Scott Walker: W. Without the Compassion "While it’s becoming common to hear Scott Walker dismissed as a flash-in-the-pan or Flavor of the Month or Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time gaffmeister sure to be pushed aside to make way for Jeb’s Brinks truck of cash or Rubio’s glamor, there are less-apparent aspects of his appeal worth noting. That intrepid translator of the Christian Right’s codes, Sarah Posner, has a fascinating take at Religion Dispatches about Walker perfectly matching a growing mood among politically active conservative evangelicals who want a less showy but more reliable champion:........"

Love My Gov! :)

As it happens, Walker’s chapter offering prescriptions for America closely mirrors the stump speech he has been delivering lately (including in — ahem — Iowa), but there’s a good reason for that: It is an effective speech, and he has the gravitas to deliver it. When Walker urges conservatives to show up in the inner city more often and spread the free-market message there, he knows it works because he has done it: In being elected and twice reelected Milwaukee County executive, he routinely won the City of Milwaukee’s Hispanic wards and overperformed in other majority-minority areas, where he talked of entrepreneurship and school choice. Walker recommends that conservatives talk more of “fairness” in order to avoid being accused of being tied to “big business” and “the rich.”

AND LIBERALS ARE PULLING THEIR HAIR OUT!

This 3:00 exchange between "Julie in Green Bay, WI" and Thom Hartmann, [a liberal radio talk show host] typifies how the Left is shocked that poor people have STAND WITH WALKER signs in their yards. "Julie" uses Scott Walker's success to frame her question and make her points about voters [politics, guns, poverty, abortion, the church]. Of course Fox News and ignorance is tossed in - as is letting the listeners know that she's a UW-M graduate.

You shouldn’t be posting positive articles about Scott Walker because you might piss off the Cruzers around here.

On the evening of June 5, 2012, after he had been declared the winner of a historic recall election, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker hugged his friend Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus...

So he's best buds with the head of the RNC.

Translation: RNC = GOPe

This does not help Walker one stinkin' bit with me.

Any vision of America must be adjusted by considering the negative impact of Islam on its society.

Take a look at what is happening in the world.

Seen anything positive in those parts where Islam is firmly established?

[DoughtyOne]

Here we go again, early evidence that this election's blocker will be none other than the RNC's big bud, Scott Walker.

He'll be hawked as the leading Conservative by folks who don't do a lick of thinking before they are all-in, and won't listen to anyone who tries to warn them.

If this guy is connected at the hip to Reince Priebus, it says he is on the same page with him.

Does anyone jumping up and down for Scott realize that the agenda of the RNC is?

GOPe! GOPe! GOPe! GOPe! GOPe! GOPe! GOPe! GOPe!

For heaven's sake folks, please think!!!!

They grew up near each other.

They're both from WI.

The vote went for Walker after months of protests.

They hugged.

Get over it.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m not getting over it, not by a long shot.

You don’t call someone like that Priebus rat dropping up front unless you like the guy.

You get over it.

This tells me Walker is a one perhaps two issue RNC stooge.

Now, you get over it.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

My such phony, opposition outrage.

You’re cute.

: )

[DoughtyOne]

Last time you were hawking that looser from Texas. Now it’s Walker.

In your own post you provide information that easily tosses Walker into high risk category for Conservatives, and you don’t even realize it.

[DoughtyOne]

Dismiss me if you like. You can’t dismiss the facts.

Rince Priebus is an open borders supporting enemy of Conservatives.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I’m not posting to threads knocking your candidate (whoever it is).

You’ve had your say, and them some (even managed to even be insulting) so you’ve done your civic duty and can move on.

[lentulusgracchus]

Yeah. I noticed that. <squint>

If Walker is stealth GOP-e like Marco Rubio (and hell, Karl Rove might have recruited up a whole mess of them in 2010, like Rahm did to purple-district voters in 2006, to get control of the House and Senate), then Walker's union-fighting has to be seen in a whole new light, maybe as old-fashioned Chamber of Commerce union-busting.

Comments?

I mean, I hope he's really a conservative .... not an "economic conservative" which = GOP-e.
