The media went through a series of Walker bashings and seemed to get especially nervous as they write articles asking is he the dark horse?
They said he is uneducated and never went to college and dissed this.
I just saw a bio of Walker and he did go to College. They will still bash him, no matter what though.

Are you endorsing Walker...lol
-
Scott Walker's fine with me. He's been through HELL and come out the better for it, and so has Wisconsin.
He knows how to make things work. Governors always do. That's why governors make attractive presidential candidates.

...and why US Senators do not....

Yes. I never didn't endorse him. lol. I just think we have a long way to go and those who look like they are a shoe in now, may not be.
Since Walker was only briefly mentioned as a contender by the media for 2016 he scares the ever loving snot out of them. He beat the movement and they are scared of him. I don't think even a phony scandal would bring him down and he can't have any more skeletons in the closet, because they would have used them already.
-
I heard him in interviews, I've read his bio. He's a dynamic guy who says all the right things I want to hear as a conservative leaning libertarian. I like him and Rand Paul and Christie (Calm down, now. Don't get the vapors. I've got my reasons)
-
As I have said before. The situation in our country under Obama is dire. I don't want to settle and hold my nose but I will not sit out any vote and I will crawl through glass to vote for Barney Fife to send Hillary to her fake glass ceiling. Obama was an unknown for 'change.' Everyone knows Hillary's record. I also think the media would be stifled silly into shock, if candidates all refuse to allow social issues to be front and center. "It's the economy, stupid.' applies like the man promising a chicken in every pot.

what're those reasons?
-
Primary season has to unfold. I have yet to see what or who is developing on the Democrat side.
If Republicans primary voters choose Christie, I'll vote for Christie. If they select Mr. Ed, I'll vote for Mr. Ed. I don't vote for socialist democrats. That's the pragmatism of politics.

To be perfectly honest, why the hell is college a requirement? Why not military service?

Sorry. I will never vote for a RAT to become POTUS. That includes Cristie.
-

Agreed. The media controls the narrative and -they want Ivey-League only- is the core of the issue. We saw what they did to Bush. They called him stupid.
I posted this thread because a few weeks ago the media was saying Walker has no college record, he didn't go to college. Well he did but it doesn't matter. As long as a Presidential candidate is not a democrat they will be chastised and called stupid in the media no matter what. When Cruz first appeared on the political scene they immediately called him stupid. Then they saw his resume'.
-
So if the match up becomes Christie vs PochaHonkey Warren, you'll stay home?
-

Military service? Like John Kerry (He's a war hero you know!), John Murtha, Wes Clark?
-

That's unfortunate. It will take a lot of votes to overcome the Democrat cheat machine.
You really should reconsider.

If it is Christie v. Pantsuits you will not vote? I believe it was Rand that (paraphrasing but the basic principle of) said, one battle at a time. We will never get them ALL out and clean it all up overnight so baby-steps... ANY democrat getting eight more years will leave us with no way of anyone getting elected to truly fix things. We will be nationalized completely. How many SCOTUS openings will there be?
I worry that if Rand Paul doesn't make it to be the nominee the libertarians will stay home-electing Hillary or whatever progressive they throw in there..

It wouldn't be the GOP unless some bleep's panties got into a bunch and made them stay home. That's why there is always an open stool or two in the back of "Grumble's Bar and Grill".

If Mattis ran, what would the media/dem machine do? They couldn't say he wasn't qualified.

Off topic a bit. I wonder why the media didn't freak out about Rudy's forehead? Or are they too stupid to know what it is?

Scott Walker has the values, the leadership experience and the intestinal fortitude it takes to be a good President.
I, for one, hope he runs, so we can see more of what he would do to fix the mess the country's in.
(IMO, it's FAR too early to have made a choice already!)
As for purists' staying home because the candidate isn't perfect enough.........I blame them for helping elect a Marxist.
PLEASE............don't do it again!! The country WILL NOT survive another 8 years of this horror.

I've read your posts since you came on board and agree much of the time. But, got to disagree on this.

