If you think state government should bully high schoolers for exercising their right to free speech, that it has a right to poke through the medical records of women who ve had abortions, that there shouldn t be a separation between church and state, and you re A-OK with the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity s effort to wipe out just about all functions of the federal government that benefit anyone other than the obscenely rich, but you only hold those views when your party is in power, than your dream job is working as communications director for Kansas Republican governor Sam Brownback.

Shadowy "issue ad" groups that do not disclose their funders as well as heavy hitter political action committees are rushing to the aid of embattled Wisconsin Senator Scott Walker, whose poll number are dropping like a rock.
