The Left Will Do Anything

Got the tip from the Jerry Bader show today. Thanks Jerry.
The left will do anything to make conservatives look bad.

"Hansen, Fradette joust over health care during forum
30th Senate candidates also talk spending" Hansen, Fradette joust over health care during forum | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette

Health care and the aging population dominated Monday morning's forum for candidates of the 30th Senate District.

A handful of local voters attended the forum, held at the Brown County Central Library. Republican Chad Fradette, former Green Bay City Council president, and the Democratic incumbent Dave Hansen, an eight-year senator, both of Green Bay, hit on comprehensive health care and state spending.

A mix-up in the questions asked to each candidate left Fradette ad-libbing a bit more than his opponent after he realized he had been sent different questions.

"It'd be nice if I was given these questions ahead of time," Fradette said after the third question. "They don't match any of the questions I have except for the first one."

Billy Feitlinger, of the Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans, who sponsored the event, apologized to Fradette and made sure he had a copy of the correct questions at Monday's forum.

The Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups also hosted the event.

Hansen said he would like to see support continue for Badger Care and Medicaid programs, and to do so, the state must draw from all available funding, something that's not being done.

Fradette said while he would like to maintain these programs, the state is broke. Spending priorities must be set, and increases in funding aren't an option.

Hansen also told the audience he's for true reform in health care that would reduce costs and provide access to all state residents.

"The cost of doing nothing is already enormous and continues to grow every day," Hansen said.

Fradette said comprehensive care is not the answer for Wisconsin.

"I will stand against any attempt to make universal government-run health care because it's not efficient and it's definitely not cost effective," he said.

Fradette said people of all incomes in the state need a tax cut, so wasteful spending needs to be eliminated.

"No way would I consider increasing the sales tax," he said. "Under no circumstances would I consider raising any tax in this point in Wisconsin … all you have to do is prioritize your spending."

Hansen said the state needs to look at its tax code, and he would propose legislation to accept the first $60,000 of a home's value for property taxes and cut homeowners' school property taxes by 10 percent or more.

"I think that's a very good initiative to at least look at," he said. "I think it'd do a great deal to help seniors stay in their home."

So the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups hosted the event and gave Chad Fradette the wrong questions and Dave Hanson got the original questions and the headline is "Hansen, Fradette joust".

What a bunch of CRAP. I printed the whole article to show how nothing really was said about the intentional cheep shot Chad Fradette received. Any republicans that do debates, don't get blind sided.

Bottom line, Dave Hanson is for 18 billion dollars in universal health care. The 18 billion after the 700 billion later this week.

It time for Dave Hansen to go.
