I haven't noticed this individual making a big deal out of his private life and apparently no one in the Senate did either.
No they did not. They have been quite effectively cowed, it would seem. Everyone is so afraid of what the New York and Los Angeles media will do to them that they will not back talk or question "Big Anus" any longer.
That is also the reason why they can't balance the budget. They know the New York and Los Angeles media will launch a massive assault against them if they attempt it.
It is the same reason they won't tell that Lazy, Ignorant, Mouthy, Affirmative Action President to go F*** himself. It is why the left agenda keeps advancing on all fronts. Nobody can fight the media people who are all Liberal Democrats.
Although, personally I don't disagree much with your sentiment's, I realize many in our society today disagree both with my extreme conservatism and religious beliefs which is why I choose not to publicly discuss them outside of a forum such as this
We are being herded and the public is being turned against us by the New York and Los Angeles Media systems. Since they control what the public hear, they decide what the public wil think about things. (within a permissible range of steerage.)
Our positions used to be the norm in this country. They were the norm for the vast majority of years, and for the vast majority of people for all those years.
Now they are being regarded as extremist and irrational, though we haven't moved at all. It is the nation that has been moved leftward.
