Scott Walker admits committing voter fraud

[kpete]

Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker is either a liar or he broke the law:

"I remember, I was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for Ronald Reagan -- limited government, you know, smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense. You knew what you were getting. You knew how a Reagan administration, a Reagan presidency was going to be better for you."

Except for one tiny detail: Scott Walker wasn't old enough to vote when Reagan ran for president ... either time.

1. Just another liar looking to capitalize on dead Ronnie Raygun.

[alsame]

2. Just a liar like the

rest of the GOP. I guess he's also assuming that the rest of us are too stupid to do math.

[gopiscrap]

3. He's either a fucking dumbass too stupid to be governor

or he needs to be federally indicted for voter fraud.

4. Whoops!

[SomethingFishy]

5. "You knew how a Reagan administration, a Reagan presidency was going to be better for you."

Yeah.. unless you count that whole Iran/Contra thing.. or the "Ketchup is a vegetable" thing.. or the "trees cause pollution" thing, or the insane tax cuts on the wealthy, the invention of the "Welfare Queen", the invasion of Grenada, the savings and loan scandal, and the Alzheimer's... other than that yeah things were just awesome..

6. And the fact that he couldn't differentiate between his movie roles and real life.

17. Don't forget about the consulting with psychics thing, too! n/t

7. This one has circulated in the past, and is really not the stuff of which fraud cases are made.

He says he "had just become a teenager," and the vote may have been cast a little straw poll in school or something. I remember such mock-elections occurring even in my grade school years.

8. and NO ONE knew what the hell they/we were getting!

Iran/Contra??? Largest deficit ever???

[DFW]

9. Naaah, he just lied. Again. He does that. A lot.

Maybe now Wisconsin Republicans will figure it out.

But I doubt it.

10. To be fair, this could actually be a slip of the tongue.

I've said before that I voted for Al Gore when I meant to say I supported him--I was 15 when he ran for President.

11. Hey, I voted for McGovern in 1972

and I was only in first grade! By the way, he beat Nixon in our school's election.

Walker's probably referring to a similar experience, but in his case he's dumb enough to believe his vote was actually counted!

[Blue Owl]

12. Vote early!

Yeah, early....

[Spitfire of ATJ]

13. Next he will claim to be a Vietnam Vet....

...or a double aught spy...

[Bandit]

14. Schools usually have straw polls that let each student cast a ballot

I am certain that was the voting he was referring to. Even he knows when you first become a teenager you are not old enough to vote officially. We need to start using some common sense so we all don't look like idiots.

[AgingAmerican]

15. He is a liar

All the libertarian types are liars. IT's their whole world.

[Iggo]

16. He's making it up as he goes.

Or as my dear old mom would say, "He's a fucking liar."

[arthritisR_US]

18. If their mouth is open they're lying. nt

[TheMathieu]

19. He has gotten away with too much for far too long. nt

[IAmKirak]

20. His statement, like the Reagan legacy, is a lie.

[Gothmog]

21. Walker is an idiot and a liar

Walker may be the GOP nominee in 2016 unless he is defeated in 2014.
