Wisconsin Gov. Walker refuses to answer evolution question

[240 is Back]

Walker said "That's a question a politician shouldn't be involved in one way or the other" when asked about evolution.

That's a very strong statement right there... either he's not sure what he believes, or he is scared to upset some voting block... but wow, the question is more certainly relevant.  The CORE of what a person believes in - yes, that matters.  Can't be vague when it comes to our own creation.  Say what you believe, man.  This is an odd one.

Wisconsin Gov. Walker refuses to answer evolution question
By SCOTT BAUER, Associated Press | February 11, 2015 | Updated: February 11, 2015 4:21pm

MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) — Likely 2016 presidential candidate Scott Walker refused to say Wednesday whether he believes in the theory of evolution, dodging that question and several others about foreign policy after delivering a speech about global trade in London.

"I'm going to punt on that one as well," said Wisconsin's Republican governor when asked about evolution at the end of an hour-long appearance at the prestigious Chatham House think tank. "That's a question a politician shouldn't be involved in one way or the other. So I'm going to leave that up to you."

Walker, an evangelical Christian and the 47-year-old son of a Baptist preacher, also declined to answer a series of questions about foreign policy, including how the West should combat the Islamic State group, whether the U.S. should arm forces in Ukraine and whether it's wise for Great Britain to remain in the European Union.

"I don't think it's polite to respond on policy in the United States when you're in a foreign country," Walker said when asked about Islamic State. "That's certainly something I'll answer in the future."

NOTED.

This way, in the future, when some idiot parrot getbigger says he agrees with Walker on every position, we will know the person doesn't actually know all of Walker's positions.

maybe this is the new ideal strategy... just refuse to admit you believe in anything that divides with the party.  "I dont think any politician should answer that..."   However, I bet he has no issue delving into deep moral questions when the (R) party has a more unified position on an issue

Nobody can say Walker is different.  He's a politician, just like most of the rest.

Cruz or lose.

He's playing in correctly. Still too early in the game to get into specifics.

You're up double digits in a Blue state like California with a Rino in Bush and a Far-Righter in Carson comfortably behind. You've proven you can compete with both flanks.

The impressive lead in Cal gives you the moderate cred. The scalps won against the unions in Wisconsin provides the meat and potatoes for your more conservative base.

Give vague answers on foreign policy and the avoid the Liberal media snipers looking for Comedy Central material on questions like Evolution/Abortion and you likely are right there at the top of the list when debate season opens up.

At NO point should it be too early to tell people what you believe when it comes to our own existence on this planet.

I don't know what drives this man, what he will respect and what he will not.

I'm disgusted by "he will let us know how he feels about the big thing... in due time..."

LOL

Hey, I'm right there with you on the laughter. 

I'm not saying it was MORALLY correct what he was doing.

I'm just saying from a strategic standpoint that's how these things go when someone is trying to pinpoint your position on a controversial topic.

You know how these slime balls (on both sides of the aisle) play their games.

Great answer by Walker.  He shouldn't answer stupid questions.  I'm starting to like this guy.

Repubs could literally put an (R) next to Obama's name and run him in 2016, and most repubs would "start to like this guy".

They sickening way they loved on the self-described "severely conservative" Romney in 2012 lol...

Since this is basically a proxy for a question about religious belief I assume our local fundies who think this is a stupid question would feel exactly the same if a candidate was asked if they believe in God or Jesus.

As Walker said, "That's a question a politician shouldn't be involved in one way or the other"

He DOES give a fck.  He is afraid to answer a Q on evolution.  He's very concerned with peoples perception of him.  He gives many fcks.  He's worried about alienating voting blocks. typical politician, it's okay, most are.

[Soul Crusher]

If evolution is THEORY - like global warming, etc - than how is that scientific fact?  Just asking.

240 left out the link on purpose.

If you read the entire article you will see all he is saying is he is not going to push his religious beliefs on anyone else, leaving it up to you to decide: "That's a question a politician shouldn't be involved in one way or the other. So I'm going to leave that up to you."
also:
"Both science and my faith dictate my belief that we are created by God,"
