Wow, you keep posting lies, though this is such a lengthy list full of I**& its hard to pick them out.
XXXXX Walker opposed conservatives’ efforts to defund Obamacare in September 2013...... (Washington Post)
But did lead the lawsuit to stop Obamacare
http://healthcarelawsuits.org/blog/detail.php?c=2390566&t=Wisconsin-Joins-Florida-Suit
XXXXX Instead of pushing for the outright removal of Common Core, Walker appointed a commission to recommend changes to Common Core standards to the Democrat Commissioner of Education. ......(State Journal)
Walker LINE ITEM VETOED common core in the Wisconsin budget.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3316741/posts
XXXXX Over the course of his two terms, state spending has increased under Walker. Total expenditures have risen from $40.1 billion in 2010 to $44.9 billion in 2014. This represents a 12 percent increase overall, outpacing both population growth (.94 percent) and inflation (8 percent)
Yes totally true spending increased. AND HE HAS PAID DOWN WISCONSIN DEBT, FILLED THE STATE RAINY DAY FUND AND GIVEN WISCONSIN TAXPAYERS 2 BILLION IN TAX CUTS.
——As Walker works with the legislature to craft the 2015-2016 budget, the state faces an estimated $283 million deficit. Walker has proposed delaying “more than $100 million in debt payments to balance the books.”...... (Bloomberg)
In November 2014, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the state’s bond rating from stable to positive. Moody’s also “affirmed the Aa2 rating on the state’s $7.7 billion in outstanding general obligations bonds.” (Moody’s).....
There you go with the ‘deficit’ LIE again JUST DAYS AFTER WALKER PASSED A BALANCED TWO YEAR BUDGET WITH A SMALL SURPLUS.

The Wisconsin bond rating is certainly not among the worst. We border Illinois, we know a financial shipwreck when we see it.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/best-worst-run-states-america-232000261.html
Walker has touted spending at the University of Wisconsin to build new agricultural programs, including a Meat Science and Muscle Biology center.......... (Gov. Walker’s Office)
Mooo. HE HAS PAID DOWN WISCONSIN DEBT, FILLED THE STATE RAINY DAY FUND AND GIVEN WISCONSIN TAXPAYERS 2 BILLION IN TAX CUTS.
Just the thing that all the Wisconsin drooling lefties say. Did you notice he won 3 elections because voters don’t care about his college career any more than they cared about Obama’s choom?
*****You keep posting lies*****
Careful there sgt....just because you think WAlker is high on conservative you need to check your own sources...these three agree with my source:
I don’t think I have ever been this impressed with a scorecard......Mark Levin
Pedal-to-the-metal...Rush Limbaugh
Likely to cause heartburn for the GOP establishment and Democratic Party....Breitbart.com
Many candidates and incumbents run as a conservative. Unfortunately, conservative voters have learned that conservative rhetoric does not always translate to conservative representation.
‘The Conservative Review Liberty Score’ grades members of Congress using long-term voting records.... A letter grade is assigned to each member to help you quickly determine if a lawmaker is ‘supporting conservative principles’..... The Liberty Score is one of the primary tools Conservative Review uses to help separate rhetoric from reality.
I rest my case.
Not interested in voting for Reince’s sock puppet. Nest.
The reason some see WAlker as “squishy” is because he is....you see through the eyes of state...we’re looking through the eyes of the entire nation....there is a difference no matter what he’s accomplished there.
Besides...he’s just not ready IMO.
He will never be ready.
I see nothing here factually disputing my responses to you.
Those quotes are nearly non-sensical.
How about this Rush Quote....
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, the Republican Party has a genuine star. The Republican Party has a demonstrated, genuine hero and potential star in its ranks, and he is the governor of Wisconsin. His name is Scott Walker. Scott Walker has won three out of four elections in the last five or six years, regular gubernatorial races and a couple of recalls. Every American labor union, every American labor union thug, a rigged judiciary, a rigged media. The Democrat Party has thrown everything they’ve got at Scott Walker, and he has beat them back without one syllable of complaint, without one ounce of whining.

“My reason for suggesting this is because we now have among us a great leader — a man who has demonstrated he’s a great leader, a man who took on the odds and won, a man who embraces the conservative movement, the tea party movement, the man who is leading the revolution for liberty and constitutional republicanism in this country,” Levin said. “It should seriously be considered. I can imagine Gov. Scott Walker as Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
There will be no time whatsoever for a learning curve in Washington...none....and he will most defiantly need that time.....Further he's just not where he needs to be to handle the International Climate... Walker’s foreign policy experience is ‘very’ minimal....which he's already shown weakness of in his speeches.
