I fear that these kind of insults will drive some Republicans to vote for Stockman in the general. Not you personally; I don't think you have that influence. But that insulting attitude is widely held by DeLay supporters.
Wrong.
If your little coup works, Dim DAs everywhere will know that all they have to do is sucker some GJ in order to bring down a Republican... because spineless voters such as yourself will flee to someone else.
Never mind if the charges are false.
You give the impression that when DeLay wins the primary, you would rather see Lampson win in the general election than for Tom DeLay to have another term. You really do HATE Tom DeLay, don't you?
I yield to your closer analysis of the situation. Even in this era where information is a fingertip away, I still believe that being there trumps everything else.
If Dem DAs believe that Campbell's support is a result of Earle's indictment, they are as mistaken as you.
Honestly, it appears your argument boils down to "We should support DeLay *because* he has been indicted." That is very strange.
As for me, I recognize that Earle's indictment is politically motivated. Your continued mischaracterization is insulting. Unfortunately, you are not alone with that attitude.
You might as well write checks straight to Ronnie Earle and be done with it.
I do find his behavior unethical. Particularly in the Blankenship case. I hold my elected officials to the highest level of ethical behavior.
There is zero chance I will vote for Lampson in the general.
But would you deny a vote to DeLay, by not voting at all or by voting for Stockman? -- either of which is just as good as a vote for Lampson.
Okay, okay. Allow me to back off from attack-mode for a moment.
Do you really believe that Campbell is a better candidate than DeLay?
I'll concede that I will vote for your guy in the general, but not against Tom. Especially because of the precedent it would set.
It's the precedent that you don't seem to understand.
So you fell for the Dim BS. Hook, line and sinker.
No wonder.
BTW, I accused you of murder last night. You have yet to prove your innocence, murderer.
You didn't answer the question that I asked in #23 (is it correct that you would rather see Lampson win in the general election than for Tom DeLay to have another term), or my question in #28 (would you deny a vote to DeLay, by not voting at all or by voting for Stockman?). The absence of an answer to those questions just makes me go hmmmm .......
You really are getting emotionally involved with this. Even in a pure rhetorical sense that you are using, calling someone a murderer is a bit much.
Give me counting yard signs anyday over a poll with a 9 point margin of error.
Nah, just holding SSS to the same standard he's holding Tom to.
Then you would be interested in my yard sign count posted three days ago. When I posted this data on the campaign signs in my neighborhood to SolidSupplySide then, he didn't comment on the difference in his neighborhood. He waited three days to do disclose it on another thread. Why hide that type of information if it's true? It would have been the *perfect* place to point out the disparity! (If the shoe was on the other foot, I wouldn't have been able to resist)!
And I wonder why he/she won't answer my questions on this thread regarding who will get their vote in the general election should Campbell lose?
Delay will win, and he will win easily.
Right on!
The worst outcome would be for Lampson to win. That's why I support Campbell. Campbell has a better chance at winning the general election than DeLay does.
As far as voting for DeLay . . . I haven't voted for him in 10 years. (I've mentioned this on many threads for many years; I don't try to hide it.) I hold elected officials to the highest level of ethical behavior. DeLay's behavior in the Milton Wright election of 1996 is in the grey area, but his contradictory statements under oath in the Blankenship case is an undeniable case of poor character.
