From KOS - Walker got college GF Pregnant

The roommate of Scott Walker's college girlfriend has come forward stating that Walker got his girlfriend pregnant while at Marquette.



From the woman who claimed Walker is the father:

Why did Bernadette come forward with this story now?
Dr. Bernadette Gillick is now a college professor at a major Midwestern university. Through her attorney, Mike Fargione, she issued a statement: “It is rare that you will ever hear from me on issues of politics, as I am a firm believer that most politics are local and can be as local as our own kitchen tables. But I’m asking you to consider what I have to share …”

Over the phone, Bernadette recounted how she watched a recent televised debate between Scott Walker and Tom Barrett. As he talked about his “lifelong integrity” her anger grew. This was a man who had abandoned his pregnant young girlfriend — completely turned his back on her at the most fragile point in her life. She notes his “now-convenient ‘pro-life’ proclamations” after burying his past “indiscretion.” Says Bernadette, “I cannot listen to his lies anymore … I cannot dream of how anyone would support such an evil man. Once a man shows that he has no soul, there is nothing more.”

I wonder why she didn't mention it during the original governor's race.

He no doubt expressed those same views about "lifelong integrity" and made those same "pro-life proclamations" then.

When you have to go around telling people how moral you are, usually the opposite is true.

How many times have we said, "Thou protesteth too much!"?

If this is true, which I have to believe it is, goodbye Walker.

Lots of guys' gfs get pregnant. What matters is how the guys handle it. It shows character, morality, concern for offspring, family values.

But unless Walker didn't build his career on family values, I don't see that it'll affect his voters much. His voters are all about money, I think.

without asking what she was going to do, he was tacitly approving an abortion, or OTOH, saying he didn't care what happened to his child, if she gave birth. Truly a scum bag response. She wasn't a prostitute, after all. She was his girlfriend.

Walker is pathological ... without any trace of a conscience or integrity. He lies with the ease of long practice and a complete abandon. There's something VERY seriously wrong with the man ... the predation and exploitation seem to indicate sociopathic traits.
