I had no idea Scott Walker was so popular

Given that you're an unemployable bum who will one day almost certainly be in desperate need of the very social safety net and protections you're so gung ho to destroy, I find your 'relish' more than a little moronic.

If he's so moronic, why are you talking to him?

[The Mad Monk]

Well your 'relish' (the English kind) tastes disgusting. I say that to bring attention to the fact that you're English and last I checked, we stopped letting you impose your political beliefs on us in 1776!

The only reason I even give a **** is that all this crap you daft bastards keep cheerleading for is going to lead to real life misery for millions of people. You don't have to be the same nationality to find that revolting.

I'll keep this in mind when you chastise the US if we intervene in Syria.

If I thought you wouldn't completely **** it up like you have Iraq and Afghanistan I'd be all for a Syrian intervention, and have been for well over a decade.

Well then, maybe the UK should do it. Or would you also completely **** it up?

Thanks to Ireland, Oman and others we're actually quite good at the hearts and minds side of warfare (we should be considering how many lives we lost getting it very wrong over decades) but we don't have the force projection to carry out operations like that.

I don't see what's wrong with a gov that turned a deficit budget around without raising taxes. I wish more govs could do that. In the long run it will help millions more than it hurts.

I made two donations to Governor Walker. One for $100, and one for $17.76.

Good man. Walker should be honoured with official Texas ranger appointment.

You could run a huge surplus by slashing all public services but still continuing to tax people. How exactly does that help people?

Well, seeing as you needed your *** bailed out by the Yankees and the colonies the last major war that you fought, is it we, or you?

By running a surplus, Walker ensures that the state is fiscally stable. Promising **** that your *** can't cash, how does that help people? Providing the same services, but at a lesser cost means that everyone benefits, except for the union.

Even the teachers are better off. Instead of massive layoffs, Wisconsin was actually able to hire young ones, since the deadwood left. We need 50 Walkers.

It's your own fault for spending next to nothing on defense. Either your country doesn't have much faith in the ability of its military to do something good or your country is just too cheap to foot the bill.

I know for a fact that kentonio has done a bang up job of winning the hearts and minds of folk here at poly. Surely if he is a typical Brit one could only expect great results. Ahhh if only the UK weren't a podunk has been.

Or they know the US got their ungrateful back. The US successfully defends the entire free world at no cost to anyone but US taxpayers.
