I challenge Walker’s record. I’m not making up stuff about him when I link to his own words, his own deeds, his own hypocritical stances. C’mon. Stay with Cruz and you won’t have to suffer the humiliation from a Walker Blue Dog Republican presidential campaign that begs for conservatives votes, but abandons the conservative agenda once he is elected to the presidency.
Well, that's what I'm afraid he's getting so much exposure and promotion from the GOP and MSM for. Dick Nixon did exactly that after he got sworn in, in 1969. Ralph Whalen was a conservative who worked in Nixon's campaign because Nixon mobilized the Goldwater people, on one hand, and on the other had helped RiNO's like Sen. Charles Percy and Charles Mathias of Md. get elected in 1966 (he made a major effort to help/court every GOP'er he could, that year, which is how people knew he was on the comeback road from his 1962 disaster).
Whalen was given an appointment after the inauguration, but he resigned six months later when it became obvious that the appointment was a sop, and that Nixon was going to pursue an Establishment agenda that didn't include any Goldwaterite people or values.
And we all know what happened when Tricky Dick got driven back to the last ditch in 1974 and found nobody there. Even Barry Goldwater himself was on the Senate Bad News Team that brought Nixon the message from the GOP congressional caucus: Resign or be impeached.
Nixon decided at some point to become LBJ and FDR, and the crap they used to pull with total press immunity was what Kitty Graham and Ben Bradlee used to drive Nixon out of office.
One would like to think that, if Barry and a staff team loaded with Goldwaterites had been on board, that they might have been able to talk Nixon out of that imperial-presidency stuff.
The good news is, Tricky Dick shoved that imperial presidency so far up the Democrats' *sses that it became radioactive for a generation, and even 20 years later Slick was complaining that he couldn't do the stuff Landslide Lint'n used to do regularly, like sic the FBI on people. (They had to settle for Beastie's getting the raw FBI files on people.)
My post above about Dick Nixon's dropping the conservatives and fobbing them off with appointments applies here. Whalen wrote a book about the Nixon campaign and his disillusionment later, titled Catch the Falling Flag, it's a primer on GOP double-crossing techniques (which Nixon learned from Dwight Eisenhower, but that's another story).
I am for Ted Cruz at the moment, but am trying to keep an open mind on Walker.
