From the woman who claimed Walker is the father:
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 Im 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.

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

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

(37,648 posts)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.

(37,648 posts)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.

(71,611 posts)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.
