I guess the thing that stuns me is that a person with your experience should understand that. You KNOW how transparent any campaign must be.

Thanks for your entire post, polly..........but especially this statement.

Why EV, with his experience should be defending closed books, is puzzling...........and part of the reason I believe he has changed.

It makes absolutely no sense from a conservative political action perspective to defend financial secrecy in an effort this major and this important. One would think that those of us who value what the MM have done would ALL support complete financial disclosure.

I think this thread has become far too personal, Ohio and that is what is driving all of us to distraction. We are all licking our wounds and feeling frustrated.

We've got to let everyone out of their respective corners and work together. This is NOT about personalities, Dees, Simcox, ABC, whomever.

It simply about transparency. We are asking for financial transparency. If we can not be accountable to ourselves, how can we possibly be accountable to others?

When that task is accomplished, I think things will calm down. It scares the crud out of me that an innocent person may have invested their life savings in this and we don't know where the heck that money went. That is damned irresponsible.

Why has all of this led you to begin lying?

Can you show me where I "defended closed books"?

Simcox is accountable to the IRS and the FEC.

His attackers have shown nothing that proves that the man is remiss in that responsibility.

Your aspersions, cast in concert with the Minutemen's mortal Leftwing enemies, have done nothing to prove anything except that your loyalties to the current administration are more important to you than any scruples about participating in Clinton-style attack politics of personal destruction.

You're being completely dishonest, now. If anyone here has "changed", it is YOU.
