Really? “we’re so grateful he made time for us” I have yet to see this lout spend any of his time in what appeared to be a productive way. Can’ wait until he is in situations where he must speak off the cuff…he will be exposed for the tool that he is…

Ignorance Is A Family Value

Nice legacy. Didn’t we have another dumbfuck pResident that went AWOL for a couple of years to work on campaigns? Worked out so well for us the last time.

The Republican War on Education marches ever-onward.

Many things are inherited. Apparently, lack of followup and an inability to succeed academically.

Why don’t the boys enlist in the armed services because if Scotty has his way it’s “war time!” Or, have they taken some unique advice from Dick Cheney??

What, you mean they aren’t joining the military to fight for our freedom killing Da’esh and Russians and Iranians? You don’t say!

Yet another reason that if these fascist freaks cause a war, we need a draft with no “Cheney deferments” for any children among the demon spawn of the war pigs.

That’s a badge of honor ?

Republican sons do not enlist. That’s for the lower orders. They simply stand back and let others have the glory, and take the bullets. Romney and his lads have shown the way.

Hey, Scott–tell them to stay in school! Better use of their time.

That’s what I was thinking, but I’d be shocked beyond belief if they did.

What happens if some of the kids that his offspring talk with ask impolite questions about his integrity? Or about the illegal bookkeeping trick he pulled to make it look like he’d balanced the books? Or about his links to the Koch bros.? Or about a whole multitude of things he’d rather not talk about?

Does anyone think that their responses won’t be picked up by the press?

Education is not important to Republicans. When they get elected to office, they have such animosity toward teachers that they slash their education budgets, causing them to fail, and they blame it on poor family values not being strong enough amongst poor people. Republicans manufacture their own failed reality.

Historically speaking, settlers to the free states of the mid-west and north built schools as the very first public building in each and every town. Schools were essential so that their children could learn to read the Bible. In southern states, this principle was not so strong. Education lagged behind because parents didn’t so much care for the Bible as a part of their daily lives. So, schools were not the first public building erected by communities when they were first established. In the Midwest, however, schools were the absolute most important element of public community life. Republicans today are bent on removing education as an element that holds communities together, and gives reason for small towns to exist. Republicans are aiming to dumb down the American public, to divide and conquer the people. Schools are just one element of their strategy.

Sounds like they are following in the footsteps of the Romney sons in “serving their country” by working on their father’s campaign. Their equating real service with self-serving campaigning has always really disgusted me.

Walker can’t let the boys get an education. After all, then they would be correcting him all the time, and they might eventually not be able to stifle the laughter when he speaks.

Are they leaving voluntarily or were they caught cheating, like dear old dad?

That’s great. They can follow in good old Dad’s footsteps and become college dropouts too!

Because, as we all know,

the family that dropouts together

Becomes insufferable louts together.

Campaign organizing … not too much unlike community organizing.

perhaps… except in the case you’re trying to point to the person you’re referring to did manage to finish both college and law school unlike pappy gov…

How sad that Dad is so consumed by his ambition that he’s at least allowing, if not encouraging, his sons to harness themselves to his desires for glory. Walker’s candidacy will not be a glorious triumph and, if he accidentally became president, promises a tenure in office at least as destructive and inept as W’s.
