Let's Go Murphys!
When Scott recently took to the stage at the Iowa Freedom Summit to speak in front of many key members of the Republican party, he did so to the tune of Dropkick Murphys cover of the Woody Guthrie song Im Shipping Up to Boston, reported conservative news source Twitchy. Walker apparently didnt realize that the Dropkick Murphys are assertively pro-union an interest unlikely to find any common ground with the governor. Walker has become a national whipping boy for the anti-union cause, previously reported Inquisitr.

(429 posts)I hope Walker gets whats coming to him....an embarrassing defeat that kicks him out of politics forever!!! He's the antithesis of what a politician should be. He does everything in his power to screw over every single person he can. What a waste of a life. I hope he becomes homeless someday and he just keeps getting kicked in the face and left to freeze in those harsh Wisconsin winters. He deserves nothing less.

(4,450 posts)Walker (and his media friends) love to play the victim. Stories about specific, graphic threats he supposedly received during the Madison protests are a central component in his stump speech.

The Dropkicks speak and rock for me!

(4,450 posts)I love them even more now. I was in Boston last summer and thought about how much things have changed here and how in some ways I'd probably fit in better out there now.

(4,450 posts)I saw Husker Du for the first time as a freshman in college. Which, of course, means that I am much, much older than you. Bob Mould is still doing great things, live and in the studio.
