Does Governor Walker have ANY Integrity?

How much does “integrity” mean to you as a value that you hold yourself and those around you accountable to?  Do you pride yourself on being a person of “integrity” and do you expect the same of others whom you associate with?  If you are a parent, do you make a point of nurturing the principles of “integrity” into your children’s upbringing? If you are an employer or someone who supervises others, do you hold them accountable to being of “integrity?”

I would be hard pressed to believe that any of us are truly opposed to integrity being a core part of our everyday fiber.  Furthermore, I would like to believe that we expect the same from others around us.  But how many of us are holding our publicly elected officials to those same standards that we demand of ourselves, our children, our employees, or our friends and neighbors? 

Regardless of whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or an Independent, at what point are you growing tired of the lack of integrity being demonstrated by Governor Walker?  While examples of his lack of integrity are plentiful, I want to encourage you to read the linked Editorial article from the Opinion section of The Cap Times. 

While I am not an avid reader of the Capital Times, this article does raise a rather interesting point in which they question whether Governor Walker lied while testifying under oath to the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on April 14^th, 2011.  Even if this little stunt does not land him in legal trouble, (or should I say “more legal trouble”) it simply makes me question how far the governor will get before party loyalty is not enough to prevent a large number of Republicans from saying enough is enough by switching over at the polls on June 5^th?

As a Republican myself who desires less extremism in the Wisconsin GOP, I know how I will be voting in the recall election.  And that vote will not be for a Pinocchio in disguise. Lastly, I do not believe that I am the only republican who feels this way.

Sincerely,

Gary
