Scott Walker stumbled over his own prior comments Wednesday, saying that when he called on the Boy Scouts to reinstate a ban on gay leaders because it “protected children,” he meant the ban protected them from media scrutiny.
“The protection was not a physical protection,” Walker said Wednesday at an event in South Carolina, according to The New York Times. Rather, the Wisconsin governor continued, he was referring to “protecting them from being involved in the very thing you’re talking about right now, the political and media discussion about it, instead of just focusing on what Scouts is about, which is about camping and citizenship and things of that nature.”

More flip flopping from the flip flopper? Is he running for president of flip floppersville? Was he for it before he was against it? Or against it before he was for it?
No spine.
Another career goes down in flames.
This is not a time for a middle of the road spineless compromiser. If such a candidate actually wins, we’ve won nothing.
Not a day that goes by I don’t become less and less impressed with him.
Can’t expect a double down from him.
Scott Herbert WALKER Bush...
In fact liberals really do not care about any minority group they use as a political wedge. They claim to but they are just using them as a weapon against their enemies.
Why not just oppose them instead of backtracking? Have the courage of your convictions. Don’t be ashamed of Christian-rooted beliefs and values. The world is perverted. Why kowtow to the perverted world? You just look like a weak moron who is more afraid of them. Don’t give them the power over you to make you say crap you don’t believe and try to tie you up in knots.
This is politics 101, none of our guys understands crap. They all just wimp out.
HAVE A G-DAMN SPINE.
More Pollutico crapola.
It’s become impossible to say what is obviously true. A culture of lies.
I thought I liked Scott Walker but I will NEVER vote for anyone who bows down to the gaystapo. If you can’t stand up to perverts, you can’t stand up to America’s other enemies.
SICK TO DEATH OF THE WUSSIES!
Wishy washy!
We do not need more of these types.
Wow, if this is true, I just crossed him off my list. Not much left now - down to 2.
Just the other day one of his advisors said. “‘Much easier to move from being conservative to moderate later on.”
Guess Walker missed that memo and decided to head full steam ahead.
Yikes, did he bring his etch-a-sketch?
Not good to be having to backtrack so early in his campaign, and at a time where he isn’t getting much positive publicity. But, at least this is a small potatoes error.
