I love Washington because he ultimately did what was best for his country, not for himself. He could have been king, but he wasn’t.

Good answer.

I’ve never lived in a state with an efficient government. I thought the idea was to reduce the role of government, not simply redirect it to the states. Redirecting programs through the states doesn’t really reduce the money flowing from taxpayers through the feds, the massive redistribution, or the ability of the feds to control the states through controlling their purse strings—it actually increases that.

But that seems to be what all GOP governors advocate.

So Walker would increase regulation of how companies compensate their employees, but do it in a way that actually could be more intrusive than having to channel some of their pay through any overtime worked.

Under the Walker plan government would be dictating that businesses have to allow employees more time off of their jobs. That really could affect staffing, leading to having to train and hire more people for certain positions, etc.

in the federal government, we need reforms there as well, making changes in the civil service and public-employee practices

Break federal employee unions like he did Wisconsin ones.

It’s safe to say that most conservatives across the country think pretty highly of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and that he remains one of the few presidential candidates who are at least broadly acceptable to almost every sub-species of Republican.

I am NOT a sub-species but Walker still remains on my list of candidates that I'd vote for.

Cruz, Trump, Walker, bottle of Johnny Walker Black in that order.

No One wants your OWNED DC Puppet Walker .
Old Scott is owned by the Koch Brothers and Other RNC fat cats !
Walker campaign Has George Wills wife's and Old George spitting out propaganda columns for him until Ttump outed them !

I see Walker and his ex Romney campaign smear experts are plotting away with the Reince Prebius RNC to run Trump smear ads !

Do you like being owned by K Street Cronies ?
You like the crooks running the House and Senate with K street and the C of C.?

Do You like Walker's dirty tricks expert sweet Brad Dayspring another ex RNC slime ball ?

Having K street run the WH with Walker in place as there puppet would be a disaster !

Two parts: It’s repealing Obamacare once and for all, but doing it in a way that lights a fire under Congress to do it immediately. And it puts patients and families in control of their own health care. That’s why we call it “patient freedom.”

Considering it could take quite a while for Walker's plan to pass through Congress, what happens to those who lose their Obamacare through his immediate repeal?
