OK, now what about you, Eman?

Thanks for responding, PanamaRed. I thought it was a curious coincidence in light of your position on this article that you had chosen "Red" as part of your name. Thanks again for clearing that up for me.

No billnewbie, I am not L.D. Rockwell.

Well, are you?

Eman, are you Kedzie?

O.K. I'll ask again and not assume that the lack of an answer is an answer, just in case it was overlooked. PanamaRed, you wouldn't happen to be L.D. Rockwell, would you?

RAF, I identified the link as ONE source of information. The information in the paragraph at the bottom of the web page clearly states, "Keep in mind that ratings done by special interest groups are biased." The votesmart web page also provides this caveat, "In addition, some groups select votes that tend to favor members of one political party over another, rather than choosing votes based solely on issues concerns. Nevertheless, they can be invaluable in showing where an incumbent has stood on a series of votes in the past one or two years, especially when ratings by groups on all sides of an issue are compared. Website links, if available, and descriptions of the organizations offering performance evaluations are accessible by clicking on the name of the group."
Now some, like you, only find a single source of information that fits your narrow minded view and that's all you can handle. More informed individuals take a quantitative approach and seek many sources of information in an effort to gain a better understanding of how the candidate will vote on specific issues. The web site is only putting out information it has collected and allowing the viewer to form their own opinion. You would be better informed if you actually READ ALL THE INFORMATION instead of simply making assumptions based on your own bias.

So, according to the link provided by PanamaRed, Sen. Kedzie is a strong supporter of Wisconsin business. Now, according to everything I've heard, Wisconsin could benefit from encouraging a few job creating businesses about now. Since Sen. Kedzie seems to be friendly to such businesses, he may be in a unique position to help people who need jobs. And job creation is just about our most pressing need, isn't it? Sen. Kedzie therefore seems like a much better choice for his job than "Red" Rockwell who seems to be just another dependable vote for the teacher's union's positions. Our state government already has plenty of those.

Hey PanamaRed, you wouldn't happen to be L.D., would you?

Nice link Red, the three paragraphs at the end of the page answer all of your false premises.

"Project Vote Smart collects performance evaluations from special interest groups...Keep in mind that ratings done by special interest groups are biased. They do not represent a non-partisan stance."

@ JenJustLovesDogs: I have met Russ, and have talked to him. The last thing he is is "a walking self-absorbed and clueless windbag." Kedzi, whom I have also met, is full of himself and is unwilling to listen to any opposing point of view

g-man why dont YOU shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hankjames, you're mighty close to mixing metaphors.

Thanks, PanamaRed. That ought to shut RAF and Eman up.

This is a link to a website which will provide some information on where Mr. Kedzie stands on many issues.
http://www.votesmart.org/issue_rating_ca...

Mr. Kedzie wants to eliminate or reduce the level of revenue generated by the State in the form of taxes or fees yet also wants the State to maintain or increase spending for a number of programs, like school vouchers.
He supports increased production of coal, natural gas and oil yet fails to promote increased use of alternative fuel technology.
And finally, Mr. Kedzie favors using State money to provide low interest loans and offer tax credits for businesses to start-up, expand or relocate but wants to rely ONLY on faith-based and/or community- based private organizations to provide the financial safety net known as welfare. Evidently, he believes it’s more important to provide welfare for the businesses of Wisconsin rather than its citizens. Check out the link and see the results for yourself.

I was on the fence about Kedzie but the mustache was the tie breaker.

Kedzie has done nothing for veterans. NOTHING.

GF...as a state senator Kedzie had nothing to do with the bailouts. If you think his receiving money from this PAC is troubling, don't vote for him. I also pointed out money from this PAC went to other places as well...

fasteddie if you think that about Kedzie, you obviously never met Russ Feingold. Now THERE's a walking self-absorbed and clueless windbag.

RAF, you're the one who's polarized. They all contributed to the bailouts.

GF, if you think a 1,000 donation received from Jan 2007 - Dec 2008 is a good reason...press on.

BTW --- during the same time period this PAC also donated 1,000 to Assembly Democratic Campaign Committee, gave 2,500 to State Senate Democratic Committee, and gave 6,000 to Doyle.

Guess all assembly and senate dems and doyle (yes, he is leaving) should have got booted...using the same logic.

"...Kedzie is heavily into self-worship."

That's the truth. The only time we ever hear from him, or see him, is the July 4th parade so he can smile, strut and wave....but he never wants to talk to anyone or answer anyone's questions.

Good question.

I wonder if Neal will pass the Republican 10-point platform each of their candidates are measured against before getting campaign funds from the RNC? Most platforms are made up of policies that a Party supports but the Republicans are bucking that trend. Their list is make up of policies they oppose. I mean you actually have to stand for something when you support a policy.

I guess that information is hard to find. Hate to burden you with more, but while you're at it, determine when the bailouts began.

When did the economic downturn start? You're welcome.

Any recent info, all I could find was $1,000 from 2008? Thanks.

General Electric PAC (GEPAC) Banking & Finance

Which donations?

Given the timing of the economic downturn Kedzie's donations from the financial sector is cause for concern.

When I lived in his district Mr Kedzie was always responsive and answered all my questions quickly and thoughtfully. I always got the feeling he was LISTENING to me! Go Neal and stay in touch!

The matter of the dry-cleaner clean up fund wasn't settled to my liking.

Thats common knowledge.

Everyone knows that Kedzie is heavily into self-worship.
