These campaign workers are hired guns.

Grow up.

Hiring guns that have conservative blood on them is not encouraging to me, sorry that you consider the Mississippi episode acceptable.

As all good Aliskites do, you feel it is your duty and obligation to define my beliefs for the forum.

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

I’m not willing to overlook the disgusting episode in MS.

You are.

So, too, is Walker, apparently.

Name call all you want. Hiring Brad Dayspring was a mistake.

Some "light" reading about Scott Walker

The Left's War on Conservatism: Part 216 of 216 in the series Wisconsin's Secret War

Let me know when you're caught up; then we might have something important to discuss.

How are Cruz’s numbers?

Not very good, imo. The MSM refuses to say his name for the general public to hear.

Brad Dayspring wanted to work for Bush. Walker’s campaign tried to hire him 3 months ago, but he was still hoping for Bush.

No one else would hire Dayspring because of his horrible ethics and mudslinging.

Wisconsin is 44th in private sector jobs growth and 50th in new business start ups. Google is a simple way to verify. Take the bureau of labor statistics and not campaign spin.

Walker promised 250,000 new jobs and Wisconsin has gained about half that.

WEDC is another area that is under investigation by the DA’s office, if you are interested in more research.

His grasp on foreign policy has been unsteady . . .

Meaning what? His views are somewhat isolationist and he doesn't think the American military should have bases in every part of the world?

If so, he has plenty of company. Isolationism has been inbred into midwestern politicians almost since the Spanish-American War. The fact of the matter is that the military has been so devastated by ObaMao, we are going to have to move in that direction no matter who is president.

I see this as an advantage, not a deal breaker.

I am not convinced of anything yet. He is probably in the middle on immigration, but pretty much everyone is in one way or another. Compromise is fine...it just depends where the give and take is. Even Cruz has indicated room for middle ground, he just says border first the rest later. I am not sold on Walker, nor anyone. I would have 100% confidence in Cruz and Jindal to be loyal to conservatives. I just don’t see Jindal rising to the top in this field. I hope Cruz can grow into the role of charismatic leader and run the table. It would be a fantastic turn for the better.

January 3, 2011 - Walker assumes Office of Governor of Wisconsin.

June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin “- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it.”...

March 1, 2015: Fox News: Chris Wallace interviews Scott Walker:

“.....WALKER: And my view has changed. I’m flat out saying it. I’m — candidates can say that. Sometimes they don’t. I’m saying my —

WALLACE: So, you’ve changed from 2013?

WALKER: Absolutely. I look at the problems we’ve experienced for the last few years. I’ve talked to governors on the border and others out there. I’ve talked to people all across America.

And the concerns I have is that we need to secure the border. We ultimately need to put in place a system that works. A legal immigration system that works.

And part of doing this is put the onus on employers, getting them E-Verify and tools to do that. But I don’t think you do it through amnesty.”.....

March 2015: “We strongly dispute this account. Governor Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed. His position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false,” she announced in an email to journalists Thursday afternoon.”

“I made it clear that for me, if somebody wants to be a citizen, they need to go back to their country of origin, get in line, no preferential treatment,” Walker said. “In terms of what to do beyond that, again, that’s something we got to work with Congress on.”

[CLICK and read Walker’s comments to Beck]:

April 20, 2015: Scott Walker Lays Out Pro American Worker Stance on Immigration “During an interview with Glenn Beck, Walker became the first declared or potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate to stake out a position on immigration fully in line with that of Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL). He also noted that he has been working with Chairman Sessions on the issue to learn more about it.

Walker is now the only potential or declared GOP presidential candidate to discuss the negative effects of a massive increase in legal immigration on American workers:...........................”

Thing is, Walker has actually gotten things done policywise beyond mere talk.

Walker was a great leader on the state level but so far, as Presidential candidate, he doesn’t seem to have the same clear purpose and vision that he exhibited as Governor. I haven’t written him off yet, but so far he hasn’t given me a clear reason to vote for him, aside from the fact that he was a good Governor.

His parents are from Illinois - that makes him an illegal immigrant to Wisconsin! Everyone knows Wisconsin hates the FIBs. Come now I am being sarcastic and I was born, educated and raised in Wisconsin till I moved to Mississippi (seminary), than eventually Michigan where I make my home! well what he did in Wisconsin might just another catalyst to get the uSA back on track.

Are you serious? Cruz Is a wonderful speaker....his hope and change matra is awful familiar. Walker actually gets the job done. Cruz is in this to sell a book and hear himself speak. Go over to the Cruz fan threads and leave us alone.
