I’ve known you on this site for years. Thank you for standing up for our governor. I’m tired of all the knee jerk a$$holes who think they know what Walker stands for and are never right.

About three weeks ago I replied To someone who thought Walker was not pro life. For goodness sakes his father is a minister. Walker’s the guy who was helpful in shutting down Planned Parenthood sites and has commented about being anti abortion.

The people on this site have become so focused on one person and bad mouth all others that I fear we’ll insure the election of democrats because they’ll stay home if they don’t get their way. Walker didn’t seem to flinch when Dale Schultz started voting on the democrat side of the aisle. He and the rest of the republicans (and yes to this site...gasp some are RINO types) stuck together because they needed to do the right thing.

I know I’m swimming up stream here, but I’ll stand gladly with Bill Buckley and say let’s vote for the conservative most likely to get elected...... and for heaven’s sake don’t stay home because your guy didn’t win.

So thanks afraidfortherepublic for standing up for Walker. All Republicans have flaws, but let’s not get so pissed that you feel it’s better to stay home on Election Day.. Then the democrats win.

I like WAlker, he has the kind of courage sorely lacking on the Republican side.

I like Scott Walker. I was immensely impressed and elated when he crushed the forces of darkness in the statehouse.

But I have heard him mumble and backtrack on illegal immigration. I have heard him criticize Ted Cruz and others for "not working to get something done"--when getting less 'done' in Washington is what we need more of.

Does that make me want to oppose him in the future? Hell no! I will be eager to hear him sharpen his policies in the future.

But I gotta say...if every time he or other potentially great conservative candidates are questioned or criticized, the response is throw around "@$$holes" etc., that isn't going to help him or any of us who want to be in his corner.
