You cite here one instance of Gerry running as an Indy. Your language and tone in the video clearly intend to portray that one choice as something negative, a reason to vote against Gerry. I've switched parties, too -- is that a reason not to vote for me for office?<br /><br />Please don't hide behind language like "just stating the facts." You are stating facts, but you are also saying, "These facts are why a vote for Lange is bad and a vote for me is good." That's a rhetorical attack. That's not a bad thing; that's what a campaigner does. Just own it for what it is. <br /><br />And I still question whether someone serving mostly in retirement as a part-time legislator and deriving the majority of his income from other activities can be said to be making a "career" out of politics.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-4259754464387867022010-08-19T14:51:27.875-06:002010-08-19T14:51:27.875-06:00Lange started his political career as a Democrat, ...Lange started his political career as a Democrat, later ran on the Independent ticket, then in 2008 had switched back to Democrat....."continuely switching political parties." <br /><br />Not necessarily a negative "ATTACK" but stating the facts. <br /><br />As far as South Dakota goes, beginning in your fifties and still going in your eighties, pretty much defines a career politican. <br /><br />www.votestricherz2010.com<br /><br />Cordially yours,<br /><br />Patricia StricherzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-18114268404691851822010-08-19T07:59:38.734-06:002010-08-19T07:59:38.734-06:00Cory,
It is your atheist leanings. :)
A since...Cory,<br /><br />It is your atheist leanings. :) <br /><br />A sincere and devout Christian is called to take major decisions to prayer. <br /><br />Just because she received peace in contemplation of the decision, doesn't necessarily translate in God endorsing her as a candidate as much as an endorsement of the fruits that will come out of it. Maybe those fruits will be her victory, maybe it will be her articulation of the issues, maybe it will be in her defeat, and maybe it will be he desires the change that will occur in her as a person.<br /><br />All she is saying she considered this decision so serious she took it to prayer and received peace in this decision. Christians then trust God to do with the decision what He wills.Troy Jonesnoreply@blogger.com
