No Fred, Stonewall DFL never "stated" that -- but you & others
have repeatedly done so on this forum and other places. Stonewall has
never said anything about any candidates except the ones we found
acceptable or endorsed. Like good little children, we do as our mothers
taught us: "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all".
The only accurate statement about these other candidates is that
they failed to convince a simple majority (50%+1) to vote to find them
"acceptable". I doubt that you, me, or anyone else can divine precisely
what was in the minds of these dozens of members as they each marked their
individual ballot.
