  • Where to begin?

    If you disagree with a policy position that a candidate or an elected official puts forward, why don't you argue against it? . . . Instead you're taking a shortcut and just trashing the guy's personal life? What a sleazy shortcut that is. - Tucker Carlson

    Unfortunately for Senator Vitter, he has-- voluntarily-- conflated his personal life and his policy positions-- and has insisted that what is good enough for him and his family is darn well good enough for the rest of us, too.

    ...except for one small detail. Apparently, it wasn't really good enough for him, after all.

    Shouldn't the public be allowed to make an "informed choice" on whether Senator Vitter's public policy/personal values are really good enough... or even adequate... not for him, since he's an adult and can decide for himself, but for themselves-- before they vote for him. Or before they vote for those he would similarly endorse, such as Candidate Giuliani? More importantly, before he votes on anything of substance, but I guess we're already past that threshhold.

    You know both he (Carlson) and they (RWA/GOP) would agree on the importance of making an informed choice if this were a drug trial. (randomized, not criminal)

    And Carlson? Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.
