GOP talking points on Ted Stevens

By GottaLaff

Via Jed:

From the Anchorage Daily News, here are some of the talking points about Ted Stevens given to Alaska delegates at the GOP convention:

On Stevens being electable:

-- Ted Stevens is our guy.

-- He is the only person, except Governor Palin, who can beat Mark Begich in November.

-- As long as he does not receive jail time he is legally capable of serving.

Of course. Anyone who is anyone is following those very same talking points:
Sarah first looked at [my wife] said hello, and I shook her hand. I asked, "Are supporting Ted Stevens this year?" She replied, "He's under indictment you know...his trial is in September." I replied, "But are you voting for him?" She walked away without answering.
I knew it all sounded too familiar.

So many scandals, so few answers.

If Stevens gets convicted but gets no jail time and then gets re-elected, IMO, we should give the AIP what it wants. Okay, I'm not totally serious but...c'mon.
John Rowland, ex-gov. of CT was convicted of similar charges. Year and a day in federal prison.

I agree. He shouldn't even be running, let alone popular. It's unbelievable how low the standards are, unless it's about a Dem. Then everyone would be screaming.

Have you seen the video of Palin's address that included the quotes about the war in Iraq being a task from God, etc? If not:

I don't remember seeing the vids here, but if you did post them & I missed them, then I apologize for the repeat.

I didn't post it, but maybe Paddy did. I can again, if enough people tell me if we did or not. : )
