Walker Gains More National Attention

This time it is from TPM:

Scott Walker, a Republican candidate for governor in Wisconsin, may have set the record for fastest flip-flop on the Arizona immigration law yet.

In a story first published Friday, Walker told the AP, "In America, we don't want our citizens getting pulled over because of how they look."

Throughout the day Friday, Walker's campaign Facebook page was deluged with comments, many from people threatening not to vote for him.

Well, of course, Walker flip flopped on the issue the very next day (more on that later).

But fastest flip flop record breaker...I think that would be a great slogan for Walker, don't you?

  1. Actually, it was first published on my site nearly two weeks ago. Did you listen to the Belling show?

  2. You published his press release two weeks before it was written or released?

  3. Refreshing really. A politican that actually read the law figures out there is nothing wrong with it...to bad people in Washington can follow his lead.

  4. Oh, I doubt he has read the law yet. He has only read the comments on his Facebook page. Don't worry, this will still cause him even more trouble down the road.

  6. Prove he didn't...wow, tough game to play. Or you can read his press release.

  7. Actually, his release never says he read it. It had to be explained to him by people in a different state. Funny on how they reached him on that bike ride, ain't it?

  8. Prove it had to be explained to him...silly game isn't it.

    "After discussing with several state legislators who both authored and sponsored the new law in Arizona, I’m satisfied that the amended bill provides adequate protections against racial profiling and discrimination."

    As I did not witness him read it nor have I talked to anyone that saw he read it, or have I watched a video of him read it to PROVE in a court of law he read it for me is impossible. After reading his statement it does make it obvious to clear thinking people...that may not include many on the left who constantly wear walker blinders.

  9. So in other words, your claim is just an assumption.

    Now, if you want to look at behavior patterns, Walker has a long, long, long history of flip-flopping on issues depending on which way the wind is blowing. That would indicated that the negative reaction he was receiving made him change his position.

    I wonder how many more people are going to turn their backs on him given they can't trust him...

  10. lol, my "assumption" is based on his press release...the fact you don't trust his words in no way makes it false, unless of course you have proof it is...do you?

  11. No where does he say he read it, so what are you basing it on?

  12. I don't think Scott Walker read the Arizona law. It's just another embarassing problem for the Walker campaign. These flip flops are going to haunt Walker in his race against Neumann and with Tom Barrett, if he makes it that far.

  13. At the time of the interview, there wasn't a lot of information about the Arizona law, other than the fact it was signed into law. And at the time, there were judicial experts saying that states don't have the rights to change immigration policy in a way that it substantially affects the uniformity of the federal policy. I give Walker the props for taking a stab at the question in a bold and detailed way. Neumann just said he wouldn't answer it at all.

  14. So you think it is good leadership to make broad statements without knowing the facts? Interesting.
