Agreed! Ted Cruz's place is in the Senate as a legislator. That's where we need him. Scott Walker is a battle tested administrator. There is massive difference between the two. Prove to me that you can run a state, first. Then I'll believe in your ability to run the country. The Oval Office is where we need Scott Walker to land.
+1, generally anyways. I really like Walker, think he would be a great candidate to coalesce around and want him in the primaries as a viable candidate.
But I’ve also learned to hedge my bets and not make a decision until I’ve seem how a candidate actually performs. I liked Fred Thompson and Rick Perry too ...
It is not journalistic laziness. It is purposeful deception by the media to smear and defame.
This is/was an attempt to knock Gov. Walker out before he wins re-election in November.
Probably too early for November too.....it’s June and after an especially brutal winter in Wisconsin people are not paying attention to politics. But as another poster said, the judge is going to lay the hammer down and the slimy scum had to spew their lies before that happened
A retraction will be issued by all who headlined this smear. One line. Page 64c. Maybe.
Be not deterred, my dear carlo3b. I don’t understand it myself, and I live here.
I keep posting these articles, hoping that one of them will explain it all.
Just know that I know Scott Walker, and he’s the salt of the earth. He doesn’t have a crooked bone in his body, and I’m sure that he’s broken no law.
Republicans control the Wisconsin House and Senate. It’s time to impeach the prosecutors and any other officials involved in this abuse of power. Will Republicans defend themselves? We know they don’t defend us, but do they have the self preservation instincts of paramecium that will induce themm to actually defend themselves? Doubtful.
They’re complicit in a smear.
This is journalism ?
In Mississippi, such a charge would be unnecessary as Senator Thad Cochran, liberal Democrat turned liberal Republican, made that comment publicly, talking about himself.
I was going to post my opinion stand-alone, but Dr. Sivana's post dovetails nicely.
This is the national Republican Party's fault.
When the Alaska Democrats (and others) went after Sarah Palin using Alaska's loose state laws, the nationals just stood around with their things in their hands. They let the Dems chase Palin out of office, and stick her with the "failed, half-term governor" tag.
The Republican National was probably relieved to be rid of the "embarrassment", though it appears they miscalculated in that area. LOL! :)
What they needed to do, and didn't, was to do the Eliot Ness thing:
"He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue!"
The national Republicans absolutely had to hang a couple of powerful state Democrats (didn't matter which state - a couple of different states would have done nicely) from "legal troubles" lampposts with a "this is for Palin" sign around their necks.
They didn't. And now here we are, with the Demmies going after Scott Walker.
Do you think the Stupid Party will learn from this?
NO. These are the guys with a slam-dunk in the IRS email case, and they're sitting on their hands because it was the Hated Tea Party that got it.
I wash my hands of the GOP-e.
BTW - Gen.Blather is probably correct about the timing thing, but the overall plan is to "Palinize" Walker.
I diasagree that this is the fault of the (R)'s though, it's simply the MO of the left and it has worked against EVERY SINGLE (R) since W, and it was a method perfected against Palin.
It's what the totalitarian left does, they want to scorch the earth to get their way, and unfortunately it has worked for them. So far I don't see the (R)'s falling for it like they did with Palin, the (R)'s may be stupid and inept, but they're NOT going after Walker, like many on the right did with Palin.
Well worth the read, I’ve posted this article twice: http://legalinsurrection.com/2011/01/we-just-witnessed-the-medias-test-run-to-re-elect-barack-obama/
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
A recent poll showed great mistrust in the MSM for the bilge it’s pushing.
