2011 Wisconsin protests [4 month union siege on the Wisconsin State Capital - and aftermath]
Scott Walker's site: Our American Revival
It’s not hard to see how the Democrats will go after Walker; play up his anti-unionism in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan and use his campaigns against teachers, his cutting the Wisconsin university budget and even his lack of a degree as evidence he’s anti-education in the rest of the country. But I don’t think that Walker will be the pushover they seem to think he’ll be. Assuming he gets the nomination to begin with; there’s a way to go before the convention in 2016.
He is far and away better than Jeb Bush who had to use the crutch of Faux News’ Hannity at the Republican Conference.
It was like Hannity was playing the only debate moderator for Jebs’ presidential run. Faux News is running scared of Scott Walker or ANY real Conservative.
No Democrat or MSM type would ever say such a thing about a Republican unless they were afraid of him. Rolling Stone wants the Republicans to lose badly and their opinions reflect that fact.
In case you are too young too remember this is almost exactly the kind of rhetoric they used against Ronald Reagan. Reagan was supposed to be easy for the Democrats to beat. The Republicans needed to nominate a liberal or a moderate if they were to have a chance to win.
And Republicans picked Gerald Ford over Reagan in 1976 and very nearly picked another liberal in 1980 until Reagan sacked his professional campaign people and took over for himself.
Scott Walker is looking better and better.
@mtaibbi LOL, Walker HAS been kicking lib ass for 4 years now..IN A BLUE STATE. dummy
Next: Walker will be accused of belonging to a fraternity that raped a co-ed at the U of VA.
It's still a long way to November 2016, but I think the liberals are jumping the shark a little early in defaming Walker, considering how he has kicked their asses in Wisconsin, three times now.
Rolling Stones pulls out the Long Knives.
Taibbi is an idiot! So targeting Walker brings him back in the limelight he does not deserve to have.
Far left magazine is trying to tell Republicans which candidates would be bad for them. Yeah we should really listen to that
If Scott was a gift to the left these liars wouldn’t be saying a word.
Rolling stone hates us. And they’ve never met the democrat who wasn’t ‘better’.
So their ‘concern’ is a lie - the story that they’re thrilled with the gift is a lie and they’re a lie.
Eff ‘em.
I really wish I could ask this pos a simple question: if the modern Democrat Party is set up to beat guy’s like Walker, why weren’t they able to, in a deep Blue state, after being given three chances in the last four years?
Hey, Matt...I learned how to counteract reverse psychology when I was like 6.
Bingo.
If Rolling Stone hates the guy, you KNOW he is doing something right.
How many Republicans read this tired old Leftist dreck? Next to zero, I’d guess. Poor devils trying to be relevant when they are only a step ahead of the Grim Reaper.
re: “He’s exactly the kind of politician the modern Democratic Party is set up to beat....”
If this liberal really believed that, why say anything? Why give warning? That’s kind of stupid. Saying it after Walker is trounced (hypothetically) after the election would be the proper time to mention it.
It’s like others have said, the left will tell you who they fear the most.
lol - typical. The left will praise those they think they can beat and demonize those they don’t. It’s just become too transparent.
LOL! Oh, Matt, buddy...take a look in the mirror some time. Self-parody is the cruelest parody of all.
Still smoking crack at the Rolling Stone I see.
The left is so used to picking our candidates they’re melting down.
Usually, once the Obama party starts criticizing our guys, we just politely dump them. Not this time, guys. After 2012, lessons learned on your hype. We’ll pick our own candidate this time.
Speaking of which, do conservatives have anyone to take McCain down in 2016? He’s taking a page from Graham’s book and putting in a couple of years prep.
