Salon.com: Scott Walker is a Giant Fraud...

http://www.salon.com/2015/05/28/scott_walker_is_a_giant_fraud_reagan_worship_bizarre_religious_beliefs_and_the_real_story_of_his_long_crusade_for_2016/

-snip-
When Scott Walker met 91-year-old Nancy Reagan in 2012, he told her he had a personal connection with her late husband: Walker’s recall election had fallen on the anniversary of President Reagan’s death.

Back home in Wisconsin, Walker would try to impress intimate gatherings of Republicans by telling them Nancy Reagan had arranged for Walker to be the first to touch the Reagan inauguration Bible since Reagan’s death. Writing in the Progressive, I debunked the story: it turned out Nancy Reagan never made any special arrangement for Walker, and the Bible in fact has been touched by a number of people since Reagan’s death.

was so important to Walker as he and Reagan didn't follow what was in it anyway.

Trouble is, he is quickly destroying us. Now, they are going after more education, teacher and prevailing wage. We're going to look like the poverty stricken areas in the south.

It amazes me that common folk don't notice that almost identical pieces of legislation are making their way from state to state (thanks to ALEC) .... legislation that wasn't part of a campaign issue/platform, and that nobody complained about prior to the current administration - and their Koch donors - taking office, and that do nothing to help the average voter / taxpayer / worker.
