GOP WI Governor: Only reason Dems won in state election was because they had more votes

[Bluebear]

He's a bit of an airhead, isn't he. Check out how new GOP heartthrob Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, tried to downplay Democratic gains in state elections earlier this week:

While Walker downplayed the significance of Tuesday's elections on Wednesday, saying they were skewed by exceptional turnout in the liberal cities of Madison and Milwaukee, Democrats warned they were only a sign of what's to come.

Walker is saying that the only reason Democrats did so well was because they got more votes, so we shouldn't really count this as a Democratic electoral victory. Huh?

Not the brightest wheel of cheddar, is he.

1. I believe it should be considered

A mandate from the American People.

2. Which singlehandedly proves that only republicans should be allowed to vote

3. Well...

I would be willing to bet that it was not "just" democrats that turned out and voted "against" Walker, but also independents and even "REPUBLICANS"! Taking down the middle class, going after teachers, firemen, police, nurses, and children was a huge mistake on Walkers part, and he pissed off a LOT of republicans who are in those groups! I think a lot of people who voted republican in the past are fed up with Walker, and maybe even the whole republican party!

12. I'm still just flabbergasted that teachers are now the bad people. n/t.

4. Unfortunately, at this moment we apparently do not have more votes.

8. He's a smart guy, isn't he?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. Just wait until HE is on the ballot!!!

:popcorn:

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Question: When will that be? Do you recall?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. I don't live in Wisconsin

but I think I remember hearing here that he's got to be in office at least a year before a recall can be launched- and that's assuming, of course, enough signatures are collected (which they probably will be).

7. He probably means they voted more than once and often

Hahahahaha!

[Critters2]

9. He does know that he's the governor of Madison and Milwaukee, along with the rest of the state,

doesn't he? Or doesn't he?

[Bluebear]

10. No. Just as Bush was only President of "the Heartland".

The 'liberal coasts' only got his disdain.

[lasttrip]

11. thank you captain obvious!

:dunce:

[damntexdem]

13. Actually, it's a very astute statement:

the Dems only won because they had enough more votes to offset GOP cheating.

[Lugnut]

16. Not the sharpest pencil in the cup, is he?

Oy. :rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

17. What did KO say just a couple of days ago about how so many

conservatives are morons these days? :evilgrin:

[Drahthaardogs]

18. Goddamn Gump! That is the best answer I have ever heard!

You must be a fucking genius!
