I am still trying to keep an open and positive mind to him. But he is making it difficult.
Ethanol use in engines as an additive is a personal effrontery to me, its having caused me so much trouble with my small engines and O2 sensors on 4 vehicles thus far. To me, pandering to a bunch of Iowa farmers and processors really gets my goat.
It isn’t needed; if it were worth using in gas, it should stand on its merits without subsidy; and we damn well cannot afford to let good edible foodstock be pissed away on political fancy and pandering.

Gaffer, you’ve broken the code. Farmers have been “feeding at the government trough” for decades. They need to be weaned off of all the subsidies they get. The old song “I don’t plant cotton, I don’t plant taters, cuz I get paid by the legislators, for growin nuttin,” is all too true! Seemingly, everyone is bent on getting something for nothing from the government. But I guess I understand even a guy like Walker finds it necessary to pander to various groups if he is to have any hope of getting elected, and despite this stuff, we could do a whole lot worse (can you say JEB, Huck, Rubio).
This is not good for Walker. And I've been a huge backer of Walker since he first got elected.
