One of the biggest, most serious issues for our party...trusted bloggers. [View All]

Ones who change their tune when they are hired by one campaign and then another. They have their own blogs, they can do what they want. I mention no names at all.

If you are a well-known blogger, and you need the money...you can get hired on by almost any compaign. That is a right bloggers have. They can disclose or not disclose, some do, some really don't. Some sort of imply, others say nothing.

I found out that someone I respect a lot was banned from a blog for criticizing a candidate the blogger worked for. She simply posted an article from the American Prospect, a pretty trusted site for Democrats. It just pointed out the strong religious bent of this candidate. She was banned, though she did not know the blogger worked for him....never tried to find out...she saw no need to do it.

No names, but the majority are working for the more right-leaning parts of our party. Watch and see, let it go into your brain and open your thinking to it.

Then take your own stands, and keep your own consciences as to how to vote and whom to support.

It will be very hard by next year's election to put things into perspective if you post and read at various blogs. One must tread carefully now on certain candidates, and very carefully on women's rights issues in some areas.

Keep your beliefs and double-check loyalties before falling into the trap of seemingly innocent rhetoric.

And before you criticize a candidate, first determine if the blog master is working for him/her. Caution is wise.
