Maybe you dont realize that the owner of this website is a Cruz supporter? So? The owner also ended up supporting George W. Bush in 2000, after spending endless months trashing him.

PRO-AMNESTY Walker Name one piece of pro-illegal legislation that Walker has proposed or signed.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
We've covered this before.
First he's PRO-AMNESTY, then he sells out to the
,b>"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" and SAYS he's anti-Amnesty.
What day do you think he'll reverse his position again?
I quote
Scott Walker and his PRO-AMNESTY position:
Endorses path to citizenship for immigrant workers
Scott Walker distanced himself from House Republicans debating a new immigration bill by endorsing a path to citizenship for immigrant workers.Walker acknowledged that a substantial number of Wisconsin farms depend on migrant workers, some of them here illegally.
He also was sharply critical of how difficult the federal government makes it for those workers to come to this country. "If people want to come here and work hard and benefit, I don't care whether they come from Mexico or Ireland or Germany or Canada or South Africa or anywhere else," he said.
"I want them here."
The Democratic-led U.S. Senate passed an immigration bill last week that features a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
Many conservative House Republicans oppose the bill, viewing it as rewarding law-breakers.
He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants.
Make it easier to enter the country legally
Walker said he is in favor of the Senate immigration bill--that features a path to citizenship--but called it a backward "Band-Aid" approach,
saying elected leaders should make it easier for people to enter the country and become legal citizens in the first place. "Not only do they need to fix things for people already here, or find some way to do it, there's got to be a larger way to fix the system in the first place," he said.
"Because if it wasn't so cumbersome, if there wasn't such a long wait, if it wasn't so difficult to get in, we wouldn't have the other problems that we have (with people living here illegally)," he said.
Walker's stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.
2010: stop suspected illegals; 2012: that's a distraction
Walker's stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.
He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants, if he were elected.
Then, in December 2012, Walker said he no longer favored such a bill, telling reporters that such legislation would become a "huge distraction" from accomplishing his agenda for the state.
Today, Walker said he would support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants under some circumstances.

To: Yosemitest
We've covered this before And you've lost the debate.
He has made numerous recent statements that border security is a top priority.
None of what he said in the past materialized into law. He has NEVER proposed or signed any pro-illegal legislation as Governor
All of the current and potential GOP candidates are on record having supported "a pathway to citizenship" in the past.
This debate is about who can you trust going forward.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
You can NOT trust Walker.
He's SOLD OUT.
Only a dupe would trust him now!

More on Walker in NH.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
To: Yosemitest
Drop the slander. Walker is NOT pro-amnesty.
To: afraidfortherepublic
So he says now, but watch him twist in the wind!
You can't trust a SELL OUT !

Slander?
I quote Waloker directly, and use Walker's own words.
Yet you call it slander.
You're an idiot to trust Walker!

And, that is why I read the Walker threads, but usually do not post. Apparently, FR is Cruz central (I like Cruz, don’t get me wrong). I like what Walker has done for Wisconsin. Hate to lose him, but if it is for the good of my country, I am willing.

Scott, as he lets me call him, (LOL!) is very much the ‘Everyman’ we need these days.

“THAT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH! WALKER IS A RINO BECAUSE KOHL’S HIRED AN ILLEGAL ALIEN! I’M STAYING HOME IN 2016! WHO’S GOT THE CRUZ PING LIST? </S>”
Take your blood pressure meds, LOL! You’re gonna need a truckload before January, 2017!
Love My Gov! :)

Thank you, all Wisconsin FReepers for electing this AWESOME man. I will be enthusiastically working for him in southern Arizona. I met him briefly in Tampa and was impressed by his demeanor, and knowing what he was accomplishing in his state, I knew he should run for President; that he would be our best chance to take the office and save our country.

Hate to lose him, but if it is for the good of my country, I am willing.Same here. The thing is, his leadership in WI has made the entire legislature more conservative this time around. I think they're learning from his example.

To: Mygirlsmom
Exactly. Our legislature isn’t afraid of the ‘Rats in this town anymore. A VERY good thing! :)
‘Bout freakin’ TIME, too! Dane and Milwaukee Counties have been ALLOWED to run the rest of the state for FAR too long!
