Too late.
Willie had some good points, that were wiped off and resulted in No Replies. As a result, the Bush-Bots get free reign, and to hell with the truth.
I don't agree with a lot of Willies posts -- his ideas on Light Rail are cost-prohibitive and destructive to neighborhoods (IMO) -- but his ideas on Power Generation and Desalinization are on the mark.
I currently support Bush -- but only because the alternative is so much worse -- but make no mistake I am still supporting the lesser of two evils. Willie's been around quite a while, likely a lot longer than most of the Mods. Maybe there should be a notation based on Sign-up Date and Posting History that will flag the Mods prior to a post deletion. I find too many of the old-timers post infrequently, as the board has become a Republican Stronghold instead of a Constitutional one.
However, if there is a pattern of Willie's posts being pulled unfairly, then your points may have resonance.
Willie? Which was it?
