Scott Walker Superstar

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, the Republican Party has a genuine star. The Republican Party has a demonstrated, genuine hero and potential star in its ranks, and he is the governor the Wisconsin. His name is Scott Walker. Scott Walker has won three out of four elections in the last five or six years, regular gubernatorial races and a couple of recalls. Every American labor union, every American labor union thug, a rigged judiciary, a rigged media. The Democrat Party has thrown everything they've got at Scott Walker, and he has beat them back without one syllable of complaint, without one ounce of whining.

All he has done is win and implement a conservative agenda that has created a budget surplus in his state. That has created rampant new employment. That has created a budget surplus which has allowed him to cut taxes. He has dealt a serious below to the teachers unions, all to the benefit of Wisconsin school kids. The Democrat Party, in conjunction with the national media, has thrown every bit of slime, every bit of excrement, every dirty trick they have at Scott Walker, and he has beat every effort to not just beat him in an election, but to destroy him, to destroy his career, to destroy his reputation, and to destroy his life.

In the week before the election, Barack Obama went to Wisconsin to campaign for his opponent, Mary Burke. Bill Clinton campaigned in Wisconsin for Mary Burke. Hillary Clinton spoke out in support of Mary Burke, his opponent. Michelle (My Belle) Obama campaigned in Wisconsin for Mary Burke. Union money poured in to Wisconsin from all over the country.

The Wisconsin governor's race was a national election. Every interest group in the Democrat Party, from the climate change group, to the animal rights group, to the militant extremists of every Democrat coalition, every group aligned in opposition to Scott Walker and never once took him on on the issues. That campaign that they ran was personal. It was the politics of personal destruction and an effort to wipe him out as a viable figure.

I watched his acceptance speech last night and I saw the epitome of class. I saw the epitome of dignity. I saw a guy who was genuinely happy and respectful, and not one shred of bitterness. No evidence of anger whatsoever. The entire Democrat Party power structure went into Wisconsin to take out Scott Walker three times in six years. Scott Walker defeated his opponent, Mary Burke. Scott Walker defeated every national labor union. Scott Walker defeated Bill and Hillary Clinton. Scott Walker defeated Barack and Michelle Obama.

In other words, Scott Walker defeated the A team, not once, not twice, but three times. And he did it with a conservative agenda. Scott Walker has been elected three times to stop Democrats in Wisconsin. You don't get much bluer as a state than Wisconsin used to be. University of Wisconsin is there, Madison. That's where Donna Shalala was the university president, where she came from. It is a blue state like Minnesota is a blue state, like New York is a blue state.

What's happened in Wisconsin doesn't get very much chatter because it's Wisconsin. It's the upper Midwest, no real stars there, and, besides, it's a profound Democrat embarrassment what happened, and so it doesn't get a lot of chatter. But Wisconsin last night was a huge, huge win. And Scott Walker, has, by virtue of his work, created a blueprint that is there for anybody in the Republican Party to follow if they want to experience the same results he has. So I just want to take a few minutes here to congratulate him on his big win.

“Outstanding article. His acceptance speech last night was magnificent.”

Scott Walker is awesome. The people of WI should be very proud today. The libtards have thrown everything at him and he kicks their asses every time.

[DUMBGRUNT]

The only place to see Mrs Mooch in 2016 will be at the feed trough.

And only if paid for by others.

[ryan71]

Uh, take a few minutes to think that logic over.

[prairiebreeze]

This was the one race that I truly bit my nails to the bone over. Precisely because Walker could well be 2016 Presidential run material.

Congratulations, once again, Governor Walker! I’m off to try to find his acceptance speech and watch the video.

[ADSUM]

Walker took out the power of the public unions. The Democrats gave the unions whatever they wanted and Republican administrations in the past just tried to limit the increases.

The union took dues from its members, gave a lot of it to Democrat politicians and the politicans gave back to the union. A vicious circle.

It was stacked against the taxpayer.

Walker took away collective bargaining except for wages and the requirement to belong to the union. The law allowed for school districts to have employees pay for part of their health insurance (just like other taxpayers have to pay for health insurance). Union membership decreased by 50%+

Walker solves problems, is a conservative and gets elected in a Democrat blue state and in the Democrat Milwaukee County (as County Executive).

[ADSUM]

Cruz is a junior Senator with no Executive experience.

Walker has been twice elected in a majority Democrat county as Milwaukee County Executive and solved significant budget problems.

Walker has been elected three times in a blue state with all the Democrat money and big guns thrown against him. The rats came after him big time and he stood firmly as a conservative.

Walker has walked the walk, not just the talk. Cruz is a good guy and I hope he gets more experience and some wins in the Senate or as Governor of Texas. We need the leadership from a Governor’s experience (like Reagan).

I am not sure what you are talking about with regard to the Tea Party. The Tea Party was fully behind Walker in WI. Stop focusing on the small disputes and find an effective leader thaty we can all support or will will get a Christe or a Mc Cain again.

[Mr. K]

NO no no...

Palin/Cruz 2016
Palin/Cruz 2020 re-elect
Cruz/Walker 2024
Cruz/Walker 2028 re-elect
Walker/??? 2032

[Mr. K]

"the Wisconsin State Employees’ Union, complain that their take-home pay has fallen more than 10 percent in recent years, a sign of the union’s greatly diminished power"

A GOVERNMENT employee got a pay cut? I'll need to see some proof of that...

[Kaslin]

Actually instead of the 2016 presidential election we should concentrate to increase our seats in the Senate and House even more. Just imagine what we could do

[Kaslin]

BTTT

[Colonel_Flagg]

Now that Governor Walker has won, he can explain this to social conservatives if he’d like to be President:

[krunkygirl]

Ditto! Love this man.

[freekitty]

He should be our POTUS; not someone like Jeb Bush.

[DLfromthedesert]

I’m looking forward to working on his campaign in southern Arizona.

[sgtyork]

They had to contribute to their health care (new outlay) but they no longer are forced to pay union dues (new savings).

I was glad to see the positive impression Walker made in Iowa and his semi declaration that he is going for the nomination. Also pleased to hear Rush speaking well of him today.
