They are ridiculous, but they serve for the media to gather and store ammunition for the primaries.

How about someone who did not graduate from college?

Are you kidding? Today, that's a PLUS not a negative! Given the legendary liberalized propaganda poured into the minds of students from cradle to post grad it's a foregone conclusion that some contamination has to have taken hold somewhere deep. It's been going on since the 1980's at least at the university level, long before that in the Ivy Leagues. At least Walker won't be making appointments directly from the membership lists for the Council on Foreign Relations! That's whose got to be crapping their pants right now with this poll. Those guys will be working round the clock to grind Walker into dust. It may well be for the very first time before or since Ronald Reagan that they won't have a lock on a POTUS from both parties.

I oppose Huck because he’s a fiscal liberal.

Saw Dr. Ben in person last night at a high school here in the oil patch. A capacity crowd braved ice and cold to hear him talk for an hour off-the-cuff standing on stage.

The first part of his message was mainly a plea for American’s to wake up to recognize that a near majority are uneducated as to American history and current affairs (remember Leno’s Jay-Walking segments) and what individuals are capable of when given guidance at a young age (home schooled, private, schools, charter schools over public schools) but without it an entitlement mentality is created. The second part of message was that individuals with vision are often stopped with government red tape, regulations, and high tax consequences with success. And third, our children and grandchildren are stuck with debt that will drag us down indefinitely.

He definitely has an anti-Washington stand saying too many bureaucrats are preventing continuation of the American dream. He didn’t broach his possible candidacy and questions from the audience focused on advice for young people to be successful.

Walker needs to come up with a coherent position on illegal immigration. He’s all over the place now. He should say that we the public doesn’t trust Washington on border security, and we need to build a fence, secure the border, and have strict enforcement of employment laws first. Once that’s done in a few years we can see where we are and decide what to do with those already here. That’s the only thing I can think of that will get grass roots support without driving away all the big Chamber of Commerce type donors.

So, I guess you’re not supporting Ted Cruz; because he’s both a lawyer and an Ivy League person.

Too bad .. NO CRUZ YOU LOSE

I won’t vote for a lightweight who thinks 2nd amendment rights should be decided by local governments.

I have a feeling Scoot Walker could understand conceptually what Reagan did to win back to back elections in some of the most incredible landslides ever (the guy won California, Mass and NY for goodness sake!) and could actually think, “You know, I think actually trying that, for once, just may actually work!”.

The wretched cynic part of me feels that having Scott Walker win the nomination would be tantamount to winning a powerball mega million lottery and a private island fortress. How I would love to be proven wrong here.

I am very disappointed in Scott Walker’s recent response To Rudy Giulliani’s statement about believing Obama does not love America.

In a story covered by Drudge as the banner headline, Scott Walker gave the following replies in response to questions about Giulliani’s statement:

“To me, this is a classic example of why people hate Washington and, increasingly, they dislike the press .... The things they care about don’t even remotely come close to what you’re asking about.”

“I would defy you to come to Wisconsin. You could ask 100 people, and not one of them would say that this is a significant issue.”

Walker apparently believes that the fact that we have a government, and administration (regime), and an Oval Occupant, all not acting with the best interests of America at heart, and not loving this country, is not of interest to his constituents in Wisconsin, which I find hard to swallow.

Evidently Walker does not realize the overall reason for his popularity in Wisconsin.

Ben Carson is nowhere near this number.
Most GOP members have never heard of him.

I am willing to let some single-issue items slide but Carson’s softness on 2nd Amendment rights will take a lot of repairing for my support.

California wasn’t the Democrat hacienda it is today. Reagan couldn’t get elected here now.
