Why don’t Republicans get it? Democrats win elections by running as moderates or what they call “blue dog Democrats”-Democrats who espouse conservative ideas (at least until they’re elected and fall in line behind the likes of Pelosi, Reid and Schumer). Sure, there are some exceptions, like John McCain who, oddly enough, has turned right since the primaries.
Much to my chagrin, my Republican candidate for the US House of Representatives, Dale Sweetland, has come out in favor of releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Who does he think he is, Dan Maffei? Why not just come out and announce that we can turn the economy around if all Americans raid their 401k?
Totally agree. Excellent point. You ought to email the suggestion about the 401k to Sweetland. Tell him you’ll start an Internet petition right away (grin).
BTW, nice site.

Told you before – Sweetland is NOT a Conservative. His record in the County Leg on taxes and spending is awful.

Well, what do we do? I certainly can’t vote for Dan Maffei, he’s horrible.
