Let’s Get Radical - For once give liberals a taste of what they’re complaining about

The teacher doesn’t own the public details of a public story that illustrates what’s wrong with unions and of course Walker is within his rights to use her as an example of a union policy gone wrong. However, if the writer of the story is correct, and Walker repeatedly changes the name of the award and never actually gets it right, I have to ask, why can’t he just get the details right? Of course, if you say a liberal writer is just making that part up and lying, I’m willing to believe you.

Yes, the Washington Post is working overtime (like you) to do the bumbling Walker mime.

Since there is a limit to what I can except here, I suggest to those who aren’t on this thread solely to campaign for another candidate, that they read the article (again bearing in mind the source).

That’s unfair of you to say that about me. I’ve gone out of my way to be understanding of Walker (who I don’t support) and civil to you (who I’ve always liked). Maybe I should rethink all of that if that’s the way you’re going to be.

You just lied about me. Just to be clear.

That’s one fact I absolutely know.

Your post was obvious.

Mine was direct.

My post 2 was being fair to Walker. How was it not being fair?

You’ve just become hypersensitive and I can see why, illustrated by the poll I just posted.

Looks like Walker is getting pasted by both Trump and Carson in all the polls. Last time I checked, Walker has cratered to 3% in neighboring Iowa.

That's pretty awful. How do you explain such a poor showing for Scott Walker? He might be a good governor for Wisconsin but he's a terrible presidential candidate and obviously, not many people want him as president.

Scott Walker is more then the typical ambitious self promoting politician. I believe he is cut from a different cloth. I see him as sincere and capable.

He has fought hard against the left and proved himself to be strong and determined. I wish him well in the debates and hope that he finds the ability to communicate his inner warrior.

File under “How to win friends and influence people”

“She” is only about advocating her candidate, period. Nothing else matters. Now that the desperation of a failing campaign is setting in, well you know. “Her” arguments are now distilled to propagating a one issue campaign and we all know how well that has worked out for us in the past.

As stated before, I am a Cruz supporter and donator, but with that said, I prefer to hold all my cards until it is time to vote on Super Tuesday and will continue to vet them all and I encourage everyone to do the same. Screw this one up and we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

She may feel the same way but questioning anyone’s intent or motives when none are displayed only reinforces why many here treat her opinion pieces as nothing more than the boy yelling “Wolf”. As in the old fable, it eventually becomes background noise.

You make good points.

I started out early this year pro-Walker and pro-Cruz. I have since switched to Trump/Cruz (and the remote possibility of Trump/Palin) for many reasons.

But I still have a lot of respect for Walker. He’s young. Hopefully there will be a Republican in the White House and that person will bring Walker in as Secretary of Labor.

Hopefully the Republican gets re-elected in 2020. That leaves 2024 wide open as an opportunity for Walker.

I’m sure he’s thinking along those lines himself.

At least I hope so.

In addition to getting rid of teachers, how many administrators did they get rid of?

The game isn't even close to being over yet genius, that's how.

It might be more appropriate to lecture me (interesting you didn’t ping me to a comment about me) if I sought out Ted Cruz threads to make “helpful” or snide comments like smatheman did on this thread or others.

Well 3% is a pretty deep hole to climb out of. Even when Mitt Romney was being out-polled by Bachman, Perry, Cain, Gingrich and even Santorum four years ago, he never dipped below the mid 20s in the polling numbers.

Being at 3% at this point is catastrophic. I know this is a kick in the stomach for you but you need to face up to the facts that the voters have utterly rejected Scott Walker for this go-around.

You sound like a real loser if you believe that.

Well I do believe that 3% is a deep hole to climb out of at this juncture and I am not a loser.

Read the handwriting on the wall. This is not a year that will favor career politicians in the GOP. Even our FR favorite Ted Cruz is feeling the pain. Both Trump and Carson are tripling his meager showing. This might not be his year either.

Well both Cruz and Walker are young guys. They will have other opportunities.
