Holy Crap: Scott Walker is Listening Edition
Governor Scott Walker made a semi-famous quote that got the attention of the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
I’m still trying to decipher if this is God’s calling. You’ve got to be crazy to want to be president of the United States. You’ve got to be crazy. To look at what it does to a person and a family, you’ve got to be crazy. But you should only do it if you feel that God’s called you to get in there and make a difference.”
The Foundation filed a public information request from Walker’s office for evidence of his communications with the Lord — and his office replied, officially, that it could find none.
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
Walker’s campaign slogan: God Says I’m Crazy!
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
Well fer heaven’s sakes! Mr Walker and I actually agree on something. Of course, even a broken clock is right twice a day! I have long thought that wanting to be President was a form of insanity.
1Scott Walker, a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, and former head of ALEC. Don’t be surprised if he’s the R candidate.
2Just because he hears voices doesn’t mean that God is calling.
3So if I understand Scott Walker correctly, the God of his religion only calls on crazy people to be President? That doesn’t sound right to me, but it would certainly explain the 1980’s.
If he still needs some help deciphering God’s message, I have a decoder ring from a box of Cracker Jacks, which is probably as accurate as anything else he might use to figure out his calling. And/or sanity..
4I’m standing with Ralph Wiggam on this point.
When you talk to God, we call it prayer, but when God talks to you, we call it schizophrenia.
5When your ego hears God, you are wrong.
6Scooter, you ignorant doofus. The disembodied voices you are hearing are your masters, Charles and David.
Is Walker the same idiot governor who was pwned by a caller pretending to be one of the Koch brothers?
7Considering the track record, at least for the last two tries, of Republicans who claim that God told them to run for president, I say he should go for it. He’ll go down in flames like all the others did.
How many Republican candidates does God tell to run in one cycle? Is God hedging his bets? Even so, he’s backed a bunch of losers.
Now there’s a thought. Maybe God tells GOP losers to run for president because he wants them to lose. If I weren’t an atheist, that would make me smile.
8Crazy Walker. Now he thinks the Kochroaches are God.
9Can’t wait so see him go down in flames while all the teachers, police and firemen thank the real God.
Yes, PKM, Walker is the doofus who was tricked by a couple of deejays into believing he was talking to his masters, the Kochs.
I need something better to call those scum-sucking brothers. Referring to them by name sounds too respectful. One word, possibly beginning with a “K” sound. Suggestions? epo? Anyone?
10This guy’s trash!
11He’s pandering to the religious right wingers while trying to convince the non religious ones that he’s crazy like a fox. He’s working harder everyday to undo any small advances made by working people.
I’d be happy to stomp on he’s grave when he crashes.
He’s full of shit!!!!!
@Debbo
So by “fooled” do you mean he responded with something like “I, for one, welcome our Koch brother overlords.” upon hearing their voices.
12Ohhhh, shades of Icarus! Must have camera ready when he crashes!
13PKM-here is your transcript of Walker being punked.

14e platypus onion, Happy Birthday, sir!
Thank you for the transcript. Amazing that people would vote for that dunce, after hearing the tape or reading the transcript.
15Debbo-there is a large selection of naughty words that start with k if you are interested. Otherwise it will take some time to find something palatable and not too inappropriate for everyday use.
16As we saw from the last group of republicans God told to run,God does, indeed, have a sense of humor.
17One has to remember that Scott Walker worships money and power, not that silly peacenik dude in the Bible. It’s sort of like when Sarah Palin quit her job for a higher-paying position – the voices they hear come from their bank accounts.
18I am amazed at how ambivalent God is on this issue.
He managed to carve the Ten Commandments into stone tablets, but he can’t get a clear message to Scott Walker. I guess he broke his hammer and chisel.
19I might add that God does not have a government issued photo ID so he will not be allowed to vote for Scott Walker.
20Debbo–I have been thinking of them as the Ka$h brothers for a long time….since buying is what they do….one can buy a lot using “Ka$h” money–the Supremes, the house and senate (I’m out of respect for them–no capital letters) lots of governing boards…Scott Walker is a dangerous person like Ted Cruz and JEB…out to destroy everything good in this country.
21We should be taxing them. It’s unbelievable. “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just…” T.Jefferson
A bunch of “good ole boys” the lynchers, rule breakers, “God-fearing (hearing) on Sunday–takers one and all. That’s what the Republicians offer up.
If God is calling Scott Walker it is probably similar to when my neighbor calls his dog to try to get the pooch to stay out of the trash.
22I don’t know what god Scott Walker thinks he listens to (Baal or Zeus, maybe) but as far as I can tell it’s not the same one who said “love your neighbor” and “do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.”
