Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid of Governor Walker.

Actually, I think it is Walker supporters who are afraid of supporting a full-spectrum conservative like Ted Cruz.

Why would I, as a serious conservative, choose a Walker candidacy, with his weaknesses on Immigration, Open Border, Right to Work, the Gay Marriage fight, etc., over Ted Cruz who doesn't have those weaknesses?

No thank you!

Senator Cruz stands head and shoulders above every possible GOP POTUS candidate.

Always choose the best!!!


CRUZ or LOSE!

Walker seems like a nice guy - I was actually an early proponent of him running for the top job, probably still am.

However, recently he has been wobbly on too many issues of concern. Conservatives have been sidelined and thrown under the bus too many times by the caving repubs. If conservatives go only with people who have been declared by liberals as "being able to win", conservatives will win nothing.

The best all round conservative is Ted Cruz - fiscal, social, libertarian. He does not kowtow to GOPe leadership, the chamber of cronies, or the liberals.

Ted Cruz is very smart, articulate, and has personal charisma. He is able to deal with the national liberal media and the democrats.

With Ted, conservatives don't have to be worried about being thrown under the bus. He will move the needle for conservatism. Everything else is fluff. Party labels don't mean much.

I think Walker has been great for the state of Wisconsin, and believe me, it must be hard governing from Madison. But he is a weak presidential candidate. As you mentioned, Immigration, Open Border, Right to Work, the Gay Marriage fight etc. Also, killing a casino deal with Hard Rock that would have brought in millions in taxes and millions in revenue from our southern border. Not to mention the jobs to Southeastern Wisconsin which is hurting tremendously. And the Menomonee Tribe which would have reaped the benefits of the new casino, is the poorest tribe in Wisconsin. This decision has been on hold for years. I know people who have sold their homes because they didn’t want to live near the new casino. Personally I don’t care one way or another. It wouldn’t affect me here in Northern Wisconsin. It’s the fact that he kicked the decision down the road until after the governor election, wasted time and money on an advisory board and then the day before Iowa Freedom Summit he decided NO. Coincidence? I think not. Gotta look socially conservative when going to Iowa. He dragged his heels for years!! If he cant make a simple decision like this, what’s going to happen with the big ones?

I guess that brings us to the question of what you are going to do for Cruz’s campaign specifically? Headed to Nevada for some organizing?
