| Gov. Scott Walker (nymag.com) |
What the hell? Now we have Wisconsin governor and GOP darling Scott Walker claiming that if he could take on public employees unions then he certainly can take on ISIS. As prospective Republican Presidential candidates make their cases to the right wing CPAC gathering, we see how far politicians are willing to bend to the will of the Tea Party wing. It is once again all about winning a contest that fails to reflect the will of most voters: the Iowa caucuses. In the past, these caucuses have thankfully not been launching pads for successful GOP primary candidates. Pat Robertson and Michelle Bachmann come to mind. This early competition for the hearts and minds of the far right has repeatedly overheated to the point where the so-called Republican establishment has stepped in and used its power of the purse to clean up the mess and anoint a candidate that nobody can get too excited about.
Governor Walker refuses to even acknowledge evolution or weigh in on Putin-loving Rudy Giuliani's outrageous assertions about President Obama's love of America. This shill for the Koch brothers' billions is yet another distraction in the path to the presidency. We know we are guaranteed a very regressive period in American history if these clowns who pander to an out of touch minority suck up all the oxygen in the GOP primary process.
