If you're in a room full of exploding-head leftists when this happens, please wear protection.

I just wish he was speaking as our candidate for the Presidency.

I would sleep a lot better knowing I had a candidate I wouldn’t have to hold my nose to vote for.

I am sure he will and Sarah should as well but Sarah will be busy anyway finding and supporting folks of Scott’s ilk all over the country.

Maybe he’s being trotted out as possible VP fodder.

Maybe they want to “take him under their wing”. In other words, brainwash him.

We don’t want Palin with a prime speaking spot. She is irrelevant, and yesterday’s news. All Palin represents now is Palin, as a celebrity and reality TV star. She is not a political leader. She evokes memories of the 2008 loser, Captain Queeg. We want voters focussed on Romney, with a positive, optimistic view.

Gov. Walker has a spine of steel. He certainly should be featured prominently. He could teach the castrated weasels like Boehner a lot about sticking to conservative principles in the face of adversity.

If he has the sand to buck unions, I doubt the GOPe will faze him.

May I suggest General David Petraus for VP to complement Mitt’s skill set?

As long as it’s somebody with a functional spine and active testicles, I’m up for it.

Good grief. She isn’t a saint. People are entitled to their opinion. Sarah does a lot for conservatives. Maybe pointing that out is a better idea than calling for booting people. Astro has been here much longer than you. I don’t mind folks embracing our new up and coming stars like Walker. He and others build with spines of steel need to be the focus. Palin always has her place and does her thing to support conservatives but it’s guys like Walker that are the future.

I Love Walker also, was only complaining about his response to my comment that I hoped Gov Palin would get a prime speaking spot also.

If you have no problem with Astronauts Palin comments, then you are no friend of Sarah Palin, he absolutely trashed her.

But yes I love Walker also.

FYI I have been here for years longer than this handle.

Hey If you condone Astronauts Palin bashing, you should get the boot as well IMHO
