I don't condone it. I hope he learned a lesson from it.<br /><br />Modern: yes, DeMint backed questionable candidates, like Angle and even worse, O'Donnell. *shudder*<br /><br />But he also backed some great ones like Rubio, Johnson, Paul and Toomey.<br /><br />Though his politics are certainly different than yours, I would hope that you'd agree that Mandel is a serious and quality candidate, and not one of the flaky variety like Angle.<br /><br />My point was NOT that DeMint always backs the best candidate. But he has the most successful PAC of any sitting legislator. He's already indicating that he will bring national conservative attention to the Ohio race. This will attract a lot of extra money to the GOP candidate (should that candidate be SCF endorsed, which I believe Mandel would be.)Nick (aka Bytor)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826772166599084105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-48387260728303640652011-04-20T08:48:25.085-04:002011-04-20T08:48:25.085-04:00Jung Dem: "Reference to a regrettable comment...Jung Dem: "Reference to a regrettable comment that Senator Brown himself and publicly apologized for when it was taken out of context (he didn't refer to anyone as Nazis, he brought up a factual incident including Nazis) is okay."<br /><br />So amazing that when a democrat engages in demagoguery that quote is ALWAYS played back "out of context". <br /><br />Of course when asked, "well, what was the context then?" -- you get a deafening silence.<br /><br />In fact, that there is no proper context for calling, or implying, that the actions of American republicans or conservatives have anything to to with mass murdering Nazis. None.<br /><br />It was a 100% inappropriate remark -- but calling conservatives Nazis is such common practice on the left that they often can't control themselves. Slips out don't you see?<br /><br />The republicans were trying to fix up the mess left by Nancy Pelosi -- she had an overwhelming majority in the House yet failed to even put up or pass a budget for the United States. If you ever doubted the incompetence of democrats.... <br /><br />And if you have any doubt about which side is routinely engaged in vial, hate-filled language in this country you need merely watch video after video of union thugs caught on tape all across this country these last few months. <br /><br />Like the one this weekend of two middle aged union men yelling the f-word and to w-word at a 13 year old school girl trying to present her views at a rally in Madison.<br /><br />But only democratic children deserve respect. NO union or democrat apology appeared.

The links and inferences made to a "radical mosque?"<br /><br />Bringing up factual events in no way linked to Republicans (read the transcript, he doesn't call anyone a Nazi) vs. inuendo flaming racial tensions. Riiiiiight...<br /><br />I'll ignore an out-of-state PAC and Senator sticking their nose in an Ohio race. Because it's only terrible when out-of-state PACs and Senators do that for Democrats or progressive ideas like collective bargaining.JungDemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-49667157579303347672011-04-17T14:32:41.090-04:002011-04-17T14:32:41.090-04:00"Don't be so sure of that, the swell did ..."Don't be so sure of that, the swell did not even give us Mandel Lawn signs."<br /><br />Yeah one of the biggest factors holding back a republican victory in Ohio is the almost useless Ohio Republican Party -- we should start by getting rid of the DeWine crowd.

Unless things change rather substantially on the national level (and that seems unlikely with inflation now starting to gain serious momentum)I believe Obama will probably NOT carry Ohio. I believe the driving force for this election will not only be tea party members but also many independents eager to address the big con job they got in 2008. This should create a significant headwind for democrats all down the ticket including the Senate race.Fargo44https://www.blogger.com/profile/07836292761618023671noreply@blogger.com
