Al Franken had the media on his side.
Conservatives never will.
Conservative candidates must be nearly perfect, with polished and professional speaking styles and no dirty laundry.
That is how it is.
Deal with it or lose.

Reagan was not free of dirty laundry (divorced and remarried) and still won.

I don't know, that sounds like we are fighting the battle on THEIR terms.

That is why our side panics at every little controversy and tosses anyone overboard that might rock the boat (so to speak)

That is how we get into situations like the one we are in now, "Be Part of the Get Along Gang or have that time you Paralleled Parked in a no Parrnell Parking Zone Brought up"

So the Senators and congressmen offer tepid resistance but in the end they do not roll back any of big government.
