3. Walker calls unions "special interests", but his corporate backers aren't special interest.

Every time a Tea Bagger uses the term "special interest", I would love to hear a mic check that quickly explains who that special interest actually is. It would sound something like this:

Walker: I kicked out the special interest that had a stranglehold on our state.
Mic Check: Special interests equal teachers and state employee unions.
Barret: Walker is beholden to special interests, and he will not veto Right to Work legislation.
Mic Check: Special interests equal large corporations, Koch brothers, millionaires and billionaires.
