Freeper "freekitty" SOLVES "No Suitable GOP Presidential Candidate" gridlock, suggests SCOTT WALKER

From the freeper thread:

Governor Of The Year – Scott Walker
Governor's Journal ^ | 122311 | GoJo Staff
Posted on Fri Dec 23 2011 11:40:33 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) by Fred

(Madison, WI) – In 2011, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker(R) served as the embodiment of the state by state battle to balance budgets and the best symbol of the struggle between the two political parties about how best to meet those fiscal challenges. His first year will extend well into his second year, quite likely culminating in a recall election to remove him from office.

He has dominated the political debate on both sides. Defining the issues. He is cited by both Democrats and Republicans as the best of example of what is wrong, or what is right with a conservative approach to government. Although they will never admit it, many Democratic governors are different from Walker only in a matter of degrees.

Nearly every governor, regardless of party, began the year saying the current path of expensive pension and benefit packages for public employees is unsustainable. The way the issue exploded in Wisconsin is as much a function of the legal and legislative tools at Walker’s disposal as it is about the specific route he chose to take.

This is why Governors Journal has selected Scott Walker as the 2011 Governor of the Year.

can't get out of here fast enough in my opinion! He's caused so much damage in so little time, it's amazing. And he's a complete dithering idiot! Imagine if he were smart AND willfully evil.

His telephone discussion with "David Koch", his statewide pay-off appointments to state jobs, and his illegal campaign activities would become a national embarresment and an excellant educational tool on the corruption of politics in our land of equality.
