Scott Walker responds to 1,000,000 petitions being submitted for his recall

He sent this email, no shit, this is what he sent. Honest.



Today, Madison Liberal Democrats and the Big Government Union Bosses filed recall petitions in an attempt to turn back the clock to the failed policies of the past, tear down the reforms that are working for taxpayers and return Wisconsin to the days of higher taxes, massive deficits, and less jobs.



"Madison Liberal Democrats and Big Government Union Bosses". Hilarious. My team of Recall Walker volunteers didn't have any Madison residents or Union bosses. I guess we're outliers.

Then he has the gall to ask for money. Maybe the Koch's are running short this month.

But more railing against the left is a requirement for Scooter


In the coming weeks and months, I will need your support in keeping power in the taxpayers’ hands and away from power hungry liberal Democrats and the public employee union bosses who control their agenda.



From my perspective, thanks to all the DUers and other liberal Democrats and union bosses who have helped fight against this tool.

run-on sentence. Such a wordsmith.

Oh, and I'm amazed that ANYBODY still thinks that the way to create jobs is to fire people.

so much so that they want to recall him. I mean, 1 million signatures.... You can try to spin it anyway you like, but that's a lot of pissed off people.

inane nonsense like where he had lunch and no matter how many people asked to pack his bags, he ignored them and never addressed the fact that so many people want him gone. Probably thought the Koch brothers would take care of it for him.

1/5 of the state signed recall petitions.

There is really no spinning that, and if he were a Democrat the "liberal media" would be REALLY crowing about it.