It makes no sense to sit out an election. Politics and elections are not the same as the marketplace. In the market you can punish a company by withholding your dollars. If enough people stop purchasing, the company will either go out of business or change its ways in order to attract customers again.
In politics, withholding your vote does not punish the Party, it punishes the country. You and your fellow like-minded citizens are the ones that suffer. Not the establishment pols. All that happens is the GOPe loses that race. There's no lesson learned, they don't "change their ways." They simply move onto the next election.
They're not going to easily give up power just because a few people sit out the vote is the point.

And your point is well expressed, and on the money.

I understand how you feel but YOU should understand that refusing to vote for the "lesser of two evils" puts one in the position of support for the greater of the same two evils by the simple act of not standing in the way of the greater evil’s eventually triumph.
-
Waiting for the debates to see who is running.... in the meantime we should watch and see everything any of the potential candidates do or say.

I still want to see proof that Obama attended Harvard and Occidental. Seriously.

Who cares what they would say? Check out his record. It's there for anybody to see, unlike Obama's.
-

Third Party or Write in. Cristie will never get a vote from me.
I held my nose for the "lesser of two evils" for the very last time in 2012.
-
Military service? Like John Kerry (He's a war hero you know!), John Murtha, Wes Clark?
Nope. Not referring to REMFs or "second stringers" at all.
My thinking is more along the line of General JAMES MATTIS. The 3 Stooges that you mentioned wouldn't qualify for latrine duty.
PS: You really do not want me to go off on a rant about Hanoi John Effin Kerry. Seriously.
-

Here's unfortunate. The GOP Establishment does not want to Win, so that's why they keep saddling us with guaranteed losers. Time and again we were forced to have some weak sister candidate shoved down our throat where the RAT Party could run the most useless and worthless of candidates (Carter, Clinton and Obama) and actually Win.
I'm done letting those GOP Establishment turds call the shots for us.
To put it another way: "When One tolerates Bad Behavior, then One can Expect nothing but Bad Behavior."
My "tolerance" thing is all busted to hell and I'm not inclined to fix it.

I like Scott Walker a lot! He's done wonders for Wisconsin and I have no doubt he would be a fine President. I certainly hope and pray that he will give this some serious consideration.

Just to be clear, I never said that I would sit out an election. I have not missed a single election since President Nixon (signed the 18 year old vote into law and have no intention of doing so now.
That said, I will no longer blindly vote for some piece of crap LOSER that the GOP Establishment rams down our throat, either. I'm done with that garbage.

So you can spend the following 4 years posting about the "worse of two evils." Whatever.

One thing that is being overlooked....are you really certain that there will be a 2016 election in the first place?
Let's get past the election this November and then see where we stand.
My instincts tell me that Obama and his First Ingrate will not be willing to leave that Public Housing Project located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no matter what our Constitution says.

It's the Supreme Court...as presently constructed. An opening cannot exist while Barack Obama is still POTUS.
That's the key.

If I remember correctly (CRS & CRAFT not withstanding) there is nothing at all that dictates that SCOTUS is limited to 9 Justices.
Couple that with Obama's penchant for using our Constitution like you and I use a roll of Charmin.....
"I have a Pen and a phone...."
Who has stepped up to disabuse him of that notion? Who will?

The size of the Supreme Court is set by statute, so Obuttocks would have to get Congress to agree to increase the size of the Court first.

The Constitution places the power to determine the number of Justices in the hands of Congress. The first Judiciary Act, passed in 1789, set the number of Justices at six, one Chief Justice and five Associates. Over the years Congress has passed various acts to change this number, fluctuating from a low of five to a high of ten. The Judiciary Act of 1869 fixed the number of Justices at nine and no subsequent change to the number of Justices has occurred.

So all that The Stain has to do is either "convince" those stalwarts John Boehner and Harry Reid that he needs to make another "recess appointment or two" or manufacture enough votes in some key states this November to re-install Pelosi as House Speaker and he's good to go.

He'd have a much harder job of it than that. Not even FDR was able to overcome the resistance to messing with the number of justices on the Court, and he had a lot more political power/support at that point than Obuttocks has now.

He has a pen and a phone. I can see him nominating Holder.

He has to have a slot to fill in first, and that's not likely to happen.
