“...The problem is that integrity seldom wins elections these days...”
Man, that’s putting it lightly! Sad to say...
Previously, I thought Walker was ok - nothing really wrong with him, but I couldn’t make the connection between his positions and the support he was getting. He didn’t seem to really stand-out to me. I wasn’t turned off by him and was interested to hear what he had to say.
Now with his growing list of flip-flops, he’s getting a bit too Kerry-esque for me. Which of his different positions on the issues should I trust -or- should I trust none of them? Heck, does Walker *himself* even believe what he’s saying or is he just parroting what some campaign advisor is telling him to say? Does he think for himself or is he being “managed”?
At this point, I’m not sure what to think about him. Is he turning into a politi-slut right before our very eyes who will merely tell you what he thinks you want to hear?
He, like all candidates, is being managed and perhaps over managed. With the media salivating over what the next gaff might be, they weigh each and every word like it could be their last. Candidates no longer put new ideas on the table or even express original thoughts unless they first pass by the focus groups and opinion polls. Our political system has become a cesspool that good people have no stomach to jump into.
