Two Tea Party favorites and Republican nominees for the Senate, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Sharron Angle of Nevada, are purposely avoiding interviews with the national media!
This strategy is, supposedly, to avoid bad press about their extremist and whacky views on many important issues! But the problem is that it sets a bad precedent, as can these two possible future Senators expect that they are not accountable for what they have said and done? 🙁
Do they really think that avoiding the media will improve their image and public standing? 🙁
What are they going to do about public debates with their Democratic opponents, Jack Conway in Kentucky and Harry Reid in Nevada? Are they going to refuse to explain their views and to face the people they wish to serve? 🙁
Their avoidance of the media only adds fuel to the fire that they are both unfit for public office, and it makes the whole Tea Party Movement look even more ridiculous and outside the mainstream of American politics!
It will be interesting to watch both Paul and Angle squirm and evade over the next 20 weeks to November 2. It will be some of the best political entertainment in years! 🙂 LOL
Jack Conway? The voters of Kentucky are lucky he posted the 5 issues he has on his website. Good luck finding out anything about this man!
Rand Paul did 5 national and 2 local interviews this week, I didn’t hear a peep from Conway!
Doing an interview on conservative talk radio and/or Fox News Channel is NOT opening one up to a challenging discussion, but rather to a “soft” questioning, and “preaching to the choir”!
