I am sensing a trend here. And it crosses both sides of the political "aisle" so I can't complain right? That is what a political pundit or even an "activist" journalist might say. But I am not beholden to partisan co-workers or corporate advertisers while writing. I am appalled at the state of our democracy and how candidates for US Congress can choose to beg for money but not state where they stand on issues.
My initial statement on this issue was Jackie Speier, whose supporters have attacked me for blogging about their most worthy candidate because she begged me for money for months. When you beg for money you should state your issues. Some of what her website now states as her issues were taken from e-mails I sent her, and that is fine with me. ( In example energy is a national security issue. )
Speir fans should take note, she has a photo of soldiers wearing DCUs on your website. Those have been out of commission since 2005, maybe you haven't heard about ACUs, but that is what the ARMY wears now.
But her thoughts on Iraq are like Hillary Clinton's: fund the war indefinitely and end the war someday over the rainbow.Now we have a Republican running against John Kerry in Massachusetts for US Senate. He has no issues page at all. The Speier fans went into a frenzy claiming I couldn't justify saying she was a non-issue candidate because she now has issue statement. Well, she didn't for 3 months while she badgered me for money. Now Mr. Ogonowski is begging and has no issues page at all. Unlike Ms. Speier who had one but each page stated a synonym of "coming soon. " At least she tried.
Mr. Ogonowski makes a cheap flash movie on John Kerry and tests its fund-raising ability. Nice way to run a campaign! So what do you stand for again? Oh, whoever gives you the most money can decide. Very Major-Party-like of you.
So to "prove" that he has no issues, I have taken an image of his website and will post it here. At least we know that West Coast Democrats and East Coast Republicans have something in common: they want money and power and won't let the public truly know how they will use it. And immigrants think America is less corrupt than their homeland!

Sir,
Jim Ogonowski says nothing because he stands for nothing. He has a REAL Republican Opponent
www.jeffbeatty.com you will not hear about Jeff BEATTY. Because the MAGOP is pushing and supporting
Ogonowski is a vicious “Behind the scenes” effort to get him on the ballot…Here is what we do know,
Jim is pro choice, as long as the polls indicate he should be…Jim is against the war, as long as the polls say he should be and insulted our President as the polls dictated that is the way he should be. Jim supports Cape Wind project, despite the company not releasing one statistic on cost for their energy or environmental impact, because the polls say it is good.
Jim ran against another novice Nicki Tsongas and lost by 5 points..In Ma. the current leadership of this party thinks a five point loss was a victory! Jim won’t debate Jeff. Jim went as far as to say he won’t be at the same venue as Jeff . He is not a Republican and is a very pathetic excuse for a politician and laughable as a Republican.. The MAGOP is helping with signatures and sending “big time” former Hack politicians out to collect on his behalf.. Yet they still cannot compete with Beatty! Our former Lt. Gov is supporting and has endorsed Jim…this is the same person that conceded defeat 10 minutes after the polls closed in 2006, to a man who did not run for anything, and said nothing!
