“...if you are affiliated with a campaign, organization, etc., then you have an obligation to disclose that and clarify whether your statement or activity is approved or endorsed....

....I respect honesty and would like to trust someone is commenting for themselves, ‘from the heart if you will, than being the propagandist for a candidate, organization, etc. Isn’t this important to you as well?

Are you saying, or trying to imply, that 2DV has to, from now on, disclose that he is, or has been, a bundler (or otherwise been affiliated) for a candidate and that each comment he makes should be accompanied by a statement that it is “from his heart” and state whether or not that particular comment is “approved or endorsed” by his favored candidate?

You are coming VERY close to the tactics used by Lois Lerner and other ‘RAT operatives as they try to suppress “speech” with which they disagree. The anti-Cruz jihadists aren’t trying to go down THAT road now....are they? To me, it seems that you have started blazing a path down that Stasi trail. Threats and intimidation do not become someone who claims to be a constitutional conservative and, instead, cast doubt on those claims.

House Atreides, I am NOT trying to suppress anyone's speech! Please read my comments throughout this thread and my comments in past discussions. All I was pointing out this evening, upon learning that 2ndDivisionVet was a bundler for Cruz, that he should be disclosing his affiliation, paid or not, that when he comments, further clarifying that they are his or on behalf of the campaign, and if the latter, if they are endorsed by or approved by the campaign. That is all. It is really simple. If someone is affiliated with a campaign, they have a proactive duty to disclose it. Simply as a member, I'd like to know if I am engaged in discussion with a trolling propagandist or with someone writing on their own behalf.

I appreciate and thank 2ndDivisionVet for his honest disclosure. Personally, I'm still curious who the other Cruz representative is in the group and, now that this has become a point of discussion, who else here is affiliated with other campaigns, parties, or organizations.

Will I discontinue engaging 2ndDivisionVet in discussion? No! But now at least, I know he's an extension of the campaign.

Seriously.....please look in the mirror.

You should ask to have that post pulled. Not needed on this forum :(
