DES MOINES, Iowa — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) delivered a fiery speech in Iowa on Saturday, wowing the conservative crowd with a passionate argument for small government and his own lengthy resume.

Scott walker has never been for blanket amnesty.
There is a huge difference between blanket amnesty and granting work permits.

The most prosperous country on earth (every 6th citizen is a millionaire, which is more than any other country) allows foreign workers with work visa’s.

[JohnBrowdie]

Scott Walker has actual accomplishments. He has no peer in the current field of candidates.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Me too.

[Girlene]

Great speech. He knows who our enemy is: radical Islamic terrorists!

.....and he knows how to shop at Kohls! (Good analogy about taxes)

He’s got my vote.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Impossible ? If you don’t try it, you never know. Something audacious and bold. Let the party establishment committed to big government hold Conservatives hostage as they have in 2008 and 2012 and you’ll keep getting the same result. They’re already ginning up for a three-peat in 2016.

[Regulator]

Entering the United States without inspection is a crime, 8 USC 1325.

Federal misdemeanor first offense, federal felony second offense.

Being allowed to commit this crime and being absolved of prosecution for it is Amnesty. Being further rewarded for it with a work permit is outrageous.

Playing games with the meaning of the word is a leftist trick. Anyone allowed to stay in the U.S. Without prosecution after entering illegally has been amnestied.

If anyone could/would take on the Gov’t unions at the Federal level it would be Scott Walker. I’m in.

[Deo volente]

Son of a minister.

Pro-life.

Fights for smaller government and lower taxes.

Has courage to take on state workers’ unions and put them in their place.

Liberals absolutely hate him.

My kind of candidate!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Good words which seem to be matched by deeds. He has performed for his state. I could vote for this man. Unfortunately, he may be too able for current American politics-after all look what is in the White House today.

[blam]

"Scott Walker is someone I could vote for"

Ditto.

[lurk]

A Walker-Cruz ticket would be fun to watch. The R Establishment would melt down.

[Dante3]

No patriotic American would support amnesty. No conservative would support amnesty. Even liberals, if they care about the future of this country, would support amnesty. It is obvious how destructive amnesty is for our future.

[slapshot]

THe unions and professional left have thrown everything at him when he put in place his programs in 2011 and 2012. He and his family endured legitimate death threats. Additionally Madison and Milwaukee ultra liberal papers have excavated down to the bedrock and have found nothing. I stand with Scott Walker

[ObamahatesPACoal]

If Walker is polling best to beat Jeb I could support him, but he’s not the Messiah, he signed a few popular bills and hired some bodyguards.

Apparently Ivy League Lawyer Cruz is a too stupid to know how to work a pen. I dont think Dr Rand Paul has never had to sign something important so he doesn’t have executive experience.

[Dr. Sivana]

Willard should’ve been run out of that convention with pitchforks.

Temperamentally, Walker is not the man for that particular job. A Cruz or Palin, yes. As of June, 2012, too many were still willing to put up with one more RINO because of what Obama was doing to the country. Others hoped against hope that he was a closet conservative who just played RINO as Mass. gov. I think things would play out differently now, and we have a MUCH better roster of primary candidates. Much as I like Palin, she did not do us any favors by sucking all the oxygen out of the conservative side until September '11 before not pulling the trigger.

[JohnBrowdie]

If you don’t try it, you never know. Something audacious and bold.

---

fine. I'll say it; I will preface it by saying that I passionately agree with every word that comes out of ted cruz's mouth, but . . . what "adacious and bold" thing has ted cruz accomplished? in fact, what ordinary and common thing has senator ted cruz accomplished?

I love the guy, but his legislative track record is virtually non-existent. you can probably blame harry reid for that, but that's the pink elephant in the room.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I can support Walker without problem. Don’t forget Perry who had real accomplishments as governor of “The Great State of Texas.” Walker and Perry seem the most able of the prospective candidates especially since Perry became more conservative regarding illegals.

[entropy12]

To lie to the people is a crime committed often by elected politicians, and causes 10,000 times more harm than any illegal working his butt off to work on my landscaping.

“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period”
“if you like your health insurance, youcan keep your health insurance, period”
“every families health care premiums will go down by $2500/year”

Those lies have caused a million times more harm than any illegal worker busting his rear end.

[JohnBrowdie]

I agree. I haven’t forgotten perry at all. he’s certainly among the guys I could support without hesitation.

the most attractive thing about walker is that he has absorbed the very best bombs that the democrats and the labor thugs could blast him with, and he still kicked their a$$ . . . three times. there’s no quit in this guy. I love that about him.

plus, he makes big labor completely come off their hinges. that’s a plus for it’s sheer entertainment value.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Agreed, Walker is worthy based upon a demonstration of solid accomplishments.
