Sorry, but no amount of head hiding in the sand will change the fact that Walker was a dyed-in-the-wool CoC amnesty man up until a few weeks ago. There's no running away from his original interview in July 2013 in which he expressed his EXPLICIT support for the Gang of 8.

You're the one with no clue.

Walker Supports Gang’s Bill

A most damning list on Walker’s squishiness.

1) Common Core was put in place before Walker became governor. He eliminated Common Core. LIE

2) Walker never supported amnesty, even before he was governor. LIE

3) Walker supported right-to-work but had other priorities first. It is not law, happily signed by Walker. LIE

4-5) So, because he is helping citizens get health insurance through the only means allowed by law...he is bad? STUPID

6) Public sector unions were neutered under Walker. Period. LIE

7) NBA stadium put ZERO taxpayer money at risk. It was a very creative and novel way to finance the deal without allowing owners to put taxpayers on the hook. LIE

8) He signs pro-life bills, but because he doesn’t do a happy dance there is something wrong with him.....wow. Can you say you people are fetchin’ insane?!

9) So Walker does not support shutting down the government because he has always found a way to get things done. Horrible man.

10) Nitpick, nitpick, nitpick...Wisconsin now has concealed carry, but all these MORONS can do is nitpick it apart. Jerks.

11) So, Walker accepted the court’s decision on gay marriage. Bad man for respecting the rule of law!!!

12) Walker has said he wants to phase out the subsidies over time so the ethanol producers can adapt their businesses to compete in the open market...something they are not allowed to do currently. Walker would let them try. These people have a problem with Walker supporting capitalism.

This list is nothing but lies, nitpicking and total insanity written by an absolute MORON.

So in his video-recorded interviews and public pronouncements, Walker is lying to himself?

Good news - too many are ready to call both Cruz and Walker unclean; while I'm not as thrilled about Walker as I am enthusiastic about Cruz, I still won't trash him this early in the game. Money to Cruz and patience with Walker to try to insure one or the other is still alive at the end. While Walker has "evolved" his immigration opinions, I doubt that it is merely a ploy.

Cruz and Walker seem to be the two most all-around conservatives we have and if something derails one or the other, we will want a solid choice to prevent folks from being so disillusioned/depressed that they allow the Dim to prevail again. If our side doesn't take the WH, I would imagine we are about toasted to the point of no return - with the help of the ever-constant commies in the House and Senate and the compliance of the RINOs, another Dim presidency might very well be the no-return tipping point as they doubletriple down on the lawlessness.

So, Mr. Timber “Whatever” Rattler, what about Ted Cruz - is he lying to himself, to the voters? He’s gotten pretty hard to pin down.

Walker’s on record in posted current quotes and links to this thread, but you want to bring up an old, truncated interview and make that his forever and dying proclamation on immigration.

What are your views on 5-fold increased legal immigration - as Sen. Ted Cruz is advocating?

Don't agree with it, and I think that Cruz is wrong.

Next question.

That Walker interview was from 2013. It's not that old.

Next.

No.

Walker supported comprehensive immigration reform as it was being sold to the public until he figured out it was amnesty.

I do not see why that is so difficult for you to comprehend.

Walker has governed as a conservative. You cannot point to ONE act of Walker’s that was not conservative, so you twist his words and use liberal sources (who hate Walker) to support your irrational hatred of Walker.

It is obvious that you are a blind supporter of someone more liberal than Walker.

Oh please. You really believe that? If so, then you're admitting that Walker was clueless.

So, you support Cruz, who wants to give the illegals work permits, taking jobs from Americans while simultaneously increasing H1B visas by 500%.
