He's was previously elected and re-elected as a Republican County Executive in Milwaukee of all places.

The man is a Boy Scout (can I still say that and have it be a positive?).He says what he means and he means what he says.

The worst anyone could say about him (and they do) is that he doesn't have a college degree.

2016 is probably pushing it, but he'd be an excellent President. However, I don't believe America will elect an excellent President ever again.

Any mention of my scouting past from this disgraceful period forward will be with the qualifier: Vintage Scout or Genuine Scout.

Of all the many viable targets for justifiable hatred lately, the faggot nazis being allowed to ruin a once-laudable organization via the cowardice of those entrusted with its stewardship is right up there on the list.


spit .. never another dime, never another referral

Yes, but WHY doesn't he have a college degree? He was within a few credits of graduating from Marquette when he withdrew and took a job with the American Red Cross. He has said that he couldn't turn down the job offer because the money was good.

He married his sweetheart in 1993, a widow who is a few years older than he. They have 2 boys (she had no children with her first husband) and they are a wonderful family. He went from The Red Cross to the State Legislature and then he ran for County Executive where he served 2 1/2 terms.

After cleaning up Milwaukee, he ran for Governor where he's done a fabulous job. He's rolled back taxes. He's given us Concealed Carry. He's given us Voter ID, although it's still tied up in court. He's given us Act 10 which saves us a ton of money in schools a municipalities.

Ten Things You Did Not Know About Scott Walker
