I thought I saw an article here yesterday saying that Walker told the Iowa farmers, “Sorry, but I no longer can support the ethanol subsidy,” or words to that effect.

I’m not a great Scott Walker fan, but I suspect that this article may be full of lies. It wouldn’t surprise me if the author is a Bush supporter.

Two basic rules on flip flopping (or evolving as they now call it):

1) Nearly all politicians flip flop.

2) When a politician is flipping in YOUR direction, never complain about it.

His top-level “advisors” may have painted him in a corner, very disappointing. I’m backing Cruz first now. Not sure what is going on with Walker but I did hear he got some advisers that may have been steering him in this direction.

Walker has some time to explain himself. And these apparent flip flops need some explaining.

We’re thinking people here in the conservative movement. Let’s hear what he has to say.

But right now, the onus is on Walker to explain.

I’m listening.

Be brief, be concise, be convincing, and never vary again.

Nobody but corn farmers are going to vote based on ethanol mandates. I don’t like them, but on the scale of importance, it’s about .5 out of 10. As for immigration and right to work, it’s only a flip-flop if he changes back. I never criticize someone for moving to my side.

I know this is just a hit piece, but even before this screed, I did not appreciate Walker flipping on ethanol for his audience. It's a bad sign.

Ethanol is a big government boondoogle and he knows it, as a conservative he has no need to couch that fact in any way.

I'd rather have a GOP candidate that's seen the light rather than living in darkness for another four years.

Walker didn’t flip-flop on union busting and doing so may have spared him many a sleepless night.

Walker didn’t flip-flop on Abortion. He cut off funding for PP.

Walker doesn’t walk on water, but he has a record f legitimate Conservative accomplishments in a Blue state.

Cruz is a first choice for me, but I would be more than comfortable with Walker.

Cruz, Cruz . I worship the Cruz.

Bush bush, I worship bush

Paul, paul, I worship Paul.

I wish the celebrity worship would go away. I see the same mames making excuseses for candidates in one thread and bashing another in another. STOP THE POLITICAL WORSIP OF YOUR EMPLOYEES.

GTFU
