So far there have been only three responses to my
posting "Rybak takes the high road". One indicated
a need for a remedial reading refresher in that it referred
to noncomments of mine. What was left were rebuttals
about the Sierra Club, re: "Also, Mayor Rybak has been
endorsed by the Sierra Club." (William Kahn's posting
refreshingly lacked sarcasm.) I don't believe that any
response actually took issue with the remainder of
my posting:
The opposition campaign against Mayor Rybak might
appear to have been influenced by Bush/Cheney
campaign strategy:
- false inferences through a second party with
disclaimers that exempt their candidate from
responsibility for the content
- derogatory, incorrect information about
security (crime) matters
- flip-flop accusations
Indeed, during last nights televised debate summations,
Rybak's opponent seemed to be pandering to Republican
voters by blaming Rybak for problems that have obviously
been caused by Bush and Pawlenty.
One of the reasons that R. T. Rybak will get my vote
is that he has taken the high road with his campaign
strategy. If I can trust him to campaign fairly, I feel
that I can trust him as mayor.
I hope that fellow progressives who identify with
nontraditional political parties will rally with me
behind all candidates who want honest government
and want to put the people's interests before special
interests.
