Shorter T. Wall: "I Ran My Failed Campaign Like A Business and the GOP Screwed Me Anyway (and I'm Still Richer Than Feingold)"

Terrence Wall is still venting his frustrations with the failure of his campaign to unseat Senator Russ Feingold. Here are the latest highlights:

• "The one big disappointment is the lack of real help from any of the existing elected Republican office holders."
• "I survived those (Democratic Party allies) attacks, only to end up with arrows in my back from my own side!"
• "...he (Johnson) is mostly running TV and radio commercials, not getting out there and shaking tens of thousands of hands like I did."
• "(Note to Mr. Feingold: My businesses and I personally pay more in taxes each year then you'll pay in a lifetime!)"

There's also this curious claim:

My biggest battle was simply to get people to take me seriously as someone who could beat Feingold. It wasn't until May, when polling showed me actually beating Feingold, that the professional political class finally started to take the race seriously.

And once they did, what happened?  The GOP professionals dumped T. Wall (and Dick Leinenkugel as well) in favor of Ron Johnson, the "Tea Party" favorite who didn't have the negative baggage of a political or tax-avoidance past.

Wall's take on the last three tries to beat Russ Feingold:

The Republicans ran multi-millionaires in all three races with emphasis on TV and radio, but without an equally strong grassroots effort, and in each case that approach lost. So now here we go again, the Republicans are running the same play from the same playbook that cost them three prior elections, except they're expecting different results!

Indeed.

Apparently Mr. T. Wall has been found lacking in the core values of multi-national corporate empire. Perhaps he doesn’t come across to the global hierarchy as a champion of their empire. His willingness to acquiesce to the concerns of the people of Wisconsin is in stark contrast to the contempt presently shown to the citizens of this country by those now guiding the collapse of our nation. Mr. T. Wall should learn that the time of working within the system has passed. The system is the globalists’ oligarchy system with no loyalty, no patriotism toward this country or it’s supporting middle-class. Ron Johnson has named this profit chase as ‘creative destruction’ and addresses the middle-class with contempt not handshakes.

The Republicans must know that they cannot unseat Feingold nor Kohl in this state. I'm thinking that's why they're running the same campaign over and over again. The only alternative is that they are crazy, because the definition of crazy is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result!
