4. Madigan is doing his job.

We would be Wisconsin without him. We would be a right to work state.

Madigan is the leader of our party, and I don't appreciate the digs at him. It would not matter who led the party, Rauner and his minions would find a way to slander him or her.

Of course Doug House is working with Madigan on this. Count on it. Madigan knows what goes on in our state. His discipline keeps Democrats strong here.

Many on this website like to whine about how the Democrats are not standing up to repiggies, are not speaking out. They are not strong and ruthless. Madigan is both. We need more Madigans, all over the country.

This is much like the criticism Nancy Pelosi gets here. It is baseless. It is one of the reasons Hillary is not President. They fell for years of slander from the right wing, weakened our leaders and caused confusion at the polls.

Until Rauner began smearing him, many people in this state did not know who Madigan was. I am not going to believe the smears Rauner spews in his commercials. I am not going to forgo strong leadership because the right wing weakens us!
