Sometimes, nothing is exactly what must be done (especially by government).

That is true. However, if you want to win elections, you need to make a convincing argument as to why doing nothing is best.

There was no reference to legal immigrants

There was. Listen to your own video you posted and he clearly says "I don't care where workers come from..." and rattles off the countries. In fact, the video is about immigrants who want to come here and work.

and he made clear statements concerning "those already here" and giving them a pathway to citizenship, and furthermore, he made very clear statements concerning border security, that you did not need to make it better if you just made it easier to get here.

But he clarified those statements today.

So you’re trying to bail out the credibility of the scum liars at the Hill because the Hill reported that Walker supports illegal aliens.

So?

What’s your point, SoConPubbie? You’re making zero sense by defending the neo-Nazi scum at the Hill and attacking Walker.

That's a distinction without difference.

It's a relevant comparison.

He stating polar opposite positions on the same policy.

No, he simply clarified his argument that what he was talking about was the immigration system as a whole need reform, and added that he opposes amnesty.

This is classic John McCain behavior.

The guy who kicked union ass and eliminated a $3 billion dollar debt has John McCain-type behaviors?

But he clarified those statements today.

No, he offered conflicting positions on the same policy question. He didn't clarify.

I doubt you listened to the whole video, because towards the end of the video, he clearly states he is in support of a pathway to citizenship for those here illegally. That is the definition of Amnesty.

I have to agree, Republicans shouldn’t be the party of no.

They should be the party of Hell No!

A great alternative to Obamacare was suggested by Ted Cruz and others, just let insurance be sold across state lines. Competition will improve things for everyone.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. 2016 is a long way off right now. And Walker might not even run for POTUS.

If he does run, he'll still be tons better than whatever turd sandwich the Dems put up, and he's been through the liberal fire.

I believe Walker to be Prevaricating.

Prevaricate—get out of telling truth: to avoid giving a direct and honest answer or opinion, or a clear and truthful account of a situation, especially by quibbling or being deliberately ambiguous or misleading

Walker is tacking “to the middle”, trying to position himself as as “moderate” as Christi but more accomplished, and doing so as part of perliminaries to announcing a 2016 POTUS run

I do not think Walker has what t takes upstairs to be President. I wish him luck with Wisconsin and hope he stays there.

Party of no? You betcha. Sometimes a parent has to say NO to their child, sometimes a girl has to say NO to her boyfriend, and sometimes a political party has to say NO to a bunch of faculty lounge theorists that think they are smarter than everyone, but are actually delusional.

He’s already shown that he is not. How many RINOs have to lose before a bull elephant with tusks and a willingness to use them shows the establishment how it’s done.

Libertarians could join Liberals and convince them to drop their financial issues.

“Walker, a potential presidential candidate in 2016, also told The Hill the GOP can shed its reputation as the “party of no” only if it offers creative alternatives to Democratic policies they oppose, like ObamaCare.”

THIS is a major part of the problem. We Never again need to offer dim lite garbage... we know the problems and we need to be proactive with Conservative plans and when they work we contrast our way with the way of failure. Walker sounds like a loser and a follower. Reagan would have never said, “I offer my version of a rat plan”.

Scottie, let me get the doggie-poo bag and clean up after you.

Good boy. Now LISTEN:

First correction cleanup: The GOP will never overcome its Leftstream Media “ - - - reputation as the “party of no” only if it offers creative alternatives to Democratic policies they oppose, like ObamaCare. - - - - .”

Playing by the Rules of the Leftstream Media only makes RINOs like yourself “Democrat-Lite.”

Okay Scottie-dog, try again by making a statement that you proves that you have learned SOMETHING from the failed RINO Way of Dole, McCain and ‘Romneycare’ Romney.
