Just like your typical Republican. Urges others to take responsibility and pay their way because he does it, BUT LIES AND DOESN'T DO IT.

Like this is the first, last and only politician that has? The House, The Senate and The White House has a long history of being occupied by people that have done this.

""As governor, I'll pay my share toward my retirement because everyone should pay their own way, including me," Walker said during the campaign."

This is it? This is your big complaint? I hope you got more. According to the article this is what he said. He didn't say anything about when he'd start paying. The law said start paying in august which he apparently did. Sad the walker haters have to drum up a whole article about nothing but not surprising. Better go protest. Or maybe the dems will run off to Illinois agains and cry over the phone to the media.

I remember another politician talking about a transparent administration and unemployment not going above 8%. That ring any bells with you?

So... where's the "broken" campaign promise?

Looks like there really isn't one.

Sorry, while I don't like Walker, this is not something to criticize him on. Long as across the board includes him, I have no issue with it, if he pays when the law goes into effect, along with everybody else.

As far as campaign promises go, they are nothing more then what the politician wishes for, campaign items/ideas, nothing more, nothing less. People who hold politicians to these campaign ideas, are bigger dreamers then the politicians who make them (especially on a national level).

Unheard of!!!!!

Perhaps it is best to review the before and after videos of President Obama. The repubs could use you as an ally given your outrage against broken promises.

Broken promises to lawyers are simply a case of misinterpretation and appeal.

Fortunately Obama has no need to explain his position reversals otherwise known as lies to the non lawyers among us. the media has ordained him a savior endowed with legendary oratory skills that somehow lack any vestige of the ability to communicate. So the poor man is universally misunderstood.

At any rate we appreciate your disgust with broken promises and welcome you to into the light and look forward to your vote in November to remove Obama from office.

ok, the article makes the claim that walker did not start paying his full share of his retirement plan until august, but they only looked at the pay stubs. did they ask walker to provide proof that he paid in another way? for instance, did walker send a check to cover the difference? that would blow your premise out of the water wouldnt it?

but if this is the best the left can do, you guys are in big trouble come election day.
