I am referring to the personal attacks. There is a big difference. You know this.
My sense that you would accept no one other than a super hero as a Senator seems to be correct. I've known a LOT of people in all walks of life and I've known very few, even those thought to be "extra ordinary" to actually be extraordinary other than in limited, narrow ways.
I'd much prefer my Senator to be honest and logical, with common sense. Those are the traits lacking right now with our extraordinary cabal of progressives, marxists and RINOs ruining the country.
That's why I support electing good, ordinary people to all levels of government. So that's why I'm concerned that they wouldn't want anything to do with people who have attitudes like yours.
No, I don't know this. One person's informed critical opinion of a candidate's CV, is another person's "personal attack".
It's politics. In the US, it's a blood sport. That's not my preference, but that's the political reality. Under the scrutiny of a statewide election, O'Donnell withered like a cut flower in the hot sun. And, it was plainly predictable it would happen to anyone who gave her credentials an unbiased once-over.
If you want to be Senator, you have to have more than a winning smile, a firm handshake and a few throwaway lines. You have to have a resume that will hold up to scrutiny. She didn't.
