Sitting back and watching everything going on and the way the democrats and rinos attack all things T.E.A., I have decided that we need to focus on Scott Walker for pres. Because, he has already shown that he can withstand the attacks and if there is any dirt to be had on him the unions would have found it long ago. I truly love Ted Cruz and he is the smartest man in politics right now, but he would be crucified. He already has captured the wrath of the left. Therefore we can’t get him past the rinos. He is a male Sarah Palin. Rand, etc. don’t have the political sense to get elected. I think that Walker has earned the respect of even the rinos. So he could pull the party together. This is the first time I have thought about him as a viable candidate and it’s because of the news about the state of the state of WS. He’s a tough cookie. Look at all he survived.
Christie also stood up to the unions and yet he is a full blown RINO.
Walker like Christie has shown RINO tendencies but with more finesse.
The reason we can't go with a moderate any longer is because they are headed in the same direction as the democrats, their path just takes a little longer to get there.
Walker thinks in compromising ways and we can't afford that now. It's gone way past the point of compromise as in times past. It is now critical to American freedoms to strengthen and promote traditional roots of Americans.
For example, Walker proposes to take federal money from Obamacare and channel it to the poor and low income in his state who will select their plans while bypassing a state health exchange.
Sounds good but it is no solution. Obamacare will still define what and what is not a satisfactory health plan. So there won't be a plan for anyone to select except what the federal government approves and the plans that will be available will be too expensive and this will force the system to single payer which is the ultimate plan.
So Walker, like Ryan comes up with half-baked solutions that lead to the same results that democrats push for.
The proof of what I say here will be when you see the NY Times, and the state run media promote Walker as a candidate for the GOP. When these liberal media groups get behind a GOP candidate like they did for Ryan, then you know they are choosing a moderate to go up against their democrat.
Walker on NSA surveillance of ALL Americans charts the 'middle' road:
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is trying to chart a middle road in the debate over government surveillance in the name of national security.
Walker was asked Monday how he felt about the recent spat between two other Republicans, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
Paul is from the libertarian wing of the party and has been outspoken about his concerns over government surveillance without warrants, which he calls a threat to freedom.
But Christie called on Paul to make his point to the widows and orphans of those killed in the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
Walker says he sees merit in both arguments, and believes in preserving national security while also protecting individual freedoms.
Walker, Christie and Paul are all potential 2016 presidential candidates.
But prevention of 9-11 did not require an effective nullification of the 4th amendment, it required stricter surveillance of foreigners, not American citizens and permanent residents. Walker ignores this fact and decides to walk the 'compromise' tight rope. This is a sure indication of a RINO. He should just come right out and say the 4th Amendment like the 2nd Amendment is sacred and not up for debate, and that protections can be better provided by stricter border enforcement and surveillance of foreigners on American soil who are not protected by the Constitution.
Walk is untested and shows no fire in his belly that American sorely needs right now.
Reagan was no moderate and he won my landslides both times he ran for President. Reagan was demonized by the leftist press and their minions.
Cruz is like Reagan and better.
Cruz will of course be maligned by the leftist media, they hate him because he threatens their power base.
But America is still mostly conservative. It is a documented fact that Romney lost because he did not carry the blue collar conservative Perot voters who sat at home. Walker will not carry them either unless the dems put up Hillary and I don't think they will.
Cruz will carry the GOP and its base, and he will carry the Perot Bloc which is 6 million + strong. He can also carry the conservative Reagan democrats who are 5 million + strong.
If you succumb to the dem maligning of Cruz, then you are playing into their hands. They will brainwash as many people as possible against Cruz just as they did Reagan but it will not work because the country is still conservative.
When conservatives are nominated, they win.
When moderates are nominated, they lose.
GW Bush ran as a conservative and operated as a moderate. Conservatives gave him a GOP House and Senate for his second term and he squandered it. Never again.
McCain was a moderate who 'talked' conservative when it was convenient for him.
Romney was a RINO and a liar.
Never again.
Walker is not what we need.
