A lot of folks voting for this man who has no leadership capabilities whatsoever, aya?

2002 Milwaukee County Executive Special Election - Walker 58%

2004 Milwaukee County Executive Re Election - Walker 57%

2008 Milwaukee County Executive Re Election - Walker 59%

2010 Wisconsin Governor Election - Walker 52.2%

2012 Wisconsin Governor Recall Election -Walker 53.1 %

2014 Wisconsin Governor Re Election - Walker 52.3%
So using these metrics, you'd agree that Obama has substantial leadership capabilities as well, correct?

*sigh*

I think you are arguing from an emotional, not a factual basis.

You might want to do more research on the elections.

Wisconsinites did the voting. That is all that matters.

The spread is what counts, in all elections cited, uniformly 6-7% margins. These are not insignificant victory margins.

To refresh your memory, the Governor's election, recall, and re election results.

2010: Walker 52.29% - Barrett 46.52%
2012 Recall: Walker 53.1% - Barrett 46.3%Voter turnout in the election was 57.8 percent, the highest for a gubernatorial election not on a presidential ballot in Wisconsin history. That’s easily the highest turnout in more than 60 years for a nonpresidential ballot:Recall turnout June 5: high in most places, insanely high in some - JSOnline
2014 Re Election: Walker 52.3% - Burke 46.59%

The above is what are called "wide margins"

The rest of your response is even more emotionally charged and written; without support than what I did respond to. I don't want to endanger your mental stability by attempting to respond to your raw emotion.

That is actually a good response on your part, but it is against the TOS to respond. It takes the discussion in a different direction.

In other words, that poster was completely correct in calling you out.

We're simply pointing out your hypocrisy. I know it can be embarrassing for you.

Forbes.com: Scott Walker's plans for University of Wisconsin are Epically Stupid

A nice opinion piece that sums up how many of us are feeling right now about Walker's plans to gut our renowned UW system.
