Alright, two days ago I hit David McSweeney for his lousy ads attacking Kathy Salvi. Seems the headline I gave the post was the most controversial, so I just gave Kathy Salvi the exact same headline. They are the two leading candidates in the Republican primary for the 8th Congressional District, currently held by Melissa Bean. I said then that they better both behave because defeating Bean, THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT WHO CURRENTLY HOLDS A CONGRESSIONAL SEAT (!!!) is the big enchalada! Period! Salvi and McSweeney are both good candidates and we will be well represented in Congress by either. I favor Salvi, a conservative dynamo who I believe has the better chance of defeating Bean and will be a national asset as a spokesman. But I will enthusiastically support either.
Today Salvi gets taken to my woodshed. I heard your lousy add today Kathy, saying we can't trust David McSweeney. As I said about his ads, that is a load of crap (It's a blog, I can say crap!). No candidate is perfect, you aren't and he isn't. But you are both pretty good. You can run just as effectively against him without attacking him and weakening him for the general, should he be the nominee. Just as he can run against you on the tort issue without calling you a liberal democrat, you can run against him on the tax issue without saying we can't trust him.
Would both of you do the unthinkable in politics, care more about the country than you do about yourselves. MELISSA BEAN IS THE TARGET! You both are such good candidates. You have it in you to win. Compete, but behave over the next 5 days. It will be hard. Now prove to us you can take the pressure of being a Congressman.
