"The trick is to always look at the wife when gauging whether or not a male politician will hold true to his stated social values."

Good advice, I suspect.

Apparently Glenn Beck raised some little liberals too......not sure how that happens....none of mine ended up on the left....

[Lurkinanloomin]

Everything Matt Lewis writes should be taken with a boulder of salt.

[newgeezer]

Apparently Glenn Beck raised some little liberals too......not sure how that happens....none of mine ended up on the left....

I wonder if it's rebellion and more likely in a broken home.

These situations are totally foreign to me, too (so far, at least; our sons are 24, 22 and 14).

He’s been on the gay marriage bandwagon for some time....I’m not sure how warmed-over Washington conventional wisdom qualifies one as a columnist, especially at the Daily Caller, but Lewis endures for some odd reason.

[samtheman]

This is a non-issue for me. I don’t care if his wife has an opinion I disagree with. I care about his policy decisions as governor. He took on the unions. Good. He says nothing about “Wisconsin’s Shame”. Bad.

In this case, for me, the Bad outweighs the Good. In any case, it has nothing to do with his wife. At least for me.

This article is so unflattering of the Walker family that I decided not to post it. But here is my ping because somebody else posted it.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

They are saying Nancy Reagan was pro-abortion as first lady. Does anyone have a citation for that?

[stars & stripes forever]

First Ladies have an unfettered platform for their own views once they get into the White House. That is disturbing.

We’ve had too many moderate/liberal First Ladies in the White House.

Michelle Obama: pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion, school lunch overhaul;
Hillary Clinton: pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion, Hillarycare;
Laura Bush: Common Core, moderate/liberal social views; Barbara Bush: moderate/liberal social views.
Nancy Reagan: embraced fortune tellers and opened the door to the occult in high positions in government.

First Ladies also influenced their husbands to embrace moderate/liberal stances during their terms of office.

First Ladies as well as some of their children continue to leave their misguided imprints on American History.

I, for one, want a First Lady who is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ and who will stand for Traditional Family Values. 2016 is America’s last chance to get it right. This election is not about Republicans, Democrats, Independents. It is about the battle for the soul of American and a referendum if we can truly say “In God We Trust.”

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

As I recall, RR’s kids were pretty liberal as well.

I love Nancy, but she has never really been a movement conservative.

[for-q-clinton]

Well Reagan never would have won if we had to vote for Nancy. Or would we have to judge him based on his first wife?

"The trick is to always look at the wife when gauging whether or not a male politician will hold true to his stated social values." Good advice, I suspect.

That presupposes that the man is a metro-sexual weenie instead of an actual man.

I haven't seen any indication of Walker suffering that condition yet.

[Jim Noble]

Socons have lots of reasons to worry, the major one being that selection of Senators and Presidents is now done by idiots and whoremasters voting.

The dilemma that I see with socons is that they can prevent any Republican candidate from winning, but they can't (on their own) elect anybody.

[Arthur McGowan]

When a “pro-life” politician has a pro-abortion wife, he does a lot of little “pro-life” things, but does nothing serious.

[bkepley]

I’m not sure about Scott Walker anyway and don’t think he’ll get the nomination.

[Arthur McGowan]

After a whole lot of “research,” Beck sent his daughter to FORDHAM!!! What an idiot! She came out a liberal. Any blind and deaf Catholic could have told him any Jesuit-run school would turn his daughter lesbian and pro-abortion.

[DesertRhino]

Political bed warmers need to stfu. Military or political spouses who think they wear the same rank are annoying.

[dowcaet]

Two of Reagan’s kids turned out to be ultra liberal in Patti and Ron Jr. I think if you take an average household in America not everyone in the family is going to share the same view on every issue.

[C. Edmund Wright]

...and he didn’t help it any with his absurd “it’s not a right or left thing” comments- the ones he made every damned day on Fox.

Uh Glenn, it doggoned sure IS a right or left thing.

[Arthur McGowan]

Peggy Noonan wrote about that. It was no secret.
