Showing Original Post only (View all)UPDATE - FALSE ALARM: Integrity: The Child Scott Walker Left Behind [View all]
http://wcmcoop.com/members/integrity-the-child-scott-walker-left-behind/Editor's note: What follows is one woman's account of the Scott Walker she knew at Marquette University. To the extent possible we have verified its accuracy, including the accuracy of details not printed here in order to protect the identities of the people involved. All of the elements are consistent: the principals were at Marquette University when the incidents recounted here allegedly happened, and "Ruth" did have a baby shortly thereafter. However, attempts to reach "Ruth" and her first husband have been unsuccessful, as phone numbers listed for each have been disconnected, and so far we have not been able to independently verify Bernadette's account.
First off, let me be clear, set the stage here Ive had a high level of integrity all the way back to my early days as a kid when I earned the rank of Eagle Scout, and have shown that during my time in the State Assembly, as the County Executive, and now as the Governor of the State of Wisconsin. I will continue to have high integrity long after Im in this position and long after this whole process is complete. Scott Walker
....
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.
This is not an anonymous accusation. Bernadette has given the WCMC permission to use her full name, but we are withholding it for now.

Scott Walker would have to impale babies on spikes to lose support from the enthralled masses.

My concern is hyping an unverified story could damage Barrett. Proceed with caution. n/t

meh, Barrett won't touch this but I will. He has no integrity whether this story is true or not.

That's what the blogger is saying. Bice has never been that reliable a reporter either.
