I AM THE FORCE

I feel so much better now that Jim Doyle has held his little oil profits hearing. Such a clever move by this man of the people. What would we do without Jim Doyle standing up for us against the evil corporations? There really isn't a way to improve on the Steve Baas column about the hearings from a couple of days ago. http://www.jsonline.com/news/editorials/nov05/374182.asp

But here goes anyway. Most politicians will lay integrity the side in order to hold this kind of dog and pony show. But the condescension coming from the Doyle team on this one is extreme. They believe that Wisconsinites are both stupid and upset enough, to be impressed with Jim Doyle whining about oil company profits in front of his charts and graphs. Really, how stupid do they think we are? These hearings meant nothing, and accomplished nothing other than satisfying the Michael Moore wing of his party. But they seem to be under the impression that the common rabble of Wisconsin will be very impressed. I hate to be positive, but I think people are a little smarter than that. But it gets to how Jim Doyle views regular people. Instead of listening and learning, Jim Doyle preaches and condescends. And instead of doing something real like reducing our 55 cent per gallon gas tax, he does something fake like holding this ridiculous hearing. But maybe he's right, and regular people are stupid. I guess we'll find out next November.
