I’ve been emailed this text of remarks Mitt Romney will be making to his supporters shortly:
Let me begin by letting you know who else is on this call, besides Ann and me. There are a large number of people who signed on to be leaders of our 2016 finance effort. In addition, state political leadership from several of the early primary states are on the line. And here in New York City, and on the phone, are people who have been helping me think through how to build a new team, as well as supporters from the past who have all been kind enough to volunteer their time during this deliberation stage. Welcome, and thank you. Your loyalty and friendship, and your desire to see the country with new, competent and conservative leadership warms my heart.
After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee.

Yep. Deluging America with the dregs of the Third World has proven to be one of our enemies' most successful strategies to take this country down.
To see so-called Republicans greasily endorsing that treason, is enough to make a sane man get his crazy on.
Now if all of the rest of them would get out leaving only Cruz, Walker and Paul we might have something worth putting some effort into.
Path just got easier for Jeb
Hugh is on suicide watch.
Time to get in the fight for real because the GOP-E and MSM are already in it.
I don’t elect LEADERS, I elect REPRESENTATIVES who work for ME!
The guy is an awesome debater, but not conservative enough, especially after his comments post-election.
Need a good debater who can articulate our side well while not alienating non-conservatives. That’s tough.
Shots on me everyone!
Struck a deal with Jeb?
“You hear some people talk about border security and a wall and all that– to me, I don’t know that we need any of that.”
Scott Walker 2003
Here is the video link of Scott speaking these words:
What has Walker said that makes you believe he is going to shut down the border? Walker does not believe we need any border security. He stated that we need to make it easier for people to come to this country and they won’t have to come here illegally. I suppose because it is so hard to get here an all right now. I don’t know how we could make it any easier than it already is.
Is there a country that doesn’t have border security and control immigration?
>>Why do we always have so many candidates who end up destroying each other during the primary process, while the Dems stick with one or two and run effective campaigns??
Because they stick to the core issues of the Progressives and their voters know to not worry about the fringe stuff. They understand that once America is fundamentally transformed into a marxist “workers’ paradise”, all the little things will snap into place.
On the other hand, we destroy a candidate for a statement made years ago on the complicated issues of guns, abortion, or taxes. They accept the best they can get and we demand perfection or nothing. We get nothing and they get baby steps Forward.
His wife let him off the hook.
You go, granny!
The Establishment cannot be allowed to win and if it does win the GOP does not get my vote period.
I think Scott Walker is ultimately acceptable to them and I will not support him under any circumstances.....
Not enough water in the Ogallala Aquifer to water these three bushes..... but lord knows there will be enough landscapers if Jeb gets elected.....
I’m with you young lady..... Palin & Cruz or even Cruz & Palin versus the Bush trifecta.
Stay Safe !
Have you read the links that quote his statements on amnesty? He is 100% "for LEGAL immigration" and that's a direct quote. Look it up.
Then why does he want a Mexican Consulate in Madison?

Walker originally supported Common Core when governor. Under pressure from Tea Party and other conservative voters he changed his views. The last two paragraphs of this article are the most relevant. It’s a long article.

Recently Walker has been accused of walking back his views against Common Core. Instead of asking for repeal of the bill he wants to simply give schools a choice of whether or not they want to use it.

He also recently asked the state legislature to not bring forth a Right To Work bill claiming it would be a distraction to other agenda he wants to move forward in the state.
Is Walker really changing his mind on these issues or is it a matter of him wanting to look more moderate when he runs for POTUS. I really do not have any idea of how he really feels about these issues as he has been so squishy. And they ALL say they will secure the border first. Been there done that and we all know what happens afterwards. So when a candidate says that I take it with a grain of salt.
He’s absolutely correct too. We need to fix our immigration system and make it easier for GOOD people to come here and assimilate. We should be choosing who comes and not letting the bad guys sneak in.
But he does want to increase border security and secure the border first. He’s just stating the obvious...if we had a more sane system in place we could more easily control the border.
Thanks for your post and the links regarding Scott Walker and CommieCore.
