Nunelee: Pelosi Is “The Giant in the Valley”
In an earlier election notebook, I referenced an article where Alan Nunnelee said he would not directly respond to Angela McGlowan, saying he needs to exert his energy on the “giant roaming in the valley” rather than “family fights.”
Nunnelee expanded upon that statement in his campaign blog, when he added this:
The lesson I learned from this (1 Samuel 17:28) is that we must remain focused on the “Giant in the Valley”. If we choose not to do so, we can expend all of our energy fighting within our own family. While we are engaging in family fights, the Giant continues to roam. In 2010, the giant we face is the liberal agenda unleashed on our country by Nancy Pelosi. Our own Congressman has empowered her to advance this agenda, and she must be stopped. I’m confident in my conservative credentials and therefore I feel it is best to ignore the taunts of others within our own family and focus on our mission.
I am in complete agreement with this viewpoint. While I do believe I should take the time to discern which of the candidates best represents my views, I do not want to carelessly throw away the race by succumbing to infighting which is what beat us in 08. I will forever think of Pelosi as “The Giant” from here on out.
Nunnelee makes a very good stand here.
I have to say that I am impressed with Nunnelee taking the highroad on this point. After all he is the only candidate that has been attacked at this point in the race. It is easy to say you are taking the highroad when no one is attacking you. It is when you are under direct fire and you take this kind of stand that you true character shines through.
I agree with you brenda keyes about taking the time to discern which candidate best represents my views but I have to say this is the kind of character I am looking for in a Representative.
Frank Lee you are right it is easy to take the high road when no one is attacking you or your work history. I like Nunnelee. I hear so many things about him that just are not true. It must take a great deal of self control and confidence to keep your cool when someone openly and pointedly attacks you over and over. I am not Nunnelee but McGlowan has ticked me off a lot in this short campaign just attacking him. He is smart to focus on Pelosi.
Sometimes candidates can take the high road because they have friends and supporters who can do the name calling for them. Not saying that is true about Nunnelee. There are some real dirty politics going on right now.
tea party leader ii tHat Is very true. it is kind of like what you did with this statement that you have just made here. this story and these Comments are about nunnelee specifically so you made an accusation and followed it up witH “i don’t know if its true About this candidate” ReaLly! this is sO lame. is iT amaTurE nIghT in the ross caMp oncE AGAIN?
Pelosi does have a big head but I dont think she is all that tall. Plus Washinton is on a hill not in a valley. You know capital hill and all.
Yes Sarah her head is big. It is just to bad that it is empty too.
