If his dropping out of college during his 4th year to work for the Red Cross is his biggest negative, he's in pretty good shape.
He dropped out because he was 34 credits short... He couldn't even pay attention in his vaunted political science class.. Of course he claims he never looked up his score and never knew how many credits he had or needed to graduate. Yeah, this is just exactly what we need in the white house. He lies worse than obozo..
34 credits is about 2 semesters, I'm guessing. Why do you say he's lying?
If he didn't pay attention during classes and decided to drop out, I'd say that was a wise choice. Good for him.....obviously it served him well. Bill Gates dropped out and it served him well. Maybe his not paying attention during political science class was because he didn't buy into some liberal professor's bullsh!t. | |

I say he is lying because I grew up in a college town and have met 100s of students... I never met one that didn't know exactly how many credits they had and how many they needed to finish school... Right down to 1/4 credit. But what does he say?
His credit total is 34 short of the 128 minimum needed to graduate in one major, a total that requires an average of 16 per semester. Walker told the 1990 yearbook interviewer he was triple majoring in political science, philosophy and economics; that likely would have meant an even heavier load.
Asked now about the apparent discrepancy, Walker told us he wasn’t sure exactly how many credits he needed because he hasn’t looked it up.

I think this gives a little more insight as to why he didn't finish his college courses. He also made the statement in another interview that he didn't go to school to just get an education but to get a JOB. Additionally, I would like to hear from a few more who live in WI and their thoughts. Two disgruntled opinions doesn't cut it for me....He was elected, survived a recall and was RE-ELECTED......It seems that he has more support than not, doesn't it????
In a his State of the State speech in 2013, the governor gave a few more details about that time of his life: "During my senior year at Marquette University, I was offered a full-time job at the American Red Cross. I thought I would squeeze in a course here or there and finish things off in a year or two, but then Tonette and I got married. Then we had Matt. And then came Alex. Next thing you know, you're putting all your extra time and money into your kids."
Walker worked for four years at the American Red Cross, handling its marketing and fundraising efforts.

I do remember his explanation, now that you mention it, Norma. Seems like an honest one to me. He wasn't flunking out or in trouble. He was just an average student, so this makes sense. Sounds like he fell in love and his priorities changed...he became responsible for someone besides himself. | |

I don't understand where you are going with this. I could care crap less that he dropped out or finished. I graduated high school and became nothing. My father dropped out of the 7th grade and became the first computer annalist on the first command and control computers installed in the pentagon... When it comes down to basic analytical skills and the use of common sense I never met anyone smarter than my father, and I don't even like him... But I'll tell you what. I never caught him in a lie. If you think attendance to school is some kind of litmus test proving honesty and integrity, you are mistaken. | |

No, I was making an issue over what he claims about his school days. You claim you don't know how many credits you finished with and I believe you. But I'll bet you were keeping track of how many you needed to complete your degree when you were in school. | |

| He is definitely one of my top picks at this time.........will be good to see him in debate mode. He is definitlely a winner to win an election and a recount, esp[ecially being a republican in a liberal state. He has backbone, which is a big lacking in a lot of the pres prospects, and politicians in general! | |

???? I don't think that he has ever lied about leaving college before he graduated. Regarding his "aides", it would be hard to prove IF he knew anything.....and none of those arrested said that he did. There was a THREE YEAR investigation....plenty of time and effort to dig up dirt IF there was any to be had........
eta: I agree that every candidate needs to be vetted.....Out of 16 (or now 17), he has risen to the top five of my list ..... but we have a LONG way to go......LOL

Location: Wisconsin | If you think he would make a good president based on busting the unions, great. But please don't vote for him if you think he will increase jobs and decrease taxes. He has not done that in Wisconsin. He promised if elected he would create 250,000 jobs. He doesn't say a word about that now because he was unable do it.
Walker was elected as governor in 2011. My property taxes for the last several years:
2014: $2,120.49
2013: $2,192.93
2012: $2,241.16
2011: $2,219.46
2010: $2,379.98
2009: $2,316.11
2008: $2,173.83
2007: $2,045.23
2006: $1,946.19
When I get a chance, I will look at my income taxes but it will tell a similar story. Meanwhile, my income has decreased.
Also, Wisconsin is not a liberal state. We are known as a purple state. Madison is known as liberal. I live in a rural community that always votes Republican as does the majority of the rural areas.
The same year we voted Scott as governor, we voted Tammy Baldwin as a senator--a lesbian democratic candidate.
Please do your research on your candidates. I know with many of you it will not matter what I say to change your mind--and that is OK. But for the people that want to know facts about job creation and taxes, just ask and I will see what I can find out. | |

What am I missing here, Pepsi? I did a double take, but it seems to me your property taxes have declined since Walker was elected. At any rate, over the past 9 years I would say that your propert taxes have been remarkably stable. What's your point?
In my opinion, Wisconsin is a liberal state, just like Minnesota. Both states have conservative rural areas, but the urban areas are heavily infested with liberals.
What does Tammy Baldwin have to do with this discussion? She's one of the most liberal senators in the senate. What does her sexual orientation have to do with this? Why did you point that out?
What exactly did Walker do to reduce your income? Real income has declined significantly since Obama was elected, hasn't it?
Honestly, this thread makes my head spin.....I feel like I'm chasing a white bunny to Wonderland. | |

Your property tax depends on the decisions made by your LOCAL government to determine the "millage rate" for your city, county, etc. and the value that your LOCAL assessor gives your property. Your property tax is then distributed to YOUR LOCAL municipality's residents.....has nothing to so with STATE. Additionally, from all that I have read, your state (payroll) tax percentage has decreased.
I would be interested to know your thoughts regarding his welfare reform programs.

He dropped out because he was 34 credits short... He couldn't even pay attention in his vaunted political science class.. Of course he claims he never looked up his score and never knew how many credits he had or needed to graduate. Yeah, this is just exactly what we need in the white house. He lies worse than obozo.. 34 credits is about 2 semesters, I'm guessing. Why do you say he's lying? If he didn't pay attention during classes and decided to drop out, I'd say that was a wise choice. Good for him.....obviously it served him well. Bill Gates dropped out and it served him well. Maybe his not paying attention during political science class was because he didn't buy into some liberal professor's bullsh!t. I say he is lying because I grew up in a college town and have met 100s of students... I never met one that didn't know exactly how many credits they had and how many they needed to finish school... Right down to 1/4 credit. But what does he say?
His credit total is 34 short of the 128 minimum needed to graduate in one major, a total that requires an average of 16 per semester. Walker told the 1990 yearbook interviewer he was triple majoring in political science, philosophy and economics; that likely would have meant an even heavier load.
Asked now about the apparent discrepancy, Walker told us he wasn’t sure exactly how many credits he needed because he hasn’t looked it up.
This guy is so full of $*it his eyes are brown. I don't remember how many credits I finished with. How many did you finish with, Huey? I was from a poor family Doc.. I never went... Does that matter on the subject of his lies? That does not say much for you tho. Even the people that went there to party for four years knew how many credits they had.
Being poor is a reason not to go to college? They do offer scholorships (I had them) and worked.
I have a nifty degree stashed somewhere....and haven't the slightest clue how many credits it took to get it. Asked a couple of my friends (with 4 year degrees) how many credits it took to graduate...none of them could remember either. So speaking from a group of people with degrees, I'd say your statement is wrong.
