What is th deal with the bad rap of WI Gov. Scott Walker?

Dealt some heavy blows to unions, particularly teacher's unions with some education reforms.

He is who I am rooting for right now.

He's the type of guy this country needs!

The more of a threat someone is to libs the more shrill and desperate their smears get.

Intelligent, objective people love Scott Walker. Like somebody has already said, he reigned in the public sector unions and returned Wisconsin to fiscal stability in the process. Liberal Democrat politicians have been giving away the bank to these unions for years in return for campaign contributions and votes, and the results have been catastrophic for local and state municipalities all over the country.

Governor Scott Walker should be hailed as an American hero for what he has accomplished in Wisconsin. His actions should be used as a blueprint for the rest of us.

Of course, I began this post by saying that intelligent, objective people love what Scott Walker has accomplished. Sadly, that leaves out left-wing nut jobs like Rex and Tuba, as well as 90% of the mainstream media. It's the latter group who are primarily responsible for why Scott Walker's monumental and historic achievements have been predominantly swept under the rug.

The man has a solid record in a purple-blue state. Economy here is booming and a lot of DEMs just can't stand him. Why is this? How much more successful can he be or is it just simply the fact he's a conservative?

He's a union buster.

There's a downside to that for you?

Tuba, those unions were budget busters.

Why am I not surprised that you are clueless regarding the scam that public-sector unions and Democrat politicians have combined to perpetrate on American taxpayers?

For once, why don't you make an effort to understand the depth and complexity of an issue? Of course, I may be giving you too much credit by assuming that you're capable of doing so.

IMO there is no way a person without a college degree will become the President going forward. The media would sink them for it.

Wasn't the major change that employees were not forced into a union... That they could decide whether to join or not

And if I remember right, a ton of public unions membership dropped by 50% after people were allowed to choose whether to be part of it or not.

The responses about unions are spot on.

He exposed and defeated one of the most damaging scams ever perpetrated on the American taxpayer: public unions.

Because his defeat of the unions led to good things for the state over all, the Dems had to open up the entire play book on him to frighten any other politicians so they wouldn't do the same. He had to be made an example.
