“What does that have to do with our stalled economy?”

I respectfully disagree. That would be too combative, it sounds too desperate.

He's doing it just right. Just shrug it off. On to the next question please, I'm busy.

The time to give a response like the one you suggest is if the atmosphere is heated, like in a presidential debate on national television. That's when you act like it's worth responding to.

The MSM praised in print how well Bill Clinton could lie.

Walker is going to give them fits.

I have watched every Walker speech I can find. This is how and why he came to be my candidate of choice. America will soon become aware of his strengths and appeal.

And it could be that he thinks they are irrelevant questions...as he has already explained.

I like Walker.

He mentions that in the recall debate.

Very slyly.

I’ve posted this a few times already today. It looks appropriate to post it again on this thread.

Ancient military strategist Sun Tzu wrote,

“Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent’s fate.”

It looks like the ‘uneducated’ Governor Walker is a lot better educated than his opponents in the press, and it is beginning to sink in that he may be directing their fates

Since OZERO won’t be running again, What anyone thinks about him is irrelevant to the next election. Mostly, what any candidate believes about another is always irrelevant.

He’s shrugging because those are stupid questions, you lickspittle.


I agree. Although I thought the ISIS one was interesting.

iirc, right after the 2014 election there was an article or three on the GOP’s winning strategy. Which was called something like “Go Quiet” (I can’t remember the exact term.)

Walker seems to be playing a variation of that, not allowing himself to be sucked into “gotcha” questions. Which aren’t designed to elicit substantive responses but rather material that can then be used to bludgeon him politically.

Very smart move at this point. And the writer of this, being an arrogant and elitest Lib, doesn’t consider that a lot of us don’t see this as validation of our positions (one way or another) but rather a politically savvy move that has the added benefit of scaring and annoying Liberals. And is therefore worthy of respect.

This is a yeast infection, posing as a journalist. She cannot even get a job, so she freelances and writes about the evil right and reproductive rights.

Sorry, but her criticism has equal validity to a fly complaining about a swatter.

PS: I use the term “her” without knowing or wanting to verify gender.

I just don’t get where the idiots think that what a 2016 candidate thinks whether Obama is a muslim or loves this country has anything to do with any important issues.

As far as ISIS, I would think more information would be needed about who is backing them, financing them, harboring them, etc., would be needed before making a statement that would be repeated and mocked (if new info came out) for the next two years.

Look what they did to Romney about Russia? “The eighties are calling,...” they forgot about that now.

He is also shrugging because, if the is one thing Obama has taught us, all those blanks on your political positions are a plus!

People will project whatever it is that the like into those blanks and you won’t have to be put up with being called a flip-flopper when you change them to match the audience.

He doesn’t have to say, and he should not. Where ever possible, he should let his actions speak for him.

At least he doesn’t have a long list of abstentions and absences like our President.

The Left is going to do everything they can to take Walker out. By making him appear "extreme" they will make him unacceptable to big money backers and stop grass roots support before the voters get a good look at him. They want to define him as unelectable.
