Anonymity Equals Cowardice By GOP Senator
Why would a Senator give an interview about his party and request anonymity? Why the heck would Roger Simon of Politico give that anonymity? Simon just wants a story, with little nod to ethics. The GOP Senator, however, uses the anonymity to hide contradictory statements and also his evident wish that Obama and our country fail.

1. What's the difference between that and off the record remarks that are not attributed?

2. It's local, too : "Dane County's secret GOP chair"
Edited on Tue Nov-25-08 12:12 PM by I_Will

"...Richardson, the group's spokesman, told Isthmus the chair's name, but asked that it not be used. Other media were asked not to photograph or quote anyone without permission, expressly to prevent the negative consequences that could ensue from being exposed as a Republican. "

5. They are trying to keep the name of the GOP chair in Dane County Wisconsin secret?
How can they do that?

It is really stupid!! It doesn't help their cause if they are scared that they will say something stupid and don't have the balls to stand up and be proud of their organization. I know that is a laugh for them to be proud.

6. The media should make a point of pointing out each time that he refuses to be named
and photographed.

8. Now, I take issue with that!
We here in Dane County, home of Madison, the paradise of the Midwest, don't have any real problems with Republicans....

...as long as they keep to themselves and don't advertise the fact that they are completely wrongheaded. They can be as ignorant as they want -- in their own homes where nobody can see them doing it.

:evilgrin:
