"Bah! Humbug! Screw Your Kids! Send Your Gifts To Me!"

Remember Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker?

Some say he harbors Presidential ambitions.  He's held up as poster-boy for a supposed warmer-and-fuzzier breed of Republican.  No doubt he's an ambitious little shit, but don't you believe that "kinder, gentler" junk for a second.

Walker is still the same brown-nose Big Business tool who rammed through a law making public-sector collective bargaining illegal in Wisconsin.  He swore it was the only way to balance the budget, then got phone-punk'd by a David Koch imitator who got him to admit it was all about "crushing those unions".  After that, Walker barely survived a recall vote.

Yeah, that Scott Walker.

Last week, he showed his true colors in a different way.  In a Black Friday email promotion, Walker asked parents to make contributions to his re-election campaign instead of buying Christmas gifts for their children: 

"Instead of electronics or toys that will undoubtedly be outdated, broken or lost by the next Holiday Season, help give your children the gift of a Wisconsin that we can all be proud of.  It's a Black Friday Special that's better than any deal found in budget deficits."

So much for the re-invented GOP.  Meet the new breed, same as the old breed.
