Hope for the Republic

Who's tired of government waste?  Who's tired of government interference?  Who's just tired of government?  Well there's hope.  I just read an article about Scott Walker in Wisconsin.  I now have hope that there are real Republican's with real values that actually act on those values.  I'm not sure I like the endorsements of Newt and Jeb but his actions speak louder than their praise.  This guy actually has returned "$370,000 in salary over eight years because he thought it was wrong for the county executive to be paid more than the state's governor".
That's more than Biden has given to charity over the last decade and nearly as much as Obama gave (as a multimillionaire) for the last two years.  This is the type of person we need running.  Someone who the competition has to resort to toothless comlaints of spending too much on campaign meals (money that I'm sure is donated by people rather than taken from tax payers).  I would like to see more leaders like Scott Walker, principled, disciplined and responsible.  If we can ask for more than that from our politicians it's because they already have these traits.  We need a George Washington and just like George Washington (who refused to be paid as Commander in Cheif durring the Revolutionary War) Scott Walker demonstrates leadership through example rather than rhetoric.
