Scott Walker's sons were 'disappointed' by his gay marriage position
Business Insider ^ | 07/06/2015 | Colin Campbell

Expected presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's (R) family apparently isn't on the same page as he is when it comes to same-sex marriage.

In a profile of Walker's wife, Tonette Walker, The Washington Post reported Sunday that the Supreme Court's recent marriage ruling was a "particularly tough day" for the Walker family.

Some of their children, she said, are big proponents of same-sex marriage and were bothered by Walker's call for a constitutional amendment to reverse the high court's decision.

"That was a hard one," Tonette Walker said. "Our sons were disappointed. ... I was torn. I have children who are very passionate [in favor of same-sex marriage], and Scott was on his side very passionate."

She further said she has a lesbian cousin and noted that one of their sons was the best man at the relative's same-sex wedding last year.

"It's hard for me because I have a cousin who I love dearly — she is like a sister to me — who is married to a woman, her partner of 18 years," she said.

Tonette Walker also said it shouldn't be surprising that the family has some political disagreements.

I fear that Scott Walker is wanting to “devolve” on this issue like Obama did and he’s sending out signals through his kids.

BFD. President Reagan was able to deal with his kid Ronnie’s left-wing politics. I don’t give two sh*ts what the kids of politicians think.

The Ruling Class has supported the murder of babies since at least 1973.

Apparently they think maids and valets grow on trees.

My father was a liberal Democrat. I was disappointed in his political positions too. Life goes on.

Watch: one of his kids will come out, and he’ll fall ill with “Portman Syndrome.” That’ll be how the GOPe gets their way with him on the ballot.

Good point. There are few left-wingers with more screwed-up thinking than Ron Reagan, Jr.

because reggie love was tired of being the top? because moochelle didn't like obama's handling of the electric toy? because his jaw was getting too "tard".

Hence my tag line. There are far more Americans representative of Lot’s wife, than there are actual mental cases. The definition of that word love is the latest perversion. That cup of wrath draws ever closer to getting dumped.

Truth is not in vogue today. It is on the gallows. Evil reigns and the barbarians are in control.

I think you are going to see Walker has likely already peaked and when he gets into the debates with Cruz and Trump he’s going to look like the squish he is. Try to picture Scott Walker winning a general election. Not in a million years. He generates all the excitement of a flea circus.

Have to agree with you that Walker has likely peaked. And that he may not have what it takes to shine in debates.

Otoh, calling Walker a "squish" goes too far. True, he flip-flopped on immigration. That's enough for me to hold him in suspicion.

But you can't take it away from him that he stood up to the thug unions ... and won. And he stood up to a well-funded media/leftist onslaught in three elections ... and won. Even when his elderly parents were threatened, he didn't back off.

And why are conservatives attacking him in a thread that's about his taking a principled stance on traditional marriage? This is about HIM, not his sons, who are still young and foolish enough to be what many of US once were : young and foolish.

“Some of their children, she said, are big proponents of same-sex marriage and were bothered by Walker’s call for a constitutional amendment to reverse the high court’s decision.”

Well, then, Scotty should kick the shit out of them and help them pull their heads out of their colons.

I’m far from a perfect dad, but none of *my* kids have fallen for that sodomite play-pretend marriage crap.
