Within weeks of being sworn in as Governer (sic) of Wisconsin, Scott Walker had earned a unique mix of scorn and contempt from our best and brightest citizens. For your pleasure, here's a small sample of what Wisconsinites told Scott they think of him.

(2,863 posts)My governor is Rick Scott. I voted against Scott twice. How do these people get elected the first time let alone for a second term.

(5,946 posts)In Wisconsin the woman who made up the numbers in an election for a judge that ruled in favor of Scott Walker - well, she is still head of elections in that area - never got prosecuted, the lack of procedures have not changes - she said she changed the numbers int he election in favor of the Scott W. based on a phone call - no documentation showed that, later when they went to look at the paper votes - the bag was locked as procedure - but the top was lock open, not closed, easily vulnerable to vote tampering..
And seriously - how do the win in Florida - surely you know how that is done.

(2,863 posts)I felt that 2014 was just no one showing from the democratic side. The polls were empty when I went. Also the northern half of our state is very republican. I know that the republicans cheat, but I can't believe that anyone would willfully cast a ballot for people like this. The republicans are always fear mongering about voter fraud while they commit election fraud. I'll keep showing and voting against the republicans every time, but I guess if this is what we have to deal with we will be stuck with assholes. Thanks for telling me about what happened up in Wisconsin. I did not hear about that before.

(5,946 posts)we don't have early voting, there is just one day, not many use absentee ballots, you are supposed to only use that if you know you can't make it to the polls. When I go to vote - no one is there, No one, I had to wait behind one person once in 30 years. I have gone in the morning, I have gone in the afternoon and when I worked, in the evening. The only times I saw cars inthe parking lot was the special election, then the regular election came and lowest voting ever. - note: Christie did not want to run for governor when Corey Booker was running because he was a popular person, so he set a special election for Booker 3 weeks before the general election and it cost the voters several million dollar, nice fiscal responsibility there Christie =ass

The combination of arrogance and anti-intellectualism is disgusting. And it's all to serve a vile right-wing agenda, paid for by the Koch Brothers.
