Remember Scott Walker's Todd Akin Moment

The Iowa Republican presidential caucuses are custom-made for Scott Walker, and Rick Santorum (2012 winner) and Mike Huckabee (2008 winner).

America is not.

Consider Scott Walker's Todd Akin moment in which the rabidly anti-choice governor claimed to speak for women, saying in part: "it's the initial months [of pregnancy] where they are concerned ... ."

So much for the ludicrous assertion that Walker is a small-government conservative.

Here's ten other things the nation needs to know about Scott Walker: See Analiese Eicher at One Wisconsin Now. See as well: Walker's 10 Biggest Whoppers (Lueders, The Progressive)

Scott Walker lies. It's debatable whether Walker's trait is pathological, it is not debatable that's Walker lying is destructive.

Scott's Walker's Todd Akin Moment and GOP Misogyny

Scott Walker blasted for "Todd Akin moment"

Scott Walker has been radically anti-choice his whole life, a not surprising misogynistic attribute from the fundamentalist Evangelical. (Lounsbury, The Progressive)

A woman is raped, the victim of incest or in Todd Akin's infamous phrase a victim of "legitimate rape" (Moore, NYT), Scott Walker and the Republicans believe by law they should make the decision for women as the GOP's anti-choice, forced-birth stance has become the norm for the radicalized Republicans.

Nearly one in five women will be raped at some point in their life, according to the Centers for Disease Control. (Vagianos, Huffington Post)

Tough luck.

Scott Walker who is pushing for a complete ban on abortion after 20 weeks in Wisconsin, with no exceptions for rape or incest, said, "most people ... it's the initial months [of pregnancy] where they are concerned about that [women's decision to bear children]."

Walker has divined what most women want, and in 2013 he signed into law the forced ultrasound law, which is also is a TRAP law, limiting which doctors women can consult.

Walker said his forced ultrasound law (Wisconsin Act 37) is "just a cool thing out there," expanding his proclaimed knowledge of what women want, saying "We just knew if we signed that law, if we provided the information, that more people if they saw that unborn child would, would make a decision to protect and keep the life of that unborn child." (Kelly, NPR) Walker also bragged that he and fellow Republicans defunded Planned Parenthood.

US Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) blasted Walker last night.

"This is Scott Walker's Todd Akin moment, I could not believe that our governor in a few short words showed how deeply out of touch he is with the women of Wisconsin and the women of this country; and frankly his policies with regard to women's reproductive health are actually dangerous," said Baldwin. (All In with Chris Hayes)

Walker's comments pertain to his forced ultrasound-TRAP law (Wisconsin Act 37) that is enjoined, per an opinion by the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirming the injunction by a US District judge just a few weeks after hostile oral argument in Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin v. J.B. Van Hollen (13-2726) in December 2013. (Mal Contends) (Clawson, Daily Kos)

Ripping Walker's Act 37—passed on a party line vote—at oral argument as an attempt to stop women from making their own decision about whether or not to bear children (and not a health law as Walker proclaimed) Judge Richard Posner sarcastically asked, "Is there something medically special about abortion ... because it begins with the letter 'A?'"

Scott Walker: I Don't Obsess with Abortion

David Cook of the Christian Science Monitor has a piece on Scott Walker where true to form, Walker misleads and obfuscates.

Reads Cook's profile of Walker's "pro-life position on abortion":

"I don't apologize for that, but I don't focus on that; I don't obsess with it."

In reality land, Scott Walker opposes all abortion, even in cases of rape and incest; and has signed a law (enjoined) requiring forced ultrasounds.

Walker has forced the closure of Planned Parenthood clinics, and on and on.

Rand Paul Lies and Evades, Just Like Scott Walker

Rand Paul - Lunatic

Rand Paul likes to acclaim his political affinity for Scott Walker.

And Paul, like Scott Walker, says he doesn't trust government to make decisions, unless it's government telling women what to do with their bodies; that's okay—both Walker and Paul are anti-choice always and wish to defund Planned Parenthood.

Google Rand Paul and Scott Walker and a reader can see how much the two have in common in Paul's applauding Walker turning down $Billions to be used for healthcare for Wisconsin, and other accolades over the last two years.

Another unsavory aspect the two politicians have in common is evasion and lying.

Here's a great piece about Rand Paul claiming to not know anything about the abortion legislation he’s co-sponsoring.

Rand Paul had praised Walker's Recall win, propped up by $70-million-plus in out-of-state funds, that he said fortold of a tough battle for President Obama against Mitt Romney in November 2012.

In June 2012, "Paul echoed the sentiments of many [Republicans] who believe Walker's defeat of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) set the stage for a tough 2012 presidential battle in the Badger State," wrote Paige Lavender.

Right. Obama won by six-plus points in Wisconsin, though Paul Ryan says it was all those "urban" voters turning out to vote, pretending to be good Americans.

Now, Paul, like Scott Walker, pretends to be gunning for a run for president in 2016.

Go Rand Paul, the White-Lunatic party needs you.
