It's Interesting Sarah Steelman Let Billy Long Play the Victim Card: Steelman Has Been Accused of Playing the Gender Card

Billy Long has played a victim all the way through this election. You may have heard him claim to be a victim of Internet rumors as he puts on a sad face. It even led a pathetic reporter at the News-Leader to write Long's feelings "may have been hurt."

In a recent set of embarrassing interviews now posted on YouTube featuring Sarah Steelman and Billy Long, Steelman allows Billy Long to play the victim card. Poor Billy, victim of the Internet. Doing some research, it's no wonder why Steelman allowed Long to play this card. Steelman plays this same game of politics.

I remind you, playing these cards isn't a conservative value. Both these politicians claim they are conservative.

This from the KY3 Notebook:

In an article in CongressDaily on gender's role in the Missouri Senate race, Roy Blunt's spokesman suggested that Sarah Steelman has already played the gender card.

Blunt spokesman Rich Chrismer said Blunt has "an excellent record for both men and women" and suggested Steelman made gender an issue in the race with her comments earlier this year that Blunt was "another white guy in a suit," reports Erin McPike of CongressDaily.

It also includes this nugget: "A Republican in Blunt's camp countered that with Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill already in office, Missouri voters might be better served balancing that with a male."

"Should the general election be woman-against-woman, Steelman cited an edge because her experiences as a mother to three children will help her relate to a large swath of voters trying to meet day-to-day parenting challenges more than Carnahan, who has no children," writes McPike.


Conservatives don't run on labels. They run on their qualifications.
