Don't worry about Palin or Romney in 2012, look out for this guy...

Scott Walker

While everyone is busy worrying about Palin or Romney, this guy will come out of the shadows & will likely be the GOP's 2012 nominee if he is successful. If he wins in Wisconsin, he will be "Reaganized" and admired as the guy who broke those greedy unions reminiscent back to the time when Reagan fired the air traffic controllers. Keep an eye out for him, this fascist is dangerous.

1. This is a guy who sent cops after Dems and wants to strip away workers' rights...

I'm not worried.

2. He has plenty of baggage and juicy scandals - perfect candidate!

3. He's not going to win. The people are awake and they don't like what he has done.

:spank: They see how Republicans rule and they don't like it at all.

4. He takes action & that's the real reason to worry.

The tea bagger nutjob base is going to get really excited about this guy because he's "getting" those liberals by taking direct action. If you think about it, Romney has not done a great to deal damage to the progressive movement, he's tried, but has been largely ineffective. The same goes for Palin, she talks really tough and they like that, but she hasn't taken much in the way of action.

Unions are the most evil entities in the world to the tea baggers. If you polled them and asked them "Which would you rather see accomplished by our leaders, Osama Bin Laden being caught and Iran bombed, or the abolishment of unions in the United States?" I'd be willing to bet money that the majority of those polled would say "Get them unions!"

5. If anything, he's boosting our chances dramatically.

They didn't do enough or take enough time to fully demonize unions before trying to take them out. A failure of patience, planning and execution.

If these (R) goobers try any harder, it could mean the extinction of the Republic potty.

6. They've been tryin ever since b4 Reagan... still can't do it...

... for a good reason! Collective bargaining is crital to the succes of Democracy in an otherwise completely Corporate enviroment! Go Wisconsin! Recall Walker and replace him with Feingold!

7. Welcome to DU, and an excellent suggestion... one of the bestest ever. nt
