After winning two bruising electoral battles in the last 3 years, and making structural changes to Wisconsin’s budget with Act 10, you might be forgiven for thinking that Scott Walker would likely rest on his laurels as he prepares for an anticipated 2016 campaign. You would be wrong. Walker has released his proposed Wisconsin budget for this year and it is loaded with cuts to liberal sacred cows across the board. Walker’s proposed cuts have once again mobilized the unions against him for planned protests over the weekend. Walker is yet again showing that where others might prefer the easy road, he almost relishes the opportunity to test his battle mettle.
First of all, Walker has proposed $300 million in cuts to the University of Wisconsin system. Predictably, this has sparked a planned round of protests from university professors – as a class, the most liberal and among the most unproductive members of society – who are provoking their students to join. As if you needed any confirmation of the character or the participants in this process, the organizers are a veritable who’s who of Democrat politics:

Not content with provoking liberal university professors, Walker’s budget also goes after the Secretary of State’s office, headed by Doug La Folette. La Folette, you may recall, is one of the Democrat gadflies who ran against Walker in the 2012 recall election.

Cruz is still my first pick... but Walker is doing well.
There is another interview with Bret Baier where Walker explains the amnesty rumor/smear campaign was started by a reporter for a WI paper, and is based on what the reporter said, not what Walker said.
“May you spend the rest of your days having wet dreams about making love to Hillary.”
Too late!/sarc
Bingo!
What does the throne of skulls refer to? I don’t watch much t.v.
THIS IS MY GUY FOR 2016!!!!!!!! Even though he is running for POTUS he is STILL standing his ground. GO WALKER, truth and courage all I want in my next POTUS!!!!!!!
Right. You don't ask for the moon. You as for the Sun, Moon, and stars, and finally settle for just the Moon.
Admit it. I came up with a really hideous curse, enough to induce lifelong celibacy in a normal man.
“What does the throne of skulls refer to? I don’t watch much t.v.”
I assume it refers to Game of Thrones, which I don’t watch.
I think it’s a reference to Warhammer 40k, which my kids and nephew play. Uber nerds.
The leftie nutjobs already white-hot hate Gov. Walker, so he might as well just keep on truckin’.
Here’s hoping. :0)
Scott Walker still making changes in Wisconsin. Heads are exploding at the University and at the Union Halls.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I like this guy more every day.
There was an earlier article (maybe by the same guy) that talked about Walker sitting on a throne made out of the skulls of his enemies he had destroyed. It has become a small meme.
Some of the ones squealing the loudest, have been shown to teach exactly ZERO times a week.
But, but, but, they are doing RESEARCH on why lesbians are fat alcoholics!
And Gaia forbid the state stop funding such impooooooooortant research!
