Scott Walker’s war on Christmas: Screw your kids, give me campaign cash instead

Source: Raw Story

Last week, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s official “campaign team” sent an email to the potential donors in which his deputy, Taylor Palmisano, asked supporters to forgo purchasing presents for their children in lieu of donating to his reelection effort.

“Instead of venturing into the cold this Black Friday,” it began, “stay in and give your children a gift that will keep on giving. This year, we are celebrating the Holiday Season with a Black Friday special that is better than any deal found in stores. Donate $5, $10 or $25 to help Governor Walker get reelected and save your children from a future of double-digit tax increases and billion dollar budget deficits.”

It continued by noting that any “electronics or toys” that parents buy for their children “will undoubtedly be outdated, broken, or lost by the next Holiday Season,” whereas a contribution to the Walker reelection effort will help to create “a Wisconsin as great as the one [Walker] grew up in.”

has a recent column on Walker "the action governor" and touting Walker's book (which has already been dismissed as twisting the facts by reviewers). The column and Walker's book are all about helping him to run for Prez in 2016 "because he and all the Repug governors understand the American people."
Walker's reign has been disastrous for the great state of Wisconsin; it's hard to even imagine what he would do to the country. George Will and Charles Krauthammer are always quoted as the right's smartest pundits; they may have some smarts, they surely do not have any wisdom.
