Scott “The Weather-Vane” Walker strikes again!

Please tell me exactly why changing his positions to reflect those of his voters is bad?

The whole idea of our system is that politicians should reflect the will of the voters. When they don't, conservatives complain louder and longer than anyone else. But now, when a politician listens to the will of the voters, you complain.

Which voters is Walker appealing to?

It almost seems like he is trying to appeal to conservatives with fiscal issues and moderates with social issues.

This is the GOPE talking, not the conservative base of the GOP.

The whole idea of our system is that politicians should reflect principle first, whether the people likes it or not.

We're a free republic - a nation of laws, not of men - not a democracy.

So what will his position be if he wins the primary, or if he wins office? It would be good to know now.
