Take a hike, Walker.
That is a false dichotomy. Sometimes, nothing is exactly what must be done (especially by government).
Whether or not we deserve the ‘party of no’ moniker, changing our image would actually require us to have a plan.
Nominating a RINO with as much of a liberal record as the rat opponent. And having a plan that is basically a hope and change redoux is not going to win elections.

Conservatives to GOPe: stop parroting Dem talking points if you want our support.
If Christie is a conservative, than I am a virgin. Jeesh.
I think what Republicans need to do, is speak the truth, boldly and repetitively.....like Ted Cruz has been doing.
They also need to not let others shut them down....they need to stand up firm for principles, morals and values that MOST of Americans hold dear. Like GOD, marriage, family, faith and honor.
And one more thing to add, is Republicans need to stop defending MODERATES or giving them a pass. These “moderates” are PROGRESSIVES, and THEY are what is wrong with the Republican party, to begin with. If you protect, or cover, for these “moderates”, then you need to go too, IMO.
Sorry, but the GOP has NOT been the party of “NO!” very long. It has to be forced to say “NO!” most of the time. Quit listening to the party hacks telling how they could garner more support if they weren’t forced to keep conservative standards. If people don’t want to adhere to conservative standards, there are SEVERAL other parties with open arms. GO! PLEASE! Why are we demanding purity for a change? Because it is time that the party whose platform states they support small government, family values, less government intervention in our lives really lives up to that once elected. Otherwise, they are no better (liars) than the democrats.
what a disappointment! That’s why I’m putting my support behind Rubio.
“I think Chris Christie is a conservative. I don’t buy that he’s a moderate. “
Goodbye Walker.
It ain’t the Republicans who are the party of NO growth, NO jobs, NO hope, NO healthcare NO hope etc...
Now Cruz is coming out with his own healthcare “plan”.
When are these guys going to realize that the conservative way is to keep government OUT of healthcare, not to engage in a urinating contest over who can screw it up worse?
I don’t trust any Republican to come up with the ultimate solution for healthcare any more than I do the Democrats.
It’s a free market issue. Not the business of government, if you’re a conservative, that is.
As a citizen of WI - I recognize that Gov. Walker is totally unshaken by leftist media. He’s a great governor for our state. He has a comptroller’s logical mind - he is fast with the delivery of economic facts, knows numbers and can achieve results. He has been the very opposite of the poor management under union-controlled Democrats, bureaucrats and teachers. The country’s problems are deeper than that, the citizenry’s problems are deeper than that. The Middle Class is genuinely trapped and being eaten up by both those in high places as well as low. As a debater, Walker appears to be flawless. He is an ally and bridge builder (even though the left sees him as exclusively a lightning rod) - even so, he’s not someone the R party is going to push, we know who that will be already. No candidate will ever be endorsed that challenges the establishment.
Does Walker think the GOP must always offer alternatives to bad Dim policies and legislation? Sometimes the best alternative is to do nothing. Or, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Maybe we need effective spokesmen who can explain why bad Dim policies are bad, and why doing nothing is often the best policy.
There are times for the GOP to offer legislation, but I'm not impressed with any politician whose starting poing is that we must offer alternatives to all Dim proposals.
Like Christie, maybe Walker's best course is to continue as the governor of his state.
What Walker is doing is not being typecast as an angry, fire-breathing right-winger. We need to get the libertarian voters folks into the GOP fold, they're about as important to the base as social conservatives are. And Republicans, although they should never try to run as "moderates" to appeal to people who won't vote for them anyway, have got to sell conservatism in language that appeals to everybody. This is what Walker is doing, rejecting the Left's premises and talking about results.
Shame on you for being so stupid.
I have to agree, Republicans shouldn’t be the party of no.
They should be the party of Hell No!
A great alternative to Obamacare was suggested by Ted Cruz and others, just let insurance be sold across state lines. Competition will improve things for everyone.
Walker is tacking “to the middle”, trying to position himself as as “moderate” as Christi but more accomplished, and doing so as part of perliminaries to announcing a 2016 POTUS run
Party of no? You betcha. Sometimes a parent has to say NO to their child, sometimes a girl has to say NO to her boyfriend, and sometimes a political party has to say NO to a bunch of faculty lounge theorists that think they are smarter than everyone, but are actually delusional.
Libertarians could join Liberals and convince them to drop their financial issues.
