The "Glory Days" of Scott Walker May Already be Over

These are not the glory days that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was envisioning as he assumed his Napoleonic reign.

Walker, for instance, is openly complaining that the apparently successful effort to initiate recall elections for at least five (now six) Republican state senators who have sided with him, well, that such exercises of democracy are making it difficult for him to govern in a "republic."

That may explain why the Wisconsin legislature - otherwise known, perhaps, as the rubber-stamp body of the autocratic ruler of the state of "Walkerstan" - is going to try to make it extremely difficult for university students to vote. Shrink the pro-union and progressive vote and win elections by making sure that older white Republicans get the privilege of casting a ballot.

Walker is also hoping to rely on the Koch brothers and other wealthy sources, such as the Bradley Foundation in Milwaukee, to keep the public misinformed. As BuzzFlash first reported, the Kochs are putting quite a bankroll into a Facebook campaign to recruit right-wing advocates for "conservative think tanks" around the nation.

2. Will Walker go the Gingrich route?

"...such exercises of democracy are making it difficult for him to govern in a 'republic.'"

As I recall, Newt's extreme patriotism led him to cheat on his wife. Will Scott follow in Newt's footsteps?

Scott, you're seeing another woman?
Sorry, Honey, it's just my burning desire to govern in a republic is being thwarted by those evil Democrats! And that drove me into the arms of another woman! You understand, don't you...?

Repubs...always blaming someone else for their own failures...

3. Dictator Walker should suffer the fate of all dictators

4. The oligarchs take care of their own . . .

It is the secret of their strength. Walker has done as he was told. He will be rewarded no matter what happens to him politically.
