I wrote about Walker’s lack of a college degree here. You can bet that both the issues I mention in that post will come up, big time, if he runs.

Walker discussed the issue here.

I didn’t know that about Walker. I went to his wikipedia entry and there it is.

Odd.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Walker make a go at the Presidency without a college degree just to shake up the deep-set convention.

His achievements have exceeded the measure of the credential. A college degree is not the end-all/be-all measure of a man.

But normally that’s something I would say about someone who forewent college altogether.

It’s odd that Walker didn’t complete his degree because he enrolled at Marquette Fall 86 and left Spring 90, which implies he’s likely only a semester’s or fewer worth of credits short of his degree. He obviously can complete it if he wants. He could have mopped up his last credits piecemeal over the years. Has Walker ever explained why he decided not to complete his degree?

“No funds, appropriated or non-appropriated, may be expended to grant permanent residence to any persons in the U.S. illegally.”

Let’s see Barry veto the budget over that! Guaranteed override — no Dem will give up his pork over this!

Theat being said, I WOULD grant a limited legal residence to illegals, as part of “comprehensive immigration reform.” Here’s what should be the Republican plan:

1. Secure the borders.
2. Identify everyone in the U.S. as to citizenship or residency; issue and require carrying of identification indicating status.
3. Issue five-year, nonrenewable visa to all persons in the U.S. illegally, except any with criminal records.
4. Any person holding the five-year visa may apply for a Green Card or a temporary agricultural worker visa without returning to his home country, in line with everyone else.
5. Any person who has applied for a Green Card within three years of issuance of the visa will be permitted to remain in the U.S. until his application is processed.
6. A 15% withholding tax is imposed on all foreign remittances, creditable against Social Security and income tax.
7. The INS is directed to issue XXX,000 temporary agricultural visas (six months in duration, may be renewed annually.)
8. Any person not in compliance with this statute will be immediately deported. If the person is not accepted by his own home country or another country, or does not wish to return to his home country, he will be immediately transported to Guantanamo Naval Station and interned there.
9. Any person violating this statute will be imprisoned for five years; second offense, 10 years; third offense, life.

What would the Dems say? — we’d be maintaining the Dream Act and giving all the illegals chance to apply. If we’ve waited since Reagan to solve this problem, we can wait another 5 years!

The liberal transplant retiree hoards from the Rust Belt, Snow Belt, and Kalifornia voting for him in 2010 got him re-elected. We native Nevadans know all about Reid and his sleazy ways. His politically active son has been rejected by the electorate in a few elections already, but the Reid’s crave power above all.

Harry should be in jail for the remainder of his worthless natural life.

Part of activating the people of the Right – the base – as an effective social movement is taking credit rather than expecting gratitude. The electoral piece is important but it is just one piece. One step. If you want the GOP to champion your agenda, then use yesterday as a springboard for the base to become a real, dedicated player of the activist game. An activated base is needed to re-write the GOP agenda and provide (force on) them the competitive full-spectrum social cultural/political machine needed to reify that agenda. The Left’s social cultural/political machine remains intact and working full-spectrum.
