Say you’re a Republican candidate somewhere and unemployment is awful because the actual heart of our consumer-debt economy has died, forever, and plus you are “small government” so you can’t actually propose anything, but still you need to talk about jobs because in, say, Wisconsin, jobs come first! That is a good slogan, no? Now what to do about the other 67 pages of your 68-page jobs plan? What will you do about that, Wisconsin GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker?

Lest you think this is just some idiotic “temp worker” accidentally setting the font size to GINORMOUS and then letting an evil “local politics blogger” get hold of it, the actual PDF on the actual candidate’s website is named “SCOTT WALKER’S 68-PAGE JOBS PLAN!”, all caps and including the exclamation point. And that’s how it goes, for 68 pages that are the portable-document-format equivalent of having a crazy old person scream in your ear for an hour.

Apparently it is supposed to be a 'hilarious' response to the 67 page real jobs plan put out by his opponent, Democratic candidate Tom Barrett. Because nothing says "I take the plight of the unemployed in my state seriously" like a childish, idiotic, PR stunt. The "I'm a total prick" factor in this Walker guy is just off the charts.

1. Wait. Believe in Wisconsin again? Who stopped believing in Wisconsin?

Why would anyone stop believing in Wisconsin?

Did they just wake up one morning and decide the state didn't exist anymore?

2. Well, yes. We've had a Democratic Governor since 2002

and we go blue in presidential election, so the GOP has not believed in us in some time.

3. Two pages of text in a 10 point Arial font

= 68 pages in 58 point Century Gothic.

Bwahahahahaha! :rofl:

4. As hilarious as it is, it's also terrible.

He's also responsible for by this tasteful gem a few weeks ago that you must have seen, in which he uses boxing gloves in an ad to show he is a fighter. (It's extra special because Barrett was violently assaulted a year ago while coming to the aid of a woman who was being beaten up.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Tqlqq_L-c

It's almost as if Walker has nothing but terrible ideas to run on and must instead rely on tasteless gimmicks for attention!

5. Hey - I went to HS with Paul Ryan - or P.D. as he was known then.

:eyes: He's the clever one who released the budget that did not contain any numbers. Yay Wisconsin republicans. :rofl:

[PeaceNikki]

6. Why P.D.?

Also... eww.

7. he went by his initials instead of Paul because he was a 'Jr".

Now he goes by Paul. Yes -we ran in different crowds. :rofl:

8. Like the 19 page Republican budget that didn't include any numbers

11. Yes, another fine example of Republicans' childish, idiotic stunts.

They don't play well with others. And if CO has her way, they won't be able to play with themselves, either.

9. Here. The Republican's Job Plan, Energy Plan, Health Plan, and Education Plan in just One Word.

10. Now how do you propose getting THAT onto 68 pages?
