Why We Need Money In Politics
By Mitch Berg
If you can’t get the media to do anything but paint Democrats’ toenails on the air, you have to get your own media to do it for you.
Of course, the conservative media that does exist – talk radio – largely reaches an echo chamber. A smart, superlative echo chamber, but the proverbial choir nonetheless.
Doug Wardlow did something I’ve been dying for a Republican to do for years; put out an ad that tells the actual truth about Keith Ellison…
…that the likes of Esme Murphy or John Cronin will never, ever allow to cross their lips.
And it took money – filthy lucre! – to get it on the air, to do the job the Twin Cities media will not.
And that’s why Democrats want campaign finance “reform”.

I hope everyone is a regular reader and contributor to Alpha News. They’re the tip of the spear in Minnesota.

Like to see a little more cross-pollination on the right.

Ellison wouldn’t swap a federal for a state office unless it enhanced his career.
I suppose that Ellison will attempt to nationalize his office, by filing lawsuits against Trump & the federal government, and by defending (or refusing to prosecute) vote fraud. He will also make MN a sanctuary state. It is a dead certainty that Ellison will institute racially devisive policies by refusing to prosecute the crimes most likely to be committed by minorities.
Wardlow should run against Ellison’s policies, not his alleged abuse of women.

I suspect Ellison has his eye on the Governors office.

“He will also make MN a sanctuary state. It is a dead certainty that Ellison will institute racially devisive policies by refusing to prosecute the crimes most likely to be committed by minorities.”
He’d have no power to do either as AG. AG seldom, seldom prosecutes criminal charges that are otherwise prosecutable in county courts.

Look at Ellison’s “issues” page: https://keithellison.org/issues
How many of these issues are federal rather than local?
