Sharon Angle needs to moderate her tone

If Sharon Angle expects to beat Harry Reid for Nevada’s Senate seat this November, she needs to moderate her tone. Or to put it another way she needs to improve her communication skills. I’m not saying she needs to compromise her values, she just needs to learn a better way to communicate those values. Here’s an example… say you come home and you wife has prepared dinner. It looks delicious, but when you take the first bite it’s so salty that you almost gag on it. What do you say? Here is one thing you could say -
“What the hell is wrong with you? Don’t you know too much salt is bad for me? Are you trying to kill me? I’m not going to eat it. I bet dog food would taste better than this crap.”
Or, you could put it another way -
“Gee honey, this is a little salty. Is it OK if I make something else for myself? Next time could you please not put salt on it?”
You’re saying the same thing in both cases. Which is more likely to get you what you want though? Ms. Angle needs to learn how to present her ideas the second way, and also in a way that won’t let the media twist her words into sounding like the first way. If she can’t – or won’t – then we’ll be stuck with another 6 years of “dirty Harry” and the only thing that will save our Nation is divine intervention.
