Another Shamnesty pimp. No thanks.
Does not history teach that the candidate that makes it big in Iowa ends up as a loser?
Huckabee..... others
But neverthr less........ go Rick!
The idiot who trashed Walker yeserday should show up soon (spit)
Hmmmmm....The Alphabet media is obviously building up Walker for some reason. It looks like the strategy this election will be the same as last: build up, then take out conservative Republicans one at a time, until none is left standing. I wonder what they think they have in reserve to use to destroy Walker?
The Dropkick Murphy’s aren’t happy about this. It’s a shame, I like their music.
Walker is a viable candidate but he’s no superstar. That description is reserved for a once in a generation contender named Cruz.
I like Walker but he’s too full of compromise; ‘TOO’ full of it. He will not do more for the USA as President as did GW Bush who also hailed in as a Governor who was ‘Conservative’.
We don’t need a ‘nuts and bolts’ guy like Walker as Commander in Chief. That position is reserved for a leader who can ‘reignite the miracle that is America’. Walker would be more suited to stay in Wisconsin and finish out conservative reforms in that state and wait for 2024 when he will be only 56 years old.
Or he would make a fine VP.
Ted Cruz on the other hand is a once in a generation, perhaps lifetime superstar who can drive a team downfield to score time and time again and who can inspire the defense to frustrate the enemy to defeat.
After Obama-Pelosi-Reid, Cruz is the Constitutionalist who can do the most for America ***now*** to restore and promote American ideals and values.
Walker on the other hand is prone to fall into the GOP uniparty establishment.
Walker is the most qualified guy for the job.
Walker sure has a good record in Wisconsin. Probably better than any of the other candidates. Key word being RECORD. Not speeches and “promises”
Sorry I can’t get enthused over Walker because of his amnesty position. Cruz is the only one taking the correct positions every time and who can win. RINOS will be desperate to divert support away from him.
I keep hearing rumors that Kohl’s is going to fold.
Notice Walker doesn’t say anything about his open borders position on immigration while speaking at King’s summit?
I don’t want him anywhere near the presidency.
His voice is very good, I mean just the quality of his speaking voice. I was surprised when I heard him. Eh, to me that means a lot, I’m into voices for some reason.
Anyway, thanks for posting this, I shared it on Facebook.
I think we may have a battle royal on our own side, Walker v. Cruz!
I really don’t know much about Cruz, other than some folks just love him.
But, as the ace of spades guy put it: Scott Walker sits on a throne of his enemies skulls.
Thanks for posting. I watched his speech yesterday; and, quite frankly, I was pleasantly surprised. I like Walker, think he’s done some good things in WI, especially while fighting the unions and Dims. However, I agree with what some Freepers have said on previous posts, he has come off a bit unpassionate. Yesterday, IMHO he was quite different - didn’t seem to use a teleprompter or notes, had some passion, good speaking voice, etc. I thought he did well.
Not sure what speeches The Hill actually watched, but I watched almost all of them. I like Walker and his speech was fine, but by the time Ted finished, the crowd was standing in uproarious applause and looked like they would walk on hot coals to support him. Cruz is simply a tour de force in articulating a conservative vision for “reigniting the American dream”.
Cruz and Walker, both good candidates. Still at this time, Cruz is still a tad more conservative, and needs to be our choice.
Because many of the early primaries are still open primaries, in which Dimocrats can vote for Republican candidates, the nominee will be a GOPe approved candidate.
And we all know what the e in GOPe stands for: excrement.
2016 Contender Governor Scott Walker: Obama’s Exec Amnesty Hurting Middle Class Americans, GOP Must Block Funding
Posted by Staff
On Friday’s program, Laura was joined by likely 2016 presidential candidate, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Walker warned that Obama’s job-killing executive amnesty will have a devastating impact on American middle class workers, who are already struggling to make ends meet. Walker explained that Obama has demonstrated that he cannot be trusted and, as such, the Republican Party should not cut a deal with him on immigration.
Walker also told Ingraham that if the GOP wants to win elections, it must focus on appealing to working class voters through a message of economic populism.
Interview Excerpts: [LISTEN]
Walker on Obama’s exec amnesty: “This guy went from the audacity of hope to the audacity of the power play... Two weeks after (in his own words) his policies were on the ballot and they were resoundingly defeated, instead of doing what any normal person would do which is to back off and figure out a way to work with the new Senate majority, newly grown House majority, instead he’s doubled down and gone the opposite way, and I think really put in place a legal crisis (at a minimum) and a constitutional crisis in terms of the separation of powers.” [2:50]
Walker on whether GOP should strike a deal with Obama on immigration: “Not at all... on immigration we should be going full out against this president and Congress and the American people should push back on this, I think there’s a legal case to be made, the power of the purse has to be invoked.” [4:14]
Walker warns exec amnesty will harm American worker: “You’re going to see a whole wave of people trying to come into America now, and that will affect people’s jobs, it will affect middle class workers, it will affect the unemployment rate in this country. And I think its even worse by not securing the border, it’s a matter of national security, it’s not just people coming from bordering countries, this is an entry point that we have not secured, and we have groups like ISIS that are trying to threaten the American way of life.” [6:05]
Walker says GOP must appeal working class voters in order to win elections: “The bread and butter of what makes my state work and I think makes this country work are the men and women who every day go to work and work hard, not just for a paycheck, they work hard because they want their children and their grandchildren to have a better life than they’ve had. We need to be fighting for them every single day, and when we show...that Republicans care for the average working American, we will win presidential elections just like we won gubernatorial elections.”
Walker on whether GOP should use power of the purse to block Obama’s executive amnesty: “Absolutely.” [10:15]
Walker: “I believe this president measures success in government, by how many people are dependent on the government. By how many people are on Medicaid, by how many people are on food stamps, by how many people are on unemployment. We should measure success in this country by just the opposite – by how many people are no longer dependent on the government— not because we pushed them out into the cold, but because we understand that the reason we are exceptional is in this country the true freedom of prosperity doesn’t come from the mighty hand of the government; it comes from the power and people that control their own lives and their own destinies, and the dignity that comes from work. There’s a reason why in this country we take a day off to celebrate the 4th of July and not the 15th of April— because we celebrate our independence from the government not dependence on it.” [12:45]
