Truth be told, Governor Walker’s nose is looking longer!

Some people put far more stock into WI Politfact than I do.  But I do find it interesting that of the fifty public comments that they have analyzed by Governor Scott Walker, that four out of every five, (yes 80%) of what he has said has a less than favorable rating. 

For a man who claims to be of ultra high integrity, (with his esteemed accolade as an Eagle Scout to back it up) Governor Scott Walker does not appear to be telling the truth according to his track record. 

According to Politifact, only six out of fifty of Governor Walker’s claims were deemed to be “True.”  You cannot even get it to twenty percent unless you add in his six claims that ranked as “Mostly True.”   To top it all off, Governor Walker had statements that easily ranked in the “Pants on Fire” category four separate times, including the one in which he said under his budget-repair bill, "collective bargaining is fully intact."

No one is perfect, but would you accept this type of dishonesty from your own children, your neighbors or even your friends?  If not, then is this really the type of moral character that we are willing to accept by a sitting governor?   If any us would be fired from work and shunned by our friends and neighbors if we were this far off, this many times with telling the truth while going around and claiming to be the epitome of truth.

Personally, I demand more honesty and integrity from my governor than what Scott Walker is demonstrating and I hope that you do as well.  I need a governor who I can believe and Poltifact is just another source that has helped to further assure me that Scott Walker is not that man.

I wonder how Senator Fitzgerald’s record looks?

Sincerely,

Gary
