Walker who has been much loved by the Koch Bros. I wouldnt vote for him no matter who ran against him

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will address the annual meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in San Diego this July.Walker's speech at ALEC will be a reunion of sorts. Walker was an ALEC member as a state legislator in the 1990s, and the agenda that Walker has championed throughout his long political career has closely tracked the policies promoted by ALEC and its corporate funders, despite public opposition to many of those measures.
More than 200 corporations and a quarter of state legislators belong to ALEC, where corporations vote as equals with state legislators on "model" bills before they are introduced in legislatures to become binding law. The group receives 98 percent of its funding from corporations like Shell, Peabody Energy, and Altria/Philip Morris, and from sources like the Koch family foundations, and many of the "model bills" that it has promoted -- from prison privatization to environmental deregulation -- directly benefit the financial interests of its funders.

Walker Has Been Delivering for ALEC for Decade

It's OK for a politician to take money from Soros and the Tides Foundation, but not ALEC?

Since when?

The only "treasure" that the Koch Bros want anything to do with is the stuff they can put in their pockets.

Poll: Start over on health reform

A Zogby International poll released Tuesday shows that 57 percent of Americans do not like either of the competing health care bills produced by the Senate and House and say Congress should start over, as a group of bipartisan lawmakers head to a health care.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/feb/17/poll-start-over-on-health-reform/

......despite the fact almost 60% were opposed.

Sweet Memories :laugh:


Republicans will hold 31 of the country’s 50 governorships next year – perhaps 32, if late-counted ballots push Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell ahead of his independent challenger, Bill Walker. They will also hold between 67 and 69 of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers – more than at any point in history, according to the Republican State Leadership Committee.

Sweet distant memories for the Democrats. Lost the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014.
