you have to be willing to call your own guys
out when they lie, not cover for them.

OK I will.
Scott Krug maybe you shouldn't have said that {not taking per
diem and running for more then two terms } while running for
office that first time.
But except for that trivial short coming . Your doing a terrific
job as our Representative. Thank you.
There I called him on it.

IF YOU CAN STOP SHAKING LONG ENOUGH remember to watch Dr Phil
today. It is rerun but well worth it. It features a catfish
"victim" that just can not accept that she has been scammed.
Back to Krug, if your party can't come up with a better
candidate than "Donuts" Duncan, Krug should break his promise
not to seek re-election! >:(

Mr. Krug was on WFHR Rural Wisconsin Today program yesterday
and this was brought up. dana announced last fall of his
intention to run and Scott waited for a candidate to step
forward for the Republicans........ no one did. Scott can not
just hand the seat over to such a leftist progressive so he is
running again. If dana does win the election, be VERY prepared
for major tax and massive spending increases. Just saying!

Weak.
Fellow republicans aren't going to step on Krug's toes, they
seem happy with him. Had he announced he was not going to run
again there would have been another Republican candidate.
And yeah, Duncan is going to pass massive tax and spending
increases all by himself in a republican controlled assembly!
He's just that good. ;D

Probably go back to siphoning money off the government to
provide "job training".
Ever see his last set of job hunting tips? Groundbreaking stuff
like: "wear clean, presentable clothing". "arrive on time".
Complete and total waste of taxpayer's money.
