"The GOP used Scott Walker like a canary in a coal mine." Well, the GOP IS well-known

[Cal33]

for using people, all right. What will they do when Walker gets recalled
come 2012? Change their right-wing rhetoric into left-wing? :)

1. Canary in coal mine isn't usually member of a posse of cruel sociopaths.

We have not only Wisconsin but also Ohio, Michigan, Florida -- bullied by Republican Hit Squad governors rushing in to crush traditional sources of Democratic support.

Not a cute little birdie in a careful test.

Part of a steamroller Republican brigade.

3. Well, maybe he doesn't know that he's being used as a canary. For that matter, nor

does Snyder.

The GOP is also well-known for using their own people, and dropping them like a
hot potato, when their services are over. Remember Linda Tripp? When she became
known as the betrayer of Monica Lewinsky, she became an embarassment to the GOP. And
when she lost her job and needed one badly, all those super-rich corporations
simply turned their backs on her. Nobody offered her a job. They forgot that
if it weren't for her, they wouldn't have been able to impeach Clinton for
anything at all.

Yes, that's gratitude for you -- the GOP kind of gratitude.

2. Here's the lead...

Below are give (sic) key admissions Walker was forced to make under oath today:

1.   Walker Never Campaigned on Repealing Worker Rights

2.   Walker’s Chief of Staff Hired the Son of a Wealthy Political Donor

3.   The Koch Brothers contributed to Walker’s campaign

4.  Walker’s attacks on Wisconsin unions were never about balancing the  budget

5.   The Main Provisions of the Budget Repair Bill were Non-Fiscal

4. I see that Walker is at least smart enough not to lie under oath.

It is unpleasant to admit that he was lying when he made all these statements,
but he is taking it rather than risk going to jail. His instinct of self-
preservation is working fine.

Now let's see what might happen in the future, when he finds out that he
had been simply used as a test or fall guy by the GOP. Would he get
angry enough to turn against them? Most likely not, but it's just a fancy of mine.

5. He may be egotistical enough to where he'll never consciously realize that he was used.

[Cal33]

6. That is a definite possibility. In fact, sociopaths are very adept at

using this form of defense mechanism. It's called denial. We all
use it some time, but not as often as the sociopaths do though.

[Cal33]

7. These might also be good reasons for the GOP to drop Walker

like a hot potato. He is becoming more and more of an embarrassment to them,
just as Linda Tripp was. I remember some news headlines: Betrayer Tripp is
being betrayed by a bigger betrayer. So much for the sociopathic Neocons.
No loyalaty, no gratitude for past services.

8. I don't think we should count any chickens before they hatch

Look at Canada. They just had a recall election and their right wing jerk won again. Canada is known as a Liberal country. The USA is not. It would not surprise me one bit if Walker won in a recall vote by a substantial margin. The brainwashing is going full bore at the moment and the people there have proved they are very susceptible to it.

[Cal33]

9. You are right. It's quite possible that Walker could win again. The

brain-washing by right-wing propaganda and lies has played a substantial role
in the mental make-up of many Americans. And the GOP dishonesty at vote-counting,
election fraud, and their Diebolb electronic voting machines, is well known.
