It's a concerted effort that's been underway for some time now, driven by dark money interests and amoral wanna-be's like Walker. And it's enabled by our legislative and judicial branches of government (both state and federal), the mainstream media (which continue to play the role of watchdogs that don't bark and talking heads that don't dig for the truth), and citizens that don't vote in non-Presidential elections. <br /><br />The undue influence of money in politics (unlimited campaign donations from anonymous sources and coordinated with the candidates), and infiltration of lobbyists at all levels of government is obscene and dangerous. Time after time, the will of the people continues to be ignored. There was a time when people felt confident that our representatives could be counted on to do the right thing, that justice would prevail, and that our vote counted. But no more. It was a sad day last Thursday when the Wisconsin Supreme Court majority demonstrated for all to see that they too are on the take.<br /><br />Scott Walker for President?

Yes, Walker's chances are better than average, so the term preposterous is likely to confuse people about what you mean. Thanks for clarification, though it is reasonable to misunderstand how that term is being used.<br /><br />Your take on Walker's campaign now sounds accurate given your clarification, which also enhances your ability to tell these stories with integrity. I was talking to the editor of Wisconsin Gazette last week and he just poo-pooed the idea that Walker could win the nomination, a very disturbing attitude.<br /><br />My concern is that we need to knock down the false narrative that it is impossible for Walker to get in the White House.

"When an unborn child can feel pain, we should be protecting that child."<br /><br />Oh, I see. Scott Walker wants "we" to protect the unborn. This from a dog-rabid anti-government ideologue. So, we care about the unborn. But no one or nothing else. <br /><br />What about after birth, Scottie? What about helping those who need help then? <br /><br />Your ethics stink to high heaven. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-31240814565205575572015-07-20T16:07:44.301-05:002015-07-20T16:07:44.301-05:00Very disappointing to see you constantly label Wal...Very disappointing to see you constantly label Walker's chances at being the GOP nominee "preposterous". Someone in the clown car is going to get it or we will see a brokered convention which means the Republicans will go back to Mitt Romney. There is nothing other than empty rhetoric that says Walker has no chance and the polling data certainly says he does have a chance.<br /><br />And support from Koch? Remember, Paul Ryan made it on the 2012 ticket at the Koch's insistence (and a lot of money to Mitt). <br /><br />Does it make you feel better to deny reality and proclaim Walker cannot be the nominee? The presidential election, when Clinton was finishing out his term as a lame-duck, was hijacked in 2000. <br /><br />Why do you think empty, borderline boastful statements that we are not actually seeing Scott Walker consistently lead or be at the top of polls is helpful in motivating people to work-hard to defeat Walker at the ballot box (federal and state level)?<br /><br />I just don't get why some ignore reality and yet think people should value their analysis and reporting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-66996537229594605972015-07-20T16:02:23.139-05:002015-07-20T16:02:23.139-05:00What a buffoon!

This law will only potentially save the lives of 80 "unborn". What about the 7000 other "unborn" that fall into the pre 20 week category? Walkers a hypocrite. He sacrificed his religious, moral and ethical beliefs for a few votes. What a pig!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
