An online communications strategist working for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) campaign-in-waiting resigned late Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, after controversy erupted over disparaging comments she had made disparaging comments about Iowa?

BTW, I’m not buying any of the disparaging comments cover story. I think most know what occurred here.

She was initially hired for online communications outreach.

Was she an official advisor?

The point is that Walker is not doing anything to stop these dairy farmers from using the Cheap Labor Express. As a result, Wisconsin is actually overrun with illegal invaders. Walker instead accepts these dairy associations’ endorsements and, I reckon, promises them that when he is President that he will open the flood gates in the border states and allow 10s of millions more illegal invaders in to work their farms.

and she touched one of the third rails of politics (especially for republicans).... welfare for corn growers... ethanol subsidies. Get that ethanol out of cars, it has no business being in gasoline if I don’t want it, I should be able to choose at the pump. It tears up older engines (well, unleaded does also, but I can buy the lead additive).

Sadly, your comments hit the mark.
He knew her resume and hired her anyways.
His sudden anti amnesty turn looks sadly phony .

If he wants us to believe him he will have to be more specific.
Will he, if elected, enforce our current laws, as written, not as interpreted by this administration?
Will he oppose any legislation that legalizes them?

Rewarding illegal behavior only gets us more. That’s the lesson from the 1986 amnesty. We now have 10 times the number amnestied last time. To keep our country we must retain the rule of law.

Immigrants apply to be Americans and comply with our laws.
Illegal aliens don’t.
If they want to be Americans, they can go home and apply like everybody else.

Something to consider. Walker was bragging last fall that he had created over 100,000 new jobs since he took office. How many of these private sector jobs were jobs for illegal invaders???

They weren’t disparaging remarks about Iowa. They were disparaging remarks about Democrats who claimed to be shocked to learn Iowa families were making money off the ethanol subsidy.


Source please?! I don’t see disparaging remarks about democrats who claimed shocked to learn Iowa families were making money off ethanol subsidy as stated reason in this s article nor a Breibart article states.

This is interesting.

According to a 2009 study by the UW-Madison Program on Agricultural Technology Studies, illegal invaders now make up about 40 percent of the Wisconsin’s dairy labor force, up from 5 percent a decade ago. Many of these illegal invaders are in the United States illegally.

Walker now has almost as many political endorsements by comprehensive-immigration-supporting dairy associations than there are attorneys who represent victims killed by illegals driving drunk on the backroads of Wisconsin.

Well I guess if you hired someone to conduct communications/media tasks for a major candidate for President of the United State, it would be official and a prominent position. No?

BTW, I understand according to some of his supporters, she was a close associate of Walkers and worked with him going back years.

Of course I was also told no other experienced conservatives who were not pro-amnesty supporters do not exist.

Seems Walker is attempting to save his political butt again by suddenly once again changing his tune.

I just received a personal message from the perfect GOP candidate that He has decided not to run since He would be accused of fostering the first welfare state by passing out free bread and fish to the hungry masses..............

Can't blame Him, the purists will eat their own if they don't conform to the perfect model.

By the way Dragnet2, what defines your perfect candidate?

And let’s not forget what NO FReeper seems to want to touch about Walker. Why hasn’t Walker told muslim terrorist scum, Grover Norquist, in no uncertain terms to take his support/endorsement......and shove it?

The pollutionists are responsible for Boehner and McConnell, who happen to be teaming up with the democrats.

BTW Tabasco, this isn't about me, I am not running for POTUS.

I'm not the issue here.

Diverting from the issue/story is generally seen as evasion or diversion.
