Walker doesn't realize any of that (or care much about it). He understands where his money comes from... no more and no less. You are correct that his opposition is much the same, just with different benefactors.
Bachman was different... her views were not paid for and she wasn't just doing it to make money selling books. She actually believed the crap she spewed and was a danger to the public good beyond anything campaign financing or a moratorium on gerrymandering would fix.
Politicians have been bought since the beginning of time. I don't like it, but it is what it is... people like Joseph McCarthy or Bachman are worse than that, more dangerous than that and when any of them return to obscurity it is a good day for our country.
