[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I am not going to allow links to the Google doc to which some posters have linked. We generally do not allow anonymous criticism of non-public figures by name unless the poster also identifies themselves. The document in question mentions several non-public figures and is being circulated by someone using the pseudonym "Deep Throat". If Mr. or Ms. Throat would like to identify themselves, posters will be free to link to the document. But, short of that, I will remove any such links.

I'd encourage Mr. or Ms. Throat to identify themselves too but I think it's relevant, and I wouldn't characterize the board members of an org that is one candidate's brainchild (Miranda is literally a founder) as "non-public figures," especially when one of them is her campaign manager and they're all public tweets and quotes from APE's website. It raises some very valid character issues. I for one found it shocking. I mean I knew there were some strange bedfellows with Miranda, but it seems like her whole universe is Rs with really out-of-the-mainstream ideas.

I'd suggest a review of the matter since I feel it's more than fair game but I guess all I'll say is people can look for themselves if interested on Twitter @/protectarled but not linking anything without your say so, message received.[/quote]

I suspect you know exactly who set up that Twitter because it’s you. Even if everything on there was true (and it is not), none of it is anything Miranda Turner said or did. It’s all slimy insinuations and smears that are very tenuously linked to the actual candidate. [/quote]

No some of it was exactly what Miranda said/did. It was the positions APE took when she led APE. That is her record and it is relevant to this campaign. Maybe Mr./Ms. Throat could repost that part. It shouldn't be controversial.

Agree that her husband's political views are not relevant. I still think the public statements made by the APE board members and Miranda's campaign manager are fair game. They put them out there, why can't we talk about them? [/quote]

Interesting. I haven't heard anything about her husband's political views. Is she married to a Trumper? If so, that shows questionable judgment.

LOL. You think everyone knows how their future spouse's political views are going to evolve over the years? Or do you expect MT and others to divorce their spouses because they came to support Trump? People's views do change over time. I'd say my spouse was more conservative when we met and married (certainly more than I); but they have become more liberal as they've aged and experienced this social environment. Does that mean my judgement is questionable?  I suspect not. I suspect it only works in the other direction, when the spouse becomes too conservative.[/quote]

"Being conservative" in 2023 means something different than it did 10-20 years ago.

It's a major character flaw. I can't imagine being married to someone who actually believes all of that nonsense.
