Scott Walker Punts On Net Neutrality: I Support Freedom
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 2/27/2015 11:00 am
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker seems intent on running a presidential campaign completely devoid of substance, refusing to answer straight-forward questions and consistently feigning ignorance. Last night at CPAC, after telling the audience that he is prepared to take on ISIS terrorists because he fought labor-rights protesters, Walker also fielded a question about yesterdays FCC vote to preserve net neutrality.
Although net neutrality has been a hot-button topic for several years, Walker did not reveal whether he favors or opposes it, only explaining that he supports freedom.
Well, those are the sorts of things were going to talk about going forward should I choose to be a candidate, Walker said, but I think on that or any other principle, to me the guiding principle should be freedom.
We want a free and open society, we want to have the government out of the way, he added.

(36,463 posts)Scott Walker inexplicably evades basic questions
<snip>
The actual questions Walker failed to address lately are: Do you believe in evolution?; Do you believe President Obama loves America?; and Do you believe President Obama is a Christian?
The correct answers to those questions are as follows: yes; yes; and yes. You can add any caveats you wish saying, perhaps, that science and your faith aren't mutually exclusive or that you think Obama's policies are bad for America but you add those only after answering the questions in the affirmative.
Inexplicably, Walker opted to hedge on all three questions. He punted on evolution during a trip to England. He declined to say whether he thinks Obama loves America. And he had the audacity to suggest he can't comment on Obama's faith because he hasn't "read about that."
An embarrassingly large portion of Gov. Walker's political party still believes Barack Obama is a Muslim. That's despite the fact that an even larger portion of that political party spent countless hours complaining about Obama attending the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Chicago church, which is, per its website, "unapologetically" Christian.

He is not punting anymore. Walker seems to be sitting in the corner, drooling on his bunny slippers now.
