The longer Scott Walker is Governor of Wisconsin the more I am amazed at how such a half-wit could become governor. The guy dropped out of college after 4 years, with what his campaign people stated was a 2.59 GPA. So, who is able to afford to go to Marquette University and drop-out before they get a degree? Did daddy pay his tuition? And how does a dolt like him fool enough people into thinking he can actually manage an entire state? They guy couldn't even handle a country for christs sake.
What really irks me is here we have yet another Republican who certainly never had to work for anything in his life. Everything was handed to him as he went along his merry way, continuing to fool those around him. So how DID he actually make it to being governor? Well, let's start with the Karl Rove money machine. He was backed with a hefty amount of money, and some of that money came directly from Karl Rove's corporations set up strictly for funneling money to political campaigns. Why did the Rove Machine choose Scott Walker over Mark Neumann? Simple, and as much as I didn't really care for some of Mark Neumann's ideas, one thing I recognized was that he wasn't as apt to be corrupted by the Rove Machine. The difference too between Neumann and Walker is that Neumann believes in capitalism, whereas Walker believes and is controlled by corporatism.
And now, here we sit. The state of Wisconsin is faced with an autocratic leader who wants to impose his will on the state. He reminds me a lot of an old supervisor we had. He hated unions, and thought he could go about doing anything he wanted to try and mess with the people in the mill. Hell, he even had some of those on the union executive committee scared because of his tactics and his smooth talk. Until the day came where I stood up to this clown, and went toe to toe with him and watched as my union rep's backed down. It took me going further up the chain in the union to get things straightened out and to get this guy to back down. I only hope that the state workers are able to do the same with this poor excuse of a governor. If not, then move over China because Wisconsin workers will begin to challenge you for those $20 a week jobs sooner than you know.
