Aside from the fact that my annual share of the "trough" is probably less than your yearly dry cleaning bills, saying my preferences on issues or candidates is heavily influenced by my position as a government employee is like saying we can't trust your polling results because you are bought and paid for by your clients ....<BR/><BR/>But your apparent sensitivity to this post is what's really worth investigating here. I expressed no candidate preference here; all I did was to point out that Daniel was tossing fairly lightweight stones while residing in his own fairly brittle glass house. In fact, I helped him out by giving him some campaign advice -- convince voters that he will be there to vote their preferences. Daniel is better than the typical Louisiana legislator but not one of the best by any means, and LABI has many more hits than misses on candidate choices and issue preferences, and I wouldn't see their endorsement of him as a great mistake or possibly even as a mistake.<BR/><BR/>But in pointing out that Daniel missed some controversial votes before and after switching to the GOP and then criticizes an opponent of the same party for supporting somebody of the different party Daniel himself was in at the time, prompts you to direct a response that concentrates on me while avoiding that real issue.
