Walker like most of the religious right think the earth is only 4000 years old. I cannot imagine why anyone would want him as President.
Because, Scott Walker has more Common Sense and proven Policy over the Educated Elites. We have seen first had what a Elite like President Obama and the Clinton's has done for this country!
Walker would cut thru the Cr--- and get to business of the People.
Bottom line, asking a politician if they believe in evolution is simply a culture war gotcha question. Walker's answer was dull and blunt, and I wish he had said something snappy like "what specific aspect, theory or subject area of the larger academic area of evolution are you referring to, and please be very specific", but it's still about as absurd a question as asking him whether he's a believer in the Big Bang, cyclic cosmology, or Carroll's multiverse, because Lord knows his belief/faith in different schools of cosmology is vital to how well he can be the Chief Executive Officer of a dysfunctional bureaucracy composed nearly entirely of morons who cannot do arithmetic.
In all honesty, I'd throw it right back at the person asking the question...
Reporter: Volobjectitarian...do you believe in evolution?
Volobjectitarian: Do you believe in Euler's Identity?
Reporter: Not sure what that is or what is has to do with my question?
Volobjectitarian: Are you telling me you don't believe in Euler's Identity, one of the most beautiful equations in mathematics, and fundamental to Fourier analysis?
Reporter: I didn't say that, I don't even know what Euler's Identity is.
Volobjectitarian: How can you be a reporter and not know higher order mathematical theory?
Reporter: Math isn't very relevant to my job.
Volobjectitarian: Yep, and my belief in evolution isn't relevant at all to mine. Next question.
I can't believe there are people out there who support Scott Walker.
Leaving Wisconsin was the best choice I ever made... Because no one in the history of it has divided the population and pitted neighbor against neighbor more than he has.
One of the biggest prides a Wisconsin resident used to be able to claim was their warm and welcoming demeanor... But it is far from that now.
He (as a college dropout) has completely devalued education from day ONE, cutting spending on education by the BILLIONS for the state. More recently, he tried to rewrite the University of Wisconsin's mission statement which has been in place for more than 100 years.
He cut spending on education on two occasions... The first was to balance the budget for the state... Now he has accounced an additional $300 million cut to the Wisconson University system... For... Budget balancing.
But hey... At least while he was in England, he had time to deny a casino/hotel from being approved on the WI / IL border, which would have brought in millions of out of state tax dollars and generated thousands of jobs for a desperate Kenosha community.
When he was campaigning to be Wisconsin governor, he promised the people of Wisconsin 250,000 jobs by 2015... Well, at the end of his four years, he didn't even get halfway.
In his four years as governor, Scott Walker's Wisconsin has ranked 40th, 40th, 36th and 32nd in job creation... Out of the seven Midwest states, Wisconsin has been last every year except for one which was second to last.
So... What has he done for Wisconsin?
Failed miserably in job creation.
He has NOT balanced the budget... On two attempts...
He has cut education spending TWICE.
He has stripped collective bargaining from teacher's unions (still didn't balance the budget lol)
He has been surrounded by controversy leading back to his time as Milwaukee County Exec.
He has turned down thousands of jobs that would have been generated by a federally-funded high speed rail.
I can't believe there are people out there who support Scott Walker.

What utter nonsense. I would count the lies in your post, but it's all lies and invective.
Wisconsin is better off without you, and it's still a wonderful place.
P.S. King Obama, not Scott Walker or anyone else, has divided the population and pitted neighbor against neighbor more than anyone in history.
