Walker Self-Inflicted Wounds Keep Coming

Running to El Rushbo will push up the eventual recall vote. Wisconsin is rejecting extremism.

You are setting yourself up for such a let down when Walker wins... again.; January 18, 2012 at 11:10 AM

He is on the road talking to right-wing sugar daddies and grubbing for money almost as often as he is in the state. So to respond to the recall he runs to Limbaugh et al, as that is how to reach a national audience. Sure he wants to remain governor of Wisconsin so he can keep showing off his right-wing chops, but if he gets recalled, what the hey? He's a martyr for his "principles" and still a right-wing hero.; January 18, 2012 at 11:17 AM

But what would you do with yourself Reagan if it wasn't for James at least digging the dirt up and getting the grave ready for the political sociopath.

So Reagan, you would prefer he just sit back in his rocker and play with the TV remote and watch the sociopath destroy Wisconsin.

Looks like Reagan is projecting an unwillingness to take risks.

In seeking a waiver that would restrict or eliminate health care for thousands of Wisconsin families, Scott Walker’s administration certified in a December 29, 2011 letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that, “Wisconsin would have a budget deficit, based on generally accepted accounting principles, during state fiscal years 2012 and 2013…”

The admission by Walker’s administration that Wisconsin carries a budget deficit contradicts Scott Walker’s perpetual campaign lie that his “reforms” are working for Wisconsin, and that he has eliminated “a $3.6 billion budget deficit without raising taxes.”; January 18, 2012 at 7:28 PM

You know, that company that screwed the pooch on mortgage bonds and default insurance and had to get the biggest bailout in the history of capitalism.

Walker is making a mockery of everything conservatives stand for by showing up there to collect laundered tax money from the bailout for his own personal bailout.

And you still back him? Are you really that lacking in self-respect?; January 19, 2012 at 9:34 AM
