Bill Pierce
Warrior or Diplomat?
The title of this post is going to explain a lot about why I prefer one candidate over another. Liberal ideas are bad, and they are not just bad in the abstract, they have caused real pain and suffering.
Liberal ideas toward crime and punishment caused crime to soar to a peak through the seventies and eighties before the nation came to its senses that crime is what bad people do and prison is where bad people go. In the meantime, the death of the inner city was hastened and countless lives were destroyed. That’s just one example, there are many others.
Conservatives need candidates who understand what the stakes are and will go to Washington to do battle with these liberal ideas and their sponsors and utterly defeat them.
Ted Kennedy is a warrior and will do what it takes to advance his cause. Hillary Clinton is also a warrior. Chuck Schumer? Definitely a warrior.
Unfortunately they are all on the other side, the one with the terrible ideas that have devastating consequences. How many warriors do we have on our side. McCain? sure, but he’s just as likely to frag his own leaders as to oppose liberal ideas, but yes, I’d put him in the warrior category, just wouldn’t want to fight with him. Anyone else? Just sitting here this morning, I can’t think of any other GOP senator whom I would classify as more of a warrior than a diplomat.
But let’s talk about our very own senators. Does warrior describe them? Ha! Voinovich and DeWine went to DC, not to fight, but to make deals with Democrats to divide up our taxes. DeWine votes with the Democrats on the environment, gun control and spending. And the last one is the biggest.
The problem with the GOP is too many diplomats, not enough warriors. I say we fire some diplomats and send some fighters!
DeWine has a primary challenger, Bill Pierce, who has an absolutely impressive life story and has been wronged by the federal government. I would definitely trust a guy like that to know what the stakes are and be prepared to fight.
On May 2nd, two weeks from last Tuesday, vote for Pierce!

Nice, and accurate, dichotomy.
Absolutely. Great post, and oh-so-painfully accurate. I guess you could call Voinovich a “Weeping Warrior,” but maybe not so much a warrior at all. The GOP has some warriors in the House, if only their influence would rub off. Pierce is clearly the man for the job, and he has my vote.
[...] NixGuy clearly delineates the difference between Bill Pierce and Ohio’s current senatorial crop: Conservatives need candidates who understand what the stakes are and will go to Washington to do battle with these liberal ideas and their sponsors and utterly defeat them. [...]
