To me and others I've talked to--the true story of the Walker prank call is
this--Governor Walker won't talk to the unions who have already made a significant compromise proposal BUT he is willing to spend 20-minutes on the phone with a nutty billionaire contributor (even if he didn't realize it wasn't really him).

I think this story hurts Walker much more than he realizes because it demonstrates to the masses who his priorities.

1. Exactly. Why doesn't every Wisconsin voter have this kind of access?

I guess having billions of dollars trumps, you know, actually living in Wisconsin!

2. That and the disingenuous "I have taken a lot of calls on this bill"
as I said before, he didn't sound like he was talking to any average joe there, he sure THOUGHT he was talking to a Koch.

3. Walker is just another dupe whose strings are pulled by Billionaire Puppetmasters
just like the average Republicons who consume Rush & Fox & Hannity & Beck & BillO -- they are being treated as mindless, malleable SuckerPuppets by the Billionaire Boy-Os.

4. It shows he has no intention of negotiating in good faith with WI workers.

5. I wonder if the masses are hearing it, or with what spin
that corporate media is using, since some of it is owned by Koch, no? Or at least sympathetic to them?

7.  It was 'Koch' who wanted to end the conversation!
Several times, SEVERAL!
'Koch' was trying to wrap it up (after 10-15 min!) with Scotty, but Scotty kept on making his case, kissing ass, and thanking 'Koch'. He wouldn't let him go! Seems he has endless amounts of time for the out of state billionaire.

8. I posted yesterday it's a huge security issue
That's pretty frightening.

What if someone called claiming to be the president and tells Walker there's a national emergency?

BTW, if you saw Rachel last night, she interviewed a doctor who used to work with Dr. Tiller. She's a friend of mine. She says Walker was an operative with Operation Rescue for years. She recognizes him - they stalked her; she knows all of them. I'm thinking you folks in Wisconsin should look into that. OR killed Dr Tiller and they've bombed clinics. What did Walker do?
