My other title was a little long: "Authoritarian Walker Brags about standing up to Unions, Bully tactics; after all, it’s easy when you have the majority."
He was the big man in town.
AP: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is holding up his confrontation with labor unions over collective bargaining as the bold-strokes thinking Republicans shouldn't be afraid to pursue before and after the coming election.
Scott “little big man” Walker. He’s riding the ego trip, taunting the electorate back in his home state.
Walker spoke Friday to at least 1,000 Republicans from 12 Midwestern states gathered in Minnesota … He says despite last winter's acrimony in Madison, Republicans have withstood a larger push by Democrats and labor unions to punish them for law changes he's engineered.
Well, he did lose two state senators in Republican districts. But never mind. Real political "leaders" do things their actual bosses, the American people, don’t want them to do. Leaders know that tough love, and doing what’s best for us, is their thankless job.
Denial is big too. While state Republican legislators guaranteed their reelection with outlandish redistricting and strict, disenfranchising voter ID laws, Walker missed the irony in the following ballsy statement below:
The freshman governor implored Republicans to fight for candidates willing to think more about "the next generation than it is to think about the next election."
