Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker is either a liar or he broke the law:
Except for one tiny detail: Scott Walker wasn't old enough to vote when Reagan ran for president ... either time.

(45,274 posts)He says he "had just become a teenager," and the vote may have been cast a little straw poll in school or something. I remember such mock-elections occurring even in my grade school years.

Walker's probably referring to a similar experience, but in his case he's dumb enough to believe his vote was actually counted!

(21,475 posts)I am certain that was the voting he was referring to. Even he knows when you first become a teenager you are not old enough to vote officially. We need to start using some common sense so we all don't look like idiots.
