Scott Walker: A Good Call for Milwaukee County

Scott Walker released a new video in the past day highlighting his commitment to keeping jobs in Milwaukee by holding the line on taxes. The video has him with the Miller Brewery in the background. Aside from the ‘official’ Good Scott/Bad Scott commercial that appeared during the nightly news, this is my favorite Scott Walker video.
It’s important to know that we have a quality county executive that believes in keeping jobs in Wisconsin through lowering taxes – other than his opponent who believes in raising taxes-.
On a second Scott Walker note, he attended another forum today where he debated Lena Taylor. Taylor of course came out again saying she believes in letting juvenile criminals off easy. She also did not oppose the court of appeals decision to give up to $5,000 to every convicted criminal. Walker of course took a hard-line stance against paying convicted criminals and of course he has a long and proud record of being hard on crime and keeping Milwaukee safe.
Finally I was one of about 20 volunteers this past weekend that did a big push for Scott Walker during the two St. Patrick’s Day Parades. The first parade was fun, no real altercations except for the guy that chanted behind Walker. Dad29 claimed the protester to be ‘capper’ but I found out that his name is Jerry that works for the busses… unless they are one in the same?
I also walked alongside the County Executive in the second parade it Wauwatosa. Minus a few less then coherent people asking Scott to raise their taxes or end the war, everyone was real receptive, except for the four total Lena supporters that were classy enough to ‘boo’. A few of the official Taylor supporters confronted a few of the Walker supporters that were walking the parade route beforehand asking them how they could be so soulless and to support Taylor instead. I thought they were kidding at first and another Walker volunteer offered to play along, but it went downhill quickly as soon as the verbal harassment from the Taylor volunteers began.

Sorry, the name’s not Jerry.
And booing is much better than having a woman go up to Taylor and call her a black b-word before stomping off.
But more on that on a popular site…

You’re right, Justin. Great ad. Walker knows that we need to keep taxes in check to keep people and businesses in Milwaukee County. Unlike Lena Taylor who has readily admited that she’s going to raise taxes.
Capper, that’s a pretty inflamatory statement…you better have proof of it before you start saying things like that. Just because a volunteer says it, doesn’t make it so.

…well I’m curious, how *can* they be so soulless?
