Palin
Walker
West
Bachmann
Brewer
Christie

They are all very close in this analysis. we are so blessed with candidates for the future.


Very true. We are definitely blessed to have a strong bench for the future. I’m not sure about 2012, but the out-years look much better.

Walker is thisclose to making me believe he’s the real deal. If he follows through and actually fires the state employees, he will have convinced me beyond doubt.

Christie has already been outed as a full-fledge member of the RINO group here on FR.

So far, I think every republican holding office (except for Walker) has been outed as a RINO here on FR. I think I have seen one dude nominate Walker as a RINO, though.

I work for the state of WI (state employee). Here is a direct quote from the Employees Handbook, Work Rules and Ethics regulations...

"I. WORK PERFORMANCE
Neglecting job duties or responsibilities.
Loafing, loitering, sleeping, or engaging in unauthorized personal business or visiting.
Falsifying records or giving false information to other state agencies or private organizations or to employees responsible for record keeping.

II. ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
. . . or failure to notify the proper authority of impending absence or tardiness.
Unexcused or excessive absenteeism.

"Committing any of the acts on the list will be sufficient grounds for disciplinary action ranging from reprimand to immediate discharge, depending upon the seriousness of the offense and/or the number of infractions."

That is pretty much standard. Now review the procedures for discharging a state employee. The process varies from state to state, but it is usually complex, expensive, and time consuming to actually fire someone.

“I’m 100% behind him... but bear in mind his Achilles heel: He didn’t finish his undergraduate degree.”

We have to remember too Harry Truman was a highschool graduate or he may never have dropped a couple of flamers on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

(”If you can’t handle the heat, get out of Hiroshima.” HST...so I am told that is what he said.)

Frankly, I see that as a plus (not exposed to more Marxist indoctrination).

Besides, that purported Harvard degree (who really knows for sure, we've never seen any transcripts) of the current occupant really does some good, doesn't it?/s

Here is SWs nomination:

Thanks - I hope you are right. I know Scott Walker has the spine for it, but, with RINOs, one never knows.

Your "points" are silly on their face.

Mr. Limbaugh is an entertainer...his "profession" does not require any kind of university degree. This has been amply demonstrated by the "entertainers" in hollywood.

And Mr. Lincoln lived in a time when passing the bar meant to read law books with a prospective partner, and when becoming in doctor meant you attended what is the modern day equivalent of high school biology at a university for two years (never having come near a body - living or dead) and then were granted a diploma to "practice medicine".

There is no one ... or any organization that twists one's arm behind one's back to force them to go to an institute for higher learning, nor to earn any kind of degree.

If there are those who would be better off without college, then let them bypass the effort.

Degrees are not all they are purported to be...
Many people are born with talents that a degree/organized education would stifle.

Sometimes a college degree, Is just a piece of Paper.
not a sign of intelligent.
case(s) in point:
B. H. Obama
Nancy Pelo$i
Harry Reid
Eric Holder
$hrillary Klintoon
add your own.

They are NOT silly. I was pointing out that many successful people have not needed "undergraduate degrees" to get ahead/make a name for themselves. Many people on this thread have already answered that exact point I was making in the affirmative. No reason for snobbery.

Believe me....we already have. Chapter and verse. And it's not as difficult as you might think.

Blatant fraud and dishonesty will have you removed within a day if it can be proven.

And trust me....in these cases, it can be proven.

Neither did Ben Franklin, George Washington, etc.. No of our founding fathers went to college and they still did okay.

P.S.

By the way. I didn’t state this. But I want this to be clear. I am a great admirer of Harry Truman.
