I like him too but it's so early yet, since there will be so many changes with these guys. He could wind up being at the bottom of the list after a while, but he seems a tough, savvy and confident politician and he's survived some bruising elections and recall votes in Wisconsin.

And to think, I had thought you actually possessed elements of being human.

Are you sure you're English, and not just some goofball Arizona Republican that got on the wrong plane somewhere as an infant?

I kind of agree with Shielbh.  Walker is about as vetted as you can be and has done some great things (from a GOP perspective) in Wisconsin.  He sure gave those union thugs a what-for.

What has Walker done that is so evil?  The robot, not the servant of the Empire.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

He once said the Green Bay Packers were only 'sort of' his favorite team.  Actually never mind he could never have been elected in Wisconsin if he said that.

If I were a Democratic strategerist, Scott Walker would be my biggest worry getting any traction.
If I were a Republican strategerist, Jim Webb would be my biggest worry getting any traction.

I have never thought of a teacher as a "thug".  Maybe he means that some of them were black. :hmm:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The main thing Walker has done is survive. That dude had the kitchen sink thrown at him and he's still around.

"Thug" has become the term in right wing circles for black person.  For instance President Obama is often described as a "thug".

"Union Thug" is a completely different thing.

Nah, he's Urkel.
