Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) delivers remarks at the Iowa Freedom Summit in Des Moines. He talks about his efforts to reform public sector unions in his state, and the resistance he encountered.

Thanks! That’s a GREAT way to start my day. :)
Walker: “GO BIG. GO BOLD. THE VOTERS WILL STAND UP WITH YOU!”
Love My Gov! PING!
I consider Walker a decent candidate, not as cowardly as Romney, he was willing to stay and risk getting recalled then voted out of office by some angry liberal unions. Romney gave up, Walker stayed. All those people who think Romney is still relevant need to recognize this: candidates at to wi elections, and primaries, an I don’t doubt for a second that Walker would bring this up against him.
Uht-Oh. He thanked people for praying for him and his family. He must be destroyed! /s
Glad he’s mentioning how the LefTards personally harassed, threatened with death and targeted him and his family. It was HELL around here for 18 months.
He is an amazingly brave man.
He would definitely be a bold and brave president.
I love Walker and would love to have him as President. As stated, he didn’t back down, wimper away like Romney when he was winning and beating Obama. What scars me is the big money machine from GOP funding Bush/Romney as Pres and VP and others like Walker and Cruz won’t be able to “fund” the campaign to win.
Money/funding is a serious factor. But didn’t you hear that he’s bought and paid for by the...wait for it...wait for it... EVIL KOCH BROTHERS?!?! *SMIRK*
Well, he just may be, but I don’t really care at this point. :)
walker gives a good reminder of how vile and intimidating leftists can be when their ox is really being gored.
I have the utmost respect for Scott Walker. I’m in MN and am jealous that you have such a GREAT governor.
BTW, my grand niece is the event scheduler at the governor’s office in Madison! Good for her, I say. She may find herself very busy in the next two years!
Re “evil Koch brother” - I saw that in that other thread and about laughed my butt off. Makes you ponder their other claims.
They’re ‘Chamber of Commerce’ guys, which we are supposed to hate, I think - I can’t keep it all straight, anymore. They’re AGAINST Collectivism and proudly say so, so that’s something. They’re also oil and beef cattle guys, but again, is that good or bad? LOL! :)

They have their fingers in a lot of pies, ‘Evil Capitalists’ that they are:

Great speech! Walker is as proven and battle-tested as any I’ve ever seen.
Actually, the “their other claims” I was referring to is the “shamnesty”, “gay marriage lover”, “open borders”, “union lover”, etc.
Come on, he once was asked if he supports a pathway to citizenship and he said yes, there should be a way for that. He didn’t say “open the borders”.
Or, he said the US supreme court has ruled, there is no appeal to that court, so we are not going to spend any more money fighting it. I guess he is a gay marriage support.
Strangely, they all share the same inaccurate or exaggerated talking points, and they all support Cruz. In my younger days I would judge a candidate by their supporters. League of Women voters support it? Well, I don’t.
You see this type of stuff on the religion boards here. Maybe this is a religion type of thing.
Exactly. He’s been thoroughly vetted. They’re not going to find anything on him, so they’ll just make stuff up. And he’ll call them on it - which is refreshing! :)
