Don't be stupid. Really, don't be stupid.
Stop. Reread your comment. Does it make sense?
Are you making something up out of thin air in order to attack me with it? Reading something into a post that's clearly not there or even implied?
Then don't bother posting. For that matter, if that's the case, don't bother coming back.
Perhaps it's the nature of the office, but it does seem that most local legislators have been profiles in mediocrity. But then again, it's doubtful that the public would ever know of anything they did to stand up for what's right or resist selling out or cutting a deal, etc. Aside from when they hand out some cash for one thing or another, or do something stupid or ethically dubious or outright corrupt, most people never hear a thing about what they're up to. (Hell, I'd wager most people don't have a clue who their state congressman or senator is! And even worse, I'm sure a shocking number don't know who their US reps and senators are, or even who the governor is. But that's another matter.)
ReplyDeleteI've become a fan of Sen. Don Harmon, who seems to be exceedingly competent.
