I think after a 1-year jail term he can still run for "president of the jerks who stopped 3rd parties from gaining momentum in Wisconsin". Th conservative side will always have a safety net for trash like this, he'll get a job with Americans for Prosperity perhaps. He really does not deserve to be let pff "scott-free" unless some judge wants to risk attributing his own fate along that of Jensen.

For that reason, Shirley lacked the leverage to engage in the same kind of conduct as Jensen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-1147960502520791992006-05-18T08:55:00.000-05:002006-05-18T08:55:00.000-05:00Jensen was way out of line and as a supposed Repub...Jensen was way out of line and as a supposed Republican Conservative we Conservatives should be holding him to higher standard of conduct. Using taxpayer dollars to pay for workers that actually did little to no state work in an outrage. The sentence is just. Jensen was told it was a crime and he continued to run things the same way until it was clear the DA was prepared to prosecute. This is not a case of selective prosecution. It is a case of justice served and once again (as in the days of Richard Nixon) showing that no one is above the law. Also, do not tell me Jensen was not the ultimate influence peddler out there. Chvala was no where near Jensen's equal in greasing the skids for those with money to deliver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-1147959329614368672006-05-18T08:35:00.000-05:002006-05-18T08:35:00.000-05:00Comparing Jensen's situation to Chvala's is what's...Comparing Jensen's situation to Chvala's is what's laughable! Lets see, performing political activities on State time (factually shown to be done by democrats and republicans with only republicans being charged) verses pay for play which is what Chvala did, not Jensen. The attempt by liberals to blur the distinction is another example of their inherent dishonesty. And of course Doyle never performs political activities on State time? Right! Did the prosecutor, Burke have State staffers perform political activities for himself at one time? Give me a break. This entire prosecution of Jensen is a travesty. I would call it a joke, but I'm sure its not funny for Jensen. This might be the worst case of a selective, political prosecution I've seen in my lifetime living in Wisconsin. It can only be seen as an attempt to "balance" the political prosecutions by selectively trumping up ridiculous charges against Jensen to balance charges made against democrats like Cvala that committed real crimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692053.post-1147951786717172992006-05-18T06:29:00.000-05:002006-05-18T06:29:00.000-05:00Your arguments are laughable.

Because he rolled the dice and lost. Chvala saw the handwriting on the wall and the little bantamweight took the sure bet. Jensen should have done the same. Had his ego matched his physical stature, he likely would have.<BR/><BR/>Your "selective prosecution" theory is a base canard. Look at what the prosecutor did: He went after the majority party leadership in each house; the two top Democrats in the Senate and the two top Republicans in the Assembly. In the end, all four were taken out.<BR/><BR/>Three of the four escaped the big house by cutting deals. One rolled the dice and lost and will now apparently be the only one to do hard time. <BR/><BR/>You don't point out that the "hanging judge" who set the penalty was appointed by Tommy G.
