If you've seen the latest Neumann TV ad you probably think his campaign couldn't possibly produce anything more lame or contrived.You would be wrong.Neumann's new documentary,"A Common Man" makes the Stepford Wife commercial staged in a spotless barn with red,white, and blue bunting look authentic by comparison.The nearly seven minute documentary begins with the self described global explorer and

Mark Neumann's latest scheme would allow homeowners to spend the money in their 2011 escrow accounts and then make 12 monthly property tax payments the following year. After 2012, homeowners could go back to escrowing their property taxes or continue making monthly payments to municipalities.Neumann calls it the biggest one-year tax cut in state history, saving homeowners about $4,500 each.

It's funny how partisan liberals like Barack Obama and Tom Barrett only preach the need for bipartisanship during an election or when they think they're about to lose power. Both motivations seem to be driving Tom Barrett's plan to take control of redistricting away from the legislature and give it to the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board whose members he would appoint if elected

Once regarded as one of the state’s leading conservatives, former Congressman Mark Neumann has diminished himself so completely that even conservative commentators who once encouraged his candidacy for statewide office no longer take anything he says at face value.To his credit, I suppose, Neumann is unaffected by his critics, persevering through a humiliating defeat for the state Republican

Last Thursday Mark Neumann traveled the state with a big old rifle and a brand new NRA cap to prove that he's the 2nd Amendiest candidate in the race for governor.Two days later, Neumann shot the First Amendment right in the head. The assault wasn't subtle or unintentional, and it was quite clear from the gleam in his eyes and smile on his face that Neumann was enjoying every minute of the

In a recent post, I referenced Milwaukee Journal Sentinel articles regarding Mark Neumann's efforts to stop the DNR from providing public, handicapped access to Moose Lake in Waukesha County. Neumann would like us to believe that he tried to stop the DNR from purchasing property on Moose Lake simply because he wanted to save the taxpayers’ money. In a recent interview with WTDY Radio in Madison

Citing their mutual support for stimulus funds, tax credits and other government subsidies, Republican candidate for Governor Mark Neumann endorsed his Democratic rival at the state Democratic Convention in Middleton. “My companies have made a killing off of President Obama’s stimulus package.

Gubernatorial candidate Mark Neumann flew around the state today to promote his support for conceal and carry. I'm not sure how he plans to conceal that thing, but he's a dead ringer for Elmer Fudd.Wonder if that's the same gun he used in 1995 when he blew off the most important vote of his congressional career to go hunting.

During a presentation to the Racine Kiwanis Club in 1996, Republican candidate for Governor Mark Neumann blamed President Ronald Reagan for causing the national budget deficit to balloon. At the same Neumann time credited President Clinton’s 1993 tax hikes for helping to bring the deficit down. “Reagan and Dole did it, and the Democrats did it! People on both sides of the aisle are

Former Congressman and alleged pork buster Mark Neumann hasn’t always followed a strict kosher diet. In 1998, Neumann used his powerful position on the House Appropriations Committee to raise the ceiling on taxpayer backed FHA loans. In order to get his way, Neumann accepted an additional $80 million in federal spending. During the mark up, Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) and Rep. Mark Neumann

Two- term congressman and six- time Republican candidate Mark Neumann, wants you to believe that he’s a political outsider, just your average small business owner who works hard and plays by the rules. The truth is that Neumann is an elite political insider, adept at taking advantage of what government has to offer. And Neumann hasn’t limited his advantage taking to helping his businesses

Mark Neumann contends that party insiders have thrown their support behind Scott Walker out of misguided loyalty, because Walker dropped out of the race for governor in 2006 clearing the way for Mark Green to win the Republican nomination.It turns out Mark Neumann expected the same party loyalty be bestowed upon him by Scott Walker. According to Wisconsin Public Radio, in March of 2009, Mark

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin drove a stake through the heart of the Republican Party today by announcing the defection of Lora Rae Anderson. The former college Republican chair,( who nobody ever heard of before today) said she thinks the party is too extreme for moderates. She's joining the Wisconsin Democrats who are notorious for their moderate policy positions and tolerance of those who

I've never viewed “gay issues” from Mark Neumann’s angle – above everyone else. When the New York Times asked Neumann his view on gays, he didn’t answer as a Congressman from Wisconsin. He answered from the position of God. Apparently Congress was doing fine, but God had made a few mistakes the Congressman was eager to correct. "If I was elected God for a day, homosexuality wouldn't be

Since last Fall, Mark Neumann has been promising the media he would soon unveil his list of supporters from across the state. To date the only endorsements the campaign has announced are from former DOA Secretary Jim Klauser and Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn. Klauser withdrew his support earlier this year.Last month Neumann got tired of being asked for a list of supporters so he offered this

The Wisconsin Builders Association (WBA) has decided not to endorse a candidate in the race for Wisconsin Governor, but that hasn't stopped over a hundred builders from across the state from putting their support behind Scott Walker. The group includes 20 past presidents and 6 current officers of the WBA. While it comes as no surprise that small business owners are lining up behind Walker, it is

Considering the enormous sum of money Mark Neumann has spent since he launched his campaign in July, it's surprising he doesn't have more to show for it. No one is more surprised than Neumann himself.In April of last year, Neumann made it clear that he intended to seek the Republican nomination for Governor. Touting the support of Tommy Thompson's chief political advisor, Neumann tried to slow
