There’s evidence that certain rich establishment Republicans are taking steps to discourage Tea Party types from running for Congress, mostly by financing candidates who meet the approval of the establishment.
This is probably bad news for Democrats, because the Tea Party extremists are easier to beat. On the other hand, it would be good for the country if the candidates who ran for Congress had an actual grounding in the real world.
That’s the best I can do for my weekly Sunday posting of good news. There just isn’t all that much good news these days.
It shouldn't matter who the republicans choose to run. The right questions need to be asked by voters. The media doesn't do a very good job of asking the right questions and doing the necessary follow up questions.
ReplyDeleteWhere does the candidate stand on the voter ID issue. Or women's issues, immigration reform and assault weapons stances. We can't let up. Like I've said before, you can't trust republicans.
As for their rich supporters, I think we all know that their true allegiance is to the almighty dollar and not the country.
