Would It Matter If Troha Got His Casino?

The Janesville Gazette posted a shortened version of the AP article about the probation sentence ordered against trucking tycoon Dennis Troha, on page 7A in Saturday's edition. Only the Democratic Party, Bush and Doyle were named in the summarized front-page Gazette side bar. It should be remembered that with the exception of Rep. Paul Ryan, a Republican, no other politicians were mentioned by name in the original indictment against Troha last year. Oddly, the AP, along with the Janesville Gazette apparently have no qualms about repeatedly headlining the Democratic Party, Bush and Gov. Jim Doyle with this particular scandal.

So, as long as the media continues to turn the Troha illegal donations scandal into a pay-for-play with democrats like Doyle, would it have mattered if Troha got his Kenosha casino? Doyle could easily defend this outrage by just saying he was performing a routine and appropriate constituent service by helping a businessman in his state. Why not? Its worked for others.
You can read the entire AP article here.

Elect GOP candidates - Terrorists Win!

I don't believe it of course, but historians and pundits alike could find plenty of evidence than just predicating it on someone's middle name.
CNN Ticker Excerpt:
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa Republican congressman said Friday that terrorists would be "dancing in the streets" if Democratic candidate Barack Obama were to win the presidency.
So I thought - which candidate would increase the risk to our troops? One that wants to declare victory and bring them home - or one that sings about bombing more countries just "to add a little humor"

"It works for others" Example; Paul Ryan accompanies J.P.Cullen and sons at a local shooting preserve where they shoot pen raised game birds. You won't read about that in the Gazette.

You know, that's one of problems about media watching, particularly a newspaper as biased as our locals. We just don't have any real idea about what they omitted, censored or shelved, or to what extent. We can safely assume it's quite a bit though.

It's beginning to look like Paul Ryan IS getting special treatment not only from the press, but from federal prosecution as well.
