Pignanelli & Webb: Political questions abound over ethics, redistricting

I supported repealing vouchers, but I do not support these initiatives - too many unintended consequences. I would not be surprised if they don't get the signatures required.

Ah yes, the term limit law; the one they conveniently repealed just before it would have taken effect. But we can trust the legislature this time around, right?

I did not support repealing vouchers. I don't support these two politically motivated initiatives. Let's not start the trend of having an initiative every time we turn around. Let's wait and focus on more substantive initiatives, one that's not part of the obnoxious partisan gripping back and forth.

We need to get both initiatives on the ballot. It is about time that we hold these fat cat Republicans accountable and make them honest. First off we need to vote out the entire Republican Leadership. The Republicans need to stop holding closed primaries. We also need the support of moderate Republicans and conservative Democrats in taking back the Legislature!!

There is no better illustration of Glen Beck's contention that both political parties are largely the same and both relatively corrupt than this weekly collumn. Both of these guys make their living off this group of politicians and the political process they're supposed to be providing us with insight into.

Bring on the initiatives! Let the people vote, then watch our elected officials thwart the public will and throw it back in our faces. One more confirmation of what we're dealing with.

IS it OKAY if you are a FAT CAT and a DEMOCRAT?

IS it okay to be DISHONEST if you are a DEMOCRAT?

DO you think democrats should have a hand picking another parties candidate?

An why do we want a bunch people in charge who have no backbone, no courage to take stand on anything,
to not stand for something, fence-sitters?

Ok Elkman, if you can actually read, please read the initiatives and then come back and comment. An un-informed vote is worse then no vote at all. While you're at it, take a minute and learn how primaries work as well. You and those like you that talk before you think are the problem, not the solution.
