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.
Question 1:
ReplyDeleteDean, are you proud of your deciding vote to raise taxes 16% unnecessarily in the worst economy since The Great Depression?
Terrible spin, if the voters buy that one we have an even worse problem.
ReplyDeleteDean? 16%?
ReplyDeleteI went and all that came out of the debate was the continuing bashing Dean Browning. I heard nothing in specifics of what the gang of four plan to govern. Seems to me if you are running as a group, you would have a coordinated plan. Wasn't there.
ReplyDeleteI, too, attended the debate last night and was glad I did. It's always worthwhile to hear and see candidates in person before casting your vote.
ReplyDeleteI've made a conscious and openly declared decision to not comment publicly on the fight between Dean Browning and the ticket that opposes him, however I would like to make the following observations:
There were valid points made last night by each of the candidates, even Mike Welsh, who at times seemed out of his depth: Jenna Portnoy's story in today's Call gives a good recap.
And Brad Osborne came out of the fray sounding reasonable and statesmanlike.
So you wont share your opinions when it involves republicans.Thats why many dont value your opinions. you only rant and rave against democrats.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me? I've published at least ten articles condemning th Gang of Four, who happen to be Republicans. I've published three or four blogs taking aim at LC GOP party boss Wayne Woodman. You don't know what you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteSorry bernie, my comment 12:21 was aimed at pam.
ReplyDeleteMy mistake.
ReplyDeletePam has a right to be Switzerland in this rivalry between members of her own party. It might actually be the best policy to just watch and decide in the voting booth. We end up making lots of enemies when we take sides. I think I understand why Pam is sitting this one out. She can't fight every battle.
