I understand, both your explanation and the reasons for what you said in the first place.<BR/><BR/>The comment will stay up, but I'm going to give the whole 'no anonymous comments' thing a try for a while to see how it works out.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338682971485143332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23717700.post-6359172303355644992007-08-13T12:28:00.000-07:002007-08-13T12:28:00.000-07:00Apologies!!The release was a broadly sent out pres...Apologies!!<BR/>The release was a broadly sent out press release by ConsideredAction.Org.<BR/>Regretably the username was not clear.<BR/>The "Quote" was in fact from me, a staunch Democratic supporter.<BR/>The "source" refered to is a former high ranking Mitchell campaign official, and a similar quote was given to us by a high ranking AZ Democratic Party official.<BR/><BR/>We are actively campaigning to have our elected Democrats remember and respect the base that elected them - and our most important concerns - rather than voting on key issues with the Republican majority on issues such as the Iraq war, and the eviseration of our constitutional rights via the FISA act.<BR/><BR/>We are taking these issues public and are currently running radio, television and newsprint ads.<BR/><BR/>If the release reads like a Republican piece, it was perhaps because Harry has voted like a Republican on Iraq funding and warrentless wiretaps (against the large Democratic majority)and with the Republicans.<BR/><BR/>Ironically, the Republicans probably love his record and view him as an friend. He certainly has shown no willingness to press President Bush on the key issues of our times.<BR/><BR/>Apologies for the misunderstanding, but as you can see we are right out there, up front, and wide open about our actions and material.<BR/><BR/>We are strong, loyal Democrats who are gravely disappointed by the actions of officials we fought so hard to have elected - only to see them abandon and ignore the mandate they were so glearly given in their election.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jonathan R Read<BR/>Chairman,<BR/>ConsideredAction.orgJRREADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02780908043709687298noreply@blogger.com
