This sealed the deal for me and was just the last straw.Yes, he believes it is up to the state but he also tweeted that he was “glad” that they were taking it down. This guy just doesn’t have a clue about what is at stake in this country at this time. He’s doesn’t have what it is going to take.

You would base your decision on who should be the President of the United States, the most powerful position in the history of mankind, on what that person' opinion was of 1 state deciding, by a vote of its legislature and governor, to retire a confederate battle flag to a museum????

And in the same statement, you state that HE doesn't have a clue????????

With the right to vote comes responsibility to understand what's happening.

LOL! You don’t know me very well. I have been keeping files on political candidates for over 8 years now. Every time there is a news article, interview etc that I think could have some influence on my vote I put a link in a WORD document with that candidate’s name on it.

Then, when it is time for me to decide I check sites like Conservative Review and others and consult my files. I make a list of pros and cons and the candidate which is closest to my beliefs and has more pros than cons wins my vote.

I said it was the LAST STRAW. Not the only straw:)

Thanks for your insight and comments. I try to stay in touch with folks from Wisconsin. I’ve found many who share your views. What works at the state level doesn’t necessarily translate to the national level, as we saw with Jimmy Carter

Of course you can find liberals in Wisconsin...a former mayor of Milwaukee was a socialist!!! Wisconsin, Madison and Milwaukee in particular, have been bastions of ultra-liberal, union backing Democrats for years....my family was among them...Dad was a teamster, mom worked for a company assembling ejection seats for the military

Both were firm union backers and as such, couldn't see the forest for the trees.

Scott Walker has done more in favor of Wisconsonites than did the last 5 Demo governors.

When peopple wake up and realize that you cannon expect to live on money that you FORCE others to donate to you...all will be well.

No-one begrudges those who legitimatlely can't....but those who don't support themselves because they expect you to do so are getting far too numerous.

Whoops, I forgot to comment on Carter...

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, again, mention Carter in the same paragraph with Walker............NEVER

Walkers family vacations with and hosts parties with a gay couple. What he does with his personal life is more telling.

Maybe they are his nephew and friend, maybe they are his cousin and her friend....maybe you shouldn't be so paranoid about something as harmless as associating with homosexuals

Do we refer to President Clinton as Ms. President, or Madam president, perhaps Mrs. president...and what about good old Bill....First Man, first husband, those are decisions that you will have to make if you opt against almost president Walker....

I’m not betting on a horse race. I’m choosing the future president of our country.

I blame the lesser of two evils and pick the one who can win for Obama’s presidency.

If you want to keep making the same mistakes go ahead. No one is stopping you.

to ignore positions that candidates take that are not Conservative

There are a couple of non-conservative positions that Cruz and Walker have taken, you could write 'em on the back of a business card.

You could fill a pamphlet the size of a Reader's Digest with Jeb's.

You could fill the Britannica with Trump's.

The only reason that I even mentioned the Walker’s social life with gays is because Napscoordinator sent me a nasty slam on Ted Cruz saying his best friend was gay (completely false) and slamming Cruz because one of his donors is gay.

I care much more that Walker hired the nasty piece of work, Brad Dayspring.

The folks that I stay in contact with are Conservatives who voted for Walker. They have been upset by the poor ranking of Wisconsin on business startups, job creation and the WEDC debacle. The last time I heard from them, they were furious over the attempt to real the Open Records laws.

That would trouble me, too. I lived in Arkansas when Slick Willie pulled that one.

I don’t consider Jeb worth the time. I don’t know of anyone who is voting for him.

As for Trump, it is harder to assess since he ahs no voting record on issues. I think a lot of time, people who are not running for election spout the same line their friends do. I am watching Trump and enjoying how he is driving the left nuts, as well as the GOPe.
