How Mia Can Win: Don't Let Matheson Define Her


On April 22nd I posted a blog summarizing this year’s convention. In it I expressed concern that Mia Love would be subjected to the same sorts of slander that her predecessors have been. I stated that she needed to get out in front of the silliness and attack the idea of “right wing extremism,” an ill-defined term that the newspapers have been using to scare people into voting as close to Democrat as their conscious will allow. It’s a term the party needs to deal with because it is, as a point of fact, the primary weapon of the Democrats, and a great method of distraction. After all, why pay attention to the spending and the loss of liberty if we are flinging mud at each other?
