Walker: The biggest flip flopper you will ever find?

The Iowa Republican ^ | March 10, 2015 | Craig Robinson, Former Iowa GOP Political Director

[Redleg Duke]

There you go, questioning the "Conservative Purists" who are totally invested in their own "Have our dicks cut off with dignity, rather than vote for anyone who isn't 100% of our definition of 'Pure'!"

We have two years of listening to them destroy anyone but their own, if that individual even exists, and then after they refuse to vote to "send a message", and the RAT they elected by not voting starts to run amok, they will whine and complain for another two years.

But, hey, they are "dickless with dignity!"

[TomGuy]

“Conservative Purists” ?

Maybe, but if you don’t look for the best candidate, you end up with those who are all things to all people and stand for nothing.

I asked the question in 2012 at the stage of 6 or so in the GOP debates: “Is this the best the GOP has? If so, they are in serious trouble.”

If you don’t expect better, you get another middle-of-the-road spineless also-ran.

Scott is smartly maneuvering his way through the presidential primary mine field. He will continue to deftly defy attempts to derail him. He is smart determined and courageous. Battle tested and hardened, he will has his eye on the prize and will be a major player to the end. Unlike Ben Carson who drove his new campaign bus over the cliff with one inelegant statement, Scott has an instinctive and crafty understanding how he needs to position himself. I look at the man as a whole, not a emoticon representation of this or that issue.

The long-term thinkers realise that you need to incrementally deal with policy changes so that you don't introduce massive dislocations that will often only make things worse...

What the loud-mouths on FR do not understand is that if you shifted this nation back to constitutional order overnight (even in a 1 year period) it would be the end of this nation....it would collapse.

We got into this mess through incrementalism and we can only get out through incrementalism.

The spoiled brats refuse to acknowledge that.

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, and in the meantime, do what you can to trash anyone who doesn't meet your exalted level of purity.

SSDD!

[Yashcheritsiy]

Bosh. You’re obviously just a GOP-er who wants to sell us all out to the UN.

/do I need it?

[Sam Gamgee]

Didn’t Romney basically lose Iowa because of ethanol? Seems Iowans like everyone else are on the take.

[TomGuy]

Yeah, and in the meantime, do what you can to trash anyone who doesn't meet your exalted level of purity.

Jumping on the bandwagon for anyone just because they claim to be Republican hasn't worked out so well.

Half of those R's already in Congress haven't worked out so well.

So, I wouldn't call it purity, but without some standard, look what you get. At the presidential level, 'it is his turn' hasn't produced many stellar candidates either.

SSDD?

[Din Maker]

I’ve said this before, and, I’ll say it again: Iowa farmers expose the political whores, early, every four years and narrow the field down for those of us who have Primaries later in the Election cycle.

[Din Maker]

I personally have never heard of Craig Robinson, and what gives him special standing that we should listen to?????
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I guess the same thing that gives Iowa the special standing to be the political power house that it is every four years by eliminating half of our candidates before the first Primary. The eliminated candidates are usually those who won’t bow the knee to the Ethanol god of Iowa.

I think we should have Regional Primaries; with no less than 10 States to a Region.

Turns out he’s a Paulestinian.

[cowboyusa]

Need to know how he stands on the NSA. Cruz and Paul are solid on that issue.
