But I don't see a lot of real difference if you strip away the rhetoric and the pandering. Jim (Lee) I think is in this for the right reasons, but the scary thing is that even Bob thinks this of him. Note to Jim: Call Bob and have him say some nasty stuff about you. It'll help you. A lot. Many people have told me around town ‘anyone but Bob (Inglis)’.

Jansen Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:59:52 +0000 http://theconservativist.com/?p=2293#comment-9355 Thanks for the link. I note, however, that I considered this a personal thing between me and CJ's 'editor', but being disgusted after a series of emails, I posted a 'status' that I just 'unfriended' a congressional candidate (I did not name the candidate) and to my great pleasure and / or amusement I received several thumbs up on the status post and a question from Gary as to 'whom' I just unfriended. It kind of went on from there, and perhaps it should have. . . It would seem that a lot of folks consider a lot of the candidates to be every bit as vile, or even viler than the incumbents. And probably rightly so. In my view anyone that seeks power (or panders to get power) is not fit to wield it. Thanks for the link.

Jansen Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:44:05 +0000 http://theconservativist.com/?p=2293#comment-9352 No feelings of mine were hurt. Christina had called me a few months earlier and asked me, as a favor, to avoid posting certain topics on her page. which, as a favor, I did. (strike one); then she did a anti-deist (my particular religion, shared by many of our countries much loved founders) anti-first amendment spiel (I wouldn't call it a speech) at the westside library (strike two); finally when her daughter sent me the email saying she was going to do selective editing, it was (strike three - and out) for Christina. On the SPAM topic, one person's SPAM is another persons relevant point or clip. Unless folks do (excessive) Anglo-Saxon oaths, or post something that would cause the facebook AI engine/censors to sweat, I don't censor posts on my wall. I expect the same courtesy.
