Interesting idea, but in this day and age of horse trading in the U.S. Congress, it's unlikely that'll ever happen.

Lots of calls to remove Walker from Wisconsin right now, where he is getting so much done.
To: Rufus2007
Great fantasy Mark, now back to planet Earth.
Walker will make a fantastic POTUS candidate in the future.

He is getting the job done in an industrial state...
leave him be...he can do more good there..
besides, the beltway pretty much RUINS conservatives.

Make Scott Walker the Speaker of the U.S. House

Yeah; when pigs fly. The career politicians in D.C. (Pubbies and Dems) are so power-hungry and entrenched in their Congressional Ivory Towers, they would not move over and let Jesus Christ become Speaker of the House.

The House has a number of very able conservatives. Paul Ryan for instance.
They just get sent to the back of the bus and told to be quiet.

According to Levin, to begin what he called an 80-to-100 year process of restoring a constitutional government, it would be necessary to do something bold. Great point. We are conditioned to believe that nothing dramatic happens in politics - elections are had, one side wins, the other side concedes, and life goes on in a rather undramatic fashion. It has been 40-50 years since anything real dramatic happened in politics (minus Reagan's attempted assassination).
Therefore, we are conditioned to believe that anything bold or dramatic is a fantasy and can never happen. Two questions I have would be:
- Would doing something bold before the November elections do more harm than good? Obama's minions are trailing the enthusiasm gap by a long shot. Any bold move could invigorate them to go out to the polls in November.
- Do we have any elected GOP leaders with a spine? I used to think Darrell Issa had one, but whether he's constricted by the bureaucracy or positively feckless, his much-anticipated "investigations" prior to 2010 have gone nowhere. Boehner is a well-recognized toad. The last GOP leader I can remember with a spine was Tom DeLay. Thus, I think this is where Mark's plan fails.

This is actually a fantastic idea, but not Walker. Let me present some other names:
Rush Limbaugh
David Limbaugh
Rick Santorum
Sarah Palin
John Bolton
Paul Ryan
This actually could be done. Elect enough TEA members and the RINOS can be stampeded. The dems heads would explode.

I’m thinking Mark is being a bit tongue-in-cheek. Besides... burying Walker into the corrupting warrens of Congress would be a waste of talent.

As a practical matter, I don't see it happening, but I like the way Levin's brain works.

Walker just survived a recall election in his state. I wish our side would quit using that word "survive" - it connotates a "poor fellow" or "Act of God" scenario. Seems like we are playing by the left's rulebook by using their terms. Better to say Walker "beat back" or perhaps "Barrett did not survive/failed" the recall. Put the onus on the loser where it belongs.
