Absolutely without scruples.
A lot of people might think that's a good virtue to have in politics but all it really does is show how small one really is.
I hope he did make peace with God before he died. But I'm also of the mind that it too was just another dirty trick, that he might be remembered for some slight decency.
In a February 1991 article for Life, Atwater wrote:
My illness helped me to see that what was missing in society is what was missing in me: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood. The 1980s were about acquiring – acquiring wealth, power, prestige. I know. I acquired more wealth, power, and prestige than most. But you can acquire all you want and still feel empty. What power wouldn’t I trade for a little more time with my family? What price wouldn’t I pay for an evening with friends? It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime. I don’t know who will lead us through the ‘90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul.[44]
Watch it...
**I think Republicans at every level should see Trump as a generational opportunity.**
Very good. The best comment yet.
**Lee Atwater was a terrible man. Absolutely without scruples.****“I am sorry for both statements: (Dukakis and the Willie Horton Ad)**
The Willie Horton ad was true. Ask Al Gore. The flag burning I don’t know. It proved Kitty Dukakis was not ready for prime time either as she tried to off herself.
**Will the Republicans use Irina Zuruska or that horrible trucking accident or any other illegal who killed an America? Nope**
They 100% should. Show her beautiful pic. Just don’t show the perp. Night not do any good as the former rat gov is ahead but you do it anyway. George Floyd was a waste of human skin. Who’s gonna say that? Should we get lucky and keep the seat the NC GOP should air the ad again with both pics just to rub it in.
