WHY IS THIS CREEP AHEAD OF RUSS FEINGOLD WHEN HE CONSIDERS A QUESTION ABOUT ' HOMELESS VETS ' AS NOT AN ELECTION ABOUT ' DETAILS '?



" Wisconsin's Republican Senate hopeful Ron Johnson got tripped up on a point of policy during a recent interview: Asked what the Department of Veteran's Affairs' responsibility is to homeless veterans, Johnson declared that his election fight against Sen. Russ Feingold is not "about details."

"Certainly the people that step up to the plate to answer that call -- they are a top priority in terms of spending. So we do need a strong VA system. We need to support those folks as long as they need support," Johnson said.


The moderator pressed Johnson -- a government skeptic -- to explain exactly how the government should respond to the issue of homeless vets. "Are there specific things that you think need to happen within that galaxy of services, perhaps, that the VA has some responsibility for or other organizations that would help homeless veterans?"

Johnson responded, flummoxed.

"Specifically I can't really -- I haven't been there, I don't have all the details. One thing I will point out: I don't believe this election really is about details. It just isn't. I mean as I've gone through the state of Wisconsin I've viewed this pretty much as a job interview.... I'll have to get there. I'll have to start performing the job."

1. He's right - this election is not about details...

it's about hyperbole and sweeping generalizations

2. You are right..... The media is allowing this man to keep his silver spoon in

his mouth, and not give the Wisconsin voters detailed answers.

5. Not About Details?

If the election is not about details, then when are the people supposed to get the details of what you would do if elected - after the election? Wow - that is rethug brilliance at its best!
