There was a local election a few years back that had a conservative D running against a liberal R, so they were in a similar place ideologically, but the R seemed to be much smarter and more competent. That's the only Republican I've ever voted for.

Yeah, I voted for Lisa Murkowski because she's just about as liberal as most Democrats, or as much as our other senator who is a Democrat anyway. She's just a Republican because her dad (who appointed her to fill his Senate seat when he got elected governor) is.

The state actually rallied together and got her reelected as a write in candidate after the Tea Party primaried her out in the 2010 election. It was awesome. Turns out that was a good thing nationally because after Ted Cruz and the Tea Party shut down the government, she was part of the bipartisan women's caucus that started the talks back up.

...I also may have voted for that 2010 Tea Party crazy in this year's Republican primary in a failed effort to keep the Koch Brothers puppet off the ticket in the general.

Yes, I also only vote exclusively for what I think will benefit me, personally, based on my careful and purely rational assessment of parties and candidates and how their policies as stated or enacted directly affect me in my life.

tbf in the past 4 years, wisconsin has devolved into Texas North in that you can be the most detestable republican alive and be widely hated by over 70% of the state, and yet more than half the people will vote for you because you're not some queer commie Democrat

there is a very good chance Walker will be the GOP nominee in 2016 and that scares the gently caress out of me

2. total lack of charisma hasn't made Paul Ryan politically irrelevant in any way, shape, or form

paul ryan at least has some credentials of some kind, even if his reputation as a """wonk""" was earned because he can pull a bunch of numbers out of the air and then subtract them.

anyway youll note taht ryans last political appearance of any consequence involved getting styled on by the First Hesher of the United States, so its not like hes riding high in the national consciousness either

Some people might wish Walker could be pres so he could just be a spokesperson for their agenda, but the dude is dumb as a bag of rocks. Also no way some dude without a college degree is becoming president, but the Republicans would be the ones to do it so welp

Here's Walker getting pranked by a couple radio hosts pretending to be the Koch bros, it's like he's talking to his boss and they even get him to agree to a vague suggestion to insert agent provocateurs in the Democratic recall protests

Yeah i suppose i'm willing to vote for Sanders, but i find him to be pretty inadequate and uninspiring and way more acquiescent to the American political status quo than he should be. And this video is especially disappointing and depressing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf2cCdgwgoM

And yeah, what's the deal with Scott Walker attending Marquette University from August 1986 until May 1990 yet failing to get a degree? Rick Perry got some pretty lovely grades at Texas A&M, but at least he graduated...
