Just for the record …
The guest column from our District 72 state representative Ed Clere that appears today in the Tribune is precisely the same one disbursed as his e-mail newsletter, which arrived to me as being sent by “Indiana House Republicans,” which I take as the stamp of party officialdom’s approval.
One essay is a guest column, and the other — exactly the same piece — implies it is an official party communication. Well, which is it? I’m just curious.
It seems to me that if the local Democratic Party chose to pay attention (Hello? Is there a pulse?), they’d be encouraging the newspaper to give them equal time, given that Rep. Clere’s column/GOP communique is obviously partisan.
What was that about a pulse? I suppose it is obscured by the clamor of the local “Democrat” party’s persistent McCain/Palin wing, which might also explain a recurring platform deficiency.
Just nod if you can hear me, guys.
