The Dangerous Candidacy of Scott Walker

Let’s stipulate up front that Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, is an odious politician whose ascension to the Presidency would be a disaster.

This is proof of how afraid of him they are.

Walker may be the only candidate who -- once elected -- could BREAK the power of the left over this nation.

Just as he did so in Wisconsin...

No doubt that is true.

No doubt that is true.

Meanwhile Pastor Huckabee is peddling diabetes and weight loss supplements of the radio.

And doing surprisingly well in many of the polls.

It's easy to underestimate the strength of the evangelical wing of the party, and Governor Huckabee can serve the Lord and serve Slim Formula 7X at the same time.  A man has got to eat.  You should cut him a break.  The guy is airing a 2-3 minute radio report in the morning...
the afternoon...
AND in the evening.

You might just be hearing the morning report and thinking "this guy is slacking off." 

Plus there is the occasional Fox news segment.

If Governor Huckabee wins the GOP nomination I'll vote for him.  He is not my first choice of flawed humans to be President, but I have not soured on any of the dozen or so credible GOP candidates polling above 5%.

My first choice is Governor Walker who is surging right now.  He will also be attractive to people of faith because he can speak to them as a man of faith.  If he can take down Governor Bush, I'll be convinced God thinks he is ready to be President.

Walker appears to be the real deal. I am excited most by his candidacy. And despite my utter despair at the thought of two more years of Obama, I am comforted by the expectation that Scott Walker could actually win the nomination and the presidency.

Some things still make me hopeful for the future.

Shorter version:

“Ooh, he's appealing to Christians! How dastardly!”

Won't be allowed to happen.

Do you really believe that Reagan got shot by a lone nut trying to impress Jodi Foster?

Or in the magic bullet that killed Kennedy?

Then explain why Obama is still President.

I'm with you exactly on this one, aligncare.

A Walker win would make me believe there is still hope for America.

And I'm not sure much else can........

Then explain why Obama is still President.

Because Bammy is strengthening the power of the International Left in the U.S. and moving us *toward* the NWO.

Walker seems like he would do the opposite and would be more like a Kennedy or a Reagan in several ways...
