Walker sounds like a career politician whom has spent decades engaging only within a talk radio bubble.
Because he is.

I really hope Walker gets the GOP nomination, for two main reasons:
- He’ll be godawful easy to beat in the general. Turning out the Dem vote will not be a problem.
- I can’t wait to see him try to walk back all this right-wing smack he’s been running the last month or so.
Please proceed, Governor.

You know what you sound like, Scott? Every shitty husband who ever lived. “Yah, liberals! They just love to complain for no reason! Go figure! Can’t live with 'em and you can’t shoot 'em! Har har har!”

“I just think this is people who are chronically looking for ways to be upset about things instead of really looking at what it is,"
He’s absolutely right, and they’re called FOX NEWS

I thought Walker would be the toughest opponent for Dems in 2016. I no longer think that.

My thoughts, exactly. I’m delighted to see the “shining lights” of the G.O.P. painting themselves into the dark recesses of public opinion, and doing it so openly and stridently. They’re going to have a hell of time trying to dial it back later.

Some of us didn’t choose him and worked really hard to convince others not to either. We failed … [sad face; very, very sad face]

In the spring of 1954, McCarthy picked a fight with the U.S. Army, charging lax security at a top-secret army facility. The army responded that the senator had sought preferential treatment for a recently drafted subcommittee aide. Amidst this controversy, McCarthy temporarily stepped down as chairman for the duration of the three-month nationally televised spectacle known to history as the Army-McCarthy hearings.
The army hired Boston lawyer Joseph Welch to make its case. At a session on June 9, 1954, McCarthy charged that one of Welch’s attorneys had ties to a Communist organization. As an amazed television audience looked on, Welch responded with the immortal lines that ultimately ended McCarthy’s career: “Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness.” When McCarthy tried to continue his attack, Welch angrily interrupted, “Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?”
Overnight, McCarthy’s immense national popularity evaporated. Censured by his Senate colleagues, ostracized by his party, and ignored by the press, McCarthy died three years later, 48 years old and a broken man.
I thought Republicans wanted to return to the good old days when life was sweet and every family was like “Leave It To Beaver.”
Nah. They either rewrite history or IGNORE it.
Another big thanks to the MSM. Shameful.
Have you no sense of decency?

Scott–If you’re wondering why we are all upset, you answer your own question. Protection for religious liberty is in the Constitution. The law does not protect religious liberty, it authorizes discrimination against LGBT people and others.

Projection again – I strongly suspect that “looking for ways to be upset” is actually true of the proponents of the law (not to mention being true of Republican politicians in general).

Not entirely true. But while this article [Article I, Section 18] is more specific and terser than the clauses of the 1st amendment, it carries the same import. Both provisions are intended and operate to serve the purposes of prohibiting the establishment of religion and protecting the free exercise of religion.
Wisconsin State Constitution
Article I, Section 18
Freedom of worship; liberty of conscience; state religion; public funds. [As amended Nov. 1982] The right of every person to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of conscience shall never be infringed; nor shall any person be compelled to attend, erect or support any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry, without consent; nor shall any control of, or interference with, the rights of conscience be permitted, or any preference be given by law to any religious establishments or modes of worship; nor shall any money be drawn from the treasury for the benefit of religious societies, or religious or theological seminaries.
“The Wisconsin Constitution offers more expansive protections for freedom of conscience than those offered by the 1st amendment. When an individual makes a claim that state law violates his or her freedom of conscience, courts apply the compelling state interest/least restrictive alternative test, requiring the challenger to prove that he or she has a sincerely held religious belief that is burdened by application of the state law at issue. Upon such a showing, the burden shifts to the state to prove that the law is based in a compelling state interest that cannot be served by a less restrictive alternative.”
Noesen v. Department of Regulation and Licensing, 2008 WI App 52, 311 Wis. 2d 237, 751 N.W.2d 385, 06-1110.
Freedom of conscience in the Wisconsin Constitution applies to individuals, not to corporations and businesses as in the Indiana RFRA. Furthermore, Wisconsin has legal protections for its LGBT citizens and Indiana does not. So Walker is quite wrong in saying that the two situations are the same.

If the 2000 election taught me anything, it was not to make any assumptions about who was and was not electable.

Yeah Scotty. Just like all those "Ni(CLANG!) who bitched ENDLESSLY about the “Free Neck Stretching” that the KKK and their supporters used to give them. They too were just “Looking for ways to be upset.”
Look in the dictionary under the word “Pandering Asshole” and there is Scotty’s picture.

So Sen. Kirk(R-IL) is “people who are chronically looking for ways to be upset about things instead of really looking at what it is.”?

I agree with Walker. I mean, let’s face it, the one thing –

have in common is that they’re all a bunch of shiftless agitators with nothing better to do than stir up hatred for freedom-loving Christian Americans.
It’s such and obvious shallow ploy. Sheesh.
