[Vision2020] Vote

[debismith at moscow.com]

No sense in attempting to educate Donovan. His mind is already made up after hearing what 
he wants to hear, and considering how any effort to change his mind has failed in the past.....If 
someone he dislikes reports the sky being blue today, he would offer a refutation and ten 
websites to prove it wrong. If someone who promises Donovan some shiny new cheap toy tells 
him the sky is blue, Donovan runs out and tells everyone else the sky is blue, and his newest 
buddy is the source of all truth. The problem seems to be that Donovan actually believes in  
the ability, and willingness,  to deliver that cheap shiny toy.

My vote goes to Brady. Butch has again and again proved himself to be moved by political 
expediency, money, and cheap thrills. And he's not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. I 
do, however, applaud his opposition to the Patriot Act, even knowing it was a bone thrown to 
those he sees as his backers.

No, Donovan. He ran bulldozers around, through 
and over wetlands to the Boise River and then 
filled them in with backfill. Not only did he not 
have a permit, he would never have been given one 
of he'd applied.
