WHAT DOES WISCONSIN SEE IN SCOTT WALKER?

One consistent set of characters on the Tim and Eric Awesome Show are the characters Carol and Mr. Henderson. Carol is an office secretary, and Mr. Henderson is her abusive boss. Carol always finds herself somehow stimulated by Dan's constant verbal abuse and berating her for everything from her weight, the way she smells, her lack of fashion and the way she talks. Carol not only continues to work for Dan, but is actually turned on by his constant bullying and abuse. The same comparison could be made for the half of Wisconsin that still wholeheartedly supports Gov. Scott Walker

After seeing this freak in the debate from the other night, I equate him on the same level as I would a habitual scamming auto repair goon. "Yeah, well I looked at it and fixed it. Took me two days. Doesn't really work, but I fixed it".

It's the same the world over.

Wi conservatives want revenge most of all. They hate people like me who do not agree with them.

(especially in the heavily Catholic fundamentalist-type groups) who only care about controlling women's bodies and NOT helping the poor.

to this - "Yeah, well I looked at it and fixed it. Took me two days. Doesn't really work, but I fixed it". AND I'M GOING TO CHARGE YOU AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT TO (NOT) FIX IT!

And btw - it's your fault it broke anyway because you're a (pick one):

1. Union Thug;
2. Woman;
3. Liberal,
4. Democrat
5. Minority,
6. Poor
7. any combination of the above;
8. especially if you're all of the above.

7. Just read a New York Times Magazine article on Wisconsin

The comments following the article were telling.
--Of course Walker is ahead. He's getting those greedy unions under control
--Public sector workers destroyed our budget
--Finally conservatives have control of an out-of-control liberal spending state
--NY Times is left-wing newspaper (several times brought up)
--How dare you question a northern Wisconsin mining project

There were paragraphs and paragraphs of hate directed at the public sector and their "greed" and the New York Times' LIE-brul attitude.

Those are Scott's supporters. Apparently none of them went to a public school or had a good teacher or had their streets plowed or hunted or fished on public lands much less ever needed a firefighter, paramedic, or police officer. And I guess none of them ever drive on public roads.

Apparently they are okay with lying and bullying and being 50 of 50 in job creation in the last year.

Walker is out spending the Democratic Candidate 25 to 1.

That propaganda blitz is the difference. People believe these TV and radio ads.

Propaganda works!
