As the race in the 15th Conressional District gets under way, I thought you'd like to know that "Charles" Dertinger has launched his very own campaign blog. In his initial entry, he tells us that Republicans have mucked things up pretty badly. I agree. But "Charles" doesn't tell us what he'll do if elected.
He criticizes Dent for taking $50,000 from the gas and oil industry in 2004. But will Dertinger pledge to refuse this special interest money? Will he sign the light rail petition for the Lehigh Valley? I asked these questions last Friday, and repeated them in a comment to his blog. But our comments to his blog are not published.
Kind of defeats the purpose, don't you think? Is this a blog or a propaganda machine?

Post a Comment
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
