Scott Walker, God's Gift to the Democratic Party
Rolling Stone ^ | February 27, 2015 | Matt Taibbi

Posted on 02/27/2015 12:08:09 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

"....Scott Walker as a political performer is pretty uninspiring. He doesn't have George Bush's pretzel-mouthed Texas charm or Sarah Palin's hockey Mom magnetism. He can't fall back on an ethnic American dream parable like the one Marco Rubio can run on. He's just a doughy, finger-pointing white guy of the type the Republican Party has been churning out to fill state assembly seats or run in back-bench congressional districts seemingly since the beginning of time. He's exactly the kind of politician the modern Democratic Party is set up to beat...."

"A Time for Choosing" by Ronald Reagan 1964

He could change a few words and give this same speech today.

What's the white population, like 75%?

Don't think so.

Between abortion, and the unimpeded stampede of the third world across our borders since 1965, the percentage of white Americans has shrunk considerably. I'd be surprised if it's even 60% these days.

And let me add that it's not just 'white' Americans. It's Americans of all genetic backgrounds, who love and honor these United States.

I really wish I could ask this pos a simple question: if the modern Democrat Party is set up to beat guy’s like Walker, why weren’t they able to, in a deep Blue state, after being given three chances in the last four years?

He’s not gay but he is a commie.

Hey, Matt...I learned how to counteract reverse psychology when I was like 6.

Bingo.

If Rolling Stone hates the guy, you KNOW he is doing something right.

How many Republicans read this tired old Leftist dreck? Next to zero, I’d guess. Poor devils trying to be relevant when they are only a step ahead of the Grim Reaper.

re: “He’s exactly the kind of politician the modern Democratic Party is set up to beat....”

If this liberal really believed that, why say anything? Why give warning? That’s kind of stupid. Saying it after Walker is trounced (hypothetically) after the election would be the proper time to mention it.

It’s like others have said, the left will tell you who they fear the most.

Speaking of lesbians, they’ve got a new member in Bruce Jenner, he still likes the ladies.

lol - typical. The left will praise those they think they can beat and demonize those they don’t. It’s just become too transparent.

Reagan’s 1980 convention acceptance speech is a great one as well. When he spoke of compassion and bringing all Americans together for common greatness, he meant it.

On TV, in the few clips I’ve seen, he seems very unsure of himself, and camera shy.

I've observed the same thing about Scott Walker for some time. The man doesn't seem to be an extrovert, which is a signatory personal attribute that is absolutely essential in a leader.

Thank you!

Ronald Reagan: “....My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view. The American people, the most generous on earth, who created the highest standard of living, are not going to accept the notion that we can only make a better world for others by moving backwards ourselves. Those who believe we can have no business leading the nation....”

And let’s not forget, he gave that speech in Detroit and was speaking largely to them.

He's just a doughy, finger-pointing white guy...

LOL! Oh, Matt, buddy...take a look in the mirror some time. Self-parody is the cruelest parody of all.

The left is so used to picking our candidates they’re melting down.

Usually, once the Obama party starts criticizing our guys, we just politely dump them. Not this time, guys. After 2012, lessons learned on your hype. We’ll pick our own candidate this time.

Speaking of which, do conservatives have anyone to take McCain down in 2016? He’s taking a page from Graham’s book and putting in a couple of years prep.

I bet the Rolling Stone said the same thing about Ronald Reagan in 1980.

That is exactly how it needs to be done.

Obama and Holder and their ilk have done their best to divide us up into every conceivable difference and then try to make us tear each other apart - for their power grab.
