Scott Walker: Flip-flopping charges are 'ridiculous'
By: Gregory Korte 1 hour ago
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker pushed back against allegations of flip-flopping Saturday in New Hampshire, telling reporters that some of the charges are “ridiculous.”
“It’s a narrative that other campaigns are pushing,” Walker told reporters after an event at Concord High School, where he spoke to grassroots GOP volunteers in the early primary state. “We have a strong reputation of keeping our word.”
The Associated Press has reported that accusations of flip-flopping have intensified in recent days, with potential Republican rivals for the Republican presidential nomination circulating materials highlighting Walker’s changing positions on ethanol subsidies, education standards, abortion and right-to-work legislation.
“You have to be an authentic candidate,” Steve Duprey, a Republican National Committeeman from New Hampshire told the Associated Press. “If people think you’re flipping left and right, that sticks with you.”
Walker conceded that there’s one major issue that he has changed his mind on: immigration.

Well maybe--Walker tells lots of lies which in reality are his flip flops. So logically he would deny both. 
Slightly different title......
BTW--the hat does nothing for him!

CONCORD, N.H. --
............... When he attended last weekend’s Agriculture Summit in Iowa, he came out in support of the Renewable Fuels Standard, which mandates the government use a certain amount of alternative forms of energy, like ethanol, which is popular in the Hawkeye State, saying it is “something he’s willing to move forward on.” Previously, he was opposed to such requirements for any industry.
“My position was about Wisconsin and my position was clear,” he explained. “What we said in Iowa was pretty clear, as we’re going forward, that we want the standard phased out.”
An aide then ushered the would-be candidate out of the hungry scrum of reporters, behind a red velvet curtain and towards a private reception closed to the media.
He had escaped, but only after experiencing first-hand the painstaking, meticulous scrutiny a new front-runner attracts.
but not so much outside of the state.
Simply a delight to see all the flip-flop Headlines!

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker arrived in New Hampshire preaching small government and working to rebut claims he’s changed his stances on key issues.
His surging popularity among republicans was on full display in Concord.
Unions protested outside his speech; republicans inside cheered as Walker called for tax cuts and “eradicating” terrorism.
“We need a commander-in-chief who stands up and once and for all says our biggest problem is radical Islamic terrorism and we are going to do whatever it takes to weed it out all over the world.”
Afterwards, Walker blamed GOP rivals for spreading claims he’s flip-flopped.
From a few days ago--but he has a history of flopping....

Scott Walker flips and flops all over the place

In the presidential campaign of three years ago, Mitt Romney set a new standard for political flip-flopping — all to no avail, of course.
But Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker seems not to be discouraged by Romney’s electoral failure in that regard. Rather, Walker is borrowing a page or two from the Romney playbook, as we see in THIS PIECE from a Republican publication:
In the span of just a few weeks, Walker has apparently flip-flopped on a number of issues.
On the issue of immigration reform, Walker reversed his position and now doesn’t support a pathway to citizenship like he said he did in 2013. On Monday, Walker signed into law right-to-work legislation despite saying in 2012, “I have no interest in a right-to-work law in this state.” .................

CONCORD, N.H. -- Likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker on Saturday defended himself against charges that he's a flip-flopper during a brief exchange with reporters following his only public event on a two-day trip to New Hampshire.
The Wisconsin governor said he always tries to listen to voters, when asked by Mark Halperin of Bloomberg Politics what the difference is between changing your mind on an issue and flip-flopping.
"The key is if you listen to people and you've got a valid argument for why you've done it—we've laid out exactly what we've done," he said in the state that will hold the nation's first primary next year. "But I think people want strong leaders and they want leaders who listen to the people."
“My view has changed. I’m flat-out saying it. Candidates can say that.”
Scott Walker
Walker's potential rivals for the Republican presidential nomination have sought to highlight the times the governor has changed his views. Such 'flip-flops' proved to be a significant vulnerability for the last Republican nominee, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, in 2012...................
In this article and others poster--Walker insists he listened to the people but he must live in his #Koch invested bubble because the majority of folks do want a path to citizenship (which Walker used to say but now has gone hardline and FLOPPED)!!

Gov. Scott Walker dismissed claims that he is a flip-flopper on immigration today, saying that it's "just a narrative from the other campaigns in response to the fact that we have a strong reputation for keeping our word.
"This is one that we listened to the people all across the country-particularly the board of governors-and saw how this president messed that up and that's an issue where I think people want leaders who are willing to listen to people," Walker told media scrum after his speech at a state GOP event here.
