You’ve given lot’s of good reasons for not supporting Pat Roberts, but the reasons to support Milton Wolf are a little weak.
Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. Wolf is a doctor, he lives in Kansas, he says conservative stuff and he posted X-rays of patients on Facebook and made some really stupid remarks about them. And, his opponent is a meanie. Boy, there’s a winning combination.
Complaining about people digging up dirt that demonstrates that you are a complete dumbass is not an election winning strategy. Ask Todd Akin about that. Goodbye Dr. Wolf.
“Complaining about people digging up dirt that demonstrates that you are a complete dumbass is not an election winning strategy. Ask Todd Akin about that. Goodbye Dr. Wolf.”
Just keep in mind that there’s a pattern here. First Greg Brannon, then Matt Bevin, then Milton Wolf and they’re in the process of digging dirt on Chris McDaniel.
It seems that when an incumbent republican or an establishment choice is in danger or a conservative is gaining ground, all of a sudden, there’s something put out there that causes many to say “oh, no, not another Todd Akin. We should just stick with the safe guy, the incumbent or the guy the establishment wants, so we can win the seat.”
And then we end up with a Ted Stevens, a Thad Cochran, a Richard Lugar, a John Warner, an Orrin Hatch. We’ll give up on challenging incumbent republicans and we’ll just hope for retirements. And the same old thing will continue.
These battles are worth it. EVERY congressman and senator should have a primary. There should be NO unopposed elections. We’ll win some, they’ll win some. But the politicians in Washington will continually be looking over their shoulders when casting a vote.
