Scott Walker; Sure, Obama loves his country

Gov. Scott Walker still hasn't spoken with President Barack Obama about the president's love for America, but the possible contender for the Republican nomination now has an opinion on the subject.

Wisconsin's governor tells "Fox News Sunday" that Obama or "anybody else who is willing to put their name on the ballot certainly has to have the love for country to do that."

"We're just invisible to the MSM ..."

Uh, I beg to differ.
No, we're NOT invisible to the LAME Stream Media.
But they're trying to make us that way.

But they're LOSING, and BADLY.
Every day, more and more people are tuning them OFF, and tuning us ON.

Do you thing Free Republic is getting smaller?
Do you think 'The Blaze Network" is getting smaller?
Obama and the DemocRATS are expanding their LAWLESSNESS against us, and spreading the Constitution in the process.

So NO !
Our VISIBILITY to the LAME Stream Media is getting LARGER every day.
It BURNS their PRIDE, that they are becoming LESS EFFECTIVE with every second that passes.
Their end is VERY NEAR !

Once the primary is done, and a Republican candidate is selected, I'm going to vote for him, no matter what.

And if in 2016, the Republican is a weak sister who compromises into being a functional Democrat, as in the past two (at least!) presidential races, then your vote will probably represent a minority, and so your candidate will probably lose, and the Democrat will win by default and fraud.

"We won't survive another four years of [insert Democrat here]" may someday have merit, but for the past 30-odd years I've been hearing it, it has always failed. Fear is a bad voting guide.

[Finny]

Amen, I hope you’re right!

CORRECTION:

... the military briefed its members to “NOT enrolled ENROLL OR subscribe to it” because it was a government data collection source, the same as Twitter.

Since I updated to "Yosemite", my autocorrect sometimes does word replacement that I don't want it to do.

Sorry, I didn't catch it the first time.

Excellent post!

Yes, because people like you stayed home rather than vote for anybody who did not meet your standards of perfection.

Ping!

It makes sense if you think about it. Speech they don’t want to hear is “hate speech” aka “abuse”. It’s why we have “hate crimes”. Theirs is a rarefied alternate reality in which reality itself is unwelcome.

Just like Michael Moore loves doughnuts.

No, we just didn't meet the level of moral compromise and selling out our principles in order to be able to hold our noses and vote for a turd like Mitt Romney, who ,BTW, supported the following:

1. Gay Marriage
2. Abortion in the cases of Rape, Incest, Life AND HEALTH of the mother
3. Gays in the Boy Scouts
4. Gays in the Military
5. Gay Adoption
6. Amnesty


And that's the short list.

Your problem, with your line of reasoning, is that you don't care if your candidate comes even close to representing your values, just so long as he/she has an 'R' next to their name.

Mitt Romney did not represent conservatives at all.

His campaign motto to conservatives was "Where else are you going to go?!"

[Vigilanteman]

Yeah, I thought about that. Seriously. But when you get to that bottom feeding level of lowlifes, I don’t think it is necessary to distinguish between the two.

Stop confusing intentions with actions.

When you voted for liberal Romney, you intended to move things right, but you acted to move them left.

When I voted for Tom Hoefling, I intended to deprive giving liberals the power of my endorsement, and I acted to deprive them of that endorsement. I intended to prevent things from moving further left, and I acted to keep things from moving further left.

Own what you voted for, please, STOP confusing your intentions with your actions, and acknowledge that you intend deliberate insult when you accuse me and others of rejecting Romney because we wanted "perfection." It is a lie, and you know it is a lie (as well as an insult, as only an idiot seeks perfection in politics). That you have to lie to yourself and others to justify your actions (voting for a liberal like Romney) should be a red flag to you.

Thanks!
Yep, auto-correct sux.

Ted Cruz has repeatedly said that this pResident does NOT love this country if he wants to “fundamentally change” the USA. I admire Scott Walker and Ted Cruz, but one thing about Ted Cruz is the fact he speaks his mind, and fears no one. I don't understand why Walker waffled on the question about obozo’s love for this country. I'm also concerned that Walker recently changed his mind about approving amnesty, and now says that he is against it. I believe he did so because he knows the Conservative voter won't vote for a candidate who does approve of amnesty. I want to see a Conservative candidate who stands firm in both words and actions on what he believes in, and Cruz has proven time and again that he does stand firm and fears no one, make an excellent presentation, is a Constitutional scholar, and is continuously pushing out bills that will benefit this country..he continues to fight for US in his position as Senator.

This is a chess game. The press has been goading Walker since he became a contender. They are looking for a sound bite and to get him off message. He’s not biting and that’s a good thing.

[Yosemitest]

Thank you, for catching that “confusion” ... that I missed.

[AlanGreenSpam]

Yah, but Cruz isn’t articulate or sophisticated in the way I would like to see. He’s no Reagan. I spent 15 minutes chatting with Reagan once and maybe I have high standards in hoping that we can get someone like him.

Of course, would love to have a Trey Gowdy run. He’s like the best junkyard dog we could have. Never afraid to speak his mind and astoundingly articulate.

[napscoordinator]

Walker is being a coward. He is afraid to speak his mind.

Complete and utter BS on your part. What is not to like about America from Obama’s part.....travel everywhere.....meet a bunch of adoring fans......eat at the swankiest eateries.....golf whenever he wants.......I think Walker was spot on.

[napscoordinator]

I don’t trust this guy.

I know what you mean. It sucks having a candidate that gets things done and just doesn’t speak in platitudes like most of them do. Go ahead and support your candidate who hasn’t done a damn thing but let the candidate who has actually made things better for his state kick to the curb. That is so dumb. Of course you guys were slobbering all over Romney after the nomination too.
