The 'R' Word
Once again I am tired. I am tired of seeing shady and corrupt public officials in government. I have Weir on my mind. John McCain seems to think that it is okay to limit how much can be given to a political candidate. I see this as an affront to freedom of speech (which must include freedom of expression). I do, however, believe that every cent given to a public official, must be viewable to the general public. This is so important for the people to have access to. We must see who gives to an official in order to better understand our official's political motives. I say, let whoever give as much as they want to a candidate. And in return, let the people see who is giving the money and how much money they gave. Do you see why this is important? Ken Weir seems to keep quiet. He didn't want to fully complete his form 700 last year. I don't know why. But it seems like there might have been some conflicts of interest. He was finally forced to provide the information. Now, he doesn't offer a credible explanation for wanting to oust Johnson. The reason he gives is a difference of views, but I see consistency. Is it that they see different on one particular issue? This dilemma has led me to support any recall, or resignation, of Ken Weir. I expect my public officials to be glad to provide information to the public. Any less shows me dishonesty and disregard for the people. 8 comments from 4 users

In a democracy where everyone has an equal voice, expect alot of shouting to be heard. Money translates into air time. Conflict of interest is not always obvious if large donations are hidden by sham "committees" for election. Elaborate propaganda "paid for by the Commitee to Elect Catpaw for Dogcatcher" could be a million dollars from a fur coat company. The idea of limiting donations is to give an opponent more of an equal voice and (hopefully) limit the influence of special interests on elections. posted by

John McBush thinks it's OK to limit the campaign expenditures of *OTHERS*. He's already broken his own law. . Good thing he had the forethought to write in that loophole so he can use his former mistress' jet airplane on the campaign trail and hide her tax returns. . But I'd be with you on Weir, if I lived in the city limits. posted by

And Saint Ronnie was wrong when *HE* said it. Of course, he wasn't much of a president either. Or a governor. . McBush actually upped the ante to a *MILLION* years. posted by

So go ahead and give us the "correct" quote, Chico. The full and complete quotation, not just a link to an excerpt from another site. posted by

Don't even need to ML. Watched the good Ambassador on the tube last night. Even he said Wright misquoted him (adding the "chickens come home to roost" bit) and more importantly that he completely misconstrued his meaning. End of story (except of course for apologist wannabe black gangstuhs such as yourself.......)
