I hope that this turns out to be not true. Really. But why would the Wall Street Journal staff, who are by-and-large pro-amnesty, throw him under the bus? For Jeb?

Until I see Walker put forth bills showing that he is for amnesty, I will continued to 100 percent support him. This is the Governor who TOOK AWAY in state tuition to illegals.....a rare occurrence now a days. We so desperately need Walker as President. I know you believe that we need Cruz desperately....well maybe we need them both. Neither one are villains regardless of how the media makes them seem like one.

Well there are a myriad of sources that would love to destroy each and every GOP candidate for president save one, Jeb Bush.

So I guess we'd better get used to seeing these hit pieces and not shoot from the hip until things are checked out.

I need a little more proof. Hope it isn’t so.

My guess is that the WSJ, like every other media outlet, received that memo from the liberal Republican hierarchy telling them that Jeb is the anointed candidate, so they had better do their part to trash all the other candidates.

“We strongly dispute this account,” she said in a statement. “Governor Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed. His position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false”.


We’ll see. This stated position is still fairly new. His position has changed, he said so himself. What they are worried about here is it makes it look like a flip flop flip. That he does not mean it when he says he will follow the rule of law if elected, enforcement means deportation for those who don’t leave voluntarily.

“This month”, as in not sometime in the distant past. That is a problem. If Walker cannot be trusted to be honest and have same view in public as he does in private, to be candid, he has no place as a candidate. And supporting amnesty, that is a complete deal breaker. Guess he should settle in and enjoy his success as Wisconsin governor. Because, if true, I will not vote or support him any more than I would Bush, Rubio, Christy, and any other candidate that accepts and supports amnesty.

I’ve been supporting Walker since he first ran for County Exec in Milwaukee. Until he flipped TO THE RIGHT SIDE, I never knew he was pro-amnesty. It was never one of his signature stances.

That is my take, Vet, exactly. It’s all for Jeb. Jeb is struggling until some of these hot wheels are taken down to level the field for him. National Review is not your dad’s magazine anymore. RIP, Buckley.

I’m a strong Sen Cruz supporter.

Gov. Walker is my backup choice but I have strong doubts on a few issues, immigration being the top one.

That said, if his camp is denying he said it and his accusers are refusing to identify themselves, then I’ll give Gov. Walker the benefit of the doubt.

Here’s the thing, though. This story will evolve. There were more than three people in the room. If Gov. Walker says it didn’t happen, how difficult will it be to trot out other attendees to confirm his version of events?

Either way, you can be sure more attendees, people willing to put their name to their version of what was said, will surface.

Not only that. Events like these always have a recorder going in a smart phone universe. A recording is almost certainly out there. Somewhere.

Probably is, I have been telling YOU ALL that Scott Walker isn’t really a conservative. Why choose a RINO over fear of Jeb..?

If Walker said this and there’s confirmation of it he’s toast. If not, you all better be prepared for a smear job on Cruz by Jeb supporters who are pulling out all the stops now to rescue his slowly sinking campaign.

I have not read any of the above, although I can surmise most of it says that Scott Walker is bad because he once said something bout amnesty that could be construed either way. He is not a pure conservative.

I do not support candidates based on what they say, but on what they do. Scott Walker in the face of much adversity has stood up to unions and other liberal thugs in Wisconsin. For that I give him much kudos as he begins a quest for the US Presidency.

For god sakes folks, don’t base your support of any candidate on one aspect of their platform or any statements they make. There is no pure candidate.

I know Cruz is very vocal about stopping amnesty - has he vocalized anything about deportation of all potential amnesty candidates?

I think many are making too much of some of the past comments of Walker and not really thinking it through - who out there, in politics, has called for a mass deportation?
