Pulling this stuff on a holiday weekend, after you've been hit with an open records request, and 2 weeks before you announce a candidacy for President...

This is going to leave a mark. With a sledgehammer.

And he was the one that I thought was the strongest GOP candidate of the bunch. Talk about a glass jaw. One hit and ..poof...

Bye, Felicia.

I'm not a fan of this guy...but...This is much to do about nothing IMO.

I don't see how this reflects poorly on Walker. Seems to me to be more on the legislature than on him. But it is the kind of stupid stuff that republicans seem to like to pull way too often. WTF makes the legislature think that now is the time to do this, even if it is worth doing, which it does not appear to be?

He's a light weight compared to Rubio, Bush, and Cruz.

Rubio is done already for supporting immigration reform.

Democrats want Walker to be finished, liberals fear him cause his the most Reagan like candidate since Reagan. Republicans should hope he wins cause Bush is a LOSER.

Fear Walker? Given his wonderful job in the land of cheeseheads, the only people that fear him are the people of Wisconsin. They are in fear that he will destroy the state.

Cool story, bro. Too bad it's not even remotely true!!

So, any word on all those State Department emails Madam Secretary sent from Imaclintonandwilldowhateverthehelliwant@juno.com?

Prove me wrong. I live just south of the land of cheese. I am pretty sure I know what is going on up there better than someone from who knows where(though possibly CT).

Btw, I used to live in Middletown CT.

Wisconsinites must not be too sacred as Walker has won elected not once, not twice, but three times for the office of governor.

I just want to see if I get this right. Walker and the legislators are trying to make it more difficult to get public info. The right wing is huge into transparency so instead of being upset that a guy on the right that is trying to do that, they shift blame to Hillary and the Democrats.

The Hillary story came out first, and I don't remember you having a problem with that.

Didn't really follow the story very much. I know there were apparently some emails on a private computer that supposedly should have been written on a government computer. I think there was supposedly something wrong with the hard drive. Do we have any idea what was supposed to be on those e-mails or who they were supposedly sent/received from? If she did something wrong or tried to cover something up, the yeah, I have a problem with it.

Looks like he backed down.

You didn't read the story very well. I know that's what they want you to believe but try actually comprehending the facts of the story. Don't be lead, little sheep.

Depends, do you find using a private email server for state department communications problematic?

Even if I believed every damn email was innocuous (I don't), it would evidence a lack of judgement that should disqualify her as a legitimate presidential candidate.

Sure. Is there any proof that she did that? As for the second part, I don't have a problem with using a private one for innocuous emails but I can see how it could be looked at skeptically.

She was sending/receiving emails in her capacity of secretary of state using a private server.

These are facts not in question.

I have pretty much stayed away from politics(only came here for short periods the last year or so). Haven't really listened to left wing talk shows much either. Don't have cable so no cable news. Only local news and short news blurbs on radio news stations. Probably being between several jobs during that time(with vastly different hours), I just didn't really care too much.

Fair enough. Well, now you know.
