There has never been a Wisconsin Governor in our memories prior to Wrong Way Walker who so widely disrespected the time, resources and basic interests of so many Wisconsinites, particularly the state's lower-income residents, just to advance his own political career.

Conflationists can claim until the cows come home that every Wisconsin Governor has behaved this one-dimensionally, opportunistically, selfishly, coldly.

But I defy anyone to find in the ten previous administrations - - split about evenly between five Democrats, and Republicans: Nelson, Reynolds, Knowles, Lucey, Schreiber, Dreyfus, Earl, Thompson, McCallum and Doyle - - and that covers roughly the almost half-century I have spent here - - examples and patterns comparable to Walker's self-interested, game-playing, documented false-speaking and overall manipulative arrogance at the expense of so many other people:...

...And it is not an accident that so many of the people and groups which Walker and his legislative allies have targeted are low-income or minority Wisconsinites - - the very people who have fewer resources with which to fight back.

Trust me: Walker and his team know this, factored it into the calculations, and care less about the harm their work - - from official disinterest to calculated media spin and to governmental policy-making - - will leave in their wake.

2. The Democrats of Wisconsin must somehow catch Walker in his dishonest, corrupt

and fraudulent actions, and nail him. This is hard to do, since he practically owns the state
congress and judiciary. How low have we fallen! Thanks to all those sickos in high positions.
It's well nigh impossible to get rid of them.

3. It looks like this is how the 1%'ers/RW'ers roll in other states as well.

It's easy to target the low information, one issue & low income or otherwise vulnerable voter.
They use multiple techniques to disenfranchise potential voters.
