>>I thought Walker was courageous on unions until I found out he only targeted those that hadn’t supported his election and gave others, like the Public Safety Unions, a pass.<<
Here’s another way to look at it: Walker was extremely courageous in taking on the two most powerful unions in the state, the teachers and the public-sector unions, and he succeeded.
He was also very politically astute in realizing that if he included the police and fireman unions he would be taking on so much at one time that he would very likely fail to get anything done at all. Even if a bill was passed and signed, he quite likely would have lost his recall election under those circumstances.
One of Walker’s main attributes is that, as a politician, he’s very practiced at the politics of various matters. He takes very big bites of the apple each time, but is smart enough not to stuff the entire apple in his mouth at once.
Those of you who maintain you’ll vote for Cruz, and Cruz only, don’t choke on that apple you’re trying to swallow whole. And don’t misunderstand me either. If Cruz manages to get the nomination, I’ll be voting for him. I think he’s a top tier candidate, but note the word “tier.”
I will support Walker if he gets the nomination, but I still have reservations about him. I read an article at Red State “Twelve Reasons not to Vote for Scott Walker” and checked out each of the issues listed. The article was correct.
Immigration is my biggest issue and it goes hand in hand with National Security. I don’t like it when a candidate says one thing behind doors to the Chamber of Commerce and another thing on the stump.
