That is the hallmark of a leader who thinks multiple moves ahead while supporting free markets, capitalism and competition.

Exactly. This is the sort of thing, however, that separates the long-term thinkers from the political hacks, even here on FR.

The long-term thinkers realise that you need to incrementally deal with policy changes so that you don't introduce massive dislocations that will often only make things worse, and will know that Walker understands this and therefore isn't a "flip-flopper," but is simply thinking strategically.

The political hacks, on the other hand, will just use this - either because they're ignorant or because they're cynical - as an excuse to accuse Walker of being a "flip-flopper" so that they can undercut him and try to score points for whoever their own preferred candidate is.

The author of the article is apparently the latter type.

Ah, gee, Dad. You mean I have to read beyond the headline? That sort of deliberation will never work with the current crop of ill-educated, uninformed voters we have. All hail the mighty sound bite! /sarc/

What the loud-mouths on FR do not understand is that if you shifted this nation back to constitutional order overnight (even in a 1 year period) it would be the end of this nation....it would collapse.

We got into this mess through incrementalism and we can only get out through incrementalism.

The spoiled brats refuse to acknowledge that.
