Attacking Mr. Brown as a buffoon does no one honor, particularly ‘liberals’ who claim to hold the high ground. If the man has actually been recorded saying or doing the things mentioned above, fine, it’s fair game; but if this is just a gratuitous attack on a conservative opponent Mr. McFadden finds objectionable, then it is distasteful at best. It will simply harden the convictions of those who already support the man without opening any minds or hearts to actual reasons or comments that could show why Mr. Brown is a person against whom one should vote if his opponent, like most Democrats, is simply the lesser of two evils.It would be good for Americans to have candidates to vote for, but as long as big money, on both sides of our limited political choices, and the media are choosing our candidates, we will rarely have people for whom we can vote with pride and conviction, and must therefore vote for the candidate who will do the least harm.Until we, the People, involve ourselves more deeply into our selection and election process, we are doomed to having candidates that represent the least common denominator rather than the greatest common factor.Respectfully,C.
