I'm worried about ISIS threat in US: Scott Walker

The United States may need to use ground troops in the fight against Islamic State, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told CNBC on Thursday.

"Whether it's special ops or other engagements out there, we've got to be prepared to do what it takes to keep America safe," the potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate said in a "Squawk Box" interview.

I recall Martha interview. I had to chuckle--Scooter was soooooooooo out of his league.
but he is an apt politician--learns talking points fast so beware.

...was not informed/engaged enough to see through GWBs talking points is what allowed his selection as president. It was awful for our country and we can't afford to do that again with Walker.
He needs to be outed for what he is...a FP puppet and anti union and SSecurity proponent. I was so glad that Raddatz did her job as a reporter. We need more like her!

Fear! Fear! Fear!, with intermittent "Be Afraid."

If these goofs didn't have fear to speak from, they'd have nothing, because they don't have any ideas on how to run the country.

And what would clowns like Walker do if we would happen to be under attack from an ISIS-type terror group? My guess is he would be curled up in a fetal position in a corner of their mother's basement crying for the bad guys to go away. That's basically how those types responded to the 9-11 attacks.

In other words: NOT. I wasn't afraid before 9/11, either. And I wasn't afraid, EVER, that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and that he was going to use them on me. What the fuck is the matter with people in this country? Whatever happened to the "home of the brave"?

I'm far more terrified of the legions of drunk crazies on the road driving home every Saturday night. I'm afraid that the sandwich artist at Subway didn't wash his hands after he just took a massive, dirty dump. I'm afraid that spot I noticed on my shoulder is getting larger, darker, and weirder-looking. ALL of these things present a far, far more realistic and imminent threat to my life than anything Scott Walker's paymasters can come up with.
