This is getting complex for my feeble mind. You vote Republican, and possibly make a difference in removing a grotesque, anachronistic embarassment representing district and state in Washington, only to replace him with someone who’ll vote similarly on issues. Or, vote Democratic and possibly make a difference making sure either a messiah-like orator of murky but very suspicious influences and leanings, or a woman of unmurky socialistic ideology and a greater shot at the Presidency is denied in the Fall. AND, I could help make sure a Democratic governor is not from an industry which will assure us of continued abuse in over-facilitization. Decisions…Decisions…

Kurt…Ballard’s campaign was won by an unendorsed negative grassroots campaign. Negative works best when the candidate’s hands never get dirty.

I didn’t drop cheap innuendos. I asked questions based on hunches that I was pretty sure about, then I checked my facts. Isn’t that how you do it? Ask questions-get the facts? It’s pretty obvious that they stole that shot of Long Thompson, and that ain’t right, no matter how you spin it.

Just think how much farther ahead we’d have been if you’d done that in the first place instead of dropping cheap innuendos!

OK John Howard, I’ll “put up.” I did the research and I know FOR A FACT that Schellinger’s campaign DID NOT go to the originator of that footage and: 1. ask to use it and 2. pay for it. And yes, the 500 footage was stock footage that was paid for. So what does that mean John? As you said above, there is impropriety, actually way more than a mere impropreity, laws were broken. And it is NOT SPECULATION, it is the “truth firsthand.” Do we want a Governor that will break laws to get what his ego demands? I think not!

“Does it really matter” that anyone *speculates* about it! As they say, put up or shut up. But it’s easier to suggest impropriety than it is to find out the truth firsthand.

Political candidates have been using each others’ photos forever.

Does plagiarism or copyright infringement matter? It is a legal and ethical question, OF COURSE IT MATTERS!!

Mr. Howard asks the brilliant question.

And now for a (hopefully) equally-smart answer: no.

Does it really matter?
