"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Wow...that’s the best they’ve got?

[hadaclueonce]

How about we forget about Iowa? Put them on ignore?
Tell them they are too small to matter?

Just because they are first to vote it is media con.

Let them keep their corn mountain.

[Beagle8U]

Yeah, he now takes the exact same position on the issue that Sen Cruz does. How dare he?

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Yeah, he now takes the exact same position on the issue that Sen Cruz does.”

Next year ?

Next fall?

Who knows.

[Hugin]

I don’t like ethanol mandates, but is this really a major concern right now for anyone other than corn farmers?

[txrefugee]

The GOPe is scared to death that Walker is going to dash their hopes for Jebby’s run. They actually think planting these stories is going to put another weasel from their side on the Republican ticket next year.

[laplata]

Another example of the GOPe going after Walker. Walker is a threat to Jeb.

[Democrat_media]

soConpubbie and other liberal media puppets are doing negative ads against Scott Walker to get communist Jeb Bush the nomination. This race is between Walker and Bush.

Scott Walker has passed conservative laws , balanced the budget , lowered taxes, defeating democrats numerous times. He has an unmatched record as governor , passing conservative laws, the only one who has defeated democrats.

If we get Jeb Bush and Hillary we know who to blame

[hlmencken3]

It’s not even exactly “first to vote.”

It’s just a precinct caucus for party business with a meaningless straw poll added as an afterthought.

I think candidates should be forced to humiliate themselves in January/February in places like Oklahoma and Utah too.

[laplata]

Yep.

[Impy]

I’m fine with Walker talking out of both sides of his mouth on ethanol if that will help him win Iowa. Doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.

[Uncle Miltie]

"I'm willing to go forward on continuing the Renewable Fuel Standard."

Corporate Crony Capitalism and Open Borders History.

Not conservative.

Go with Conservative Principles: Go Cruz!

[Democrat_media]

You are campaigning for Jeb Bush by trying to knock out the threats to Jeb Bush. Jeb is for commiecore, amnesty and for big government

[Baynative]

Does anyone know the difference between flip-flopping, evolving and triangulating?

[Beagle8U]

Yeah, he now takes the exact same position on the issue that Sen Cruz does.

[navyguy]

“He’s been against mandates and is still against mandates,” spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski wrote

Yeah, unless its this one.

I have never trusted Walker. I like what he has done as guvner... but I just sense an establishment weasel in there.

[meadsjn]

Another example of the GOPe going after Walker. Walker is a threat to Jeb.

Walker is a threat to conservatism. I knew this dude was going to fall flat on his face in the national arena.

He's just another pandering, un-principled politician. That is not conservative.

[lurk]

On subsidies, ask three questions.

Is it a good idea?
If yes, why does it need subsidies?

If no, why does it exist?

[laplata]

You’re welcome to your opinion.
