The other side already used the “nuclear option,” and we’re all still here.
(CNN)Scott Walker said same-sex marriage proponents should respect the religious opinions of those who disapprove of same-sex couples having the right to legally wed.
Speaking in Denver at the Western Conservatives Summit on Saturday, the Wisconsin governor spelled out his criteria for judges and weighed in on the religious liberty debate.
“To me, it is not freedom from religion, it is freedom of religion, which ultimately means we have the right to practice our religious beliefs and not have others interfere,” he said in an onstage interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
“We should respect the opinions of others in America, but that in return means that they not only respect our opinions, they respect what is written in the Constitution,” he said.....”

Walker and Cruz leading on Obama Care repeal....the main reason they are my top two choices.
(there are other reasons of course)
.
Doesn't anyone remember this bill was an attachment and not a stand alone and can be repealed with 51 votes, and all it takes is a POTUS to sign off on that Senate Vote?
That is however divorced from what Rush said Friday how Roberts fubard it and etched it in stone and it will need Congressional removal. I need to think about that one....
Unless you are going to promote what you are going to replace it with.
In this case, it would be with Health Savings Accounts and Medical Savings Accounts.
Acknowledge that RuBama will veto it but you'll sign it.
You can tell people that if they like their RuBamaDon'tCare, they can keep their RuBamaDon'tCare.
Dammit. Do I have to think of Everything?
TALK IS CHEAP!!!
Cruz definitely is. I'm not convinced on Walker yet.
It would be "if you want your Obamacare you can keep your Obamacare". Who could vote against that?
It looks like Republicans on the whole wouldn't mind abolishing Obamacare as long as their paymasters in the insurance companies don't lose out.
Better be careful praising anyone but Cruz. You’ll be harassed and stalked.
Thanks for posting...I do support Cruz but Walker is right up there. I may even give to Walker too. Your informative post is appreciated.
He has never been a Senator so how can he say he would use this option ? Your right talk is cheap.
Invoking the Reid Rule to abolish the filibuster right now would be futile because we cannot over ride Obama’s veto.
If the next president is a Republican and we hold onto the Senate then the first order of business for the new Senate should absolutely be to abolish the filibuster.
The second order of business must then be to steamroll the Democrats and undo everything that Obama and the Democrats have done since 2006.
It'd take 60 votes to end the cloture that would delay the repeal vote.
The way that the Senate Republicans were messing themselves at the possibility that the Supreme Court might vote against Obamacare leads me to believe there is no real interest in getting rid of it.
so, go ahead, denigrate the conservative and elect hilary like you elected Obama
conservatives are their own worst enemy
Because then we would just revert to the status quo ante. Which, I think, is Dutch for, back to square one. The very square that started this whole lunacy being lack of health care coverage.
With HSAs and MSAs, you actually are being proactive.
but does that matter?
shouldn’t good conservatives make the charge of the light brigade, up the valley targeted on both sides by the guns that kill? Isn’t it necessary to make the charge if you are conservative?
Isn’t the principle of the charge more important than the predetermined outcome
Speaking the Truth.
Scott Walker never was a Senator.
And don’t say I voted for Obama, I voted Republican since 1988.
Scott Walker opines on the filabuster.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Kinda.
