“Showdown for those who show up” is an amazing article that encourages people to show up to the debate tonight. However, I would be far more moved and probably agree more outwardly if the writer of the editorial would have provided his/her name. To state your opinions is your right, but when you don’t feel your words are worthy enough of your signature…do you expect me too?
Moving on from the lack of ownership, this article brings up the fact that Governor Perry will not be gracing people with his presence at the debate tonight. Apparently this is punishment to Bill White for not making his tax returns in the 90’s public. I take this as a slap in the face from our Governor. He feels like this is “in the bag” and doesn’t have to make points to us, he is in turn making a point to White. This is the way he has ran office from the get go so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
The writer of this editorial has great points and also walks the blame line equally. She/He gives points of Governor Perry not showing up and doesn’t come across as overly democrat or republican. I do have a credibility issue with the writer considering I can’t find an author. I feel that the audience this speaks to is well versed. You have the younger crowd who wants to be more involved and know all the facts as well as the older genre that may be straighter laced and have their minds made up.
I do find the comments on the post amusing. Some people are so quick to show their anger about this editorial because it speaks ill of Governor Perry. My opinion is maybe he could explain himself….if he would show up for the debate.
