Scott Walker admits committing voter fraud [View all]

Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker is either a liar or he broke the law:

"I remember, I was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for Ronald Reagan -- limited government, you know, smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense. You knew what you were getting. You knew how a Reagan administration, a Reagan presidency was going to be better for you."

Except for one tiny detail: Scott Walker wasn't old enough to vote when Reagan ran for president ... either time.
