Scott Walker lies about emails of support.

[RandySF]

MADISON, Wis. — Seeking a way to counter a growing protest movement, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker cited his email, confidently declaring that most people writing his office had urged him to eliminate nearly all union rights for state workers.

But an Associated Press analysis of the emails shows that, for close to a week, messages in Walker's inbox were running roughly 2-to-1 against his plans. The tide did not turn in his favor until shortly after desperate Democrats fled the state to stop a vote they knew they would lose.

The AP analyzed more than 26,000 emails sent to Walker from the time he formally announced his plans until he first mentioned the emails in public – a span of seven days.

During that time, the overall tally ran 55 percent in support, 44 percent against. In the weeks since, Walker has continued to receive tens of thousands of emails on the issue.

1. Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but the headline says he lied

about 'most' emails supporting him. But the article says 55%-44% support him. That seems like 'most' to me?

Maybe he needs to hear from us. I've left him a few messages on Twitter where people can actually see how much support he's getting. My estimate is that his supporters on Twitter decreased the more time passed. As time passed, most were basically telling him to step down before he's thrown out. But, that's not a scientific assessment by any means. The polls show him losing support, but not as much as I would have expected considering what a moron he has shown himself to be.

3. Read the second sentence.

4. Yes, I have read it. But why would the 'tide turn in his favor'

AFTER the Democrats fled? I thought most people were with them on that.

However, I'd like to see the recent emails.

9. The article makes it seem that during the growing protest movement a few

weeks ago Walker explained his actions by the positive emails he was getting when, at that time, the negative outweighed the positive. Though the tide may have turned at some point, he was lying at the time.

That's how I read it. But it is confusing, so who knows if that was the author's intent or what really happened.

8. It's OK to lie
