Walker’s Flip-Flop On Immigration
[su_right_ad]Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” extracted a reversal on immigration from Scott Walker.
Wallace played a clip of a younger Walker as Milwaukee County Executive happily agreeing to what certain portions of the right now calls “amnesty.”
“I believe there’s a way that you can do that,” Walker said, citing the preeminent need for border security. “I’m not talking about amnesty.”
“But it’s a little bit slippery here,” Wallace said, citing Walker’s record of supporting immigration reform. “You said you supported it.”
“And my view has changed,” Walker said. “I’m flat out saying it. A candidate can say that. Sometimes they don’t….I look at the problems we’ve experienced the last few years. I’ve talked to governors on the border and others out there. The concerns I have are we need to secure the border. We ultimately need to put in a legal immigration system that works. And part of doing that is putting the onus on employers. I don’t think you do it through amnesty.”
Wallace brought up one of Walker’s many recent media to-dos, in which he wouldn’t quite say whether Obama loved America after former Gotham mayor Rudy Giuliani intimated as much at a Walker event.

This is only the begging of many flips for wanker as we get deeper into the campaign, by the time we get to the summer of 16 he’ll have flipped more times than a short order cook at IHOP.

Every Republican candidate for POTUS is provided with a Mitt-approved “reset button” to be used before declaring oneself a candidate for POTUS … and then used once again by the party nominee before the general election in order to appear more moderate and electable.

If he doesn’t flip-flop then he’ll be honest and disqualified as a Repuke.
Now, who in his wrong thinking mind would do that amongst the Repukes?

Every politician has ‘flip-flopped’ when running, every one. My problem arises when they flip-flop while in office.

Heck who cares. A change in opinion is the least of his worries. So far this clown has more baggage than Perry had during the same pre-nomination period during the last GOP presidential circus. For sheer comedy, you just cannot beat this stuff.
