Scott Walker tells Connecticut GOP most Americans on his side
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/208305161.htmlGov. Scott Walker told Connecticut Republicans on Monday that most people back his efforts to remake government and take on public employee unions, according to a story by The Hartford Courant.
"The president and his allies, and I would argue the governor and some of his allies here, measure success in government by how many people are dependent on the government,'' Walker said, repeating a statement he has used frequently.
"We measure success in government by just the opposite: by how many fewer people are dependent on government, not because we kicked them out to the street, not because we pushed then out to the curb, but because we understand that true freedom and prosperity come when we empower people to take control of their own lives and their own destinies."

It's either black or white for Scotty. He doesn't get that the government IS the people. Or at least it is supposed to be.

He thinks we love him...when so many just didn't believe in recalls. They'll vote against him when his term is up, but just didn't think it proper for the recall.
