Conservatives should be worried that Walker

The money quote from the article.

This guy is a concern troll, pure and simple. I know what I'd do if he were a poster on FR.

Sorry matt, but that was exactly the right answer to the "how about you & him fight?" question. As was his refusal to be sidetracked by the evolution question. Walker is playing chess to your tiddly-winks.

In 2007 Obama was asked about his stance on abortion. He said ‘that’s above my pay grade’. Seriously, that was his answer, and the media never asked him a single abortion question after that.

Question: Why is it so damned difficult for someone to say that Obama is a Christian who loves America—and he also happens to have been a really bad president? Why not grant him this small concession?

MEMO TO AUTHOR: Mr. Lewis, the reason that we don't grant this concession is because of considerable evidence to the contrary. And if you would take your left hand, reach over your head, and pull hard on your right ear, you might extract your head from your backside long enough to see that evidence.

When Liberal Rags bemoan that a conservative is doing damage to their campaign: they are not doing it out of being nice but instead they are trying to drive a wedge between the Conservatives and their candidate. They do this by trying to manipulate the candidate away from their conservative base by appealing tot he “popularity game” that high school girls play to pick on each other.

Does it matter if Obama is a Christian or not?

Why, yes...yes it does.

No, but it matters how Republicans answer stupid questions like that.

Not a stupid question...it goes to his state of mind...and his state of mind definitely matters to not only Republicans, but Democrats as well.

Why?

"Cause if we gots a muslim prez...then we gots treason.

Pure and simple.

But I know the answer to the question...I've always known it and you, dear reader, know it too.

Quit kidding yourself...he's a damned worthless mohametan.

Impeach his ass now!

IOW, to play the politically correct game, he should lie.

What did the media expect Walker to do, lie to protect Obama?

The man or woman who would stand up and call Obama out as an evil monster and the farthest thing from a Christian would run away with the election.

Matt Lewis has been on the payroll of The Cheap Labor Express since he was on TownHall. Everything he writes is suspect.

The Daily Beast writes their headlines with the assumption that their readers won’t bother reading the actual article.

If obama called himself a Christian, considering his veracity, how could anyone say with any degree of certainty that he was, indeed, a Christian?

Oh no! The media tried to ambush the conservative candidate and he didn’t play according to script! How dare he not shoot himself in the foot on cue!

If I were to be asked that, I’d just respond, “Obama’s a floater.... Next question”. But then, I’m not a politician. I’m free to speak my mind and to tell all the truth that people listening can handle.

So this guy is saying that Walker should be disqualified because he didn't spin the question the way he would have spun the question?

Truth be told, I would have spun the question differently than Walker also.

I would have said, "I suppose Obama considers himself a Christian because he was a member of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's mega church in Chicago for 20 years."
