Salon.com: Scott Walker is a Giant Fraud..

http://www.salon.com/2015/05/28/scott_walker_is_a_giant_fraud_reagan_worship_bizarre_religious_beliefs_and_the_real_story_of_his_long_crusade_for_2016/


-snip-
When Scott Walker met 91-year-old Nancy Reagan in 2012, he told her he had a personal connection with her late husband: Walker’s recall election had fallen on the anniversary of President Reagan’s death.

Back home in Wisconsin, Walker would try to impress intimate gatherings of Republicans by telling them Nancy Reagan had arranged for Walker to be the first to touch the Reagan inauguration Bible since Reagan’s death. Writing in the Progressive, I debunked the story: it turned out Nancy Reagan never made any special arrangement for Walker, and the Bible in fact has been touched by a number of people since Reagan’s death.

No wonder he hates educators (and by extension, education in general) so much.

Given his druthers -- and Koch orders -- Walker would create a nation of undereducated Deltas ("Brave New World" worker bees).

I don't want to come off as holier-than-thou but both the reelection of walker and of bush and of reagan (not to mention the original election) and of harper in canada is just the right vs the left with non voters weakening the left....Vote! and stop reaching for perfection!
