Scott Persons: Of course most of us are not surprised at all that a leader of STRIDE is connected to raucous caucus. (snip) Now that we've established the STRIDE/cowardscaucus connection...
David Piehl writes: OK, first of all, when somebody starts out by stating "most of us", it sets off the BS detector. Second of all, just because the same cartoonist is involved with the STRIDE and Raucous Caucus websites doesn't make them linked. The cartoonist in question also does material for PULSE and other publications; is it a vast conspiracy? Not so long ago, Scott talked about the various organizations he's involved with; does that make them linked? Many STRIDE members were/are members of the PAC; does that make STRIDE and the PAC linked? I even got the ridiculous "certificate of appreciation" for involvement with the Access Project! I am involved with STRIDE, but have no involvement with Raucous Caucus whatsoever, other than the laughs I get from occasional visits to the site. If I were involved, I'd be happy to take credit for it - the stuff they've put together is really funny! Unfortunately, I don't have time for that kind of fun with corrupt boondoogles like the Excess Project fleecing our city, state, county and country receiving the approval of a vocal minority of residents and political leaders. Scott's accusations are sounding more and more like a witch hunt; think about it, although there is no link, why would it matter if there were?? I think it's just another attempt to impune STRIDE's increasingly effective strategy because STRIDE represents real interference for a boondoogle project containing precious few benefits for the area. STRIDE is nobody's lapdog. David Piehl Central STRIDE member __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
