Walker makes first NH appearance

By DAVE SOLOMON

New Hampshire Union Leader

MANCHESTER ...............


During his first New Hampshire media interview, with the New Hampshire Union Leader, Walker said he';ll bring a consistent message to every group he meets, no matter their political persuasion.

Responding to criticism in national media that his positions on several issues have changed as he adopts a larger profile, Walker said that, except for immigration, he has been consistent.

“I do not tailor my message,” he said. “My message does not change, whether I am talking to a group in a city, or a rural community, whether I am in Miami or Tallahassee.”As recently as 2013, Walker was quoted saying he could support a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally, but he has since changed his view to oppose such measures.“I don';t think voters want someone who says I';ll never listen to any other point of view,” he said. “I';ve evolved in the sense that I hadn';t looked at the issue that closely until I started talking to border state governors.”Walker is now advocating increased border security that narrows entry points to well-policed areas, and a mandatory electronic verification system for all employers to ensure that no one here illegally can get a job.

Asked about accusations of flip-flopping on ethanol mandates, Walker denied that his position had changed at all, and he blamed the Jeb Bush camp for raising the issue. Bush, also in the state this weekend, is also a likely Republican presidential candidate.Walker opposed a Wisconsin state law that would have mandated ethanol as a gasoline additive. But he supports a federal law that sets national targets for ethanol to be produced and blended into gasoline. The issue is critical in Iowa, a big corn farming state that holds the first caucuses in the presidential selection process.The first governor in the United States to survive a recall vote and the only one to win three elections in four years, Walker is a seasoned campaigner. He says his presidential campaign, if he starts one, will focus on what he called his “one, overriding theme,” emphasizing his small-town roots and three-point platform.“I didn';t get fame or fortune from my family, but what I did get was a sense that in America, if you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to do anything you want,” he said. “I think that';s a compelling message to every group. If you divide it up as to how you are going to get there, it';s about three themes -; growth, reform and safety.”On growth, Walker proposes lowering taxes, simplifying the tax code, repealing Obamacare and adopting an energy policy he described as “all of the above,” while “reining in” regulators................

The people of Wisconsin have known for many years now how Gov. Scott Walker feels about working families and specifically about unions.

“Scott Walker is politics incarnate having spent almost his entire adult life in elective office,” said One Wisconsin Now Deputy Director Mike Browne. “Take it from us here in Wisconsin, he’ll do or say anything to get himself elected. And once he does, he’ll think nothing of turning around and doing the opposite.”

They even tried to warn the good people of the Granite State to beware of Walker’s “Trail of Deceit, Cronyism, Corruption and Incompetence.”

“New Hampshire voters are accustomed to vetting Presidential candidates, and we won’t stand for politicians pandering just to get elected,” Zandra Rice Hawkins, Executive Director of Granite State Progress. “While he is here, Walker will be pressed to state his position on major issues of the day and he will be held accountable for his recent actions catering to the delusional fringe of the Republican Party.”

This morning over 350 workers gathered outside of a NH GOP event in New Hampshire today to condemn Scott Walker’s anti-working family agenda and call for an apology following his recent CPAC comments equating working men and women with the terror group, ISIS..............
