Wisconsin voters beware: Scott Walker's public and private words don't match up on key issues

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker

Oh, look. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has been saying (or not saying) very different things on the public campaign trail and privately to far-right groups. Walker hasn't wanted to talk publicly about his position on marriage equality during this campaign, but as part of his effort to get an endorsementfrom Wisconsin Family Action, Walker wrote to the group that:

... he was defending the state's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. He said he swore an oath to uphold the constitution and he supports "marriage between one man and one woman."
"I would hope that my record and the stark contrast with my opponent's positions would garner your support," the governor wrote.
That's not all. In the letter, Walker brags about the anti-abortion laws he's signed, even though, on the campaign trail, he's not exactly advertising that he opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest.
Wisconsin voters have to wonder what else Walker isn't telling them about his views. After all, we know from his record that not having campaigned on a position won't stop him from pushing it hard the minute he's elected, or re-elected. It's a much better bet to trust what Walker is quietly telling the far right than what he's loudly telling average Wisconsin voters.
there should be no surprise here he like the other red state gov. as soon as they look the oath they abandoned they went about killing unions and relegating workers to peon status that have no say in wages, hours, health care, work conditions, and he pals around with the Koch bros. whose primary objective is to deregulate so they have the right to pollute, poison, destroy the environment it's what happens when you send bills back to the state they elect and the elected ones set about undoing the fabric of American society in the name of another dollar bill.
