counting the hours...big one for our side.
I’ll wager those who are attacking Scott Walker will do the same to Ted Cruz should he dare deviate from one position. Why don’t some of you pure breeds get out and run for office? Come on...show Walker and Cruz how it’s done!
Once again, we’ll destroy each and every potential candidate we have, then bitch about our nominee. We make the Left’s job so easy for them.
You bashing a great conservative like Walker; your purist act is getting stale. Your purist act meant to divide us imposed Obama on us
They fancy themselves Patriots doncha know.
exactly right. walker has all the marks of a true statesman. my def’n of a statesman: that’s a conservative politician or leader who uses every instrumentality at his disposal (including tactical compromise) to get the job done, within the moral, economic and political constraints set by the situation, all the while keeping the leftist wolf at bay. i hope i’m right because we are desperately in need of a statesman at this juncture in American history. and yes, he knows exactly what his legislature is doing at all times, and he has an excellent lt. gov. working for him as well.
Ronald Reagan was a very good example of a statesman.
Go Scott. Unions ie Mafia/ communists / thugs.
Very well said.
Walker is in the ring every day and he is stacking up wins over and over again in a place that that is one of the hardest to turn conservative. Walker is awesome.
Principles are important. I don’t want to vote for a guy who says he has to be elected to find out what his positions are. Too much Romney there.
Obama was elected because idiots nominated Mittens. Blaming principled conservatives for not voting for a lefty defies any sort of logic.
I want the left to lose. That cannot happen if the GOP does not nominate a staunch conservative
You are starting to read like a paid Putin troll on the Ukraine threads. Walker came out for ethanol mandates and is not strong on immigration. Pretending that he is perfect and beyond criticism makes me think something much worse is on the way.
Elect him before vetting him is the worst possible strategy
Pandering to big ethanol was so statesman-like. Not
I am very encouraged by the responses to SoConPubbie.
Stop the circular FR firing squad.
Walker is dismantling the Democrat money and muscle machine in WI [unions-university] - I expect that is what he will do if he's elected president.
Watch what a candidate does, not only what he says.
Haven't we heard farmers argue against all the EPA rules, regulations and paper work that was taking all their time [= money]?
March 7, 2015 - Farm Bureau, others question Scott Walker's proposed farm research cuts
"Researchers and supporters of a program that helps farmers run cleaner and more efficient operations say they were “stunned” and “blindsided” by Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal to cut a third of the project’s funding.
Discovery Farms, a UW-Extension program that dates to 2001, applies science from a “plows-on” level, evaluates and monitors efforts by state farmers to control runoff, calibrate fertilizer use and employ techniques to conserve land and water.
It has a $750,000 budget, of which $248,000 would be cut in the governor’s proposed state budget.
UW-Extension officials noted the loss affects longstanding projects and the ability of the small program to leverage crucial additional grants and funds.
“We would have a 1.2-employee reduction of staff and we would pull back some of our sampling efforts, water quality analysis and a project (set) for Rock County,” said Amber Radatz, project co-director.
The project’s programs include monitoring 20 state farms and educating thousands of farmers on conservation strategies.
“This was a big surprise to our agency partners as well as our partners in farm groups and in UW-Extension,” she said. “We never had an inkling.”
The $248,000 comes from a surcharge on farm chemical sales that would be discontinued."....
Walker announced Friday that he will sign the bill at Badger Meter in Brown Deer.
Badger Meter’s CEO and Chairman Rich Meeusen this week said passing the bill will lead to between 30 and 50 new jobs at his factory. He spoke out after a coalition of more than 400 businesses joined together in opposition to the proposal.
The Assembly passed it Friday morning on a party line vote with all Republicans in favor and all Democrats against.
“What we`re gonna be seeing is a weakening of the power of labor over the next couple years and along with that the weakening of the power of the Democratic Party.
It`s almost like what we`re seeing (Monday) is the moment Wisconsin becomes a Republican state,” UW-Milwaukee Professor Mordecai Lee said....." Source
Jesus Christ like purity perceived by you is all that is acceptable. Grasping at any contrary straw, you trash good conservatives for your narrow perception of what is conservatism
But I'm prepared for the likelihood that he will make some overtures to moderates and Reagan Democrats.
I suspect that you are not.....the first time Cruz says something that you don't agree with 100.000 percent, you'll yell "RINO!! Backstabber!!!" and turn away with a big ol' pout on your face.
Amazingly enough that article never mentions that Walker was one of the original sponsors of Right to Work in WI wwhile in the Legislature.
Of course this is the time in our political season at Free republic when the MSM suddenly becomes a viable news reporting agency.
u and the rest of you purists use liberal media slander to slander Walker who is the only hope for America and freedom as he is the only one who has won against the left
u purists gave us Obama now you ally yourself with the left and liberal news media to destroy Walker. you purists will deserve it when the democrats take all your property and rights for their welfare state.
u are a democrat mole
yes but they are just the lefts useful idiots
All on his own, huh? How?
