Rowen caught this interview with Scott Walker where he bragged about voting for Ronald Reagan!

I remember, I was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for Ronald Reagan — limited government, you know, smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense. You knew what you were getting. You knew how a Reagan administration, a Reagan presidency was going to be better for you.

...

The funny thing is, scott walker was 13 and 17 during the Reagan election years.

...

His birth date is not in dispute. Ronald Reagan was elected to his first term as President on November 4th, 1980 - - just two days after Walker's 13th birthday - - and was re-elected on Nov. 6th, 1984 - - presidential election dates, here. On presidential election day November 6th, 1984, Scott Walker would have been 17 years and four days old.

1. Even worse...

...he very possibly really believes he cast that vote.

[dchill]

2. I think he believes that lyin'

Is better than truthin'.

[Half-Century Man]

4. The difference between lying and truthing

is the newest date on a check.

[CanonRay]

7. It's not a lie if you believe it is true-

George Costanza

[progressoid]

19. Coincidentally, he has the same faulty memory that Reagan had.

[madrchsod]

3. time travel...?

[Botany]

5. the man is a proven liar

I have yet to hear a reasonable explanation as to why Marquette U. kicked his
ass out with only a few credits to go before he graduated and that none of his
credits would transfer. My guess is he was cheating.

[catbyte]

6. Makes sense. After all, Reagan regaled listeners with heroic tales of his WWII exploits--

except Reagan never served in the military & was reliving his old movie roles. Republicans have lived in their own reality for decades now, and I trace everything bad we are experiencing straight back to Reagan. I knew we were in big trouble when he started pandering to Jerry Falwell & that despicable bunch, when he busted unions, pushed trickle down on all of us, and when they called ketchup a vegetable.

9. Actually, Reagan did serve during WWII

He was assigned stateside (California) to make training films --

After the outbreak of war, Reagan, an officer in the Army Reserve, was ordered to active duty in April 1942.[13] Upon the approval of the Army Air Force (AAF), he was transferred to the AAF and was assigned to the First Motion Picture Unit (officially, the 18th AAF Base Unit) in Culver City, California.[14] In January 1943, he was sent to the Provisional Task Force Show Unit of This Is The Army at Burbank, California.[14] He returned to the First Motion Picture Unit after completing this duty and was promoted to Captain.[15] By the end of the war, his units had produced some 400 training films for the AAF[15] including Beyond the Line of Duty, The Rear Gunner, and This is the Army.

Fellow actor and future Best Man at Reagan's wedding, William Holden, also served with Reagan in the AAF's First Motion Picture Unit --

After Columbia Pictures picked up half of his contract, he alternated between starring in several minor pictures for Paramount and Columbia before serving as a 2nd lieutenant in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, where he acted in training films for the First Motion Picture Unit. Beginning in 1950, his career took off when Billy Wilder tapped him to star as the down-at-the-heels screenwriter Joe Gillis, who is taken in by faded silent-screen star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) in Sunset Boulevard, for which Holden earned his first Best Actor Oscar nomination.[4]

I don't believe either one saw action other than on a movie set.

[pangaia]

12. Served what?

[malthaussen]

21. But he did a great interview with Bobby Shaftoe...

... in the Cryptonomicon.

30. That was included in the o. p., that...

he continued doing what he'd done in Hollywood, except his contract was loaned out to the Military. (The First Motion Picture Unit was the name of his "outfit.&quot

If Reagan served in the military during the war, then so did Betty Grable and Jane Russell.

[MisterP]

27. he told the *Israeli Prez* he was at the camps when they were liberated

he was in SoCal the whole while making "How to Bomb Japan" films (BTW that's where the phrase "good German" came from--it meant dissidents, not those who went along--because unlike the Japanese, the Germans weren't an indistinguishable, interchangeable anthill of human-formed drones (not that that stopped Harris))

8. He could have in a mock school election...

and the general ambiguity of Walker when he is talking would leave room for such...

[Blue_Adept]

16. Agreed

I definitely remember those things when I was that age and went through the same where it was just overwhelming for Reagan in the classroom. Not that we actually talked about what was going on in the world at the time. Just the race itself, which was essentially a popularity contest.

[mountain grammy]

10. Oh, now I remember! That's how Reagan won, he got the 13 year olds' vote.

[QuestForSense]

11. Even as a teenager, he was getting a head start in stupid.

[eggplant]

15. I guess cutting head start had one positive effect, then.

[DirtyDawg]

13. What this...

...says is that these bastards - Republicans - 'will lie when the truth will do'...it's in their damn genes...they can't help themselves.

[blackspade]

14. The thing that pisses me off about Walker....

Is that as a person in their late 40s he should know better.
I mean really? Reagan? He should be pissed that Reagan stole his future not lauding him for it.
It just goes to show you that even the stupidest people can get elected with enough money.

Money out of politics now!

[malthaussen]

22. You kidding? Reagan didn't steal Walker's future.

Reagan made Walker's future. It's our future he stole.

-- Mal

[blackspade]

25. I was being rhetorical, but good point.

If he doesn't piss the Kochs off he will make bank.

[JBoy]

17. Inventing "facts".

[spedtr90]

18. Walker's Time Warp - part 2

According to his book, he left college for the birth of his son, 4 years before that child was born.....

[Iwillnevergiveup]

20. Walker showed his true colors

during that mock telephone call with one of the Koch brothers. That was a thing of beauty and is always the first thing that pops into my head when I hear his name.

Wisconsin needs and deserves better!

[hue]

23. This demonstrates the crazy mind governing WI today! Sociopathic then & now! Fantasy > reality.

[Gothmog]

24. Walker is a liar

I doubt that he actually voted in these elections

[on point]

26. I think it is a lie to show how conservative he is.

[riversedge]

28. Walker just wanted to link himself with Ronny.

[lutefisk]

29. Walker's a sociopath. He lies.

He manipulates people. He hurts people and enjoys it. He's dangerous.

[Enthusiast]

31. You know that Republicans are all about lies.

And one of the greatest honors for a Republican is the claim to have voted for Saint Ronald Reagan. They are pathetic, Walker in particular.
