1.Scott Walker has been the only one who has defeated democrats .

2.Walker has passed conservative laws in his state.

3.Scott Walker turned a deficit into a huge surplus in his state while lowering taxes

4.Scott Walker lowered Taxes.

Actions and results mean everything. Words and liberal media spin mean NOTHING. Walker has a record of passing conservative laws which has vetted him and shows who he is a conservative. Words mean nothing.

You want to set up a circular firing squad to get Jeb and Hillary

Sneakier than that.

It’s not a subsidy. It a mandate for oil companies to use xxx number of gallons of ethanol. Corn is just the easiest way to get it in enough quantity.

When it’s not your candidate, it’s flip-flopping.

"I'm willing to go forward on continuing the Renewable Fuel Standard." Corporate Crony Capitalism and Open Borders History.

Nice of you to only quote one part of what Walker said.

Your dishonesty is showing.

Let me educate you about Walker's position.

Currently, ethanol producers cannot sell ethanol as a fuel into the market. They are only allowed to do so by the EPA program.

Many jobs are tied to ethanol. Yes, they rely on subsidies.

Walker wants to change the rules to open access for ethanol to compete with gasoline, diesel, CNG, hydrogen, etc. Walker wants ethanol to compete in the open market.

The subsidies would phase out over time.

This is the compromise a leader makes when writing legislation in order to get the votes necessary in Congress to pass that legislation.

Morons just want to just the rope without any consideration for the consequences.

Walker is thoughtful, creative and a conservative capitalist.

He needs to work on his rhetoric, then, because the pull quote is pro-corn-fuel.

And while we’re at it, please stop calling me “dishonest.”

Further, what have you to say about Walker’s late-breaking conversion on Open Borders?

No offense, but were you born yesterday?

This is a liberal rag that wants to divide the conservative base that is already coalescing around Walker in terms of support and money.

Liberals hate Walker and know the exact quotes to pull in order to cause splits among his base.

Conservatives are smarter than this. We should not be falling for headlines or quotes about decent conservatives until we find the facts for ourselves.

Liberals know the game and want to divide and conquer. We cannot be so weak and lazy as to allow them to get away with it. There is too much at stake.

I just wish the potentially best candidate was above the blatant pandering.

You are beginning to sound like a broken record mate. OK we get it, Scott Walker has passed conservative laws, lowered taxes etc. You can post all that in every Scott Walker thread, but that won’t change the fact that he seems to changing his position on quite a few issues, including illegal immigration and the corn/ethanol subsidies because he is running for president (all but certain). Plenty of voters have a problem with politicians who continue to pander to audiences in order to win elections.
And when did the GOP primaries, which won’t start for another year, become only between Walker and Jeb Bush? Were you here 8 years ago this time when Giuliani was far ahead of everyone in the polls for the GOP primaries? Where did he end up at? And where were you 4 years ago when nearly every major candidate from Herman Cain to Michelle Bachmann took the lead in the polls at some time or the other? It’s way too early to go about claiming that the GOP race is just between Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. That is fan boy talk, which also he pens to be incorrect.

I've seen only one person get results and that's Scott Walker

Walker's got an unmatched record as governor. you all buy the bs in a few articles that are meant to divide and get Jeb Bush the nomination. and you want us to believe somehow these articles negate Walker's amazing accomplishments

Walker's actions show who he is , a conservative as he's passed conservative laws. articles , words, slander meant to divide conservatives mean nothing.

Walker has been the only one to get conservative laws passed , defeating democrats. who else has defeated democrats? if you can't name someone then you admit you are wrong.Actually no one has defeated democrats only Scott walker has.

You all don't realize that this communist monster Obama is destroying America and freedom and our rights and opportunity to make a living.at this point bozo the clown or a mass murderer is a million steps up from barak Obama. and you dare say Scott Walker is not good enough? I see now why this country is in trouble. do you people realize the danger we are in ? Look at what Scott Walker's done in Wisconsin as governor , lowered taxes, balanced the budge , passed right to work, many other conservative laws etc. and you want us to believe some articles negate that and that we should throw him out because of those articles . I say go jump in the lake to you all! Go Scott Walker!

Those results were entirely the result of the GOP led Wisconsin Legislature. With out the Wisconsin GOP Led Legislature, Scott Walker would have zero results, because nothing would have reached his desk to sign.
