Walker: "We're not going to do things that...bring 80,000 to 100,000 people to the Capitol." Wishful thinking?

Early and often. That's the media plan to remind us that Gov. Scott Walker is a moderate nice guy. His focus, not the legislatures, is jobs...again. How'd that go the first time?

State Journal in the tank for Walker! 
Poor Scott, he's still going to have to go along with the radical right wing legislatures bills on voter ID, vouchers, allocating electoral college votes, reckless mining changes, reckless wolf hunting changes, ban wind energy, abortion changes, dissolving the GAB and instituting a partisan elections board to suppress and intimidate voters.
WSJ: Walker now says building certainty and avoiding divisiveness is such a priority that he will push GOP lawmakers not to bring up certain bills important to conservatives, including some he may support, such as those to end same-day voter registration, restrict immigration, implement so-called "right-to-work," and overhaul the state Government Accountability Board.
The con is set. And that's just part of what's coming in the next two years, not including the way he's turned neighbor against neighbor in this state with what he described as his "divide and conquer" strategy. And that's not really that "polarizing" is it? I wish I were making this stuff up.

Sadly, reporter Mary Spicuzza wrote this piece of propagandist tripe lifted from the Walker campaigns media friendly talking points. Is it she doesn't know that Walker hasn't stopped campaigning for either reelection or a presidential run since taking office?  Can you say "Judith Miller."
"We're not going to do things that are going to bring 80,000 or 100,000 people into the Capitol," Walker told the State Journal in a recent interview. "It's just not going to happen again."

The governor said he has talked to small business owners throughout the state who say "right now, more than anything, they want certainty" so they can try to create jobs.
After two years of Walker handouts, businesses still don’t have “certainty?” Can’t we stop the charade? 
"He's doing his best to impersonate a moderate now," said incoming Senate Minority Leader Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee.
