It has nothing to do with feelings or emotions - it's just an observation. And I don't think it's Hillary it's having yet another Democrat pushing primarily the same destructive programs and policies that Obama has pushed. But then again, if the Senate and House go GOP, it really doesn't matter much if Hillary or any other Democrat gets in.
:agree: They have tried this before - and failed. The voters seem to like him, and that's what counts! :thumbs:

The election will go the way they usually do - against the party in power.2017 will see a Republican President, and 2019 will see a Democratic Congress.
But it is partially emotion. All you have to do to a Repub is say the name "Hillary Clinton" and they run around screaming. Kind of like Dems with "Dick Cheney."
It was tried before when there wasn't a corrpution allegation. I think it will have an affect, it's just a question of how much and then will it be enough?
Why him? What engenders these attacks on him? I can think of others that should be looked at, but get a pass. Is it just that he belongs to the "wrong" party? I recall how the demonstrators trashed the Court House and grounds in protest of his budget cuts, which were necessary for fiscal soundness!

You must misunderstand me, I know this is all political, however, it's like speeding. Even though everyone else is speeding too, when you get caught you really don't have a leg to stand on.
And since he is a public figure, that makes him more of a target. People don't really care when their neighbor is cheating on their spouse, but when a candidate does it then it becomes headline news.
I am in no way saying this is right (or even if he is guilty, that is for the investigation to find out), only acknowledging why it is happening. It is political, which is why public figures have their lives dragged through by the media and people.
And yet they will pay millions to win an election, so they have the opportunity to be demonized! Very strange when you think about it ... :lol:
I read through this thread, and have a question.
Has Scott Walker actually been charged with anything?
I see people ready to send him to prison,
but cannot find if charges have been filed.
There is smoking gun paperwork which catches Walker dead to rights.
Wis. Stat. § 11.10 said:"Any committee which is organized or acts with the cooperation of or upon consultation with a candidate or agent or authorized committee of a candidate, or which acts in concert with or at the request or suggestion of a candidate or agent or authorized committee of a candidate is deemed a subcommittee of the candidate's personal campaign committee."
Yup. And in 2020 I will win a bazillion dollars for doing absolutely nothing.
That's just the pattern. 8 years of one party in the WH, and we switch because everybody's sick of it. Only twice in the past 70 years has it gone otherwise (Truman and Bush I). 2016 election will flip the WH, I'm 98% certain of that.
What investigation isn't? Usually the lack of an investigation is just as political.
I think this may torpedo any Presidential aspirations. It is amusing how all the conservatives automatically say it's a witch hunt.
"All" the conservatives call it a witch hunt. I didn't. I said it was politically motivated, which you agree is the case. That isn't necessarily a witch hunt.
True. You're right. It could be political and real (in other words, he really did do something wrong, AND Dems want to get him).

This is a major political bombshell. Looks like Governor Walker, who is considering a presidential run in 2016, is about to be indicted for corruption. But let me put a little wrinkle in this:
What is a felony in Wisconsin is perfectly legal in many other states, which begs the question..... Does Walker really deserve to go to prison over this? And this begs yet another question.... Is this investigation politically motivated?
Discussion?
Article is here.
Looks like the DA had to back down...
Wisconsin prosecutor backtracks: Scott Walker ‘not a target’ of investigation « Hot Air
On Thursday, special prosecutor Francis Schmitz had his lawyer, Randall D. Crocker, say in a statement that he “has made no conclusions as to whether there is sufficient evidence to charge anyone with a crime.”
“At the time the investigation was halted, Gov. Walker was not a target of the investigation,” Crocker said. “At no time has he been served with a subpoena.”
Crocker said the documents that were made public were never designed to be released and outlined a prosecutor’s theory.
“In recent days, the documents and the allegations contained within have received significant media coverage,” said Crocker. “Contained in the documents is a reference to the request for production of documents that relates to an alleged criminal scheme. Gov. Walker’s name was included in this reference.
"While these documents outlined the prosecutor’s legal theory, they did not establish the existence of a crime; rather, they were arguments in support of further investigation to determine if criminal charges against any person or entity are warranted.”
This lawsuit is so transparent. The left in WI poured their heart and soul into the recall campaign and got beaten and embarrassed when Walker won the recall election. They're pissed off and are not going to let it go until they can somehow hurt Scott Walker. This is the essence of the modern American left, they are petty, fascist and vindictive to the core.
The left is always talking about how abortion is settled law and how Obama won the election so those who don't like him must deal with it yet when the shoe is on the other foot the left will try to subvert the democratic process and the will of the people at the drop of hat. The left did not respect either election in WI, the state senators actually ran away to IL because they could not get their way in the WI state legisltaure. Does everyone remember that? Can you imagine if the Republicans in Congress had fled to Canada to stop Obamacare from being passed.
Each new day in America brings forth more and more evidence of just what despicable, facsist, hypocritical, vile, bottom feeding, scum sucking pigs the leftists in this country are.
