Scott "Dead Man Walking" Walker throws Mitt Romney under a bus

Scott Walker breaks from Romney, says teachers and firefighters aren’t ‘big government’ | On Friday, Mitt Romney said the message of the recall election in Wisconsin was that Americans didn’t want “more firemen, more policemen, more teachers.” Appearing on CBS’ Face The Nation today, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said he disagreed with Romney, saying teachers and firefighters aren’t “what I think of when I think of big government.”

Romney laid down under the bus when he spoke so disparagingly of teachers, firemen, and policemen. Walker is trying to save him.

Walker's creating space between himself and Willard. Trying to distinguish himself.

The Teabaggers will lick it up because they love Him anyway.

Scott Walker 2016. It's gonna happen. Unless he ends up in prison, as it should be.
