[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh wow! Someone on AEM just threw it down on the whole "poor Symone" narrative. It's kind of classic, actually. It really takes down the whole argument, quoting an Office of Special Counsel opinion from 2009 pretty much describing this situation and how it's not permissible. How can Symone's campaign really claim that this is a newfound and more conservative interpretation of the Hatch Act? As if THIS administration takes a more conservative view of any ethics law![/quote]

Go Honora! Hopefully this will put this issue to bed once and for all. And hopefully folks will see that Symone must have had her head in the sand if she really thought participating in the caucus didn't violate the Hatch Act. I'm still guessing that she did know, but was arrogant enough to think no one would call her on it because she's a POC and a woman. And WTF is with her agency's ethics office that they didn't know this either, unless Symone gave them an inaccurate description of the actual caucus process. Anyway too many issues to stay stuck on this one. [/quote]

I'm not sure prose vomit with zero paragraphs (Honora, not either of the PPs) is the best way to convince people your a deep and rational thinker, but I also can't imagine that anyone doesn't have an opinion on Symone yet, either.

I wasn't going to vote for Terron, but every time his supporters pipe up, I feel so much [that German word for feeling embarrassed on someone else's behalf]. His wife, especially, isn't doing him any favors. It's like your mom thinking you're great. [/quote]

While I agree that the FB post was a little hard to read and follow, once I reread it (a few times!), it seems clear that Symone messed up and that the law (and her inability to follow a well established legal position) caused her caucus problems, not anyone else. So I don’t understand why she’s blaming another candidate for her own legal and candidate shortcomings. Even if Terron was the one who reported her, which I don’t think I’ll believe until I hear it from OSC. I don’t know his wife, though. What is she doing? Something beyond what I expect a supportive partner would do?[/quote]
