capper over at folkbum’s rambles and rants has a great writeup on all the promises
Of all the promises made by Scott Walker, it seems to me this promise not to serve more than one full term is the most important, and not just because I’d like to see him out of office, but because it goes to the heart of Scott Walker’s integrity. Sure, he could argue he couldn’t achieve some of his other promises due to outside forces – such as the County Board – but his promise not to serve more than one full term is something Scott Walker has full control over. As such, Scott Walker should live up to his word and not seek another term, because in doing so he’s exposed himself as a liar who simply cannot be trusted.
I hope Lena Taylor makes a point to bring up Walker’s promise not to serve more than one full term, because I’d love to hear his explanation for why he’s chosen to break a promise he made to the voters of Milwaukee County in 2002.
EDIT: If I had read the All Politics Watch blog, I would have noticed Lena Taylor’s already fired a shot across the bow, saying Walker Walker broke a 2002 campaign promise when he announced he’ll seek a second full term in office next year.
Good catch on the All Politics Blog. I missed that one. I like how Walker, the publicity hound, is suddenly “not available for comment.”
I don’t like the omen that MSJ doesn’t even trust their own reporters and are asking for other proof. Is there any doubt how that so-called “liberal rag” will be endorsing in the spring.
If my comments ever show up, I posted a link to the MJS’s own article listing the campaign promises Scott Walker made during the 2002 campaign. I’d think that would be proof enough.
