Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made another massive misstep on Monday, hiring Liz Mair of Mair Strategies to handle communications and social media for his campaign-in-waiting.
Mair’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens, wide-open-borders immigration policies, and public advocacy for the Senate “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill is sure to dog Walker in Iowa, South Carolina, and other early presidential states.
During the Senate Gang of Eight bill fight, Mair very publicly and very aggressively promoted the amnesty bill—pushing it to media and making the case for the need for it over and over again. She claims her advocacy was done out of the good of her heart, for free, because for religious reasons she believes in amnesty and open borders. But Mair wouldn’t answer who was paying her bills for her advocacy during the timeframe of the “Gang of Eight” bill in early 2013 through the end of the last Congress–when asked by Breitbart News if any specific tech companies or a select group of Wall Street billionaires were paying her.
“We’re contractually barred from disclosing our clients,” Mair said.
That could mean anyone—even foreign companies potentially—were paying her during the timeframe she was publicly advocating for the amnesty bill. While she didn’t have to disclose it to the public at the time now that she’s hitched to Walker the Wisconsin governor owns everything she said and did.

” is he dumb or does he just not care too much about these issues? ( I put gay marriage and abortion in front of amnesty so he’s especially done to me)”
He doesn’t like to talk about social issues. He believes they are a distraction. He will admit that he likes to focus on fiscal issues and that some conservatives go overboard with the social issues.
“I’m pro-life; most Republican governors are pro-life — I don’t apologize for that, but I don’t focus on it; I don’t obsess over it,” Walker told reporters Friday at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast when asked about the inevitable 2016 conversation about social issues. “The governors, we focus on the things that matter most to people, and those are fiscal and economic issues.”
One of Walker’s weaknesses is choosing those who are working for him. He doesn’t always make the best choices. Two have been fired for sending negative tweets about hispanics. One of the women who had been fired had also mailed out a holiday newsletter suggesting that instead of gifts for their children parents donate to walker’s campaign.
Another staffer resigned because she was serving a 20 day jail sentence for her second DD offense.
Another staffer forwarded a phone call from a media guy claiming to be one of the Koch brothers. The caller duped Walker into believing it was him and caused a lot of embarrassment.
A more recent problem with staffers that cause embarrassement and Walker having to amend previous statements.
“While backtracking on earlier comments to reporters, Walker continued to insist in a statement that he hadn’t known what his own administration was doing until after the proposal became public and caused a firestorm of criticism.
He said no one would be disciplined.”
Maybe this kind of thing is common with staff and campaign staffers going rouge or not being fully vetted. I don’t know but it seems to me that it usually ends up reflecting badly on the person running for office as the buck is supposed to stop with them.
Nothing is more important than securing our homeland, sovereignty and borders. Without it, this country is done, over. We will eventually have no country left. End of story.
And that is 100% correct and why none will get my vote, unless one of them rocks the podium and stands up and says what needs to be said and make the GD demands mentioned in 163.
For me personally, I'm not going along with it anymore.
Oh so when the reporter hits a messenger on the Walker campaign who will represent his views that’s “news.” But when you point out the reporter is giving the candidate 6 hours to come up with an immigration platform this early in the campaign for him exclusively to report, that’s called “attacking the messenger.” whatever. That makes the reporter an even bigger baby if he can’t handle that.

He has called for its repeal.
Period.
I don't know what Walker says he'd do about Obamacare. I looked, and didn't seen anything, but I didn't look that hard. So far, it seems he's displeased with it. But I haven't seen him outright calling for its full repeal. I have seen Cruz doing that.
Why would it take over 6 hours? America has been invaded by millions for many decades while the political ruling class did nothing but aid and abet it.
The solutions have been voiced 10 million times. In addition, we have laws and rules already in place.
This epic invasion of our country has resulted in tens of hundreds of thousands of American crime victims, created an industry of fraud and chaos, choked off our social services, schools, destroyed the wages of entire industries, you name it. To the point it's now undermined and compromised not only our homeland, but our very electoral process.
This is not some complex or confusing issue. But the political ruling class has sure convinced some, like you for instance, that it is.
Ya know why they attempt to make this seem complex? It's because they don't want trash their own self interest and political butts as they try to please all.
All of this considered, it should not take anymore 2 GD hours demand we enforce our existing laws and spell out how it will be done and what a candidate will support and demand.
I find you not only to be evasive, but very disingenuous.
Coming from somebody who compares libertarians to terrorists I find that hysterical.
You’re an evasive political fraud.
Keep blathering.
Anyone can read back on this thread and see who the individual is who’s blathering.
The Internet makes a near perfect witness.
Whatever. You’re so easy to predict. I bet you’ll have the last word on this thread.
The thread and your comments speaks for themselves, regardless who has the last word.
Huh? You’re in favor of sexual assault?
BTW: IIRC, the most rampant form of “sexual assault” in the military is rape of men by other men, i.e., former Don’t Tellers.
As far as I can tell, Cruz supported a bill that would have protected the investigation and prosecution of rape from interference of the chain of command.
How does this offend you?
How about reading more into the legislation before assuming that
