A Poll that has to annoy Libs
Mar 15th, 2010 by David Anderson
Republican David Vitter has a 23 point lead in his reelection to the Senate seat in Louisiana. Issues matter more than personal attacks. That is a lesson for both sides.
The hand wringing wimps on our side who wanted Vitter to resign haven’t been heard from all year. They are too busy tripping over themselves to be seen backing a winner. The fact is that Vitter sought redemption. That makes him humble. No matter what, we all need redemption. We may not have made fools out of ourselves and hurt those who love us like Vitter did, but we all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD. We all need redemption. Voters, being human, can relate to that fact. They will be happy to be a part of his redemption as long as he opposes health care deform. The Senator who would be in trouble is the one who sold the voters out for deal. That is something they are far less forgiving about.
The public corruption that is part and parcel of the ruling regime not the private struggles of individuals needs to be our focus. Let the personal remain personal and let the public issues be public. Who would you rather have running a government Burr or Hamilton–Hitler or FDR– Stalin or Churchill, Buchanan or Jefferson? The former had better personal lives, the later served the public better.
Tiger is next to come back.
