The Ads against Gene Seaman...

...are excellent examples of agendism, spin and half-truthery.

Purely progoganda...I''m sickened by them more for their blatant ""politicalization"" than the message they wish to give.

The one I have seen...that mentions Delay, neither tells you who to vote for nor who paid for the message (at least plainly visible.) The play on words he gives and allegation he is a ""woman hater"" are taken out of context. They are things a person...any threadster here, might say as a pun.

Gene''s ads seem to build on his accomplishments.

Gene is in a tight spot...to respond negatively is to drop down below his established ""standards."" But not to respond at all is equally damaging.

And what?

While I do not know the intent behind this thread...

Yes, the adds are examples of "excellent examples of agendism, spin and half-truthery."

I take neither side in this debate and hold a great deal of respect for both Juan Garcia and Gene Seaman and, thus, I am an objective observer of the tactics, methods and strats of this campaign.

I have always hated agendism and the foul stench of what "politics" has/is become.

There is also. now, a commercial from the other side connecting Juan Garcia to attorneys and calling him a "Liberal," in a pejorative manner.

Agendism is bad no matter who does it. Let truths come out on the news...and people inform themselves based on presented facts. There is no need to resort to such bias and inuendo where and when it is of a questionable nature.

Juan Garcia is a gifted aviator and proven leader in the Armed Forces poised for a bright future. Gene Seaman is a proven legislator and has had a meteoric rise from humble origins.

Yet, one would never know any of that from the AGENDISTIC ADS.

What to do...eh? It would seem that such tactics are the nature of the beast (politics). I will say again... "to respond negatively is to drop down below established standards. But not to respond at all is equally damaging."

A Litmus Test for JUANA B Garcia......
Posted on October 17, 2006 at 01:48:29 AM by Jaime Kenedeño

Is he pro life or pro choice?

He has yet to personally answer that question.

Is he related to Richard Borchard?

How is he affiliated with Richard Borchard?

BTW, his campaign manager (Joe Hall) is a registered Republican.

That's it?..that's your "litmus test" for candidates for State Rep.? Whether they're "pro-life" or "pro-choice"?..and whether they're related to Richard Borchard?

Do you really want a politician's views on abortion to determine what everyone else's should be? That's an issue that should be left up to the individual to decide,not politicians.It has no place in the political arena,although both sides keep trying valiantly to put it there.It's been used as a political football for FAR too long..as a wedge to divide us,and it's time we took it out of the hands of politicians.Do you contemplate having an abortion in the near future?..if not why would you base your vote on the issue?

The "Richard Borchard" test is just plain stupid.Who freakin' cares who Borchard supports or doesn't?..that's "chisme" politics,and as such,completely irrelevant.Only an idiot would base his/her vote on who Borchard or anyone else supports.

Try looking at the candidates through your own eyes,not someone else's.Sit down and think about what's important to YOU..what YOU think the issues are and should be,not what someone else TELLS you they are,then ask the candidates where they stand on what's important to YOU,your family,your livlihood,your community..I guarantee you Borchard did.

Think for yourself,Jaime..decide what's best for you and yours and quit worrying about who somebody else supports or doesn't.I promise you..you'll be much more comfortable with your decisions,win or lose.
