Imagine Alberta Darling Telling Her Republican Constituents, "You're my tools!"

"Tool", as in one that is used or manipulated by another.

State Senator Darling's Campaign Finance History Scrutinized By Voucher Opponents. (Wisconsin Public Radio News, 6/14/2013)


Faith's response: ‘Alberta, your sign was in my yard. I voted for you.’

Apparently, Alberta Darling is the biggest tool of the pro-voucher crowd.

The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign (see table 1 below) reported this spring that wealthy voucher backers or interest groups have donated about $10 million over ten years to pro-voucher lawmakers and Governor Scott Walker. Sen. Darling received the most donations among legislators, hauling in more than $55,000. Darling co-chairs the Joint Finance Committee, which last week recommended the start of expanding vouchers to the whole state.
