| I really like the guy *so far* he seems very intelligent and composed. I'm betting it will come down to Walker and Bush to see who gets the nod. |

| He is one of my top picks. But to early for me to pick just one. I really like what Carly has been saying so far. I would like to see her somewhere on the ticket. |

Location: Wisconsin | If you like him so much, come to Wisconsin--the land of low paying jobs and high taxes. He is backed by the Koch brothers and will say whatever they pay him to say. He was kicked out of Marquette University for cheating and was a poor student in high school (per one of his classmates). Yes, he is one of a kind. |

Yeah.. I was thinking the same thing. After seeing what he did up in Wisconsin the only way I'd vote for him would be if he was running for silhouette on a target range. |

This is a liberal Democrat lie. He was not kicked out of school. The Democrat party in Wisconsin tried to propagate this but it failed, and they no longer use this line of attack. Walker has lowered income taxes across the board. Wisconsin is a beautiful state, but it's biggest problem is an over infestation of liberals, which makes Walker's progress even more impressive.
Walker does not have a college degree, which is pretty meaningless to a lot of people anyway, given the fact that our public education system has been increasingly abysmal over the past 3 decades anyway.
By the way, Harry Truman didn't have a college degree either.....and he was a Democrat. |

Location: Wisconsin | Sorry to disappoint all of you guys--but taxes have not decreased in Wisconsin. I see it on my paycheck every week. Also, my property taxes have remained the same--they haven't increased but they have definitely have not decreased.
My wages have decreased and we raise cattle so thankfully that market has been good. Thank God my husband's income has increased--but he works for a company out of Nebraska. He had to quit his job in Wisconsin because we couldn't afford him being laid off for 6 months out of the year for lack of work.
The best politician in Wisconsin was Dale Schultz. Dale disagreed with Scotty on a lot of issues because Dale knew how dishonest Scotty is. Therefore, Scotty had another Republican run again Dale. Dale said he wouldn't run for office again since politics are not about representing the interest of the people anymore--it is about how much money you can raise.
I also put a lot of weight in Scotty's high school classmate who is a successful local business owner. She is shocked he has gone as far as he has. She said Scotty's is someone's puppet as he isn't bright enough to come up with his ideas on his own.
Go ahead and vote for the idiot. You will get what you deserve.

Location: Wisconsin | Sorry you feel that way. I am not sure what you mean by hearsay. Dale Schultz represented my area. A very well respected Republican that disagreed with Walker on many issues because he knew Walker was not telling the truth. I went to listen to Dale speak several times. What is hearsay about that? Dale voted against Walker and Walker had another Republican run against him.
I find it interesting that so many of you who have no idea what Walker has done to the State of Wisconsin feel that you know more that I do when I actually live in the state and see the effects every day of what he has done. Just because he has an "R" behind his name does not make him a good person. He is not.

Location: Wisconsin | Why is it hearsay? Dale's voting record showed he voted against Scotty. When Dale was interviewed, he explained why he voted against Scotty.
Just because someone has a different view--a person who actually has firsthand knowledge--you get a little defensive.
I am interested to hear what you think about Scotty's employee's getting convicted? Do you think it was all made up about his personal campaign computer being setup and his staff working on his campaign during work time? Since you are so informed about Scotty and I am not, I would like to hear what you have to say? |

| The person who has the most money backing their campaign will be the one to win.
It has been shown that a majority of the time, the candidate who has the most money via contributions will win the election. AND you can bet that money didn't come from individual, middle class, blue collar workers. It comes from corporations and the very wealthy. The winner then "owes" them face time, office time, etc. from their lobbyists and company reps. I just keep getting more disgruntled with our political system--mind you, I still vote as it is my responsibility to do, but I think this system needs to change. |

That's useful information, and a very potent counterpoint. I did a quick check on Dale Schultz and it sounds like he has often sided with Democrats on a number of issues. On the collective bargaining issue, it appears he was the only Republcan state senator to side with the Democrats. I see he dropped out in the GOP primary. Gee I wonder why.
You used a lie to discredit Walker in your opening statement, and when I called you on it you accused me of being defensive. Just because someone has an "R" behind his name doesn't make him/her a solid conservative. Now, in the case of the reverse, if someone has a "D" behind his/her name, rest assured they are liberal. |

Location: Wisconsin | Google "illegal campaigning on taxpayers time". That might help you.
Six of his staff members were convicted of 15 felony indictments--embezzlement, money laundering and staffers mixing state business with campaign efforts.
This was done while Scotty was Milwaukee County Executive and he was running for governor.
He denies any knowledge of what his staff members were doing.
This gives me a warm fuzzing feeling to think he would make a great president. Or is this hearsay also?

Location: Wisconsin | Dale voted against because he thought everybody should be included and not have the law officers excluded. The reason law officers were not included--the Fitzgerald brother's dad was in charge of the State Patrol. Didn't want to hurt their daddy's benefits. Another example to show that you really don't know Wisconsin politics. |
