OMG: HE said: "I am sworn to represent your well being before the city of Pittsburgh."

Really good question. Some of these...Good question. Really good question. <BR/><BR/>Some of these answers from some of the others need to see the light of day. One, for what they are. Next, for the sake of Pittsburgh and our community.<BR/><BR/>I get to pick, a bit, as to what I blog about because I want to make a sustained conversation that goes to the roots of our troubles. <BR/><BR/>If this race is just about picking a candidate and LESS or NOT about making a reversal in the FLOW of things around here -- we are going to stay in the deep mess that they have put us into. <BR/><BR/>A lot of the fuel for change comes from those who want a change -- but can't see what in the world is going on now. Blind change isn't going to cut it. Bold change that hugs us to death isn't going to cut it either. <BR/><BR/>We need to be sure that the right solutions come out on top in the end. And, as we come to those realizations and decisions, we'll need to have a significant backing to push with me on those fronts for real change once I'm elected.<BR/><BR/>My message is different and the contrasts need to be put out there for others to read and witness.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, these candidate events and the replies being put out there need to be viewed by the others from around the region. The assembled audiences are often just the friends and family of the candidates. We need to take this political discussion to a greater audience -- such as with the internet. <BR/><BR/>My supporters have kids to raise, parents to care for, jobs and studies.... Many can't come out to a dozen debates, naturally.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-1138681993562274782006-01-30T23:33:00.000-05:002006-01-30T23:33:00.000-05:00My Man Mark,Why on Earth are you giving Bruce A. K...My Man Mark,<BR/><BR/>Why on Earth are you giving Bruce A. Krause ANY publicity?<BR/><BR/>I don't remember which is which: one is a Chamber guy and the other is a leftist guy who constantly showed up on the old Doug Hoerth "Doug and the Group." I sat in with him on one of those shows and was utterly and completely unimpressed with his grasp of Patriotism, or politics as a whole.<BR/><BR/>At this point, I don't remember which is which.<BR/><BR/>AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN THIS RACE SHOULDN'T BE REMINDED THAT THEY'RE EVEN IN IT!!!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Especially the leftist paper hanger!<BR/><BR/>TLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
