During a taped interview that aired Sunday morning on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Dana Bash asked Governor and 2016 Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker if he thought “being gay was a choice.”

The President doesn’t just handle economic and fiscal issues.

Walker does not fit into either of those categories; he has governed as a conservative as any FReeper from Wisconsin will affirm.

No I’ll take the conservative stance along with a couple million others and keep your liberal republicans out of power. Think of it as a ‘lesser evil’. No matter what. That should make it easier for you.

Get used to it or join us in electing a conservative. Your call.

I don’t know, I don’t know the answer to that question
Well Scott there is an answer just use science. No homosexual gene has been found by science. So as with all things these people are making choices.

It is. We aren’t voting for a liberal Republican. Thats as clear a threat as can be. Either vote conservative or get Hillary. Because lib GOP ain’t getting elected with our votes.

...instead of electing a conservative.

Every time someone with apparent conservative credentials appears, a number of us on this forum attack him as a RINO or worse. What's the cutoff point? 75%? 90%? Or is only 100% pure as the driven snow acceptable? In that case, we'll have to wait for His return, 'cause He ain't here right now.

For me the cutoff point is 80% or hiering Mitt Romney staffers on USCOC money.

A conservative would not align with the most liberal republican in history and hire the very people that went scorched earth on conservatives in 12.

I love Walker, I am here in WI, but unfortunately Walker is running a by-the-numbers, conventional type of campaign. THAT IS NOT GOING TO CUT IT IN 2016.

He will have to go full Trump on the progressives if he is to have a chance.

Well, that’s your opinion. Not anything more. IMO, Trump can win at least 15% of the black and 20% of the latino vote. Show me your “conservative” that can do that.

A reasoned and reasonable response. I leave it to Walker's supporters to rebut it.

Walker has done some good things in his state for the red team, but at the end of the day, he’s still from a purple state. My gut tells me that he’s now displaying his red colors, but if nominated would tack left toward purple to get elected. That’s why he sometimes struggles with these media-designed questions. Do we really want a chameleon in the WH?

Barry can top those numbers easily. Lets vote for him on the GOP ticket and we will win in a landslide with 95% of the vote.

If winning is the only thing that matters, why skinp? Go for the gusto and back a Barry approved liberal.

Now if conservative governance is what you want, then voting for a man with a liberal history is probably a very bad idea.

“To act on behalf of people, to do that properly, you have to understand, have an opinion on who they are and where they’re coming from.”

So much for equal protection under the law. It is, as usual, a loaded question based on a faulty premise. The best response to questions like this is to challenge their premise.

Correct answer: Insofar as a behavioral tendency is concerned, nobody truly knows the answer to that question. There are plenty of twin studies suggesting that there is no gay gene. On the other hand and in a fraction of cases, homosexual preferences could be an as-yet unidentified epigenetic tendency, a heritable trait imprinted by environmental events, some of which (such as a history of sexual abuse) are known to induce generational and compulsive behavioral consequences, not all of which are of benefit to the victims or their progeny. I don't think that as a matter of public policy we should be respecting much less celebrating the behavioral consequences of what is often a result of child sexual abuse.

Then ask the interviewer: In any case, are you suggesting that human sexual behavior is not subject to self-control?

We need to come off as firm but caring and compassionate.

Lame.

I like Walker, but geez.

And how does highlighting this CNN "misquote" help Walker in any way whatsoever?
