Republicans constituents know and love their rich sugar daddy
leaders, and embrace the idea of following those leaders no matter how bad they
fail, because it’s always someone else’s fault anyway. As one average Republican voter
said about Chris Christie on a campaign stop for Gov. Scott Walker:
Phillydotcom: Richard Johnson, 73, of North Hudson, said … "Some think he's a little too liberal,” referring to Christie as "arm-in-arm" with President Obama after Hurricane Sandy. But Johnson didn't blame Christie, who, at the time, praised Obama. "You know where the money is, so you might as well butter up with it," Johnson said.
Says it all doesn't it?
The easily led Republican “stand with Walker” voters are
comfortably numb to Walker’s broken jobs promise and near last place national rankings
for jobs and business start-ups. Relieved of the responsibility to think, Walker’s rabid Borg-like followers have settled on the simple minded gotcha, “cut and paste”
Mary Burke.
The Union Bogeyman: Republicans seem to think liberals,
progressives and Democrats follow leaders in lockstep like they do. Since when do unions consume my every waking moment? Wrong.
It's mentally lazy to settle for that cliché. But it's an effective fan favorite that
was used yesterday by Chris Christie to distract from his and Walker’s policy
failures. Christie's collected 7 credit downgrades so far for N.J.
From Walker and Christie's rhetoric, this is a national campaign! But for voters, like us, we’re just damn concerned about what’s happening to Wisconsin:
Addressing Walker supporters, Christie said the "big government unions" that "tried to come into this state and take this state over in 2012" want to "make an example of [Walker] to other governors around this country who want to do tough things to put the taxpayers first."
Yea, we're sending a message to every GOP governor, you're next. Republicans think in terms of “state takeovers” and “making
examples of,” a governing style we're seeing play out under Walker with black lists and rammed through right wing policy.
You'll notice I had to quote from a Philly newspaper. The media here is still stuck on the phony plagiarism brouhaha.
