I honestly can’t find a negative thing about him that would stop my complete support of him.

 

Oh, there's some stuff out there all right. Like any good FReeper, I just stole this....

It certainly was no surprise Walker did not mention a right-to-work initiative. The Republican governor with an increasingly laser-like focus on laying the groundwork for a presidential run has, after all, called a conservative drive to pass right-to-work legislation ending this session a “distraction.”

While Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, has recently said he will have the votes to pass “Workplace Freedom” legislation in the Senate, where such a bill is expected to begin, it appears plenty of Republican lawmakers don’t care to be bothered with the question.

Like many Americans, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has softened on the issue of same-sex marriage. Going back to 2005, he was a staunch supporter of traditional marriage, and as recently as 2010, he reportedly “opposed a new state law that allows gay couples to register with counties to get certain benefits, such as hospital visitation rights.” But his views have shifted.

Around March of 2013, Walker started suggesting that opposition to gay marriage was “generational,” and that it was wiser for Republicans to focus on economic issues. And just this week, after the Supreme Court decided not to weigh in on on the decision striking down Wisconsin’s gay marriage ban, his administration announced they would recognize same sex marriages, going back to June.

Here are some key past statements he’s made, all in 2013:

— At a February 2013 national conference hosted by Politico, Walker said fixing the legal immigration system should come first, but said the next step is we “gotta embrace” a “legal pathway” for those here unlawfully. He did not elaborate on what he meant.

— In a July 2013 interview with Wausau (Wis.) Daily Herald staffers, Walker said “it makes sense” that people could not only stay here but get citizenship with the right mix of penalties and waiting periods and other requirements.

— In 2013 and later, Walker didn’t endorse any specific bill in Congress that would have allowed illegal immigrants to stay here. But at the Politico conference, he didn’t dismiss legislative action if some “nuances” were addressed.

— At that conference he flatly opposed deporting people who are here unlawfully, saying “you’ve got to find a way to make it legally possible for people moving forward.”

Nope....not in the least. Still think he is best for the United States at this time. His beliefs for Wisconsin are not how he should be for the country. He will lead as a conservative as President. His voters were expecting him to represent them. States rights and all.....we used to expect that from our politicians.
