His habit of saying “I don’t know” to base-bait questions, whether it’s the theory of evolution, Barack Obama’s patriotism or Barack Obama’s Christianity, isn’t pleasing anybody.

Gov. Scott Walker sure as shootin' isn't pleasing the Left!

Unless he comes out CLEARLY on the side of the citizens, the rule of law, and American sovereignty he won’t get elected.

Not accepting wishy-washy, not amnesty if they pay a fine bs.

The citizens are fed up with the invasion of our country and we MUST elect a President who WILL enforce the borders and laws.

He really has said more than “I don’t know.” He’s pretty insistent that such questions are irrelevant to his running a country.

Anyone believe that the new manager at the local plant is going to be asked if he believes in evolution? I doubt it. They care more if he has the ability to run the operation.

Do you need to believe in evolution to run this nation? The majority of presidents were Christians who believe in a Creator, so apparently it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with ability to properly guide the nation.

This is why I was furious when Mitt, Rush and Drudge shoved Scott into the spotlight, he wasn’t prepared for it just yet. Now the MenSeekingMen have opened fire on him before he had a chance to get a defense team in place. Now he’s having to take all the arrows since nobody else on our side was elevated as a target.

Perhaps Mr. Kilgore should seek out the Democrat legislators who ran to Illinois to hide if they think Mr. Walker is vacillating and wishy-washy.

“I don’t know” is the perfect answer to base-bait questions, whether it’s the theory of evolution, Barack Obama’s patriotism or Barack Obama’s Christianity.

  1. Evolution: that's why we call it the theory of evolution. There is plenty of proof of evolution within species but nothing other than a theory between them.

  2. BO’s patriotism: He loves America in the same way a molester loves children. Of course, the left calls that patriotism, but the other half of the country disagrees.

  3. BO’s Christianity: He doesn't even carry around a fake Bible for show as Bill Clinton did and the last "Christian" church he attended regularly was Rev. Wright's 'G.D.America' church whose Christian credentials would be questioned by every reasonable sect and fringe of Christian leadership from Rev. Graham to Cardinal Donahue. BO has sided with the Muslims time after time. It makes his claims to be a Christian about as credible as Adolph Eichmann's claims that he personally liked and respected Jews.

The Left has been firing on Scott Walker for some time now.

He's learned to duck their partisan shots and he's no stranger to their leading "gotcha" questions.

That is not the subject about which this moron is accusing him of being wishy-washy.

He thinks Walker is “wishy-washy” because Walker said he does not personally know whether Barack Obama loves this country, and that he does not personally know whether Barack Obama is a Christian.

Yes, the article is THAT inane.

“The news about Walker ought to be that he’s on the brink of double-crossing 2014 voters by pushing through a right-to-work statute in Wisconsin,...’

Walker never said he wouldn’t sign RTW, even when the media whined and whined about it. He said he didn’t think the bill would ever reach his desk.

He didn’t answer their question and they didn’t get the ‘gotcha’ they wanted, that really pisses them off.

They tried to get him to denounce Rudy’s assertion that Obama is not American and hates America.

Walker said something to the effect that he would let Rudy speak for himself.

He also might have added - “and I think Obama’s actions, words, and policies speak for THEMselves as well.”

Yes he has, but the msm needs a sound-bite that they think will help shape public opinion.

they must really be threatened by all of the negative crap they are posting about him lately.. He is going to get and sign, “right to work” bills soon. He has all but killed public service unions in his state so far. We need an application of that nation wide.

Walker will only get elected if he is CLEARLY on the side of the citizens, the rule of law, and American sovereignty.

He has not been clear on this at all.

Immigration is a misnomer, what is happening is not immigration.

It is cheap labor importation through purposeful non-enforcement of borders and laws.

Not voting for any more cheap labor importers.

If he wants the votes of conservatives he has to be on the side of the citizens, not The Cheap Labor Express.

Exactly. And I think the left is slowly realizing that their "Gotcha!" questions on social issues and things like evolution just ain't gonna cut it this time around, not with the world in the shape it's in.
