Where does Jindal fail your test?
Yes, we homeschooled too....
Mine survived college...so far....still one with a few years yet, but he’s the most conservative of them all. Has a Gadsen Flag tattoo.
And I remember Glenn talking about some liberal beliefs his kids had...years ago....when they were much younger than college. I was appalled then.
When Scott Walker took office, labor participation was at 69%. Now it is at 68%, not a big loss, but it demonstrates that nothing much has changed there. Just as it is nationally, the unemployment rate looks better than it actually is because so many have stopped looking.
Minnesota has a lower unemployment rate at about 3.5%.
Wages have fallen in Wisconsin and there is alarm at the rapid loss of the middle class. In May, Wisconsin lost more jobs than any other state. When a states private sector job creation goes from 11th to 44th, their is something wrong policy wise. It is not coincidental.
The 156,800 jobs that you cite is jobs created during Walker’s entire time in office. He promised 250,000 jobs in his first term and fell far short and into his second term is still far short.
There are several more-or-less conservative commentators who have picked up this “it’s-not-about-right-and-left-it’s-about-right-and wrong” nonsense.
The Left is for slicing and dicing babies, counterfeit money, open borders, sodomy, treason, confiscatory taxation, etc., etc.
When these “it’s-not-about-right-and-left-it’s-about-right-and wrong” morons can show me the Democrat politicians who are pro-life, against fiat money, against open borders, against sodomy, against treason, against confiscatory taxation, etc., etc., then maybe I will consider the claim that “there are good people on both sides of the aisle.”
I don’t even know what “it’s-not-about-right-and-left-it’s-about-right-and wrong” is supposed to MEAN. What do those who push “it’s-not-about-right-and-left-it’s-about-right-and wrong” hope to gain? Who is it they are trying to ingratiate themselves with?
Goldwater was a star on the big, splashy TV special that kicked off “People for the American Way,” which was pro-abortion and pro-sodomy. Robin Williams made a pitch for killing babies. Rod Steiger played an old gay dude. “All I ask is to be treated with respect!” Right.
A “conservative” politician with a lefty wife will turn out to be whipped at least 99% of the time.
No one votes for the wife... unless they’re braindead...
So was Glenn. Look at Sam Walton's spawn.
No. Rather, it suggests that he may not be who he says he is. Walker wouldn't be the first candidate to fake a hard right turn to gain some traction in the (early) caucuses and primaries. That may or may not be the case here. But, it seems either he and his wife are very far apart on some fundamental issues, or his wife was unwilling to swallow the long-acting social-conservative pill.Perhaps, but he's given no indication of making any hard right turns - he came into the governorship looking like who he has continued to look like.
Not odd for husbands and wives to have different viewpoints on some issues - look at James Carville and Mary Matalin who have been together for 20+ years despite him being a vociferous Lefty and her being a Conservative.
Boogeymen may exist, but we seem to be more akin to the Salem Witch Hunters than we are at finding and focusing on real problems - then, we become the real problems by defaming/accusing/destroying our own best hopes.
