Scott Walker 'War Room' documents released

Source: Pioneer Press in TWin CIties

/snip/

The "War Room" file was taken from Walker's then-work computer is dated in 2006. It plots out issues he wanted to highlight, places he planned to visit, and groups and media on his radar. It's unclear whether Walker wrote the documents or they were prepared by others for him.

But it lists questions that would need to be addressed before Walker would respond, such as "Does it fit the message for the day, week and/or month?" and whether one of his aides could attend and discuss an issue. Listed under the "major events" category are notes about preparing for press conferences and "leak on vetoes," though further explanation isn't included.

The document was part of 14 gigabytes of data released by Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele in response to a judge's order from May to make the information public. That amounts to just 2 percent of the material ordered released as part of the first investigation that ended in 2013. A second investigation into a host of conservative groups and Walker's 2012 recall campaign grew out of that first investigation, but it was halted by a federal judge in May.

But here is the problem, HORRIFIC criminals like Walker, Scott of FL, Brownback, and every single republican politician in AMERICA, they will receive about 47-53% of the vote depending on where they are.

WHY? How is it POSSIBLE a married couple making $35,000 a year working at Walmart and Target could vote for a politician who exists SOLELY TO REWARD THE RICH WHILE PUNISHING EVERYBODY ELSE?

HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will go god damn insane soon if these idiots dont start acting like adults...are they capable of doing that?

5. The opposite is true. They expect to be paid through privatization for jobs they'd never qualify for
