Scandal-plagued Vitter to ‘rebrand’ conservatives

Scandal-plagued Vitter to ‘rebrand’ conservatives.

Speaking at a policy lunch on Tuesday, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), who recently admitted to frequenting a prostitution service run by the “DC Madam,” told his colleagues that Senate conservatives should “rebrand” themselves “by reclaiming the fiscal conservative mantle.” According to The Hill, “This time, his colleagues held the applause.”

3. My humble suggestion.....
Update the branding from the Party of Family Values, to the Party of Familiar Values. Maybe no one will notice....

4. Found a typo:
“by reclaiming the fiscal conservative mantle.”

Should read:

"by reclaiming the fecal conservative matter."

Really, you cant discuss Vitter without bringing up his penchant for Huggies.

7. Vitter needs to answer some questions
Before he leans more right to grab that mantle, I'd like to hear some answers.
Kicked and Rec'd from a Louisiana girl!
And maybe Wendy should apologize for her Uncle's gross generalization regarding typical New Orleans women too!

Viiter should know the repubes lost their fiscal conservative mantle
when they drove up the biggest debt in history.

In fact.. when were they ever truly fiscally conservative ???
Seems it's all just a ruse for them to stuff their pockets
with dollars stolen from the poor.

Never trust a republican.

Never.
