Generalities from Walker and specifics from Cruz.
What a blowhard, that Huckabee.
Word.
I hope in this election cycle the candidates try to remember who the real enemy is and not spend a lot of time attacking each other.
Well, he did crush unions which is remarkable and survived a recall. I would love a Cruz/Walker ticket in either order. Maybe 16 years of sanity.
I gave Walker money when they went after him with the recall.
The corporate elites that believe in a world economy with cheap labor moving across sovereign borders as in Amnesty like the crushing of unions as well as I do for selfish reasons.
Walker must clearly come out on the issues like Cruz has.
Walker has been described as “acceptable to the Establishment” and that would make him unacceptable to me.
I just can’t get worked up for Walker. If he gets nominated I guess I’ll vote for him but I think Ted Cruz is the right guy for the times.
Well stated. Agreed. And the gentleman’s post below you is right. I cant get ginned up for Walker. I LOVE watching Cruz talk. Fiorina is turning out to be a GREAT attack dog. Throw her a cabinet position or some other post for her loyalty She can attack Hilary as only a woman can.
Cruz is sharp. No doubt. My unpopular opinion is that he’s in jeopardy of going overboard on certain social issues, Namely:
Obamacare is a broken egg, you can’t put it back together again and being rabidly anti-obamacare is going to shave a few % from the final statewide counts. It’s just a reality. It needs to be redirected away from it’s single payer trajectory.
Religion is fine and dandy. Christianity even better but Ted, if you want to be a preacher, quit the senate, quite the campaign and go be a preacher. If you want to be a politician, religion should be only an acknowledgment of his personal belief. “Freedom of Religion” is just as specific as “right to bare arms”.
I never did figure out who is leading the polls today..

Personally, I don't see it working out that way this time. People are pissed at the establishment and their 'conventional wisdom'

I absolutely believe Carli Fiorini is the attack dog. The others can be left alone to make their case and run their campaigns while Fiorini hammers that idiot wench Hitlery.
I am libertarian so to speak on ‘religion’.
We’ve always had fights between the religious and non-religious but the anti-religion forces cannot dictate their beliefs in and around sexuality and marriage because that abridges the Constitution and turns this country totalitarian.
If Ted wants to preach and arouse the sleepy religious folk, that’s OK because they have targets painted on them and all of us should allow them to exercise their conscience, regardless of our views on religion and sexuality.
Obamacare was called the “Affordable Care Act”. Romney did it in MA first as governor and spoke about the “freeloaders” in the healthcare system.
The people of this country weren’t told the truth about this new more expensive system of healthcare foisted on them so the insurance companies and big hospital groups and so on could be bailed out. Bailed out with mandatory private insurance coverage and expanded Medicaid for the poor and even the death panels will improve their bottom lines.
Because Obamacare is such a bailout for business interests and was done by Romney first, the GOP Establishment is not interested in its repeal.
Thank God someone like Ted Cruz is talking about it at least.
I'm pretty much with you. I never ask what religions I was praying with when I took a knee with the Chaplain leading the prayers. Lots of Jews, Catholics, and Protestants in those groups.
But the anti-religious groups don't get their way just because they whine.

Same here. I'm just not 'feeling' it.
When Walker was (admirably) standing firm against the unions, Sarah Palin's voice was the one I heard. Try as I might, I can't remember a single video clip of Walker rousing the troops like Sarah did.
Even now, I never hear him speak, and I've never encountered an article by him on Free Republic. I hear his supporters going on and on, but I don't hear from Walker himself. The excerpt of his speech (above) is one of the few I've seen.
Meanwhile, Ted's everywhere. I don't have to look for him. He reaches me through every available channel.
stay focused on the end game. Stay united. Don’t undermine the coalition.
What on earth is Trump doing here except taking valuable air time from the rest and reducing this all to what the media would call a circus. He a clown who needs to get away from the limelight.
On a side note, after Cruz's actions led to medals being rendered, I saw a blurb on FOX last week saying that the Army has announced benefits for those injured/killed - Go Cruz!
LOL, you guys are cracking me up.
“I don’t think anyone would question that we went big and we went bold,” said Walker.
Walker said the Wisconsin unemployment rate has dropped from 9.2 percent to 4.6 percent while he has been governor.
“We got rid of seniority based on tenure” in schools, he said, clearing the way for “the best and the brightest” to teach.
He ticked off other changes in Wisconsin since he has been governor. He cited tort reform and said “we no longer fund Planned Parenthood.”
Walker said Wisconsin has also passed a concealed carry law and a law requiring IDs in order to vote. He noted he recently signed right-to-work legislation.
Yup, no specifics at all. And yes, to you "union buster" guys, he has done a lot more than bust the unions.