He may have done well in his state...which is pretty easy to do when it's in bad shape to begin with...but he's not near ready for a Presidential position IMO.
Remember, Cruz made the Iran deal possible...Cruz made the Obama trade deals (we haven’t seen yet) possible and Cruz favors work permits and a 500% increase in H1-B visas.
Please show me where Walker is anything but a true conservative.
Did Walker not support TPA enabling Obamatrade? Hire GOPe attack dog Dayspring for his Super Pac? Win Koch Bros. billionaire straw poll? Sorry, your boy Walker is GOPelite all the way. I wouldn’t trust him for a New York minute.
And soon to be Reince’s sock puppet.
“Remember, Cruz made the Iran deal possible...Cruz made the Obama trade deals (we haven’t seen yet) possible and Cruz favors work permits and a 500% increase in H1-B visas.”
I am stunned by your comments. How did Cruz make the Iran deal possible (and what do you mean by “possible”), because the “deal” has not been agreed to yet. And .. records show Cruz did not vote for the Trade deals - he changed his mind at the last minute - because McConnell lied to Cruz about what was in the trade deal.
As for H1-B visas: Do you even know what they’re about ..?? I used to process the paperwork for highly skilled engineers and physicists - people we could not find here in the USA - none of them had the amount of skill necessary to process silicon wafers.
If our manufacturing is to recover, we are going to need all those skilled workers to get these companies up and running. H1-B people are NEVER immigrants with no skills.
You’re spreading false information about Ted Cruz, and I’m calling you out for it. You are free not to vote for him; but you need to stop lying about him.
Reince, Ryan, Walker. What could possibly go wrong here?
“Cruz is nothing more than a good speech-giving Obama in conservative clothes. “
That’s the most nutty thing I’ve heard on FR this month.
Cruz and Obama both had track records before running for president. They are diametrically opposite.
Taxes - opposite
Immigration - opposite
Religious freedom - opposite
Health care - opposite
Abortion - opposite
Constitutionally limited federal government - opposite
Supreme Court role and criteria for nomination - opposite
Racial issues - opposite
Gun rights - opposite
Treating political opponents respectfully - opposite
Pro-America - opposite
Toleration and encouragement of government corruption - opposite
Military funding and strength - opposite
Deal-making with terrorist states - opposite
Support for Israel - opposite
Some around here are unhappy with some of Cruz’s foreign policy and accuse him of being a globalist. Personally, I have watched Cruz from his early career here in Texas and he has an incredible track record of conservatism.
I could definitely understand saying something like this about Trump, but Cruz? That’s just beyond ridiculous.
If what you are saying is true, why is Cruz so hated and despised by the left?
I agree with all your points.
Also that obama trade is the worse thing ever. It’s a trojan horse for unrestricted 3rd world immigration. this is in the millions of more immigrants.
I love Cruz but I still believe he is wrong about H1-B visas. They should be curtailed. When companies like Microsoft and Disney use them to gut their IT depts. and make those they lay-off train the foreigners who are replacing them, H1-Bs are being misused and over used.
These highly skilled, highly paid IT workers are fired to bring in cheaper foreign labor, nothing more. These foreigners are not even as skilled as the people they are replacing. They just accept less money to do the work. There were videos of law firms who coach these big companies on how skirt the law. If Cruz does not already know about this, he needs to learn fast. US citizens should not live in fear of losing their jobs to foreigners.
The visas I processed did not do those things. The company I worked for in the USA was a subsidiary of a Japanese company and they were sending employees from the parent company to teach the sub-company employees to produce the same products here in USA.
That is the true use of H1-B visas.
...”voters don’t care about Walkers college”.....
Oh we don’t? ....that he dropped out his senior year...That he says ‘if’ he wins the Presidency he would consider taking “on-line” courses to get his degree” as an example to young people. Yet he’s had two decades to do just that and didn’t?
Well I do care...I care about any man that would be running this nation as it’s President., and not just this nation but who would impact the entire world by his foreign policy’s which Walker is ‘very’ weak in.
If you think taking a round trip tour abroad is sufficient to enlighten WAlker on foreign matters then you really are lacking in judgement on what that really entails.
He is not ready....
The IT employees is not what Cruz is referencing. He understands there is an abuse of those.
