and sometimes hyperbole is a good way to make a point…the thread title certainly grabbed my attention.

But there’s no way that Pres Obama’s ability to appoint SCOTUS justices and use the veto pen to block any conservative reforms don’t trump whatever happens to Scott Walker.

In other words: if Walker and Obama both lose, we survive. If Walker and Obama both win, we don’t survive (maybe literally).

Still, I’ll be looking foreword to threads on how we can save Walker. And I believe he will be saved.

IMO, people concentrate overmuch on Barack Obama as a person, and attribute far too much power to him. State, local, and congressional races are at least as important, are races where one can have greater impact, and are often races where one does not need to sacrifice as many core principles to support the nominee. Let’s not lose sight of these races as the Presidential race continues.

Scott Walker needs to win this.

If Obama wins, the federal government is lost in debt and will collapse

If Scott Walker loses, most state governments will follow the lead of the federal government into fiscal hell.

We need more Scott Walkers in the GOP. The guy has a wicked combination of what they call backbone and guts.

They have taken huge hits for doing the right this and trying to save their states finances. And they’ve done it with a happy face and strong arguments, but little financial support. Small business owners scared of unionization should be pouring money on these guys. I haven’t been as excited for gop politicians as I am for these two since ninety four. You can tell conservatives are making progress when liberals pull out all stops like this to oppose them.

I am very disappointed in all of the candidates that they haven’t spoken up more for these two.

… or week. … or year.

If you want to see all our hopes from 2010 fizzle and die, let Scott Walker lose this year. I don’t think he will, but he will definitely need our help.

Even though I don’t live in WI, I continue to follow all of the developments there via twitter.
The Courts just ruled that the GAB must check for fake and duplicate signatures on the petitions (after the GAB had said that they would not do any signature checks).

really lies more in governors like Walker and Kasich than the current crop of presidential candidates. After the Bush years, the Republican Party still has really yet to prove we mean it when we say we’re for smaller government. Even the Tea Party congressmen haven’t really accomplished much, for all the grandstanding they’ve done. Maybe they’ve slowed Obama down, that’s about all.

When people want proof that Republicans are serious about cutting costs, making it work more efficiently and ably, while limiting its scope, we’ll be turning to Walker and those like him to prove that it can be done and we’re the ones to do it.

If the unthinkable happens and Obama gets re-elected, our future leadership is going to come from Republican governors who walked the walk, not senators and congressmen who got caught up in the Washington system. So absolutely, we’ve got to stand by Walker.

on the petitions, although “Mickey Mouse” has already signed several times.

But I don’t concede the designation of Wisconsin as a liberal state or one hostile to conservative reforms. It’s been a battleground state for decades, Democrats often take it nationally by questionable margins in Madison and Milwaukee, but it has a Republican legislature and elected Tommy Thompson several times. It’s more purple than blue, but maybe bluer than red most years.

Here and elsewhere, and nationally, it’s not going to be a question of ideology much longer. The money isn’t there, won’t be there, and can’t be found to keep these unrealistic contracts and pensions going. If something can’t go on forever, it won’t.

The governor is not as important as removing the worst president in history and alot of Scott’s problems is his own. The fake Koch phone call last year and allowing the protest to continue outside the capital as the national media looks on. Scott has just about done everything to muck things up and make union bosses look like victims. He and Ohio’s governor need to sit down and talk strategy of how best to get what there state clearly needs without-making unions look as if their being viciously and unjustly attacked. A great Republican governor who did better then these two clowns with the union question was Christie he challenged them in a deeply blue state with a democratic legislature and won while making unions look like what they are a bunch of crooks.

And it’s due to one issue…ObamaCare. If Obama is reelected, socialized medicine will be here to stay…and the US will become similar to western europe.
