Walker should be strongly objecting the "party of no" designation, which is just a derogatory tag placed on the GOP by the 'Rats and their lackeys in the media. What the heck is wrong with saying NO to just about the whole Obama agenda if that agenda obviously destroys the principles on which the country has prospered more than any in the world for over 200 years?
As to Obamacare, Walker undoubtedly knows that the GOP in Congress has already put forth "creative alternatives," ideas like high deductible health insurance plans with tax-deductible medical savings accounts, permitting the purchase of health insurance across state lines, portability of health insurance policies from job to job, more flexibility for the health insurance policy holder in choosing plans, and meaningful medical malpractice tort reforms to reduce costs. Republicans are capable of explaining that introducing more health insurance plan choices available to the citizen is by far a superior concept to the unworkable top-down statist control of health care marketplace with rationing, exemplified by Obamacare, and will provide greater access to quality health care with lesser inflationary pressures on costs.
Perhaps Walker, a neophyte coming to Washington, was intimidated by talking to the left-leaning "The Hill" and was trying to avoid ruffling their feathers, like too many Republicans have been doing in DC for decades. Hopefully, Walker will get more feisty with leftist media if he wants to show he is a legitimate contender for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016.
Thanks justiceseeker93. I like Walker, I’d vote for him in a heartbeat, but my feeling is, we need him right where he is in order to transform the party’s political fortune in his state. That will bear good results at the state and federal level going forward. He’s young enough to seek the office of POTUS for a long time yet.
I do not think Walker has what t takes upstairs to be President. I wish him luck with Wisconsin and hope he stays there.
He’s already shown that he is not. How many RINOs have to lose before a bull elephant with tusks and a willingness to use them shows the establishment how it’s done.
“Walker, a potential presidential candidate in 2016, also told The Hill the GOP can shed its reputation as the “party of no” only if it offers creative alternatives to Democratic policies they oppose, like ObamaCare.”
THIS is a major part of the problem. We Never again need to offer dim lite garbage... we know the problems and we need to be proactive with Conservative plans and when they work we contrast our way with the way of failure. Walker sounds like a loser and a follower. Reagan would have never said, “I offer my version of a rat plan”.
