Now, if this is all just a means to an end, that end being the weakening of Boehner as the Speaker and the GOP leadership in general, I get it, but I still think it is the wrong tactic to employ.
First, any tactic that is based on a lie is one that I reject outright as a Christian and as a conservative. No man deserves to be tarred and feathered over a lie, and his political ideology just doesn’t change that fact. It wasn’t right when Brad Dayspring, of the NRSC, leaked oppo hits filled with half truths about conservatives running for the U.S. Senate, and it isn’t right now that the shoe is on the other foot.
Second, I want conservatism to win. Not by default, chance, or dubious claims of racism, but because it truly is the best form of government to lift our nation out of the doldrums caused by Democrats and complicit Republicans. I don’t see how jumping on a false accusation will help conservative in the House or Senate in the long run. In fact, I believe it will do nothing but hurt us.
After all, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the House Leadership threw Scalise under the bus over this since he is the token conservative.
