Honeymoon Over: Scott Walker Under Fire for New Open Borders Amnesty Advocate Staffer Who Mocks Iowa
Breitbart ^ | 3/16/2015 | Mathew Boyle

Posted on 03/16/2015 8:28:38 PM PDT by gwgn02

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made another massive misstep on Monday, hiring Liz Mair of Mair Strategies to handle communications and social media for his campaign-in-waiting.

Mair’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens, wide-open-borders immigration policies, and public advocacy for the Senate “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill is sure to dog Walker in Iowa, South Carolina, and other early presidential states.

During the Senate Gang of Eight bill fight, Mair very publicly and very aggressively promoted the amnesty bill—pushing it to media and making the case for the need for it over and over again. She claims her advocacy was done out of the good of her heart, for free, because for religious reasons she believes in amnesty and open borders. But Mair wouldn’t answer who was paying her bills for her advocacy during the timeframe of the “Gang of Eight” bill in early 2013 through the end of the last Congress–when asked by Breitbart News if any specific tech companies or a select group of Wall Street billionaires were paying her.

“We’re contractually barred from disclosing our clients,” Mair said.

That could mean anyone—even foreign companies potentially—were paying her during the timeframe she was publicly advocating for the amnesty bill. While she didn’t have to disclose it to the public at the time now that she’s hitched to Walker the Wisconsin governor owns everything she said and did.

“Didn’t W surround himself with some amazing talent? That alone says a lot of positive things about him.”

W chose Karl Rove and others of that ilk.

So I assume you were making a joke.

I can’t believe I’m reading this pro liberal positions agreement/crap on this thread. Amnesty is okay? Abortion is okay? Faggot marriage is okay? Good God!!! This fella Walker hires a gal who is a complete lib wreck and WE get accused of straws or circular firing squads!!!!? Then their is the terrorist groups, The Muslim Brotherhood and C.A.I.R.’s big time agenda setter, Grover Norquist, coming out for Walker!!!!! The Walker fans won’t/can’t answer or explain that one either. Why hasn’t walker told Norquist thanks but no thanks you muslim terrorist POS!

Zing -- right on target.

But you know, in fairness, sometimes it takes a lot of thunkin' on the ol' noggin before a truth finally becomes clear. I know it took me 30 years.

The biggest red flag for me was when a Walker supporter implied that "jealousy and hate" were behind many folks' rejection of Walker.

Now, who does that sound like?

Little red flags, early. I'm paying attention this time because Republicans who used to get my vote just because they were Republicans, are now denied my vote. It finally sunk in: You get what you vote for. I understand now this difficult truth: it is worse to vote for a RINO than to stay home or vote third party. You get what you vote for, so I only think in terms of what I'll vote FOR.

I admit that I'm really thinking that with the Republican party in the completely psychotic state it is in today, the only sensible risk is to go third party.

I'm halfway pulling for Cruz and/or Palin to boldly take it to that step. I believe in my heart that vast numbers of Americans are ripe and begging for an alternative to the Dem/Pepsi Republican/Coke branding of Government As Usual.

I wish people would take heart and remember: the only reason Democrats have to cheat, whether by illegals voting or by outright fraud and ginning, is because if they didn't, they'd lose. They'd lose because they are the minority.

The majority is sick of both Coke and Pepsi. They've got nothing there, so they decline the whole thing.

They'll vote for a right alternative, and I believe Cruz articulates it.

Like I said, either Ted Cruz is all about the negative or the Media is doing a good job hiding all of his visionary projects like his great visionary plan for Obamacare.

Keep feeding the irony troll,

So ... you think a suitable Republican candidate must have a replacement plan for Obamacare, or else be perceived negatively?

Correct?

So, Usagi, please confirm: In your view, a Republican candidate must have a "great visionary plan for Obamacare" or else that candidate is "all about the negative"?

So you would vote for a Republican who had a different "great visionary plan" as a replacement for Obamacare?

Because if that is what I am asked to vote for in the 2016 GOP presidential candidate, my vote will go third party. You can vote for tyranny if you want. I will vote for candidates whose "great visionary plan" is to reduce government meddling in Americans' freedoms.

Lets face it Finny, Usagi_yo is a troll for Walker, and most likely a Libertarian-Bot
trying to disguise his purpose. But ultimately they all fail to hide for long in the shadows.

Hey Ma! I think I've found where all the Birthers disappeared to.

They're astroturfing for Cruz. They have a ping tree and if you say something about Cruz that they don't like, , they'll ping each other and try and bully you.

Cruz Offers ObamaCare Replacement Law!

Sen. Cruz Introduces the Health Care Choice Act!

Do you understand irony now?

This is my favorite part:

Senator Cruz's Obamacare replacement plan is right on his official cruz.senate.gov

“And cruz didnt [sic] say replacement”

Really? After just getting annihilated you’re going to just mumble and disassemble your way out of here?

You’re not going to apologize or anything?

In the first story you posted at the first link I had to read
to the very bottom to see,

the senator still believes that “Every last word of Obamacare must be repealed."

Senator Cruz never said "Replacement", that word belongs to "Randy Desoto" the author
who placed it in the title. You are propagating the deception from the author.

Now, you said that you've read Cruz' replacement, this simply is Not true.
I repeat, what you said is not true.

Now, in the second story you posted They quote Cruz again that Obamacare must be repealed.
It goes further by quoting Senator Cruz,

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today introduced the Health Care Choice Act,
which would remove Obamacare's costly insurance mandates and allow residents
in one state the option to purchase a health insurance plan of their choice in
any other state.

This is not a Replacement, read it again until you understand that. This
act, or Bill will allow capitalism and free enterprise of healthcare across
state lines. Not a directive of healthcare controlled by the Government
which includes death panels, mandated taxes, or penalties.

In neither story you linked did Cruz say ""Replacement"". Cruz flat out said
Repeal and that was quoted by the Authors of both stories.

You took the deception/lie from the first article and ran with the lie to support Walker.

Unless you can quote Cruz saying Replacement and clearly show "A Replacement" as You
clearly stated, you'll get no apology from me.

You didn't read or understand what you propagated as truth, you allowed the
deception to promote Walker. Is that how Walker plans to win? Deception?

The "The Health Care Choice Act" is not a Replacement. You should look into that
before you dig a bigger hole.

Maybe you'll just change the meaning of Replacement, Is, Is.

No, frankly, although I know what the word "irony" means, I fail to see what "irony" you see in the fact that Cruz has made it crystal clear that he wants to OBLITERATE Obamacare rather than replace it, while Scott Walker has remained pretty fuzzy except in that he thinks Obamacare is a mess; it seems to me that Walker just might have a "better replacement" in mind, but I don't know because as far as I can see, he hasn't said. Cruz, on the other hand, has been detailed and explicit in explaining his "solution" to the Obamacare disaster. You think that's "ironic"?????????

From the article you posted with your claims that Cruz has offered an "ObamaCare Replacement Law" --

Though Cruz offered the Health Care Choice Act to address some of the specific issues that will be raised if the Supreme Court rules against the Obama Administration regarding the exchanges, the senator still believes that "Every last word of Obamacare must be repealed. And while we continue that fight, we must also send bill after bill to the president's desk to stop its harmful effects."

Now, you, Usagi-yo, can continue to deceive yourself and call that the same as calling for a "replacement" to Obamacare. Is that the "irony" you refer to?

I have no idea. What I DO know is that you are doing a very poor job of explaining exactly what you mean by "irony" in the context of comparing Cruz's well-stated, crystal-clear approach to Obamacare (get rid of it) to Walker's fuzzy stance on it.
