And that is really the sad part about all this. If Cuccinelli loses this race because of a stupid thing like this, we will have lost another winnable seat, and had a good candidate go down to defeat, not because they were wrong on the issues or had bad ideas for governing, but because some stupid thing like this tripped them up. That kind of stuff drives me nuts. There's no reason for it. We lost two perfectly winnable Senate seats in Indiana and Missouri last election because our candidates weren't smart enough to see and avoid the trap the 'Rats were setting. They weren't wrong on principles, but their political acumen was sorely lacking. We're paying the price for that now in having two uber liberals sitting in those seats in the Senate. We can't afford to have that happen again.
“The problem I have with it is that the ‘Rats will twist it and use it against us, perhaps to the point of not getting our candidates elected. It is bad political strategy to do things that you know the ‘Rats and the media will use against us, most likely by making our candidates into a caricature of who they really are.”
The cheating Rats and dishonest media will uses anything and everything against us. If our guys were saints they would claim a politican has to be willing & able to get dirty and make deals.
There is no way on earth we are going to avoid them going after us just as there is no way we are going to get them to give us a fair shake.
The fact is our politicians are nether saints nor theves their people, and imperfect and flawed as you and I. We can’t change that fact anymore than they can. But as long as they dominate the means of commutations they can bury their own flaws while focusing on nothing but our guys flaws.
Even things we don’t regard as flaws such as resigning for the good of your State.(Sarah)
We must take control of their markets and get our message out or there is no path forward except in collapse.
