voter the issues before them. there s been an effort to cloud it with things from the past that are petty issues. their aren t things that have anything to do with where we are as a state. our state has 40% of its economy that s dependent on the federal dollar, yet the federal government is headed toward bankruptcy. as long as we tong about petty issuess or a reporter who assaulted somebody, we re not getting at fair issues. a fair issue to make is can i trust smbd i m going to send to washington for six years to deal with these consequenceal issues, and the question he waw trying to ask is were you ever disciplined for improperly using taxpayer computers for political purposes? he asked if i was ever threatened with termination, i said no. that s the truth. that was the answer we gave him.
