Scott Walker: the new Thad Cochran
www.redstate.com ^ | 06/30/2015 | streiff

Posted on 06/30/2015 8:34:48 AM PDT by ctpsb

"Scott Walker just dropped off my list of acceptable candidates. I like a lot about Governor Walker but people are policy. And his decision to hire Brad Dayspring, an unprincipled political operative who combines viciousness and incompetence in equal measures tells us a lot."

Are key Republicans in Washington being blackmailed? Is there tea in China? Just do an internet search on Jack Ryan US Senate race Illinois. Obama and his criminal gang have been blackmailing political opponents for years. It's the Chicago way. Life imprisonment will be too good for this evil doer.

I am a strong supporter of honest, fair free trade with proper safeguards to protect American interests and prevent cheating and specified penalties for cheating etc, so I have no problem with Ted Cruz backing TPA. However when it turns out Obozo had made dishonest, backroom deals then it was time to withdraw all support.

So who’s on the ballot that you’re going to vote for?

“The equally odious Austin Barbour is working on Rick Perry’s campaign.”

I believe Perry also has Austin’s brother Henry working for him. People like Dayspring and the Barbour’s spare nothing against conservative Republican but are ineffectual against democrats and I believe it’s because they have the same corrupt goals where “croney capitalism” are involved and I believe t them money is more important than principles, ethics, morals, political philosophy, and our country and Constitution.

I am not against TPA in general, but I am against any authority being given Obama at all. On that basis I opposed TPA in this instance.

If Ted did not see it my way, or disagreed with my view, or saw it in some other way that I am not aware of, that is okay, I will forgive him for that.

Clearly, at the end of the TPA saga, it had become highly suspect, and the GOP’s behavior was suspicious IMO, so I am glad that he didn’t vote for it.

I wish it would have failed personally, but alas. I don’t think I am going to hold Ted responsible for its passage though, I think I will let that stain the GOP instead.

When I listen to Cruz speak, I do hear a man that I want to support, and so I will.

The other problem is that it appears nobody can seem to force Walker to actually announce he’s running. :-)

” If a candidate has an actual record of:

Getting his funding from people with agendas running contrary to conservatism...

Advocating ‘moving on’ after every loss to a liberal

Making excuses as to why we ‘can’t’ do something...

Regularly joins in on Gangs of whatever number to ‘work with’ liberals...

Supports causes openly that run contrary to conservative principle...

Then WTF do you people SUPPOSE is gonna happen when you send them to or back to DC? And why are you as a so called ‘Conservative’ supporting such a person? Obviously they are a Dem so the Dem ISN’T worse.

What? This isn’t rocket surgery folks.”

Actually, If one has a brain, you could stop with number one.

When we go to battle, we better want some mercenaries in the foxhole with us.

If we take apart our candidates because they have take no prisoner staff hires, well, we lose.

Hillary is not going to play by “rules.”

Do you live in Wisconsin? I don’t, but I have been following events there. I see a struggling economy under Walker. The jobs he promised have fallen far short of what he promised, about half.

In fact, Wisconsin is 50th in new business startups, 48th in salaries, 40th in job creation, and despite what Walker would like everyone to believe, is facing a huge budget deficit.

Wisconsin has been described as now being the “Mississippi” of the north.

More opposition posting from a Cruz supporter.

You don’t know, what you don’t know - and you don’t care.

These stats have been reported by Politico, Bloomberg, WSJ and others. Choose to ignore them, but eventually Walker will have to address them.

You can read what I’ve provided, or not.

I don’t think you want the truth, you only want anti-Walker talking points - as you’ve shown up until now.

Does that mean the Walker campaign will not be slipping dirt on Ted Cruz to Donald Trump, so Trump will run with it, leaving Walker with ostensibly clean hands?
