Walker also causes traffic accidents, bad neighbors, crabgrass, squeaky doors, warts, dry heaves and painful rectal itch.

Mother Jones said so.

If Mother Jones hates him, I love him.

On principle.

“A blind eye to fracking sand”

OMG! Not SAND!

Walker is Pro-Sand?

The nerve!

Watch what a candidate does, not only what he says.

Haven’t we heard farmers talking about all the EPA rules, regulations and paper work that was taking all their time [= $]?

Below is ONE example of how Walker’s beating the environmentalists, bit by bit.

http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/farm-bureau-others-question-scott-walker-s-proposed-farm-research/article_fd57b04d-1749-51ab-bcaf-9de60d826f4c.html

March 7, 2015 - Farm Bureau, others question Scott Walker’s proposed farm research cuts

“Researchers and supporters of a program that helps farmers run cleaner and more efficient operations say they were “stunned” and “blindsided” by Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal to cut a third of the project’s funding.

Discovery Farms, a UW-Extension program that dates to 2001, applies science from a “plows-on” level, evaluates and monitors efforts by state farmers to control runoff, calibrate fertilizer use and employ techniques to conserve land and water.

It has a $750,000 budget, of which $248,000 would be cut in the governor’s proposed state budget.

UW-Extension officials noted the loss affects longstanding projects and the ability of the small program to leverage crucial additional grants and funds.

“We would have a 1.2-employee reduction of staff and we would pull back some of our sampling efforts, water quality analysis and a project (set) for Rock County,” said Amber Radatz, project co-director.

The project’s programs include monitoring 20 state farms and educating thousands of farmers on conservation strategies.

“This was a big surprise to our agency partners as well as our partners in farm groups and in UW-Extension,” she said. “We never had an inkling.”

The $248,000 comes from a surcharge on farm chemical sales that would be discontinued.”................

And here I thought they didn’t care! /s

I believe the common term used to describe Liberals who "care" about our candidate are called "Concern Trolls".

“... Last month, he released a budget proposal that would drain $8.1 million from a leading renewable energy research center in the state. “.......

All the budget says is that the UW has to prioritize [the budget frees up restrictions on how the university’s money is spent] the school can fund this environmental research on swamp grass (if they so desire) with some tweaks. For instance, they could ask professors to curtail some of their political advocacy and teach one more class each semester.

“..The commission wants to impose a high fixed charge on monthly bills that homeowners would have to pay even if they purchase their own solar panels. ...”

No doubt this has to do with them paying a small fee for using the electrical grid of the power company, if they use it to transport (sell) their excess energy.

Mother Jones doesn't sound very motherly.

Mother Jones promotes the Climate Change Scam.
Therefore Mother Jones is unconcerned about the millions who will die and the billions that will live lives of misery as a result of the draconian Climate “cap n trade” laws.

It looks like the misery is starting where the EPA is causing poor people in Wisconsin and Minnesota to do without heat because wood heat is verboten.

Scott Walker has been the only one that has defeated democrats. Walker's passed conservative laws , lowered taxes, balanced budget etc.

Results, conservative actions, actions matter. words mean nothing

“Wisconsin’s sandstones, especially the Cambrian- and Ordovician-age formations, are prized for their uniform grain size and high silica content. These formations are excellent sources of the raw material needed for many industrial products and processes, including hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for petroleum recovery.”

Coming as it does from Mother Jones, it’s almost an endorsement.

If Scott Walker wants both accountability for the environmental corruption and mismanagement of the left as well as alternative policy ideas that would rid us of these crooked agencies and improve the conditions of wildland habitat, I'm available for consultation.

Our 25 year native plant restoration project has produced results like no other: Wildergrten.

The reviews of my first book are here.

My patent on a free-market environmental management business method is here.

Meanwhile Hillary (who printed ten cases of email instead of one DVD) is probably the best candidate for the environment.

Walker must be over the target because he's getting a lot of flak from the authoritarian left.
