In mid November I wrote here about the terrifying letter that Scott Walker wrote about the terrible things that would happen if the recall went forward.
550,000 signatures later, Scott is getting nervous.
He is writing to a fellow conservative (Uh,no) because:
"The President's Chicago Political Machine and vengeful, power-consumed Big Government Union Bosses have put a bull’s eye on my back. All over the country, bitter and disgruntled ultra-liberal fringe groups and Super PACs are preparing their donors to pour tens of millions into this recall race against me."
Whoa now. This sounds serious. I'm from California so I had no idea that things were getting so hot for Scott in Wisconsin. You may not have realized this but the "bitter and disgruntled ultra liberal fringe groups" or BDULFG are:
"Motivated by revenge because I insisted that unionized state workers pay their fair share for health care benefits and pensions, the Big Labor Bosses from all over the country are using this recall race as a pilot project to test drive and hone their all-negative, all-consuming national attack message."
I hear what you're saying Scott.
And furthermore:
"If they succeed in their quest of ousting me from the Governor’s Office here, they will roll out their cutthroat tactics to every state in the nation to get president Obama the second term that will devastate our economy."
I think he's on to something here. And what's more Scott has put his finger on the dire outcome if he is recalled. Scott is no fool. People say he is dumb but I don't think so. Scott knows that:
"Sadly, if I lose, our conservative reforms—the reforms that are saving our government millions of dollars, turning a multi-billion dollar state deficit into a surplus and saving counties and municipalities millions more—will be rolled back…"
I was with Scott right up to the point in the letter where he says:
"If your goal is to make Barack Obama a one term President, here’s your chance to do something significant right now."
I thought the goal was to win the recall? I'm beginning to think Scott may have something else in mind.
