This is actually the Saturday afternoon palate-cleanser trifecta, in the sense that I have never seen the Left so desperate to destroy a Republican presidential front-runner and be so woefully unable to come up with the slightest speck of "dirt".
To wit:
2016 hopeful Scott Walker has tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, owing money to a list of banks and stores including Sears and Barclays, a new report alleges.
The Wisconsin conservative Republican governor owes between $10,000 and $100,000 to credit card companies, the Daily Beast reported Wednesday, which cited Walker’s latest state financial disclosure forms, filed in January.
Among Walker’s cards with debt listed, according to the forms, were a Sears MasterCard and a BarclayCard.
That's it. He's got two credit cards and has significant balances on them. And that somehow disqualifies him as a fiscal conservative.
Of course, Walk also has two kids in college, AND his parents live with him, AND he has a mortgage on his house (i.e. NOT the Wisconsin governor's mansion). Plus, his net worth is the lowest of any candidate, coming in at a whopping $72.500. To lend a little perspective to this number, my own net worth, a year and a half into my vocational exile, is approximately five times that size.
It's also kind of hard not to notice that there is nothing mentioned about the nature of the governor's credit card purchases, which evidently means they found no bar tabs, no strip clubs, no "escort services," no garishly large purchases of furs or jewelry or hotel stays as would presumably be the case of he had a few skanks on the side, no conspicuous "prescription" drugs, etc. Just the normal, everyday, humdrum line items that any average American would carry on their balance. And the media can't have LIVs and NIVs reaching the conclusion that Governor Walker is an average American, just like them, instead of a dirty, rotten, filthy, stinking rich Republican plutocrat bent on converting the 99% into caviar for his next country club soiree. Otherwise, why, they might start believing that he actually mows his own lawn or something.
And that he bought his mower at....Sears.
