Scott Walker side steps foreign policy questions on UK trip

Re: Scott Walker--Embarrassment to America

Barack Obama said he "walks with God" every day. There's not a chance in hell that nutcase could ever become president either, right? The USA would be a complete laughing stock here and in the whole world if something like that happened.

...and he's still accused of not being a Christian. That's what makes the USA so laughable.
 
Re: Scott Walker--Embarrassment to America

So you are saying the man was invited to speak at an economic forum and they decided to use that as an excuse to ask him completely unrelated questions they would never ask of a liberal politician? In other words...Their press are scumbags too?

Where they 'frightened' by Obama's Christianity?

He was in London, on Darwin's birthday, and the moderator threw him a softball, which he promptly punted. The moderator even gave him a chance to recover by pointing out that any British politician left or right would have answered "Of course" and carried on, to that question. He sidestepped that too!

Yes...he absolutely told them that he was not there to hold a press conference and was there to discuss trade and commerce. Very astute. Anyone with an ounce of respect and grace would have understood that (and would still understand that). Then again...when it is your intent and DESIRE to try to make someone look bad, then that concept of respect and grace doesnt really get top billing.

This is the sort of question all too commonplace in British journalism and one on a level the lower class yabos enjoy. Discussing trade and commerce doesn't compare with sports and celebrities.
 
Re: Scott Walker--Embarrassment to America

The US would lose a lot of credibility both foreign and domestic if it elected someone who doesn't believe in science.


I think Walker just kissed his chance for the nomination, goodbye.

Just think of the credibility we lost when Obama got elected.

Do you have any evidence that Walker doesn't believe in science?

Did anyone ever discover the Community BHO was alleged to have organized? It couldn't have been in the US or Middle East.

The moderator threw him a gotcha question and he wisely didn't answer it.

I'm still waiting for Obama's grades.
 
So you think the Koch brothers will be able to get Walker elected president? I don't think so.



Secret audio nails Scott Walker! A humiliating suck-up to the Koch brothers - Salon.com

Yep. Looks like Republicans are all about giving the rich all the money and letting them trickle it back down to everyone else. I think that is going to be a rather tough sell.

I don't know about the Koch's...They must scare the hell out of you though....Using your logic though, do you think that Soro's will be able to get Clinton elected?

You obviously didn't watch the vid of his performance on display at the Chatham House website.

My point is this, the Koch's represent a paradigm that enriches the wealthy while doing little to promote the interests of the middle and lower classes. Walker is a front man. I think that will be a hard sell, but not impossible.

How many people do the Kochs employ?
 
Re: Scott Walker--Embarrassment to America

Well of course Liberals would believe it is a gotcha question. :lamo

Au contraire, mon choux.

And Libbos are chomoin' at the bit for him to answer it. So, you're right only morons and extremists think it's a gotcha question. That's why the moron asked the question.

It seems liberals have determined evolution is a 'foreign policy' issue and want to make it an election priority as well. They appear to have today's issues confused with those of 1859.
 
Re: Scott Walker--Embarrassment to America

If that's the best ya' got to criticize Scott Walker, he's got more of a chance than I thought.

Actually, I was not so much criticizing Scott Walker, but rather the political party he represents. In today's Republican party, you are not allowed to take science seriously and be a leading figure in the party.

What a sad state of affairs.

You have to tap dance around something as profound and fundamental as the theory of evolution.
You have to basically do the same with regards to global warming.

I mean, Jesus Christ, even the straight-forward policy of immunizing our children against disease caused the GOP to collapse into confused incoherence:

**Chris Christi questioned enforcing immunizations, then had to walk back his stupid statement.
**Rand Paul said
he'd heard that immunizations caused "profound mental disorders."
**And who could forget Michele Bachmann claiming that immunizations might cause "mental retardation"?

Well, something sure seems to be causing "mental retardation" in Republicans. What is it, do you think? Is there a specific food they all share? Some kind of medication they all take? What could it be? It must be something.

It's all they have.

Think of what it would mean to belong to a political party where a softball question about one of the most basic and fundamental and settled theories in science is considered a "gotcha."

Wow. How sad.

Next up: Hey Jeb, what's 2 plus 2?

Aren't you the liberal who thinks evolution is a foreign policy issue?
 
Re: Scott Walker--Embarrassment to America

It must be discouraging for people familiar with the real issues to have these dimwits in the voting booth as well.

What does all your blather have to do with what I said?

Oh, wait. Nothing. Just an opportunity for a liberal to bash conservatives. *sigh*
