No! This is not possible! Republicans are all squeaky clean, honorable and faultlessly honest little Christian angels........
Well, I guess that's bullshit too. Just like the rest of their naive beliefs. Dave |

"When you say "radical right" today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party away from the Republican Party, and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye." Of course, that was about 20 years ago. |

"A U.S. district judge ruled in favor of the group last month, in a decision that halted the investigation into possible illegal coordination and represented a victory for Walker. A federal appeals judge is now reviewing that ruling." Prosecutors: Scott Walker part of 'criminal scheme' http://www.politico.com/story/2014/0...ng-108073.html The saga continues. |

"On May 6, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa granted a preliminary injunction against the five county-level prosecutors from continuing their so-called John Doe investigation. Randa, who was appointed by George H.W. Bush in 1992, ordered that all property seized in the investigation be returned and said the conservative groups don’t need to cooperate. Frank Easterbrook, the judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals who is reviewing the decision, was appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1985."

"Schmitz, who spent 30 years in the Wisconsin U.S. attorney’s office, was appointed by a judge in August 2013 as a special prosecutor to lead the five-county investigation. “The conduct under investigation clearly violates Wisconsin law and the subpoenas do not infringe on constitutionally protected speech or activity,” he argued. Schmitz seems to have focused in on R.J. Johnson in their investigation, who is linked with outside groups and played an official, paid role on Walker’s campaign. One of the emails obtained via subpoena was from Walker to Rove, the GOP rainmaker. The full May 4, 2011, message is not being made public but the prosecutor quotes from it. “Bottom-line: R.J. helps keep in place a team that is wildly successful in Wisconsin,” the governor wrote Rove. “We are running 9 recall elections and it will be like running 9 Congressional markets in every market in the state (and Twin Cities.)” This refers not to Walker’s own recall, but the union-led effort to remove state senators who had backed Walker’s controversial budget to limit the collective bargaining power of public employees. Several big outside groups spent heavily to protect the Republicans. Schmitz argues that, for all practical purposes, Johnson controlled the Wisconsin Club for Growth and that he used it as “the hub” for a coordinated campaign between 501(c)(4)’s and the Walker campaign. “Notably, prior to the 2011 Wisconsin Senate recall elections, the national Club for Growth organization raised concerns about coordination or interaction between [the Wisconsin chapter] and [the Walker campaign] as early as 2009,” Schmitz writes. The Wisconsin Club for Growth said in its own motion that “armed officers raided the homes of R.J. Johnson, WCFG advisor Deborah Jordahl, and several other targets across the state” early one morning last October. The group’s lawyers argued in court filings that there was “frivolous” overreach in the investigation that amounts to prosecutorial misconduct."

Where might we have seen such things before? Ah, I know! Just let me rearrange a few words.................. There, I see the reality of it, now. Dave |
Walker is a scumbag and has been ever since he dropped out of Marquette after campaign irregularities while running for student body President. He has yet to come clean why he dropped out 34 credit hours short of a degree. He's a bum.

"Republicans want a free market and yet they want handicaps for their candidates: We are supposed to lower the bar for Sarah Palin who doesn’t read, for Christine O’Donnell who doesn’t read and cheats on her campaign finances, for Jan Brewer who never went to college and can’t manage a budget without murdering people, and for Scott Walker who doesn’t know what he doesn’t know about his own state constitution and laws. See, that’s the thing about ignorant people, they make great puppets." |
Another Repub governor, (presidential candidate in waiting) bites the big one.
That so called 'deep bench' seems more than a little thin these days. It's going to be a cakewalk for Madame President Clinton. ;) :) |
Looks like Kooks in the Klown Kar are Kareening into Kontroversies. Might as well pick Mitt again.

It is said that the path to success is strewn with failures. :D
Cruz, Perry, Walker, Christie, .................................... |

As far as a political model is concerned, Walker is nothing particularly special. He's on the same one-way street as pretty much every other GOP governor in the country. The State executive and legislative (both parties are pretty guilty of this) play the vote-whoring "I created jobs in this state/" game by allowing themselves to be butt-fucked by American corporations for big State corporate income tax breaks by moving their legal offices from one state to another every three years. And by the "I won't raise your taxes" vote whoring game. So the States are more and more broke every year...and then GOP Governors jump in blaming their state's fiscal woes on members of greedy public unions and greedy overpaid public school teachers, and greedy management level public servants who negotiated good pensions for themselves in lieu of the paycheck they would have gotten for 25 years working in the private sector.
And the gullible, ignorant, lazy-ass fucking electorates in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Arizona, etc., just buy it. |
