Scott Walker: We've GOTTA win this one, 'cuz, you know, Reagan died on June 5th. We've just GOTTA!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

This is one sick fuck.

Hours before the polls close in Wisconsin’s recall election, Gov. Scott Walker (R) is seeking to rally supporters -- by reminding them of the anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s death.

“President Reagan died on June 5, 2004,” Walker tweeted early Tuesday evening. “Let’s win one for the Gipper!”

Invoking Reagan on the campaign trail is hardly anything new. But using the anniversary of the former president’s death to encourage voters to go to the polls would seem to be something of an unorthodox tactic in the eleventh hour of a competitive race.

1. Someone should make Ron Reagan Jr. aware of those comments

I'm sure he'd have something to say

2. Hopefully Walker's political career will die as an hommage

3. OMG invoking Reagan! Really? Has he become such an religious-like figure that they are

going to say something B.S. like that?

4. Lemme translate: Walker, "We just gotta steal this election." nt

5. Maybe if the Dems win, they'll finally let

Reagan (and his policies) rest in peace.

6. So he wants St.Ron and Wisconsin to have the same death date?
