Guest areafiftyone Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 CNN:(CNN) - Put Joe Miller on the list of Tea Party candidates who have vowed to either avoid national media reporters or try to restrict the types of questions they're asked by them.During a press conference following a candidate forum Monday in Anchorage, Miller told reporters that his campaign has "drawn a line in the sand.""You can ask me about background, you can ask me about personal issues - I'm not going to answer," Miller said, according to the Anchorage Daily News."We are calling upon all responsible members of the media to focus on the issues, the legitimate issues and not repeat basically the lies and innuendos, not repeat the clear violations of law, but to focus on the issues at hand," he added.It's common for political campaigns to strategize about their media relations tactics, but Miller is one of a few Tea Party backed candidates this election cycle to publicly vow to try to control the message that reporter's report.

Stella Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 This strategy always works for the Democrats. It's why nobody knew anything about Obama. It depends what the people of Alaska think about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of student loans he didn't say what this was about. I think he is doing this because of his family benefiting from Medicaid and a state-run health care program for low-income children and pregnant women. They found this out after he was criticizing entitlement programs. The Democrats have been pounding him on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he should answer this charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he should answer this charge. He won't. He only has about 3 weeks. The race is close right now - we will see how well this works for him.

Outside of student loans he didn't say what this was about. Apparently he used his office computer for some work on Sarah's campaign. The link to the article below does not say how the matter was resolved other than he was placed on leave for a period of time.

Who hasn't used their office or work computer for something other than job-related work? One that can connect to web. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
