Where there’s smoke there is usually fire. Not always but usually. Better to find out now than after the guy gets nominated and then smeared to defeat by the Dems. Maybe this is why Walker has not yet announced.

We have better candidates that don’t have any taint to them.

The article appears to use as its prime example of corruption a $500,000 loan that supposedly went bad. Pretty rough. Although in perspective, it appears to be bull crap. Wisconsin has a state budget of about $35,000,000,000 per year.

1% of that budget is $350 million dollars.

The BIG DEAL of this paragraphs-long "journalistic" endeavour is a $500,000 loan.

How much is $500K? Well, it is a FRACTION of 1% of the entire state budget.

So. If the BEST this "journalist" Matthew DeFour can come up with is a problem with a fraction of 1% of the budget and trumpet it as a major problem, then I am pleased that Walker is considering a run for the presidency.

I am equally pleased that the Republicans in Wisconsin care enough about this fiscal minutiae to consider reforming it.

When was the last time you heard about Democrats caring enough about welfare abuse that they wanted to fix it?

Answer: Never.

Matthew DeFour, the writer of this piece, claims to be non-partisan.

Here's an expanded set of comments one of those GOP legislators expressing regret at creating WEDC: http://www.rightwisconsin.com/dailytakes/Rep-Dean-Knudson-WEDC-Loans-Arent-The-Proper-Role-of-Govt-Regret-My-Vote-For-Agency-304720731.html

The literal reading of his comments is that government jobs creation, touted by Walker, does not work. That is a strike against Walker. I would not suggest that this makes him a weak candidate because of a potential federal investigation. That is, frankly, leftist talking point nonsense created by Walker's many political enemies.

What it does say is that Walker has shown nonconservative qualities, namely state intrusion into private business. No candidate is perfect however. But it is worth your while keeping track of the situation in case there are substantive allegations of improper dealings.

Wow, the new resurrection of pissant. Now we get to hear you slime one of the best candidates we've had in a long time, over and over again. This will be wonderful for the circular firing squad here, I'm sure you'll get a lot of morons on your side, just like pisant used to do.

Funny how that works.

How did you get by the moderators?
