That will depend on how many MORE policy positions that Scott Walker has flipped-flopped on by then.

What amuses me about this is that some of you get mad when he changes his mind about something even when he changes it to a position you agree with! It is as if a candidate ever expressed an opinion or policy at any time with which you disagree, he is forever unacceptable as a candidate, even if he later changes his position to one with which you agree!

Anyone actually watching Walker instead of cherry picking secondhand news looking for gotchas would interpret this as Walker saying the ethanol subsidy should be gone but not immediately. Sometimes however Walker’s “not right away” has proven faster than any one thought. This is realistically characteristic of anyone riding a wave of political movement. He can’t really know where the wave wants to go and how fast or vigorously, until he is on it.

B.S.

When he does something right, like stop running away from the Right-to-Work fight and signing a Bill he counseled his own party to NOT pursue, I have applauded him.

When he presumably, the jury is still out, walked away from hit Amnesty and Open-Border positions, I am happy he made the right choice.

When he pandered to the Iowans on the RFS, after being on the correct side of that issue for so long, we have spoken out against that action of his.

Quit trying to protect your candidate and be objective.

Yes. When a grown up makes drastic changes in their core beliefs it does not make them immediately more qualified for the top job. It makes them less trustworthy in real life. I know the Church of Walker members think all criticism of HIM should be banned or something. That kind of attitude is as big a red flag as this one flip-flop.

Then you don’t get the value of honesty and integrity. If someone is flipping close to running for an office, it is disingenuous. They can’t be trusted and could flip again once elected. Seems obvious considering all the RINOs have done this repeatedly.

Might be time to escape Mexifornia. Looks like the values of that fascist Mecca are rubbing off on you.
