Represenative Wasserman, Do the Patient, Alberta Darling, NO HARM!!!!

Again, the Wasserman Campaign is spreading another lie about Senator Alberta Darling’s health.  According to a campaign press release from the Wasserman Camp

My opponent likes to tell people she is ‘out knocking on doors.’ But voters know the difference between riding in a car watching staff drop off taxpayer-funded road maps that people did not even ask for and actually knocking on doors and talking to people.

Representative Sheldon Wasserman

You can ask any Alberta Darling for Senate volunteer and they can affirm that Alberta is up and knocking on doors and connecting with the  people of the 8th Senate District.  But when Representative Wasserman talks about his campaign is run like his Assembly office featuring door to door first class constituient service, match that up with Senator Darling who has been consistently for close to sixteen years in office demands from staffers first class constituient service.  Still when the State Senate Democratic Committie puts out a phony press release at a fundraiser with Democrat lobbyists in Madison that “Citing health reasons, Darling recently admitted that she would not be able to knock on any doors this cycle” show the real reason why he does not want to spend down his war chest, he wants to keep it big before he has to spend down the war chest to attack Senator Darling.   But, if Represenative Wasserman wants to spread lies on Darling’s health and her campaign tactics, Wasserman watch wants Representative Sheldon Wasserman to retract his last press release and start awnsering these questions as many voters in the 8th Senate District Want to Know:

1. As a doctor, why have you been disrespectfully stating false claims on Senator Darling’s health, despite as a doctor yourself you should be treating patients who have a serious health condition with dignity, respect, and compassion?

2. What is still the purpose you have to still hold onto our taxpayer dollars since 1994 to start waging smear tactics on Senator Darling?

3. You say on your website Madison Politics as Usual must end, why are now just saying anything to get yourself elected by now stating lies on Senator Darling?

It is time we tell Representative Wasserman the next time he loves to brag on how much he loves to save the taxpayers money by riding the Badger Bus that he starts to come clean on why he is using smear tactics to intentfully lie on Senator Darling’s health.  If he cannot come clean, it is time Represenative Wasserman retracts his last press release and awnser Senator Darling’s call to pledge to a clean campaign.

Another Sheldon Wasserman So-Called Fiscal Conservative Lie

Just today Sheldon Wasserman issued a press release again putting again another false claim on being a fiscal conservative as he says

“Solid financial planning, prudent campaign spending and the support of over 1000 donors give me a strong overall advantage,” said Rep. Wasserman. “As the long time incumbent and member of the committee that writes the state budget, it is no surprise that Senator Darling out raised me in big money and special interest donations. She talks about being a fiscal conservative but has squandered her campaign resources. The only thing I can be accused of overspending on is shoe leather. I’ve worn through eight pairs since I first began going door to door and meeting with people in the 8th Senate District over a year ago.” -Wasserman Campaign Press Release-July 22, 2008

Represenative Wasserman before you talk again on being a fiscal conservative, please explain why are you holding onto $22,000 of our taxpayer dollars to pad your warchest to launch a dirty campaign on Senator Darling.  Undecided voters in Whitefish Bay, Meqoun, and Menomonee Falls would like to know why you are holding onto this money despite this money is supposed to go to candidates with limited financial resources.  Holding onto our taxpayer dollars for the purpose of waging a campaign of misinformation is NOT fiscally conservative. 

Also Represenative Wasserman why not explain your special interest contributions you recieve from big labor and the medical special interests too.  Voters would like to know too on your relationships with medical PAC’s and Labor Union PAC’s as you accuse Senator Darling of having special interest money.

Wasserman’s New Campaign Finance Report Reveals that Wasserman is Padding His War Chest Deeper Despite Senator Darling Outperformed him in Fundraising

Today, was the reporting deadline for candidates running for public office and the latest report for Rep. Wasserman proves he is not spending down his war chest yet.  When Wasserman Watch broke the story that Rep. Wasserman was wasting your taxpayer dollars to fund his election campaign, still he is holding on to the dollars you check off on your tax returns to wage a full scale attack on Senator Darling.  Here is the new fundraising reports from WisPolitics and the Wisconsin Government Accountablity Board.

Senator Alberta Darling

Raised $106, 457 and has over $270, 427 Cash on Hand

Represenative Sheldon Wasserman

Raised Over $88, 420 in the first half of 2008, but has $335, 287 in the bank including the close to $22,000 of your tax dollars he has held onto since 1994 when he first ran for Assembly.

Senator Darling is so far winning the fundraising battle, but still Wasserman is waging the fight thanks to a large war chest funded in part by your tax dollars.  The one factor to watch for is how much PAC money Rep. Wasserman will get once he has to spend down his war chest.  It is important to watch how much money he will recieve from his buddies in the medical field and the labor unions and also the State Senate Democratic Committie once Rep. Wasserman gets in attack mode.  Darling may win the fundraising battle, but watch out for the PAC’s as it heats up.
