Walker’s overly ambitious and paid for. He’s a waffling, charisma-free, small-time, typical pol.
It sure seems to be that way though I've never seen it in writing.
Walker, who has a long history of winning against the Democrat/Union machine and, after defeating them three times in four years, crushing the government/Democrat/union cabal and passing Right-to-Work legislation. Plus the fact that his lt. governor is a solid conservative who will hopefully win the governorship and keep Walker’s legacy going. And the fact that Walker has always been a conservative and promoted the cause and conservatives to power every chance he gets. Who wisely talks from the center and always has, but then governs like a true conservative (I mean he won in Milwaukee County).
But, in the face of all that, 9YearLurker after allegedly lurking on FR since 1998 (that’s 17 years on FR for all those in Rio Linda) and finally getting a FReeper handle in 2007 is willing to throw that proven winner out in favor of...
An overly ambitious, waffling, charismatic typical NY-RINO... because promises. Go figure?
“What Carson is saying, whether he knows it or not, was that Wilson murdered Brown IN COLD BLOOD.
Does Carson REALLY BELIEVE THAT? Might Trump ask him on Wednesday?”
That isn't a good indicator of whether or a not a person is a good candidate. They also consider Clarence Thomas to be an "Uncle Tom."
For the last time:
A - M - N - E - S - T- Y - !
For clarification: Illegal immigration is a symptom of runaway government. Trump’s not the cure.
Plus, you dodged all my logic for emotionalism, just like a liberal would.
Your logic is sad.
We’re not about to get the government down to the size by which illegal immigration will be stopped other than by stopping it. And if we don’t turn away the bulk of those in the country illegally now, while stopping future, including family linked, legal and illegal invasions, we’ll never have a conservative vote again.
But somehow that just doesn’t sink in for you.
This is the same old s____t over and over again. Some Republican politician says that Republicans neglect black communities, or don’t have a good track record in black communities, or need to do more, blah blah blah. How, exactly, have Republicans “neglected” black communities? How have they “ignored” them? What is the basis for the comment, other than a route, Pavlovian response to the guilt trip, stereotype-enforcing question that the media loves to ask Republicans. They asked, he gave the right answer, and now the press can write stories about how even Republicans think that Republicans neglect blacks. Its so stupid.
Byrd wasn’t just a member, he was a Grand Kleagle.
The press never 'outed' Byrd either - because he was a Democrat ... they covered for him...
Democrats were the White Citizens Council - and they were the Sheriff’s who had the dogs and water cannons.
Did you know Senator Byrd - the longest serving head of the US Senate was a KKK member - AND a KKK officer?
sorry- he’s absolutely correct..
the fact the GOPe has not embraced Carson or Thomas Sowell or Allen West or Starr Parker or Dineen Borrelli, etc, etc, etc is proof of this and further proof how stoopid the GOPe is...
As soon as he goes racial he’ll be back to 4% in the polls.
I’m surprised that it took him this long. He is a liberal, after all.
I absolutely oppose the approach to racial issues that has been offered by the Left leaners in both parties, since the late 1940s; have steadfastly opposed the NAACP, SPLC, etc.. But frankly, that does not mean that I would not be willing to encourage initiatives in every community for self-improvement, for building a better community, for recognizing, as Booker T. Washington recognized, that while we all have separate interests, we also have common interests.
In rejecting Governmental intervention in society--in rejecting every form of social engineering;--there is not a logical basis for also rejecting a recognition of common interests. Right now there is an immense common interest, in Republicans' reassuring the law abiding residents of Black neighborhoods, that we all have a common interest in making sure that they are protected from the expanding criminal elements, which have been unleashed by corrupt local figures in their neighborhoods in such places as Baltimore, Ferguson, etc..
And given the displacement of working class Blacks by the flood of illegal entrants from South of the border, Republicans who show an interest in the welfare of the subject communities, have the best opportunity since the New Deal began the systematic corruption of Black neighborhoods, to actually reverse the trend.
Now, for the necessary disclaimer. My leaning politically, is definitely for Cruz or Trump at this point. But I believe that Dr. Carson clearly deserves our respect.
Very disappointing. I had high hopes for this man at one time.
Has the Republican Party neglected funding of Black communities?
An old video from 1992 shows that the payouts continued, even within communities that burned themselves up.

Ben who?
So what would non-neglect of “Negro communities” look like?
More free stuff?
