Chair Invites Bush to Campaign in Wisconsin Next November
President’s Unpopularity Dragging Down Republicans From Virginia to California
MADISON – Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Joe Wineke today sent a letter to President George W. Bush inviting him to campaign in Wisconsin next November. Wineke extended the invitation in light of Republican losses around the country due to the plummeting support of the Bush Administration.
“I would like to extend an invitation for you to visit Wisconsin on behalf of Republicans the day before our general election on Tuesday, November 7, 2006,” Wineke offered in light of Bush’s visit to Virginia the day before the election in an unsuccessful effort to elect a Republican governor in a southern state that Bush won a year ago by 8 percentage points.
With two staunch Bush allies scrambling for support against Governor Jim Doyle and Democrats united behind the Doyle-Lawton ticket, Wineke said re-election for Governor Doyle looks more likely than ever.
“George W. Bush couldn’t have two closer soul mates in Mark Green and Scott Walker,” Wineke said. “Scott Walker never met a cut to children’s programs he didn’t like, and Mark Green couldn’t balance a budget if you gave him the largest surplus in American history. Oh, wait, we did, and now we’ve got the largest deficit in American history.”
Wineke noted that Mark Green – in addition to voting with President Bush’s agenda more than 93 percent of the time – voted for four consecutive budgets that created record deficits and increased spending by 33 percent, from $1.84 trillion in 2001 to $2.48 trillion in 2005.
