Since they couldn’t find anything on Scott Walker, they just made it up. And not very well.

Scott Walker kept his promises and reduced taxes, and guess what no teachers were fired because of Act 10.

Scott has taken on an established special interest that was funding the democrat party out of teachers paychecks. Guess what teacher union membership is down 50% or more.

This is a left wing radical writing with false information.
It may be soros or communist funded.

Here is the founder:
Rebecca Kemble is a freelance writer who writes for The Progressive magazine. She is also the President of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives and the President of CICOPA North. America, Vice-President of CICOPA Americas and serves on the Executive Committee of CICOPA worldwide. She received her Bachelors Degree from the University of Massachusetts – Amherst, and her Masters Degree and PhD (a.b.d.) in Anthropology and African Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Rebecca is a worker-ownerer of Union Cab Cooperative where she has worked since 2000 as a night shift taxi driver as well as a mediator. She is also a founding member, writer and editor in the newly-formed Wisconsin Citizens Media Cooperative.

Just couldn’t bring myself to even read half of it. It’s projection from the liberals, pure and simple.

It is the way he implements these policies, the way he deals with opposition, and the way he rewards his allies that make Walker not just divisive, but frightening.

Scott Walker has successfully defeated the leftists more than once. He is a fighter and a winner. We need more like him in office. The GOPe eunuchs are clueless and will only lead us to yet another defeat.

This obvious hit piece is yet another fishing expedition to find something against Walker that has traction. This piece is laughable with its wild claims and unsupported assertions.

The whole concept of "public unions" reflects the workings of people with seriously disordered minds, and lack of understanding of the fundamental principles of public service. Unions are not a part of this as we are learning from budget challenges in other states.

From those wonderful folks who occupied & trashed the Wisconsin state house, people you’d just love to have living next to you.

I don’t see an actual name affixed to this screed, just an anonymous collective, kind of like that of a terrorist organization. Maybe it was written by “Crying Man” of the abortive 2012 recall.

Scott Walker hits the jackpot with this hit piece. IMO, there are now not one but two Reagan conservatives for the 2016 ticket.

I’m going to reread this piece just for snits & giggles.

;^)

Your comment: “What we should take from this is not to support a pro-amnesty GOPe candidate like Walker”

Stop spreading the Liberal lies about Walker as pro-amnesty.

You forgot to add this to the list of her qualifications - current dyke or former man.

Is this about Walker or Obola. Substitute Soros for the Koch brothers and you have a descriptive of the last seven years, oh but it’s ok when a Dem does it because it’s for the greater good. If these accusations are true it’s very disturbing and I would reconsider my view of Scott Walker, if they are not it’s just more Alinsky style sliming by left ala “ so when did you stop beating your wife”.

The article only highlights the extreme irrational hatred of Walker by the Wisconsin lefties. They are deranged. If he becomes POTUS, the Secret Service protection will have to be doubled.

“So what?” you say, “aren’t all politicians liars?” True, but Walker is in a league apart.
He lies about so much, even inconsequential things, that it seems almost compulsive.”

Democrat Party spin machine calling the pot black. Speaking of lies who on earth lies more than the present President in a world
apart compulsively lies about “consequential things”.

Ain’t no lies. He’d legalize current illegals here and eventually give them citizenship. He has said that repeatedly and I’ve posted the links here repeatedly.

He and his hired PR guys, like all pro-amnesty GOPe pols, claim that what he supports somehow isn’t amnesty because there’d be some fees and procedures attached to the legalization.

But it’s amnesty!

You can always tell what DemocRats are doing by what they accuse the Republicans of.

I have followed the Scott Walker story the last 5 years. Article like this are common in Wisconsin, where the entrenched liberals (35% of the population) hate him with great passion. The Democrat/Union/Media cabal has spent millions of dollars and endless time and effort trying to defeat him. There are (literally) daily hit pieces in most of the state’s newspapers.

Walker scares the left like no other candidate.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone can shed light on this steaming pile. Thanks!!

Well, it is pretty easy to say he "said there was a surplus (there wasn't)", and then offer NO explanation as to why there "wasn't". Interestingly, the $3 BILLION deficit that Doyle left for Walker means nothing. If there was no surplus, it was because Walker REFUNDED the difference to the property owners and taxpayers.

The most amusing line was about Wisconsin being "lawless". That's like the kid shooting his parents and asking for pity as he is an orphan. Walker's people didn't defecate in the Capitol and dump beers on legislators' heads. They aren't the ones who fled the state rather than vote on a bill they didn't like.

The author is either a Flavor-Aid drinker or an apparatchnik.

If the Facebook post has many likes, they are probably from Wisconsinites who didn't get their way. They are the 30% that would rather gargle glass shards than face the truth about Walker and reality. They were around when he was winning elections #1, 2 and 3.

I've posted before that Walker makes these guys over-react and reveal their craziness. This article is proof of it.

I don’t know who they hate more, Walker or Palin

Walker, by a mile. But that's just Wisconsin.

“Substitute “Obama” for “Walker” and “America” for “Wisconsin” and re-read it”

LOL I didn’t need to reread it. It sounded JUST like Obama if one was to believe it.

95% of this article is unsubstantiated garbage.

He makes many assertions and characterizations but there is no PROOF!

You expect a liberal to use facts?

This article is interesting in that it gives you a quick overview of Democrat party strategy. The accusations are largely the SOP of their party.

If only some of this were true—Walker would look like he learned how to fight against the anti-American socialists. Perhaps this article should be reviewed to identify tactics to use and anticipate in fighting the Dem Socialists.
