Reply #18: "your ethics suck"

[welshTerrier2]

you're inferring something i never implied ... read my first post again ... i understand you want to argue that my position is that Democrats should adhere 100% to the platform and never stray ... that is not what i am saying at all ... i'm not implying it and it is NOT my position ... it is not what i wrote and it is not what i think ...

the "your ethics suck" needs to be viewed in the context of what i wrote ... what i wrote was "playing along" with the script from the BP ... here's exactly the context i was referencing with the "ethics" remark:

i'm a little concerned about all that money you raked in from the auto industry and that you've squashed anything that has to do with mass transit initiatives ... i'm more than a little uncomfortable that you just voted to indemnify the auto industry from lawsuits that can no longer be filed when someone is injured due to manufacturer negligence ... they build unsafe cars and you let them off the hook ... and then they "help you out a little" ...

the BP made its point using a fictitious candidate ... so did I ... but the point I was making was that even the 83% "good guy" rating in the BP needed to be questioned because most elected officials, including Democrats, do not have an adequate dialog with their constituents ... how can they claim any rating when they really have know idea what most people think on the issues ... the argument I was making was NOT a requirement to have 100% (or any specific %) of adherence to the party platform ... my point was that most elected officials are out of touch with people in their districts ...

i don't know what else i can say to convince you that you are not reading my post as I intended it ...

and you still haven't responded to the main points in my post:

1. corporate ties of political candidates and the influence of big money in the political process
2. indemnifying industry against lawsuits
3. the importance of better communication with constituents.

that's what all my posts in this thread are about ...
