Rubio’s glamour?? The man has a come over.

I hope Walker keeps the pedal to the metal. Just because he s first out of the gate to take the slings and arrows does NOT mean he can’t be in it for the long run. The left will tell you who they fear....they fear Walker.

[SatinDoll]

Scott scares the pee out of Progressives. It’s an easy tell.

[Graybeard58]

The difference between Walker and “W” is profound. Walker is conservative.

[kidd]

Good article and encouraging.

Looking for someone who lives the bible without over-talking it. That’s Walker.

But I hardly consider Ted Cruz to be any kind of embarrassment. I don’t think he over does it at all.

[tsomer]

Yeah. Right.

Let’s all take the advice of the Obamabots to heart.
He’s such a warm and fuzzy guy, O.

[Iscool]

So far Walker has shown to be a major flip-flopper and his one achievement is bucking the unions in his state...

With Bush being a Catholic in the race with his extremely liberal slant on illegal amnesty and all that other liberal junk, I'm afraid the liberal Catholics are going to reject anyone not Catholic and let Bush slide thru...

"It requires a great deal of paranoia and passive-aggressive claims of “persecution,” of course, to take isolated collisions between anti-discrimination laws and religious principles into a major threat to the immensely privileged position of Christians in the United States."

In what way are Christians "immensely privileged" in today's America? Are Christian sentiments routinely reflected in the public school curricula or the universities, in the entertainment industry, or the mainstream media? No. Are they often mocked? Yes. So where is this "privilege" the author refers to?

Hey Mr. Kilgore,

I gotcher Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time gaffmeister right here:

[Gator113]

I’ll be voting for Ted Cruz.

If W’s “compassion” consisted of beefing up the demands by the Department of Education, loading more entitlements onto Medicare and opening the borders to illegals, good for Scott Walker.

[Ann Archy]

Laura was responsible for turning W into a pansy Democrat. Praying that Tonette isn’t some squishy Democrat wife like Laura.

[Cubs Fan]

Good, GWB’s compassion—i.e. big spending on medicare and that horrible “no child left behind” nonsense were the worst parts of him.

Scott Walker: W. Without the Compassion

I'd chalk that up as a big plus. W was preferable to the odious Gore, or almost any Democrat, but really a poor leader, imho.

[TruthBeforeAll]

Good. Don’t show the sniveling left once ounce of compassion. Grind you heel into their spines as you walk all over them. “W” left many of his supporters hung out to dry as we constantly tried to defend him against murderous charges, only to have him then pal around with those on the left who stabbed him in the back repeatedly.

[SoConPubbie]

We will see. Time will tell.

Especially if his Amnesty/Open Borders conversion is real.

That will be the real test.

[Organic Panic]

We don’t need no stinkin’ compassion. Compassion is why this country is falling apart. Idiots mistake an all powerful oppressive government for compassion.

[dfwgator]

“Compassionate Conservatism” is neither compassionate nor conservative.

[9thLife]

After 6 years of Jimmy Carter without the brains or the soul, I’d say that would be an improvement, if it weren’t just plain ludicrous.

[CharleysPride]

Without the Compassion—

—or fat brother.
