"I campaigned on (the proposals in the budget repair bill for Wisconsin) all throughout the election
"I campaigned on (the proposals in the budget repair bill for Wisconsin) all throughout the election. Anybody who says they are shocked on this has been asleep for the past two years."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he campaigned on his budget repair plan, including curtailing collective bargaining

In the turbulent wake of his controversial plan to sharply curtail collective bargaining rights, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has faced criticism that he gave no warning of such a dramatic plan during the long 2010 governor’s race.

Walker has forcefully challenged that contention, most bluntly at a Feb. 21, 2011 news conference. A reporter asked if the move to limit union power was payback for pro-union moves made by Democrats in the past.

"It’s not a tit for tat," Walker responded. "The simple matter is I campaigned on this all throughout the election. Anybody who says they are shocked on this has been asleep for the past two years."

3. LIES! LIES! LIES!
He did NOT mention his union-busting scheme at all. TIT FOR TAT, or PAYBACK, whatever you want to call it, he did not reveal this AT ALL.

5. No he didn't
Edited on Sun Mar-06-11 02:42 PM by EC
He specifically said over and over that he did not have to reveal his plans to balance the budget or create jobs period...Every time someone would ask - that's what he would say...Tom Barrett, said this is what Walker would do if elected and Walker denied it, time after time....


So NO Scott Walker YOU never said it.

6. What is this "tat" that Walker speaks of? Where can I get some?
Is it expensive? Where would I exchange the tat? What is the exchange rate or is that based on market prices? What are the redemption options? I hate to admit it, but it looks like Walker might have an idea that will make him more popular, at least to a lot of guys (and some gals).
