Kock Bros and affiliates dumped a blizzard of money to beat the recall.
He fund raises all over the place. It's because his Wisconsin teachers union busting....which is EXTREMELY popular in Wisconsin BTW, made him a big public figure with a national machine.
Libs are just super mad that all the money and effort they put in trying to make him lose in elections, recall elections, state house races etc. all failed miserably....because his reforms were SO POPULAR in an otherwise solidly liberal state.

What are the odds Scott Walker and Sarah Palin are actually related?
I hope Walker got educated and isn't still saying this . I don't know what's up with Republicans and their Reagan myths but he's the complete opposite of what they like to portray him as. Limited government is bull , it grew under Reagan. Yeah, he cut taxes but then he had to raise them like it was going out of style. And national defense? I laugh when Republicans try to use Reagan as some beacon of light when it comes to foreign policy. They all ignore what this man got away with. He's just lucky his presidency wasn't in a 24/7 news cycle back in the 80's because if the same things that happened during his administration were going on in this era Reagan would be in a political dead man today, maybe even worse than Bush. We've had to endure Benghazi ad nauseam but the '83 American embassy bombing in Lebanon that killed about 20 Americans and the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut which killed 200+ marines are completely forgotten. And those two incidents happened months apart. Reagan would get the "feckless" treatment today tenfold. And before Saddam became Lex Luthor to America he was all friendly with the Reagan administration. Ron took them off the state sponsors of terrorism list so they could sell and aid Saddam's regime with all kind of goodies during the Iran/Iraq war...weapons, chemicals, intelligence and training. And then on top of that Reagan turned a blind eye when Saddam used chemical warfare on Iran and civilians. We reaped the whirlwind of Reagan's idiocy compounded with Bush's idiocy in starting the Iraq war in 2003. People wonder why Bush and his administration were so convinced Saddam had WMDs and was continuing his program. Well, we still had the receipts of everything we supplied him with throughout the 80'sWalker Claims He Voted for Reagan
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) talked to Right Wing News about voting for Ronald Reagan:
"I remember, I was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for Ronald Reagan -- limited government, you know, smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense. You knew what you were getting. You knew how a Reagan administration, a Reagan presidency was going to be better for you."
One problem: Blogging Blue notes Walker wasn't old enough to vote in either 1980 or 1984 when Reagan ran for president.
And Iran was on the state sponsors of terrorism list as well but that didn't stop Ron from selling them weapons and thousands of missiles illegally using Israel as a proxy. This was done while Iranian affiliates were holding American hostages in Lebanon and he figured negotiating with these guys (or "naively appeasing" as Republicans would call it today) would get Iran to use their influence to have the hostages released. Can you imagine the sh**storm that would have come down on his head if this story broke in this day and age? Never mind Reagan's administration destroying do ents of Ron authorizing this and on top of that sponsoring terrorism in Nicaragua by funding the Contras with the money coming in from Iran's illegal arms sales. But yeah, when it comes to Reagan all of his is buried by right wing amnesiacs and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these hypocrites mention Reagan in glowing terms in this week's Republican debate.
This is why we NEED voter ID. Because people like young Scott Walker can vote illegally. It is a problem. This is proof of it.I hope Walker got educated and isn't still saying this .

"Republicans and their Reagan myths"
Repugs got nothing but lies, propaganda, slander, revisionist history. Their fake adoration of St Ronnie is part of their fantasy world.
Voter ID could have stopped this. It is real.Walker Claims He Voted for Reagan

"I remember, I was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for Ronald Reagan -- limited government, you know, smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense. You knew what you were getting. You knew how a Reagan administration, a Reagan presidency was going to be better for you."

Probably want to read post #15, DMX.
It's a joke...
I need to rent a new sense of humor.
Now We Know. Scott Walker Was John Doe. (Big Update)
He's still denying it, but Scott Walker, it turns out not only caused the first John Doe Probe by refusing to cooperate and obstructing an investigation into missing funds from a Veterans trust, but he was a target of the John Doe Probe.
Gov. Scott Walker says he didn't know he was a target of a now-closed John Doe probe until this week, when newly released court do ents showed he was under investigation for misconduct in office.
He continues to rely on the same old talking points to discount the importance of this revelation: "I didn't know", "this is old news", and, the infamous "I was never charged".Why he was never charged in the investigation is a continued mystery since it is clear that he knew about the secret router, private email system, as well as campaign work and fundraising being done in his Milwaukee County Executive Office instead of official government business. All were in place to hide the use of his official office and staff as a campaign organization by avoiding the Milwaukee County routers that archive all communications to comply with Open Records Laws.
And then there's this:
Although Walker insisted at the time he was not a target of the probe, he set up a legal defense fund and hired criminal defense attorneys.
Why did he need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on criminal defense lawyers if he "didn't know" he was under investigation and pay for them using campaign funds under a statute that makes those funds available in the case of a politician being investigated?
Even at the time Slick Scotty avoided those questions and our Walker-loving media never vigorously pursued the answer.
The original probe, closed in 2013 with the indictment and conviction of 6 of Walkers closest aides and associates, is still newsworthy because of do ents continually coming to light in legal filings. The latest, a lawsuit filed by former top Walker Aide Cynthia Archer, has led to quite a number of do ents becoming public.
Oh, The Hypocrisy!
Despite the John Doe revelations of his own legitimate email scandal, Scott Walker decided that last night was a great time to hurl mud at Hillary Clinton about her hyped up email "scandal". Yes, this guy has moon-sized balls and it didn't take long for the hypocrisy to be pointed out.
"Out of all of the candidates, the last one to have any credibility on the issue is Scott Walker," said state Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D-Middleton), noting that the secret email system router was located not far from his office while he was Milwaukee County executive.State Rep. Katrina Shankland (D-Stevens Point) added, "It smacks of hypocrisy, at the very least."
Walker and his aides routinely conducted county business on campaign and private email accounts and blurred campaign and county government lines, previously-released records show.
Walker is the last guy in this solar system who should be accusing anyone of misconduct in office.

Repug tea baggers love criminal slimebags like Walker.
