Put our own troops in Syria to do what? Go after Assad? That’s absurd on all sorts of levels. Do we really want to have a direct confrontation on the ground that will bring Putin in to defend his ally? Dumb Dumb Dumb. US/EU/NATO/Turkey are mucking this up intentionally. Why???? No more lives and limbs of our soldiers over intentional mayhem.

The CiC should NEVER rule out any military options.

Duh. Why would you ever take that option off the table? Of course, he can’t just say he’d bomb them to death.

Are the media even aware of black lives when they’re not being killed by whites?

I mean this is worse than anything that went on in Rhodesia or South Africa and you barely hear about it.

Obama’s Presidency has been a disaster for blacks, domestically and internationally.

I will go with Cruz if you tell me what he has accomplished.....actually bills that were signed by the President that he authored. I will give you the results of Walker too after you give me Cruz.

I think we need a Conservative with military experience to provide leadership during the current would crises.

And I think we'll need a Conservative woman if we're going to win the White House.

This is why I'm pushing for Ernst. I hope she's interested.

Gov. Scott Walker Wouldn’t Rule Out U.S. Boots on the Ground In Syria”

Which is VERY different from the GOPe, who have said this:

“We Rule Out Impeachment”

Who is the crazy one of the two, the guy who leaves options open, or those who take their only real weapon off the table?

He shouldn’t take anything off the table when dealing with terrorists and other adversaries.

Oh Cmon Walker is all over the place. His stance on immigration is still a little hazy for me. He thinks Paul RINO Ryan is a budget wizard. NOt. He now thinks it might be a good idea to put boots on the ground in Syria.

I think maybe Scott Walker should just stay the Governor of Wisconsin for awhile.

I agree with him on Syria and I agree with him on Ryan’s stupid budget. Immigration I don’t agree with him over but I figure it will be a dead issued by 2016.

Walker is an idiot! Easy to send your son to war as it’s no skin off his nose. The only boot should be the one he pulls out of his $ss for being stupid.

Well if you think Ryan’s budget is stupid which by the way it is why do you agree with it.

I think we should try to avoid boots on the ground. Still, we may need to go fight ISIS. Sen. Rand Paul wants to declare war on them, and I agree that we should get a declaration rather than fight an undeclared war.

I don’t appreciate him screwing with the military retirees. Sometimes I wonder if the Republicans are really for the troops....also wants to take a bunch of funding from the commissaries. I can’t stand him.

Paul Ryan got Mittens all into investing in WI politics, and especially Walker. Notice Walker beat back the left, Unions in recalls in a blue state? Did he do that with WI donors and lawyers?

Doubt it. Being groomed over the last two years, if all his support came from Wisconsinites, they would have NOT voted for zero in ‘12.

Is Walker a ‘produced’ candidate?
