....It is the most asinine idea I have heard in some time in my opinion. Please go ahead and lay out a well reasoned argument.... You already said if he were the candidate, you'd stay home and not even vote. Isn't it asinine to come out of the woodwork for a personal attack against a candidate from a nonvoter. King might say the republican is required to make their case and stump with civility, while opponents can counter with name calling. Weird, huh.

Boy Craig you have that whole victim thing down pat. Seeing as how we are yet to find out who will be the party nominee I think there is still a good chance I will vote. Notice I said it was an asinine idea but did not call anyone a name.
How about that well reasoned argument? With family close to the border with Canada I am concerned for any threats they may be under. Why is it we need that wall? Are they stealing our jobs? Anchor babies? Who knows, maybe those damn Canucks are really a bunch of Jihadist in disguise.......

You only need the wall constructed in more densely populated areas. The rest could be patrolled by high tech surveillance plus US military units through rotation system. The troops from oversees could participate in these rotations. For example with many NATO members in Europe I see no reason to station US troops in Eastern Europe.

As for the Canadian border, just ask Jm, he seems to think so. Me, I don't know a whole bunch about Canada, so I've had 'conversations' with King. Just in the last couple of years, there's been a disturbing trend towards more and more violence, but in truth Canadian gun violence has been on the rise for generations, coinciding with the influx of middle easterners. Across Canada, they're implementing bits and pieces of sharia into local and national law. The waterways around Canada are known open pathways to all of North America for jihadi's. I'm a 'concerned' victim already, because tails always wag the US dog and the jihadis don't need disguises. You draw your own conclusions.

My conclusion......a fabricated problem in a lame attempt to get people to the voting booth....reminds me an awful lot of the fictitious "war on women". I'm still waiting for a reasonable argument validating the idea on wall between the US and Canada. Shari law is NOT part of the Canadian law system but it sure does sound scary..... http://www.canadianlawsite.ca/sharia-law-canada.htm

The way things are going in the USA I would say Canadians should construct a wall separating them from the United States. It is the Canadians that should be concerned not the other way around.

Don't shoot the messenger, it's nothing more than 'conversation'. I'm all for keeping it civil. I have a little issue here though. There isn't a bit of similarity with 'the fictitious war on women'. I can't determine anything 'reasonable' about the use of 'fictitious'. It may be used as window dressing occasionally by some that lean left, but it's never really questioned, huh. Interesting eh, something may be believed to be fictitious, but it's just not enough to try to stop them in the booth. I think you may be a Cruz fan. My understanding is that only three donors are funding the majority of his campaign so far. Are you one of them? Seems a little fabricated, eh.

Both issues are completed fabricated to stir up the base Craig and I'm pretty sure you can see that as well.
So why do we need that wall?
I'm no Cruz fan.........

....So why do we need that wall?.... I, only me, think we 'need the wall' in this limited example because it points out the disparity that folks should keep in mind when we kid ourselves that it should be about the issues. As far as why a candidate, Gov. Walker, thinks we need a wall, we should probably be asking him. If he has good reasons, then he makes his case even if we don't like him. If he's stirring up the base, then we accept that as the 'punks game' like we've been told to accept tripe, when the strategy is used by the left. If the issues are really important to us, and he doesn't make his case, then it should reflect on him and his candidacy. Did I mention he also hates workers, yup, all of 'em, bad, bad fellow, he is.

Walker doesn't think the US needs a wall. He said it's worth reviewing. The poor guy was asked a silly question. Running for office, he tries to please everyone.
Media runs with it. CBC national radio carried it this morning as a parting kicker, the last item for a smile; crazy American politics.
It should be no reflection on Walker. He played to the peanut gallery as politicians are obliged to do.
