"SNIP....................


Mr. Walker likes to present himself as a man of courage, based on his record in Wisconsin, but maybe facing down public-sector unions doesn’t tell you all that much about the bravery of a Republican governor. On two occasions in recent days, he has proved himself incapable of saying basic truths that might offend some of his potential voters: First, that evolution is real, and second, that an honorable politician criticizes his opponent’s policies, not his patriotism. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) showed his understanding of that principle Friday when he said, “I believe the president loves America. His ideas are bad.”

1. Walker is a weak candidate but this is a very weak field

As with 2012, the GOP has a very weak field of candidates. Christie has imploded due to a host of ethics and other issues. Jeb has a ton of baggage including his last name and being a neocon. Walker is weak but he may be the best of a weak field

2. Scott Walker's courage is actually brothers named Fitzgerald

Here is an old article to get an introduction

Walker is a punk surrounded by a gang. The legislature, the courts and the state patrol (run by the Fitz' father) are all controlled by the teahad.

Take him away from that, and he is a silent sniveler, waiting for Rence or the Kochs to give him his script.
