UPDATE: Fox Nation has obtained and posted the transcript from Mr. Plante's conversation with the caller that started this entire story, and his report that unions were busing in voters from Michigan to help sway the election against Scott Walker.... This also comes as Voter Fraud Explodes in Wisconsin; Eye Witnesses Speak Out
Check it out. From my perspective it's definitely interesting, but I still believe the story is false.
Original Article:
Rumors are circulating on the internet that unions are busing in voters from Detroit in order to sway the election against Governor Scott Walker, whom they are trying to recall and replace with Democrat Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee.
Apparently, someone called into the Chris Plante Show (which, admittedly, I didn't know existed until one hour ago) with the aforementioned allegations. However, according to various accounts of people who have listened to that segment, the caller didn't answer Mr. Plante's questions, nor did he leave his contact information as he was requested to do.
And considering not one blog post or news article has been written about this bus-in, when only fifty million, or so, people are glued to Wisconsin election coverage right now and this would blow the lid off the story, I have to conclude - along with evidence from the caller's lack of credible information - that this rumor is just that, not one ounce of fact.
I'm sure we will see roughly one hundred different versions of this story, from both sides, pop up through out today. So please, just ignore them and go out and vote! That's all that really matters.
Chris Plante Show -- Broadcasts out of Wash, DC. Why this program is not nationally known is beyond me. Plante is a breath of fresh air and easily the wittiest commentator on radio today.

Someone going by STD on freerepublic.com states that he saw this bus. Sounds like it may be him that called in.
ReplyDeleteI am a conservative but I get fed up of constant conservative paranoia when it comes to the left. Let's run some numbers on recent elections.
ReplyDeleteIn 2011 David Prosser defeated Joann Klopenburger for state supreme court by 7500 votes. How many buses would the unions have to charter to bring in our of state supporters in order to have won this election??? Answer about 150 buses. In 2010 scott walker won by more than 100,000 votes. How many buses would unions need to top the scales in that election??? Answer about 2000 buses.
Here Is what you have to believe to believe this nonsense.
1 bus companies have hundreds of buses worth millions of dollars just sitting idle during the busy summer season waiting for unions to charter them for the next election
2 all the émployees of bus companies including the owners and mgmt in addition to union drivers are all involved in this conspiracy. After all why has no one ever come forward to say this happened at their bus company
3. Union émployees all over the Midwest have the time off to travel hundreds of miles to cast a ballot. No one must be staffing the DMV or PO in IL, IA or MN if this is true.
So where is the evidence this has ever happened on a large scale??? No bus company employees ever come forward, no union voter ever mentioned doing this, no one ever sees a convoy of buses heading to such and such state. This is JFK conspiracy stuff
LOL. This seems like a pretty well-prepared (in advance) reply to people raising the issue.
Delete"I am a conservative but..."
Yeah, right.
Looks like a Concern Troll has graced us with his presence.

ReplyDeleteI heard yesterday that a lot of libtards here in some of the college towns in North Carolina (Greensboro, Chapel Hill) were going to caravan up to Wisconsin and vote illegally. We have to stop them by all means necessary.
