I guess jumping in from the side puts the actual point at an oblique, hard to hit angle.
The guy I posted to was pretty much saying that because Walker has been reorganizing his thought process on immigration (all in the right direction) he is not to be trusted.
I merely pointed out that Reagan, having started as a democrat, also changed his thought process (did not think it necessary to grab one by the hand to drag them to the point.
As always, good to see the "expert" chip firmly perched on the epaulet.
So I ask you what some changing from supporting the democrats in the 1930s and 1940s to supporting republicans in the 1950s and becoming a conservative icon before he even ran for his first office, has to do with a politician switching on his fundamental positions in 2015?
The Romney nuts use to try the Reagan thing, not realizing how bizarre it is to point out that someone was a democrat at a time before all the political changes since WWII, versus Romney who was a liberal AFTER all those battles and until he was ready to run for president in 2006, after the 1960s, Vietnam, LBJ, the great society, Roe v Wade, Carter, the Reagan Revolution, the Cold War, the abortion wars, he was voting against Reagan, voting democrat in 1992, and fund raising for Planned parenthood, Romney was passionately promoting abortion and radical homosexual politics when George W was running for reelection and Romney was almost 60..
You aren’t pointing out that Walker held some immigration views from distant eras past, Walker wasn’t even born until after the 1965 Immigration Act, and has been in elective politics since 1990 and running for office and holding office during decades of the intense immigration battles, yet here he is currently making switches in 2015 as a Governor and Presidential candidate.
What does this have to do with anything from the 1930s and 1940s?
