He’s still in the race? I scratched him off my list during the debate.
I had to read that headline 3 times still not sure I get it.
If a pol has a core conviction and stands by it then that pol won’t stammer when talking about it. They’ll talk about it with gusto. You can, within reason, trust (but verify) what they have to say when this is the case
Conversely, when they stammer, hem and haw or change views over and over you know they don’t hold it as a core conviction and you can’t trust what they’re saying.
We've all seen that far too many times.
What a shame this guy is such a poor candidate after all his accomplishments in WI. A real shame, but he isn’t the one we need to lead us out of the mess we’ve allowed our government to become.
That’s right “WE HAVE ALLOWED OUR GOVERNMENT TO BECOME”. We the people were asleep in the stateroom at peace while the pilot house filled up with pirates. We ignored those that tried to wake us up, and now we have to come up with a way to get rid of the pirates without sinking the ship.
No one to blame but ourselves. It’s all part of keeping the Republic IF WE CAN.
My initial gut instinct about Walker was that he was another Cheap Labor Express candidate.
Then he made statements that made me question that instinct.
He has since confirmed my suspicions about him.
He will not stand for the rule of law and the citizens.
Not the headline I could have chosen, but the article was pretty much a thorough chronological narrative of the positions taken.
Neither will the mob candidate, Trump.
Not to mention hiring Brad Dayspring....and now Ed Gillespie. He screams GOPe.
What you’ve said is so true and God forgive us.
Not a strong core there, unfortunately.
Not only “forgive us”, but lead us out of our predicament as well.
Amen, FRiend.
Have you noticed how they tightly edit what Walker said to the reporter as they were walking though the fair, in a gaggle of media asking him questions from everywhere? Then they go on to editorialize about what Walker meant.
Walker has stated his position but the media is hot to take out the guy who took down the unions.
It's HEADLINE news gang!
It appears that the “media” interpreted Walker’s answer to a question and made it a headline.
Then they said he had to clarify (the media’s mistake).
So now the story becomes that Walker changed his mind.
Interesting how that works.
As Scott Walker has stated, "going forward" no amnesty, we seal the border (using all options), enforce the laws, remove the magnets (6 months - June 2011- into his 1st term Walker was the first and only governor to revoke instate tuition for illegals, secure jobs for American citizens [legal immigration must also be adjusted down], E-verify and then look at other options. And this is about more than illegal immigration, it's about national security.
One thing I can say on Walkers behalf is that he does not need to change the constitution regarding this matter and he knows it. Congress was given the power to legislate on this and this was best explained by Mark Levin:
Levin: Cruz, Trump, Sessions ‘Are Right,’ 14th Amendment Doesn’t Mandate Birthright Citizenship
Truth is Walker has never been consistent and decisive where the issue of immigration is concerned. He is trying to cater to his big money donors and it shows.
Three statements, three different positions on anchor babies in a week just underlines the on going problem.
That is your interpretation in your long history of anti-Walker postings.
Who is your candidate?
About your candidate (as it relates to your comment about Walker):
" “...And, for the party’s top donors, who hear pleas from all corners, “it’s more than some of these other candidates have for a path to victory,” says a GOP strategist familiar with Cruz’s pitch. As for those dreaded consultants the senator so often maligns, he’s not beyond their reach.
The Cruz campaign has paid Axiom Strategies, the consulting firm owned by Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe, about $30,000 a month. A spokesman for the campaign says that fee covers Roe’s salary as well as those of three other campaign staffers. J2 Strategic Communications, the firm established by Cruz’s senior adviser, Jason Johnson, is also paid $20,000 a month for campaign work, which a Cruz spokesman says is the closest their operation comes to a traditional campaign-consultant relationship.
One of Roe’s former clients was former Texas lieutenant governor David Dewhurst, the establishment candidate defeated in a 2012 Senate bid by political upstart Ted Cruz.
That’s how quickly friends of the Republican establishment can become foes, and vice versa. Now, Cruz is hoping for a similar transformation if he manages to make his renegade brand that of the Republican standard-bearer. Source
