It doesn't matter. If the Chronicle thinks it has dirt on politicians involved with highway construction, let them publish it. Let the politicians refute it. Get the info out and let the public decide. That's the way it works. Fine by me.

That's the thing you don't understand about the Houston Chronicle. They don't do real dirt digging. They do political smears and character assassinations to promote a left wing agenda. Their hatred of Tom DeLay is legendary in the Houston area. They've run an editorial condemning him every two or three weeks for the last three years. None of it has any substance to it. None of it contains any real dirt on DeLay. It's all the same old story - "Tom DeLay's a right wing conservative christian extremist who hates light rail and progress." They've been alleging that it has to do with some tie he has to highway contracters for years, but not once have they ever given any specifics. It's all propaganda smear attacks.

"Get the info out and let the public decide. That's the way it works. Fine by me."

Sounds like a great idea, if the "info" is true, and if both sides of an issue are being represented.

Do you pretend there is any chance the Chronicle would publish an opposing viewpoint on this issue?
After reading that memo?

"Light-rail" is just a euphemism for "More Governement Spending" - in case you haven't been paying attention.

You like it because you like trains. But what you either don't realize or don't care about is that the Houston paper wants to shove them down our throats at our expense without fully airing the facts. This is a multi-billion dollar project and the newspaper isn't going to report on the battle--it's going to lead the charge against an opposition that has no newspaper.
