“The Idaho GOP needs to find a well-liked elected official who has Sali’s views, but without his abrasiveness.”
That’s not going to help. You could have a candidate that was a combination of Mother Theresa and Santa Claus, and the left would still hate him, and the media would still demonize him.
Look what they did to Sarah Palin. A wonderful woman, with no “abrasiveness” whatsoever, and that didn’t help her at all.
When dealing with scumbags, civility is just a self-imposed handicap. It is past time to be not just abrasive, but downright aggressive.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I know you listened carefully to the remarks of my friend from across the aisle, but his remarks must be evaluated in light of the fact that he is a loathsome, lying scoundrel, a crook, an enemy of the constitution, a moral leper.”
The district elected Helen Chenowith, then Butch Otter. As far as I can tell, neither were RINO’s. While it’s true that Bill Sali was unfairly smeared, he also made some avoidable mistakes.
