By now it’s become a disturbingly familiar pattern for conservatives: A candidate who seems promising at first glance wins a Republican primary, and then suddenly the press — often fed by a Democratic rival’s opposition-research team — begins looking in-depth at every controversial and regrettable statement and act that candidate ever made. Just days after it’s too late to change the nominee, the choice of GOP primary voters appears to be an egregious mistake.

Uh, Free Beer —> good.
How can a person be an anti anything and be a libertarian?
Um, has anyone guessed at what the wacky or unconstitutional convictions the Democrat party leadership and MSM journalists secretly espouse? What’s the difference? Just this: they’re in power and conservatives aren’t. Goldwater was right.
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

I really don’t see the issue here.
Democrats dig stuff up in hopes the right will react. In the case of Medina it was actually a good thing. If the democrats want to research candidates for us, I say we should let them. We’re smart enough to figure out what’s real or important.
Where do these people get these ideas?
Senators and REPRESENTATIVES are elected to REPRESENT the people of their state in the government.

It’s OKAY if they are RINO’s but if they are attacked by the liberal media and words they never said are attributed to them. Like turning an “Um” into a “Yes” in the transcripts sent to the rest of the media.
Medina wanted to be the TEA Party candidate and she sounded good for a while but she was never endorsed by any group that I know of.
Don’t let that stop you Jim. It never stopped anyone else in the media.
Not even worth reading past the first page
So what of she’s against Bears? Who wants to be attacked by bears?
Labels don't mean much. Look at all the people suddenly calling themselves conservatives.
Leftie hippy dopers always pull the "alcohol is worse than pot" canard to proffer a "have you quit beating your wife" type question without being called on the question.
Any ringer media type will file the answer to that question for future use in character assassination.
Is she Mormon? When she was first lady of Michigan, Mitt Romney’s mom had the nickname “Lemonade Lenore” because she refused to serve liquor st state functions.
...I thought this thread was about....beer.
