Walker is NOT a college dropout, so stop saying that.

[Jackpine Radical]

Marquette University spat him out for repeated cheating.

[Dappleganger]

1. Like a boss!

[HereSince1628]

2. I know he generally got Cs, you have a link to that gem?

I know he left 34 hours short of a degree.

[Buzz Clik]

5. Are we talking about Walker or Al Gore?

:shrug:

I'm not sure this discussion is relevant to anything.

8. Walker...

[HereSince1628]

12. I found this allegation , I can't say that it looks particularly solid

But if it's true it shows the guy believes in the tactics of a political bully.

At the time of that Walker’s non-graduate status came out, I stated that it was my opinion that the fact he failed to graduate was a minor issue, I pointed out that it seemed to me that the more significant issue was why didn’t he graduate.

I had repeatedly heard rumors that his departure was related to an election he entered to become student president. I had heard that he was being his usual negative self and was just being a generally unpleasant person. Because of this, and the fact that when the school paper refused to endorse him, he and his cronies snatched up as many copies of that issue of the paper as they could and destroyed them. Despite of, or maybe because of, his shenanigans, Walker had his butt handed to him in a 80-20 landslide, or so the story went. It was shortly after this that Walker left school.

17. Here's something maybe a little more solid…

http://people645.wordpress.com/2010/08/28/walker-returns-to-the-scene-of-the-crime/

February, 1988, Walker admitted violating Marquette campaign rules during his run for student government president and the Marquette Tribune deemed him “unfit” for office after finding Walker’s campaign guilty of “mudslinging,” and after reports that his campaign was throwing out copies of the paper that contained information damaging to Walker.

Walker left the university not long afterward.

[FBaggins]

21. How on earth did he get elected then?

Puzzled.

[Jackpine Radical]

22. How did Bush get elected after the AWOL story?

iokiyar

[FBaggins]

27. Easy

He ran against the JV.

The polls closed SIGNIFICANTLY after the DUI story... But his lead was too big (if you accept that he actually won)

[HereSince1628]

25. Yeah he was certainly the same bad guy we now know.

It'd be grand to know that he was in fact pushed out of Marquette for the same sort of personality flaws he still shows. But, it's not enough to say for sure.

[Buzz Clik]

3. shhhh! Never break the momentum of a group rant.

:mad:

[sabrina 1]

13. Do you have a list of Walker's accomplishments?

I checked his website and I never saw such a short bio on anyone.

He's tweeting today that he was on 'Fox and Friends' this morning. A few people pointed out that Fox is not a legitimate news org.

A formal education is not necessary to become a good leader, so long as you have the ability to think. I see little evidence of that in anything I've read about him.

He is not fit to be a governor as he has just demonstrated. Anyone who lies to the people and who attempts to destroy their rights, and who threatens to use the NG to silence them should they decide to use their 1st Amendment rights, does not belong in any office where they have access to power.

[Buzz Clik]

15. I don't doubt that he's an idiot, and I despise his politcs.

But, our discussion should focus only on his offensive policies.

No doubt, someone shortly will be trying to justify why they called him a Nazi.

[sabrina 1]

24. No, they're calling him 'Mubarak' ~

A bully, a dictator, a tone deaf supporter of the wealthy who cares nothing about the people, doing the work of those who bought him the Governorship.

26. Ad hominem du jour

[midnight]

4. If this is true, it is the icing on the cake...

[Blue Owl]

Thanks for the clarification

No doubt Scott Walker is a straight "A" student when it comes to lying, cheating, and stealing

[sufrommich]

6. Disqualifying people because they're "college drop outs" is

stupid in it's own right.

[Iris]

9. Except that he's attacking people who have their jobs because they meet a certain criteria

the minimum of which for teacher's is a college degree. It's like he's saying, "I can't get a state job with good benefits because I didn't feel like finishing college, so you can't have one either."

[sufrommich]

19. There are people other than teachers involved in the state

unions in Wisconsin.

[Iris]

20. I realize that. But I still see attacks like this as someone wanting to make sure someone else

doesn't have something the first someone doesn't have.

[Boswell]

11. being a dropout is no big deal

being expelled for cheating kind of is...

[HereSince1628]

14. He is alleged of Rove-like shennanigans because a paper didn't endorse

him for student president.

[SpiralHawk]

7. Oh, you mean Walker has Republicon Family Values...

16. Folks, it's family values, family values... "Family became more important than getting a degree"

From preacher’s kid to front-runner: Scott Walker’s small-town roots led to reputation as fiscal hawk
CLAY BARBOUR

...“In the end, I figured I was in school to get a good job,” he said. “So once I had one, family became more important than getting a degree.”

18. He knocked up his cougar and dropped out

So what about the cheating source? That would be fun to see plastered across the posters in WI
