Scott Walker's double standard
1) Scott Walker IS a public employee -- his salary, benefits, even housing is paid by taxpayers.

2) He hasn't been governor long enough to have accrued any vacation time.

3) He's going around the country speaking at fundraisers for GOP candidates.

4) Shouldn't there be a stink about this???? What if other public employees did this on work time . . .
what would he say about that?



(thanks Sis)

1. Scott's running for office...his competition is Donald Trump.
and Snotty Scotty probably believes he has 'the credentials' to beat Trump.

2. I asked basically this question the other day
but after seeing him being grilled yesterday in DC, I don't begrudge him at least one of those trips - I'm sure it was enlightening for everyone who watched it, and just downright fun for me! :D

3. I wondered the same thing- Especially re his Florida trip
to raise money for the Rethugs who are up for recall (and who knows what else he was doing in the Banana Republic of BFEE). Is that not some form of campaigning while on the public dime? Though his camp said this trip was paid for by the Walker campaign (*KOCH*), he did this during the week when he's supposed to be working for our STATE.

5. Has He Ever Had A Private Sector Job?
...or has he always been on the public dime?

I'm not gonna bitch about him running around and making a national asshat out of himself. Let the folks behind the Cheddar curtain keep note of this and hopefully offer him early retirement about this time next year. Wheverever he goes he's a reminder to the local unions...a face of the most prominent union buster in the country. He's also a gift to Democrats in fundraising and voter registration.

My hopes is this year will be living hell for him and his cronies...may he not find a place anywhere to hide.
