Why is it that Obama questions ISIS’s muslim credentials and he gets a pass, meanwhile if anyone questions his Christian creds, they get exchoriated?

Me too. I would prefer Cruz/Walker, but am thinking the better chance to win would be Walker/Cruz. At least today......I reserve the right to change my mind daily....lol.

Like you said, I would be comfortable either way.

Hey if the choice is between Jeb and Walker, who have the same position on amnesty

I've seen this repeated by a few crazies here. It's a moronic assertion, some days I shake my head at the insanity of the circular firing squad here........

AFTR - as you know, there’s probably no public official other than Sarah Palin who has been as closely examined as Gov. Scott Walker. And he got his exam not only from the media and left-wing nutbags, but from the John Doe investigation that had unprecedented access to records, subpoena powers, pre-dawn SWAT style raids on private homes, public and PRIVATE emails, and in any honest assessment was a democrat-liberal-progressive sponsored Grand Inquisition led by Democratic Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm

Yet they came up with nothing on Walker himself. Not. One. Thing.

He stands alone in the field of potential candidates in this aspect, and the games have not even begun for the others.

In any southern state Walker would be a moderate Republican or a conservative Democrat(rare breed)

Hang on there C-Va...I'm going to resist going all profane and personal on ya. Didn't mean to ramp up your BP. You won't be able to vote for Walker if you stroke out.

Two years is a long time to ask me to put aside the primary issue of our time. Compromising is hard to do, some of the Walker sluts dove in early.

As soon as a candidate is a threat to the left’s stranglehold on power, their fangs come out and they try to destroy the person.

And not just candidates.
Joe the Plumber got more media scrutiny than any Dem candidate.

Abortion was made legal in Roe v. Wade. Seven of those nine justices were appointed by Republican Presidents. Homosexuality was made legal in Lawrence v. Texas. Five of those nine justices were appointed by Republican Presidents. As a social conservative, I no longer recognize what has happened to my country. The descent has been enabled under the watch of Republican administrations and Congresses. We have lost basically every battle. We have been led into the cesspool at the bottom of the slippery slopes by Republicans. Since we are already in the cesspool, the threat of a Democrat politician if I don’t vote Republican no longer has any sway over me. The lesser of two evils no longer is the threat that it used to be.

Enjoy your handbasket.

I look at what he does more than what he says. Not that his words are not important, but his deeds are the gold standard for who he is.

I’ve not been this excited over a candidate since Reagan’s first term. More so, actually.

Walker’s response to the media when asked a gotcha:

“Go pee up a rope”.

So far, he seems hip to their bag of trick questions, even though the questions are pretty old and worn out. He should be getting some about global warming, abortion, women’s income, the 2nd Amendment, soon. I’d love to see him send the “reporters” back to their puppet masters to ask for fresher trick questions.

This article amuses the heck out of me. Threat to Social Order, indeed! Can you think of anyone more law abiding and mainstream? Minister’s son, Eagle Scout, delegate to Boys’ State and Boys’ Nation, squeaky clean legislator, brilliant County executive, courageous and SMART governor, devoted family man!

Last week someone accused him of being “disruptive in French class”.

What will they think of next?

Unless you're moving to another country we're in this together. Abortion and homosexuality are important, but they just aren't my salient issues when electing a President. Foreign policy and economics are more important to me. Sadly, all Democrat voters pretty much vote over the same issues. So they all gravitate to one candidate more often than not.

People like you me fracture the party because our votes depend on different issues.

>>I have a lot of questions about Walker, and it ain’t no “single issue”.<<

Just ask the same questions of the Universe of potential candidates. No one will have all the answers you want, I guarantee (even Reagan could not pass the FR “Quien es mas Conservative” test).

Remember: Politics is the art of the possible. Sarah won’t run but Cruz might be worth a hard look. Jeb v. Walker answers itself in the latter pretty readily by most yardsticks.

But YMMV — just don’t cut off your nose...

The fact that Walker beats Dems in all his fights shows that he is not conservative enough,
The guy we want only picks all his fights with Dems to specifically lose them, so he can tell us that its others fault.

A REAL conservative would say :
That darn Boehner and McConnell lost my fight again. Dabnabit”

In other words, you want my votes but not my values. No thanks.
