Wisconsin Family Action has spent big money to re-elect a divorced adulterer who is rumored to have impregnated his teenage babysitter.Of couse, there's more. Just click and read. It's almost a cliché, and an usavory one. Family Action ... divorced adulterer ... babysitter. I'd be laughed out of Hollywood if I tried to pitch that.
The “pro-family” group has so far funneled at least $200,000 into television commercials promoting Republican Sen. Luther Olsen by attacking the driving record of his opponent, state Rep. Fred Clark. The small religious group has not disclosed where it obtained so much money.
WFA claims that it exists to promote “traditional” marriage. Yet the group’s top priority in the Aug. 9 recall election is to save the senate seat of a man who created a scandal several years ago when he had a high-profile extramarital affair with a married woman who is now his wife.
But that’s only the beginning of Olsen’s moral challenges.
Luther Olsen is the guy we listed here; he's losing to his Democratic challenger, but not by much. If you're in-state, consider helping out with the recall. And no matter where you are, you can contribute.
Republican recall elections are August 9. Democratic recalls (yes, there are a few) are a week later, on August 16.
A net three change from R to D gives the Wisconsin Senate to the Democrats. Sure would be nice to notch a victory for a change, instead of one of those noble but sad little losses. Those are kinda getting to me. Here's hoping.
