It’s election time again folks, a time when people say things they really don’t mean and take positions they really can’t stand.
Take Wisconsin’s Scott Walker for example. Two years ago when Scott Walker was the beloved of the Republican Party, he secretly signed a bill repealing the state’s Equal Pay law. Before the repeal, the law provided women more opportunities to get compensation for their work, including lawsuits. But Walker’s repeal went practically unnoticed, although his fellow Republicans applauded his efforts.
The Huffington Post quotes another Republican, Senator Glenn Grothman, who showered praise on Walker’s repeal, saying Wisconsin’s Equal Pay law was “an underreported problem,” because “a huge number of discrimination claims are baseless.”
But that was then, this is now. Recent polling in Wisconsin suggests that Walker is losing the women’s vote to his Democratic challenger, Mary Burke. So what does Walker do? He puts out a new ad praising women’s equal pay laws, the very law he repealed.

This election is between Republicans and the TRUTH.
The minute a lying ad like this one airs, the Democratic candidate should immediately run one, simply looking right into the camera, telling the TRUTH and exposing the lies in plain English. Ex.: “My opponent SAYS he favors equal pay, but on (date) he signed a bill REPEALING our state’s Equal Pay Act. Your ACTIONS speak so much louder than your WORDS, Mr. Walker.” Period. Just keep running the RESPONSE ad every time Walker’s LYING ad airs.
If they did this in EVERY state, Dems would win.
