From what I've been able to garner, Scott Walker didn't finish his degree because he had a job and went into politics. Oh! And there's that other consideration, getting married and starting a family. [He married a widower 15 years older than he is and they decided to start a family ASAP.] He describes it nicely in this talk to the Christian Businessman's Committee in Madison, WI.
So would CRUZ. I like our options.
Yup. Jeb Bush falls very much in line with previous candidates, ALL OF WHOM LOST!!!!
I couldn’t read past the headline and the source.
Mother Jones is not where I go to find a good gauge of conservatism.
And I already know that Walker has surrendered on the issues I care most about.
I think Ted Cruz will be even more conservative.
Perhaps. And Ted Cruz would be even better.
Maybe he's too conservative to get elected ..... :)
Romney's out, Christies probably out, how about Jeb or Lindsey or Huckleberry?
The AVERAGE GOP contender has been MORE conservative than Reagan in the last 4 elections??? Puh-leeeeeeze.

I don’t think getting married was why he dropped out. He dropped out in the spring of 1990. He didn’t marry his wife until 1993. Getting married and starting a family probably factored in to why he didn’t go back to school but it is likely that it was due more to his political life than family responsibilities. My husband worked a full time job, two part time jobs and went to night school while we were married and had 3 children so it can be done.
I think he dropped out of school so he could run for office and get a job. Right after he dropped out he ran against State Rep. Gwen Moore. He ran for student offices at Marquette while he was a student there.
I’m a Cruz supporter but this college degree issue is so silly.
Oh man! That graphic is priceless!
Mother Jones classifies Scott Walker as most conservative GOP candidate since Goldwater. (I’m sure they are trying to sink his candidacy.)
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Prof. Robert George, founder of APP, released this statement after watching Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s interview with Chris Wallace on Sunday:
The Republican Party was born of the witness of the “Conscience Whigs” in defiance of the slave power. That is our moral heritage. Today, when the great moral cause of our time is securing the right to life of the child in the womb, we need the witness of Conscience Republicans.Maggie Gallagher is the editor of ThePulse2016.com.A Conscience Republican would treat Roe v. Wade the way Abraham Lincoln treated the pro-slavery Supreme Court decision of Dred Scott v. Sandford.
A Conscience Republican would refuse to treat the abominable principle of Roe—that the child in the womb has no rights which others need to respect—as binding on the president or Congress.
A Conscience Republican, if elected President, would defy that principle in the ways Lincoln as President defied the equally abominable principle of Dred Scott.
A Conscience Republican would not bow down before a usurpative and anti-constitutional edict of the Supreme Court.
A Conscience Republican would stand with the Founding Fathers and Lincoln for constitutional supremacy and against Dred Scott’s doctrine of judicial supremacy.
A Conscience Republican would lead the effort to enact legislation, pursuant to Congress’s authority under sections 1 and 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, to protect the basic human rights of the child in the womb and provide the Supreme Court with an opportunity to reverse its appalling ruling in Roe v. Wade.
What we at the American Principles Project—and millions of pro-life conservative Americans—are looking for in a nominee and in a President is a Conscience Republican.
