He has shown repeatedly that he has no problems twisting things around and outright lying, repeatedly, if it fits his agenda and goals. The problem is that Republicans either don't pay attention to it, or are cool with it as long as he keeps attacking unions and others they don't like.

When the left starts attacking the "success" of things like the stimulus bill, ACA and other Democratic bills passed recently, then what they say will hold some value.

You don't like whatever "other bills' are passed recently because they might be Democratic?

As far as the ACA; any presidential candidate, who runs on repealing it, will lose. The ACA is very popular and is working.

ACA was passed to insure EVERY american and cut premiums $2500, it is NOT working. The only way you can claim its a success is if you move the goal post on the definition of success..

Democrats always have to do that, because nothing they promise, comes true.

The majority of Americans do not want the ACA Repealed.

I don't think even a college degree would have been able to turn Walker into a rational person.

I do a daily Bible reading from a website on my computer. I thought todays reading related to this thread.

God told David that He had brought him out from being shepherd to be the King. Some people work years to learn and end up homeless after making huge salaries. Others are blessed with natural God-given ability for the work God has planned for them. Is Scott Walker one of these? I don't know. Sometimes we have to think a little out of the box.

I have a cousin that at the age of three went over to the piano and started playing. Her parents took this that she was talented and sent her for lessons. She plays beautifully still. Some can keep going on the natural ability only. It is even better when training is added to it. I thought Scott Walker had almost finished college but the only learning we do does not have to be recorded in a piece of paper. I learn every day and have for 69 years.

You need a degree to be a commissioned officer in the military.

You can't join the FBI, the CIA or virtually any federal position without a college degree.

Should we remove the college requirement from these positions so we don't have all federal employees with more education than the president? After all, he would be their boss.
No, not having a degree is actually an asset for Walker, because most of his supporters don't have degrees themselves.

This thread isn't about the ACA or Democratic bills. Try to stay on topic.
