What is amazing is that we all are discussing this but people like Kennedy, Reid, Bill Clinton, Grayson, Bawney Franks, and even Obama are considered totally acceptable. Nothing can top the scurrilous behavior of these folks.
One thing we need to all keep in mind is that normal people will never run for office on our side if we expect no human foibles and mistakes.Most people if faced with financial burdens will take help if offered. In this case, some of what is claimed may have a little truth to it, but do those things outweigh the damage of placing a leftist Soros nominee as candidate for our side?
Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank -- these are not normal people in any way. They are corrupt ideologues who hunger for power and seek to rule over others. They are radical extremists, far outside the American mainstream.
Christine O'Donnell and Sarah Palin -- very typical Americans. Maybe one has an accent. Maybe one had trouble paying bills. So what? That's what American are like. We don't claim to be perfect, and we recognize that individuals need to take responsibility for their own lives because of that.
William F. Buckley famously said: “I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.”
Well, the government we have right now is pretty close to being the faculty of Harvard university. Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell are closer to being normal people in the phonebook.
Buckley was a smart man.
