[Vision2020] What is Jeff talking about? (was something else)

[Joe Campbell]

Jeff,

I wanted to run for election but I didn't. Why? I'm unable to get into it with 
attack dogs like Crabtree. I might run one day but right now I'm not ready.

Likewise, you are not ready to be treasurer for a campaign.

I asked you an honest question: How are you going to keep Moscow from 
smelling (and looking) like Lewiston? This is what you wrote:

After considerable thought, and given the 
constraints in real estate that exist in Moscow 
(no need to preclude businesses that couldn't 
locate in Moscow because there is no room for 
them or they require infrastructure that we don't 
have), heavy manufacturing (large heavy 
equipment, aircraft, large-scale auto) would 
probably not be a good fit.  That said, a custom 
manufacturer - say manufacturing small hybrid 
cars, wind turbines, solar energy systems, ATV's, 
bicycles, garden power tools, farm implements to 
serve Palouse farming specifically could fit very 
nicely.

This is not an answer to the question. It was an answer to some other 
question but not this one. I asked the question again and you just repeated it.

Telling me that certain businesses won't fit doesn't answer it. Your laze faire 
economic views won't allow you to prevent it from happening either. Why not 
just move to Lewiston instead of moving Lewiston here?

You can say what you want about me but my name is not on any candidate's 
sign. And if you are going to continue to evade questions and respond in a 
condescending manner -- making fun of people's occupations (the oft noted 
"angles dancing on pins" comment about the topic of LOGIC no less) -- when 
voters are trying to find out information about your candidate. 

If Krauss does not fire you, then clearly he must think that this is a fine way 
to do politics: Respond nicely to the folks you like and flip the liberals and 
academics off. This is a bad campaign strategy!

I will not vote for Krauss in part because you are his treasurer, his 
spokesman and you seem unable to speak nicely or in an informed way to 
anyone who does not share your opinion.

This is exactly one of the fears of the GMA that I expressed in my town crier.

Joe,

Yes, it is a busy time of year.

Unusual post.  Perhaps in your own words - you close with a 
fallacious argument.

Good night Joe
