"......Along with the unmistakable contrast of his church-going family with the profane and progressive activists, Walker cited two Bible verses. He didn’t recite them, but for anyone who knows their Bible—as Walker, the son of a Baptist pastor, does—the meaning was clear. The verses that helped him withstand the hatred were Romans 16:20 (“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you”) and Isaiah 54:17 (“no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.”) - Scott Walker: W. Without the Compassion

Scott Walker is a good guy, and we really shouldn’t be bashing him.

Give the guy a break. He’s in the top tier.

I’m not going to bash him. I am going to vote for Cruz if I can, but I’m not going to bash Walker. I had some reservations about Walker over immigration but he says now he’s not for citizenship for illegals, so I’ll take him at his word.

Now one person I WILL bash is Jeb Bush. Over and over and over again until he’s toast.

Walker on Bush's fundraising: . "Yeah, he'll have by far the biggest report. There's a lot of people who are loyal to that family because of an ambassadorship or an appointment or something like that, so those people are going to show up big on his first report. What we're hoping going forward are not donors of obligation but donors of passion, people who are passionate about the reforms we bring to the table."

The analysis found that Walker's shifts on more than a dozen issues came an average of 15 months before the Iowa caucuses — almost a year later than did Romney's.
Walker could shift back for the general election.

GOPe desperate not to give it to the guy who actually delivers what he promised. There were FReepers pulling this when Walker astutely and tactically backed away from RTW legislation, let it get passed and signed it.

Don’t project your passes, just be there to catch them.

Walker is the real deal.

GOP 2016 primary hopefuls have shifted into Walker opposition mode.

Walker beat them at their own game, he rolled the Democrat Party in WI and he is going to roll them in the 2016 election.

....”A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that six in 10 voters sided more closely with the sentiment that Mr. Bush would represent too much of a return to the policies of the past, compared to about a quarter who said he’d provide the new ideas and vision the country will need for the future.”...

Might as well write Hillary a big check - the Democrat Party thanks you for your service.

Your real problem, other than facing reality, is with Walker.

Tell that to all the folks that helped the Left usher Obama in for a second term - no matter how you play it/rationalize it/twist it, they are just as responsible as those who voted for him and they aided and abetted a 0% conservative because they couldn't countenance a 85% conservative. Many, like you, are prepared to do it all over again - then bitch about how the GOPe screwed us all...never ending story time and meets Einstein's definition of insanity..

Walker does not shift positions. Only LIARS who twist his words and ignore his policies try to claim Walker changes positions.

None of that is true.

Frankly, if you are a Cruz fan, great. I love Ted also. But you are not helping Cruz when you tear down another decent conservative who has a clear track record of being a conservative, fighting for conservatism and espousing conservative policy.

You still going on with that ridiculous train of thought?

If a candidate can ‘t answer to any kind of criticism then do you really want them as President?

Your logic is laughable. I criticized Obama plenty and he still became President.

If you have no answer for Walker’s shift then do me a favor and stop wasting my time with the kiddie nonsense.

It is true. Walker himself admitted it. Plus it is not as if Walker hadn’t taken a shot himself, proclaiming only governors should be elected president. Did you cry to him about that in the same way?

Please enlighten me on what Walker flipped on and I will refute you.
