Discussion for article #240282

When you head is so far up a Koch’s ass, it’s hard to think on your feet.

Good gosh, Scott. It’s politics 101–reframe the question to something you want to answer, then talk until you can legitimately point to the next questioner without the first jumping in with a follow-up.

That’s the way this Koch-scripted turd rolls. Not a word to Wisconsin voters about his plans to bust unions or cut corporate taxes and then de-fund public education till after he was elected. Just platitudes, generalities and attempts to paint the media as biased.

Yep, dead eyes, there is such a thing as a hypothetical. You’re just too devious and stupid to think on your feet. You may have fooled Wisconsin with your backwoods bullshit, but the rest of us are on to your crappy, Koch-funded game bozo.

Punting on questions is a Walker feature, not a bug.

Which is true, he has zilch.

Walker is trying to master getting elected by running from discussing issues and positions. It’s worked for him in the past, and being dead inside, there’s nothing he can think of short of answering questions, so…

So much for the judgement of the Koch brothers . . . . . .they really bankrolled the wrong horse in this race.

When your head is in the toilet, don’t blow bubbles.

Put this on a long list of things Walker knows nothing about.

Its really par for the course from someone simply running as a placeholder candidate for the vagaries of Koch Bros Incorporated. Unless he’s been told explicitly what to say and how to say it, generally in advance, he’s really nothing more than a mental midget being asked to do a Herculean task for his paymasters. He has nary a clue as to how to navigate his misguided ambition into national politics.

For a brief moment I thought he might be a real challenger in this race, primarily due to all the hype in the media…Not anymore. He’s as dumb as rocks, and just about as endearing.

A fundie Christian who signed Nordquist’s no-taxes pledge, froze education spending, and shut down state government in a battle with public sector unions, Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty had a weekly radio show on which he repeatedly pretended not to have positions on issues on which he fund-raised, and on legislation his minions wrote. Of course he would end up doing just what a fundie right-winger could be expected to do. Walker is under the impression that his very similar electoral career will be more successful than Pawlenty’s, but his drop in the polls looks a lot like Pawlenty’s at this point in the campaign cycle. We can expect Walker to be wiped out in Iowa, too. Maybe he’s really angling for the kind of cushy post-gubernatorial job Pawlenty’s sponsors awarded him.

I’ve been reading several books about the Neolithic era recently, and one author made an interesting point about Neanderthal society: that they only had a ‘primary consciousness’ and were incapable of, among other things, subjunctive thought (ie, hypotheticals), personal empathy,or learning from anything but the immediate past.

That goes right along with my impression of the article: Scott Walker is Sarah P in drag.

His avoiding to take a position on any issue means he’s been a shifty politician all along.

Scott Walker can’t even play team sports in night league because he’s afraid to take a position. BAM!!

Walker was asked if he thought that he was a cross-eyed dick and he said that it wasn’t polite to speak of dicks in public, especially himself so he punted his dick.

It isn’t the wishy-washy style, vagaries galore or empty stare/egghead look on Walker that will do him in, it’s his actual bloody awful governing record and deceptive leadership practices.
Boil it down to, he’s a zero with the charisma of a door knob.
My apologies to real door knobs.
