(32,723 posts)In Right Wing World Reagan was wildly popular with the entire country,....(he wasn't)....and part of the reason he was wildly popular with the entire country,....(which he wasn't)....was because he cracked down on Unions.
They honestly believe Scott Walker cracking down on Unions makes him so wildly popular with the entire country that a majority of the people will carry him on their shoulders all the way to the White House.
Seriously.
They honestly believe that.

(10,558 posts)I live in a right wing leaning area of Western Washington, (rural Pierce/Thurstan Co.). Of the 13 households on my dead-end street, only a couple of us are Democrats. One of my neighbors is a faithful Glen Beck fan but he sometimes listens to Fox-(so called)-News for what he calls 'fair and balanced' information. A couple months back he told me that he hoped Scott Walker would run because Walker "actually took on the Unions and won!" (Is that the BS that Glenn Beck has been spouting? Is Beck hoping to suckle on a little Koch Bros teat?)
I suspect the propaganda that the right wing hate machine has been pumping out has created a legion of union hating voters, with the aid of Koch. Bros $$, their champion is soon going to be Scott Walker. I'll join Thom Hartmann in predicting that Scott Walker will be the Republican Nominee. (Thom's been predicting this for at least since just before the Wisconsin Governor's recall vote.)

He said that's why they called it "The Union Army".

(20,166 posts)The Koch heads are going to try to portray him as the "sane", above-the-fray alternative to the loonies in the GOP clown car (especially Trump) and the Reaganesque alternative to the "liberals" and "socialists".
Personally, I believe he has the potential to be even more devastating to an already crumbling America than the "compassionate conservative" Bush was.
The little soul-less twerp is eager to serve his far-right corporatist masters and to push their agenda forward as far as possible.

(184 posts)Be prepared to hear that over and over on the national level. This is how they get Walmart Republicans to vote for him. They use fear, religion, and jealousy. The message when busting state employee union's was "you pay a fortune for your health insurance, shouldn't those teacher's and other smarty pants have to pay their fare share." It was disgusting to watch how well this worked. They labeled state employees as lazy and stupid. They made these claims that all school teachers made 100 thousand a year. Walmart Republicans gobbled that crap up because they are jealous. I could go on and on about this. It's going to be painful to see this type of hate, jealousy, and lies done all over again at the national level. Add racism to the mix and we have the gross evil mind of your average Walmart Republican and there are a lot of them who will show up on voting day wearing their camouflage God Bless America hat that was made in China that they bought with their employee discount. The same hat they wear to church where they learn about how their bible, gun, Jesus, and Nascar will save them from the onslaught of commie liberals and the gay agenda. I guess maybe I am elitist after all. I believe America has to do better than this or it will fall.

(56,828 posts)Walker's lack of education...
>>>
And Deans remark to which Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough responded incredulously, Are you serious? came across as tone-deaf and condescending to many, including Art Hackney, chairman of the American Association of Political Consultants. Hackney is an authority on the subject, since his firm, Hackney & Hackney, worked on three campaigns against former Alaska Sen. Mark Begich, who during his one term was the only sitting senator without a degree. In each race, Hackney told Yahoo News, Begichs education was considered, and rejected, as a possible issue.
All of us felt that within a very small niche of people it made a very large difference, he said. We thought it would probably be brought up, but determined it wasnt worth campaigning on. As for Walker, who called Deans comments elitist, Hackney said, Hes exactly right to play on the notion that its elitist. All you have to do is point to Bill Gates. All you have to do is say, Harry Truman didnt have a college degree; Barry Goldwater didnt have a college degree, Abraham Lincoln didnt have a college degree.

(27,985 posts)* Walker's office was recently involved in a failed effort to change Wisconsin's open-records law in order to obstruct access to government records, including his.
* Walker thinks implementing mandatory ultrasounds for women considering abortion is "just a cool thing."
* In April, the Walker sent memos to fifty-seven environmental agency employees, warning them that they might face being laid off as a consequence of his budget over the next two fiscal years. The kicker: he did it on Earth Day.
* Gov. Walker and the Koch brothers agree on many things, but are at odds over whether taxpayers should pay for half of a new basketball arena for the Milwaukee Bucks.
* One time, Scott Walker fell for a crank-call from a fake David Koch. Seriously.
* The real David Koch is apparently a pretty big fan, though.
* Scott Walker promised to negotiate with public-sector unions, and then launched a surprise attack on them.
* Scott Walker is not a huge fan of same-sex marriage.
* Scott Walker is even less of a fan of making voting simple and easy.
* Walker and his allies stacked the deck in the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
* Here's a guide the scandal that could tank his presidential hopes.
* And don't forget that time he compared Islamic extremists to Wisconsin protesters!

(81,441 posts)to block access to government records, unless YOU, in the government yourself, were up to something you didn't want people to see?
He screwed the firefighters, teachers, and police. And he thinks there's simply nothing wrong with forced ultrasounds because ultrasounds are "cool." Well, maybe when you actually WANT one. They can be very cool. I had 'em when I was pregnant, too. But as a coercive government order? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!!

NO. I am NOT EVER going to be willing to have to look at that face for the next four years (I'm sorry, but I have to ask - is he really as crooked as his face is?). Any more than I am willing to listen to OR look at ted cruz for the next four years. Or to marco rubio for the next four years. Or to chris christie and have to listen to "sit down and shut up" for the next four years.
To name but a few.
Ever play that game with some photo where the subject is looking straight forward into the camera - where you hide one side of the face and study that half, and then you hide the other side of the face and study that other half? I've heard it said that the two sides of any face are not identical, and sometimes they tell you things about the inner person in the photo. With scott walker - YUCK.

(581 posts)A college education broaden your views on all issues and makes you think on all key points of an issue. Thus Walker has signed so many bill that are radical and extreme and short changed his budget, he would not be good for leading America. Walker has been funded and controlled by the Koch brothers so if he won the White House, the Koch brother would in fact be in control of American. That is exactly what they want.
