But I'm soft pedaling something?<br /><br />John, this is about the masquerade that Jerry Lewis is putting on to fool people into thinking he would represent their interests.<br /><br />Nothing more, nothing less.<br /><br />I don't buy Lewis' con job. And I sure as heck am not worried about whether you think poorly of me.<br /><br />Steve Muratore aka Arizona Eagletarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404761986345385458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717700.post-1684465228838759312012-10-31T10:39:38.455-07:002012-10-31T10:39:38.455-07:00I have known Ed for six years and have worked with...I have known Ed for six years and have worked with him on some issues. I like him personally but missing 40% of the votes is inexcusable, regardless of the reason.<br /> <br /><br />I just think that your soft pedaling his record speaks poorly of you too.<br /><br />PS It also does not speak well of you to assume that my adding an extra b to his name was intentional and disrespectful. It was a mistake.

The votes he missed apparently did not represent the difference between passage or failure on any bill.<br /><br />Not exactly sure how, "Come on Steve. You are better than that." Relates at all to anything. <br /><br />I get that you don't like Ed Ableser. I SEE that you dislike him so much that you repeatedly, intentionally misspell his name.<br /><br />Are you better than that?<br /><br />I would direct you to http://bible.cc/matthew/7-5.htm<br /><br />As to whether I or anyone is "excusing that kind of record" or anyone else's, I direct you, for perspective to what I wrote and published last night on the subject.<br /><br />http://stevemuratore.blogspot.com/2012/10/hitting-nerve-7-days-until-election-day.html<br /><br />If it's going to be a choice between Ed Ableser and Jerry Lewis, or which is effectively the same as someone who voted to impose an encroaching fascism (Cathi Herrod's directions and guidance) or someone who missed some time in service for what may be very personal reasons, I vote NO on Jerry Lewis.<br /><br />I choose to have Ed Ableser represent me and advocate wholeheartedly for others in MY legislative district to do the same.<br /><br /> Steve Muratore aka Arizona Eagletarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404761986345385458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717700.post-71713006998172122462012-10-30T03:25:37.299-07:002012-10-30T03:25:37.299-07:00I was on two town councils, while I held full-time...I was on two town councils, while I held full-time jobs and had a family with two young kids. I rarely missed votes, much less over 40% of them, like Ablesser. <br /><br />Are you really excusing that kind of record just because you philosophically agree with the person?<br /><br />Come on Steve. You are better than that. He should have resigned, if personal and professional commitments precluded his attendance.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896955780433298549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717700.post-82413567349781376732012-10-30T00:57:07.060-07:002012-10-30T00:57:07.060-07:00Hey John,
