It makes me sick to think that someone who claims to be anti-abortion can do something like that. I do hope Mr. Whalen suffers a huge defeat.

The manager did not have Whalen's permision, nor was directed by Whalen. It put's Whalen in a bad political spot, this close to election time. If he criticizes or fires his manager, it could be used to say Whalen is a bad judge of peopel. If he defends his manager, then Whalen looks like a jerk. Whalen hasn't addressed the e-mails, but did ask if the the other candidate was now pro-life, which she would not answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardillacid Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Campaigning always is nasty, don't know if you missed that, its a part of politics. Wishing for a pro-life candidate to lose to a pro-abortion candidate just because of some mud-slinging is going overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote](I believe he asked her if it was true she changed to become pro-life, not if the home-wrecking was true.) But you make an excellent point. It's better to have Whalen lose because he hired a creep for a manager, was a jerk when the creepy manager was an ass, and elect someone who doesn't want to limit abortion. That'll teach those rude mud-slinging degenerates. I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] So now an uncivil word is considered morally worse than the mass-slaughter of innocent babies? (I'm not saying incivility is right, but I am saying your priorities seem skewed.)
