British interviewer: "Are you comfortable with the idea of evolution? Do you believe in it? Do you accept it?"
Scott Walker: “I’m going to punt on that one as well. That’s a question a politician shouldn’t be involved in one way or another."
Walker tweet after: "Both science & my faith dictate my belief that we are created by God. I believe faith & science are compatible and go hand in hand.
So Howard Dean [what a loser] decides to paint Walker as, "unknowledgeable" about the world and about science.
However, from what I've been able to garner, Scott Walker didn't finish his degree because he had a job and went into politics. Oh! And there's that other consideration, getting married and starting a family. [He married a widow 12 years older than he is and they decided to start a family ASAP.] Walker describes it nicely in this talk to the Christian Businessman's Committee in Madison, WI.
Script:
Wizard: Why, anybody can have a brain. That’s a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth—or slinks through slimy seas has a brain!
MCU—Wizard—shooting past the Scarecrow at right—
Wizard: From the rock-bound coast of Maine to the Sun…oh-oh, no----ah –Well, be that as it may. Back where I come from we have universities, seats of great learning—where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts—and with no more brains than you have…But! They have one thing you haven’t got! A diploma!
MS—The Wizard reaches back and obtains several diplomas—selecting one and presents it to the Scarecrow as Dorothy, Tin Man and the Lion look on—
Wizard: Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universitatus Committeeatum e plurbis unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of Th.D.
Scarecrow: Th.D.?
MCU—Wizard—shooting past the Scarecrow at right—
Wizard: Yeah—that, that’s Dr. of Thinkology!
CU—The Scarecrow recites the Pythagoras Theorem—reacts with joy—
Scarecrow: The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh joy, rapture! I’ve got a brain!....

A snippet from the Washington Post piece that is getting so much coverage: "....“I thought that the guy was too nice to ever be successful in politics,” Satran said. Now, Walker is governor, and Satran — having worked in politics for years — is a bartender at J. Paul’s in Georgetown. “Turns out I was wrong.”....
Scott Walke’s answer to the evo/crevo question was perfect. And you can tell it was because it blew the fool Dean right out from behind his faux façade.
Sounds like Walker doesn’t want to play the MSM stupid gotcha game.
Too bad the debate moderators never asked Obama "Are you comfortable with your professing that you are a born again Christian? Do you really believe Jesus Christ is resurrected from the dead? Why do you claim He is not the only way to salvation?"
"Are you comfortable with the idea of Marxism? Do you believe in it? Do you plan to implement it on the installment plan?"
Like coward dean has room to talk. His narratives and yee haws simply prove that having passed all the required courses in a university setting does NOT convey any sort of credible intelligence to any particular individual. You can’t teach common sense, the one word kind, or class. So coward dean, yee awww. Not all MD’s finsh at the top of the class either.
I believe in evolution. I’ve seen Howard Dean evolve into a Yahoo.
Its an idiotic question that has nothing to do with anything a president should have to deal with.
The simple fact is that thoughts on creationism and evolution are far more diverse on the right than they are on the left.
It is unfortunate that there is only one marginal station on which conservatives can talk politics in a civil way and it is Fox News. And the queue would have to be long to do that, if true. So our candidates are “forced” to go on these other hostile stations to get their word out. On the flip side, if they can’t deal with the libtards, they prolly shouldn’t be in politics anyway.
I actually find it refreshing that he believes politicians are not qualified to try and solve ALL of life’s problems and mysteries.
Scott Walker: “I’m going to punt on that one as well. That’s a question a politician shouldn’t be involved in one way or another.”
Yep, “sorry - not gonna play your game. Do you have a RELEVANT question for me?”
Democrats are lemmings. They let someone else do their thinking for them. Dean is symptomatic of this ditch mentality. He has swallowed all the lies and is now a dead soul impossible to revive. Scott Walker, on the other hand, shows his mental prowess by side stepping the gotcha question so nimbly. His answer was Reaganesque.
IE, Man is not God.
Ah, the old “he doesn’t have a college degree” attack.
I think that will backfire on the Dems. Only 29% of Americans have a Bachelor-level degree or higher.
Walker and Cruz are the real deal. They are the top two nominees that we need to push in the primaries they believe in small government, the constitution and rule of law. We must band together and keep the RINOS out. Walker is a one man liberal wrecking crew. Liberals are scared to death of him because he is so effective and telegenic.
“Howard Dean loses it”
Don’t ya have to ‘have it” before you can loose it?
“Sounds like Walker doesn’t want to play the MSM stupid gotcha game.”
And that needs to continue.
Duncan Hunter Sr gave a great answer to the same idiotic question in 08.
He basically said he believes that God is the creator of the universe but there are differing opinions on the method God used and he isn’t concerned with how God did it or how long it took.
The best fantasy answer if seen was.
I used to believe in evolution but since meeting you I’m not so sure.
