No, I'm not saying that at all, but Ted Cruz sure didn't press the flesh and slobber all over Mitt like Walker did.

An endorsement is an endorsement.

Also, seeing how Walker was the Governor of the State, he supported his party. Cruz wasn't even a Senator then. Walker should not be penalized for helping his own party, in fact, I'd think less of him for not doing it. Rep. Paul Ryan is from Wisconsin, I don't agree with Ryan on all issues, I do where Ryan said he believes life starts at conception. Walker had to be a team player.

You can dislike that, I know the world is all fouled up and yes, Romney's foreign policy would have been better and lives would have been saved instead of ISIS springing into the picture. Walker did the correct thing unless someone is for Obama. Cruz did the correct thing unless someone is for Obama.

Hope for a perfect candidate and one ends up getting nothing.

Besides, Walker has his accomplishments. Oh, cut and paste photos of Walker with Romney.

Wrong!

Walker should have rejected Mitt Romney for the same reasons that all conservatives of good conscience and fitness of mind rejected that man.

Mitt supported almost the entirety of the left-liberal agenda that's destroying this country throughout his tenure as Governor of Massachusetts. It's in his record, and cannot be denied. It's an abysmal stain on his character that was created by him, long before he ever considered running for President.

If Scott Walker is to be trusted with carrying out a conservative agenda for America, then there's no way on God's green earth that he would have swallowed his principles and wholeheartedly given his support to such an abject traitor to those things that made this country great.

Mitt Romney had a record in public office that would make a liberal Democrat blush with pride. He only became our nominee through incredible political gamesmanship and the backing of those who have incredible power and wealth, but the conscience of snakes. He stepped on far better men (and women) to get where he did.

Yes, in the final hour, with nowhere left to turn, and Obama poised to recieve another four years to destroy our republic, most Republicans struck their colors and gave Mitt the nod. It was a shameful act on the part of millions who knew better. In my view, we're all being punished for that sin.

But, some Republicans did so while holding their noses, while others did so in glee. Scott Walker didn't pinch his nose, as the photos show.

I think more of us from Wisconsin need to better describe the stuff Scott Walker GOT DONE here versus many of the other candidates who just spout off hot-air soundbites on Meet The Press every couple months.

The guy proposed eliminating the ability of government unions to collectively bargain. This was they biggest problem in Wisconsin. The unions had taken over the State. The minute he proposed the bill, 50,000 union types laid siege to our statehouse and camped out there for weeks. Walker figured out how to still maneuver the bill through and get it done. My property tax bill (which is a huge expense here in WI) has gone down for three straight years under this guy.

He also got through a very tough Voter ID bill, which despite every leftist judge attempt to stop, should be in place this spring finally.

Then he got through concealed carry, tax-incentives for business, was a trailblazer governor in shooting down accepting Obamacare and the state exchanges and he immediately joined the amnesty lawsuit as well.

The guy just keeps preaching the Reagan mantra of freedom for Americans from government, and acting out his beliefs.
