We need a candidate who will courageously and unapologetically stand up for conservative principles. At the very least, we need a candidate who is not afraid to “tell it like it is”. Walker is not that candidate.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you here, at least in regard to the two topics you mentioned. There is absolutely no reason for Walker or any other candidate to allow themselves to get pulled into these traps by the media. What Walker thinks about evolution (does he believe in creationism, Darwinism, Intelligent Design) or his opinion on what Giuliani said about Obama has absolutely no bearing on what kind of president he would be, and to engage in those conversations is just to allow the press to find something to beat him up with.

Walker is not my first choice, and I would need to find out a lot more about his positions on issues that would actually be affected by him being president before supporting him. But there are definitely things to like about him, and his wisdom in dealing with the press is one of them.

I agree. When the Left is reduced to arguing that a candidate (always a GOP candidate) won’t answer the question, or won’t say something to contradict another Republican, then the Left is clearly running low on ammunition. Why change tactics and resupply them?

Besides, Walker knows full well that most of the GOP has been saying the same thing about President Obama for years now. Our President is simply not on our side, and by “our” I mean America’s side.

Incidentally, I probably saw this a few years ago, but forgot it, then just saw it again today:

The letters in “President Barack Obama” also spell out “An Arab Backed Imposter”

Seems more likely every day...
