I lean toward believing his career at Marquette was cut short not by cheating student government politics (which is known to be true) but because he got a co-ed pregnant and got his parents to pay the associated costs...on the condition of signing a confidentiality agreement.
I do understand that my belief is highly prejudiced by my utterly complete disrespect of Walker's decency.

Sorry about your Bucks... The Bulls are pretty good.

(36,063 posts)I actually support NO WI-based athletics. You can take the flat-lander out of Illinois but you can never take Illinois out of the flat-lander.
I understand the Bulls are looking good but last night played a very crappy game against the Bucs

Completely bought.
ALEC veteran, so during his entire political life he was raised to be a sell out.
Sells out at fairly bargain prices (less than 3/4 million to change mining and environmental laws).
Blatantly sells out (less than 3/4 million to change mining and environmental laws).
I suspect a "mutually assured destruction" situation with some national level power broker(s). At one point during the John Doe2 investigations; rumors began circulating the a Scott Walker's office was about to flip states evidence. So, the nationally widely read uber-conservative newspaper the "Wall Street Press" published an editorial with a not so vague threat to Scott Walker in it.

The negotiations between Scott Walker and Federal Prosecutors stopped. He has been the darling of right wing power brokers ever since.
I read a lot into this, most likely far too much, but I can see things.
Like, he is being protected from federal level investigations; this is beyond the scope of Walker's political machine built here is Wisconsin.
Just under half of his total political contributions have come from out of state (according to Wi Democracy Campaign (www,wisdc.org) total: 256409 contributions generating $61,062,518.98; in state contributions were 126,580 contributors generating $31,494,699.39). These are the funds donated directly to him. They do not include funds to his "non-aligned" PACs (Wisconsin Club for Growth, Unintimidated PAC, and Our American Revival).
This is a lot of national interest in what would seem to be a bucolic generator of cheese.
