If you enjoy crony capitalism both Hilary and Walker are excellent choices. You can't go wrong.CID1990 wrote:I'll likely be voting Libertarian again unless a Republican can convince me they'd make a good President.
Right now the only ones I don't know enough about are Walker and Rubio. I don't think Rubio can beat Hillary.
Walker is intriguing, though. I like his approach so far (still hasn't announced). I like what he did with the public service unions, and the fact that he weathered a recall in a very blue state tells me that he had some bipartisan support and was able to work at least a little bit across the aisle.
As long as he doesn't go all Santorum on the social issues or neoconservative on the foreign policy, I'll keep listening to him.

Hey…were only slightly worse than China and France when it comes to crony capitalism! Wahoo!
The crony-capitalism index:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crony-capitalism_index" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Aims
The index aims to measure if there is any increasing trend in the number of economic rent-seekers. The assumption behind is because of the favorable political policies set by the government officials, the tycoons are increasing their wealth and interest. As a result, they get a larger part of people’s fruits of labor, instead of generating more wealth for the whole society.[3] In some extreme cases, some favored suppliers are influential on the establishment and application of the business-impacting laws and citizens pay the tax for purchasing the overpriced products supplied by the favored corporations.
Methodology
Ten of the industries that are susceptible to monopoly or require licensing or highly depend on the government have been selected: casinos; coal, palm oil and timber; defense; deposit-taking banking and investment banking; infrastructure and pipelines; ports; airports; real estate and construction; steel and other metals; mining and commodities; utilities and telecoms services. Then, the total wealth of world’s billionaires who actively involve in rent-heavy industries from the data of Forbes will be calculated.[4] Results can be achieved from the ratio of billionaire wealth to GDP in their own countries; higher ratio of billionaire wealth to GDP indicates higher possibility of suffering from crony capitalism.

Capitalism that is fairly regulated, minimizes poverty through wages and drives a strong middle class.
IOW, we can improve over the current system that is patronized by the likes of Walker and Hilary.

But you trying to compare the two is utterly asinine. We all know Hillary is a big government statist who can be bought and eagerly lines her pockets with Wall Street (and foreign government money). Walker is a governor in the midwest who broke the unions backs and has a pro business agenda.
I guess in klamland, being "pro business" automatically makes you a crony capitalist, so maybe he is one in your little coloring "book".

Walker is a typical pompous self righteous congressional idiot...
He might be "pro Business" as long as it suits him - but he is also a certifiable dumb ass
That's great that he broke a union
or freed the slaves
or toppled ISIS
Blah Blah Blah
Good luck with that guy...
If you think Walker is any better for America than Hillary Clinton you have consumed WAY TOO MUCH Koolaid
The guy is going to completely blow up his own state to try to win favor and get elected
He is hell bent on fixing things to which he has no solution - full speed ahead, are the cameras rolling..?
