I agree completely. There's nothing wrong with anyone posting their personal political views on here, and running for Driver Council doesn't have anything to do with that. My issue here is not personal opinions, as I welcome that, encourage it.
My issue is the clear demonstration of a lack of critical thinking and the ability to look at the issues without making snap illusory correlations which draw emotional conclusions.
'Bush takes office, the price of oil goes up, Bush is about to leave office, the price of oil goes down... these two oil men have made billions off the people of the USA...'
That's the liberal slant straight out of the
How To Be A Good Liberal handbook, and when questioned on it he came right back with a laundry list of quotes from Web sites with blatant liberal agendas and proceeded to allege that Bush got his cut of the Exxon profits.
Sorry, Bruno, but that's not,
"I may have went over board on Bush a little," it's a lot overboard. Blaming Bush for the world price of oil, and then claiming that he actually made billions from it, is not even political thinking, it's ignorance personified. It's left-wing wacko radical propaganda regurgitated without thought.
You claim, seemingly often and conspicuously, that you are a Republican, and that you are upset that McCain lost. So like any good Republican, you show your disappointment by spreading lies, half-truths and misinformation about the current highest ranking Republican. Got it. The problem is, everything you post with regard to political issues scream liberal Democrat, except when you claim to be a Republican.
As a candidate for Driver Council, I could care less if you are Republican, Democrat, or a third party. What I do care about is consistency and honesty, and the ability to look at an issue objectively and intelligently. I'm not seeing that here. Couple that with the fact that I personally don't believe you have been with Panther long enough to know the intimate details of their system and the problems therein, much less the intimate details of the problems and their solutions that the Driver Council is faced with in bringing these to the table, I have issues with you being qualified for The Council. Then again, I realize that time-of-service will no longer be an issue 6 months from now, certainly a year from now, and that this particular issue in a rather minor one in the long run.
Granted, considering the manner in which Panther management has addressed the Action Items List over these last two years, Tickle-Me Elmo may be the most qualified for the job.
Hey, you wanna campaign on these boards, you take the good with the bad.
I am Turtle, and I approved this message.
