Walker blames phantom D.C. pressure on Democrats during Recall, for opposition to mining bills environmental destruction.

Did you know that Washington D.C. pressured Wisconsin Democratic Senators to oppose the mining bill because Scott Walker wanted it? Who knew? Could somebody forward the D.C. memo to me.

Holy crap, this is Walker's whacked out conspiracy theory. To him, Democrats weren't concerned with the mining bills total disregard for the environment, they were taking orders for D.C. and getting even with Walker during the recall election.

We've got a big problem folks. I've got to admit, even I didn't think he was this crazy.

A delusional Walker unconsciously exposed what really happens within the Republican Party; how they buckle under party edicts, and play games for political power. They're not trying to make good policy. It's one-upsmanship, nothing more.

jsonline: In Green Bay Wednesday, Walker said at Valley Plating and Fabricating that last year's mining bill failed because of the atmosphere of recall politics.

"The environmental provisions had next to nothing to do with the passage of the bill," Walker said at the manufacturer, according to the Green Bay Press Gazette.

"I think it was entirely politics. Fourteen senators were under tremendous pressure from Washington, D.C., forces not to pass legislation that would create jobs," Walker said.

What Walker is peddling is pure in-your-face paranoia, a conspiracy theory so partisan that his "nice guy dictator" image is no longer enough to keep pace with Michigan's authoritarian Gov. Rick Snyder.

News flash to Walker, Democrats actually do care about the state's environment, tourism, and clean water. Who would have thought:

Many Democrats and environmentalists were sharply critical of the Republican-backed bill for changes that they said would weaken regulations affecting groundwater, streams and rivers and wetlands, and for limiting public input on environmental aspects of a potential mine.
