I think we are on the same general wave length. I only disagree concerning Rubio, who I suspect may be a stalking horse for Jeb, siphoning votes with his charisma from our preferred candidates. I loved Rubio when he came on the scene, but no longer trust him. His alliance with Chuck Schumer, and his bald faced lies told to us on the Rush Limbaugh show take him out for me. Perhaps in eight years he will have once again proved his conservative bona fides and I would reconsider.

My hope is that we can figure out how to find the best and strongest horse in this race early and can consolidate early. I prefer Cruz (will say why in another post) to Walker, you prefer Walker to Cruz, I can live with either, I believe you can as well. I also believe during this early time that we spend our time promoting the candidate we like, rather than tearing the other one down.

My proposal would go something like this: After the first two, three or so primaries (we would need to pick a fixed number), if one of them becomes ascendant in the polls, we agree to move that one forward as our candidate, the candidate for conservatives. That would necessitate abandoning the other until we have a winner.

I know this is a pipe dream of sorts, but think it may be necessary to beat Jeb and his money. I think we should come to some kind of agreement on this site, informally, and up front.

Ben Carson is a great man who has achieved much. He loves the idea of American exceptionalism, free enterprise and hates national health care with a passion. The bamster was a fraud who was an American hating Marxist who got away with pretending to be something he was not.

Anyone who thinks it's just because the bamster was a neophyte that the world is on fire needs a reminder: This is what the man believes, the world burning and spinning out of control is a result of his policies.

There was no one else outside of Hillary that would have been this bad. NO ONE.

Had Ben Carson been the first black president, the world would not be on fire, his policies would have been different.

And just so you know, I don't want him for President, but I do think we could use him to stump for and talk about how wrong headed the democrats have become, and support Cruz/Walker or Walker Cruz with everything he's got.

I learned a lot today about Scott Walker from an article at Red State.

Walker has denied conceal carry in State buildings, contradicting state law.

Walker is known for taking on unions. but he only targeted unions that didn’t support his election. Campaign Contributors like the Public Safety Unions who contributed to him got a Pass.

He supported the Right to Work law during the election campaign, then tried to strongarm GOP legislators into dropping it before signing it into law once it was passed over his objection.

He opposed Defunding Obamacare and bypassed the legislature to implement it.

He is currently backing away from Pro-LIfe Bills on their way to his desk.

He has not supported Traditional Marriage and his administration has elected to recognize gay marriages going all the way back to June.

Walker flip flopped on ethanol, unlike Cruz who faced the citizens of Iowa and made his case for his position.

Walker is soft on Common Core and pushed a bill through that maintained most of it before it was known what was in the bill.

Best known is that he was for a Path to Ctizenship before he was against it.

Scott Walker is hardly the sterling candidate he has been made out to be.

I'm THROUGH playing by THEIR RULES.
Without TED CRUZ, there is NO victory.
I'll take out(vote AGAINST) an "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" every time I get an opportunity to, and that INCLUDES the GENERAL ELECTION.

You got it?

"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS"SHALL NOT PASS !



It's SIMPLE.

I agree. If we run in different directions like a herd of cats, we lose our opportunity for greatness.

(Rubio and Walker) “......They are both weak on amnesty and both lack the world stage presence we need in our President.)......

And we got Odumbo. Anymore excuses?

Odumbo has been a humiliating embarrassment to the country, that’s for sure. My concerns about bot Rubio and Walker go far deeper than just their unumpressive Personas. There is an article at Red State that I recommend for all interested in knowing about Scott Walker’s actions as governor. The article is titled “Twelve Reason Not to Vote for Scott Walker”.
