Is it Safe to Be on This Site ?

I've had a real good time the last few weeks getting to meet some of the candidates on the road. Lots of candidates find this a great way to get their messages out, and we are glad to oblige. But , we have gotten word that not everyone thinks SC6 is such a hot spot for a candidate who cares about their image.

No, we don't claim to be the world's authority on everything, but if you really READ the blog and the topics we cover, and the solutions we suggest, we aren't the Kook Patrol that some might think, or suggest to others... Most of the time - even when we do it in a stupid way - we have a real message behind it. It's the shock factor that kicks the butt of those for who it's intended. Also please note, just because you have an 'R' behind your name, doesn't give you a free pass on SC6. Some of you need to be picked on....

Secondly, we don't mind policy criticism here, especially if it is the topic of the post. However, just because I have a picture of someone on the blog, don't take it as a free pass to attack them. I don't use comment moderation because it's a pain in the ass - please don't give me a reason to have to go that way. I have been lucky enough to have politicians allow me to take their pictures for the blog , but if they're going to think that it makes them a target, they will start refusing... And , of course, if you don't have the guts to use your name, you might need to go elsewhere.

Thanks for playing. Maybe being on SC6 isn't the greatest kudo for a candidate, but a lot of them get it, and like it. I've been in the pit longer than a lot of the people running, and they all find out in the long run that maybe I'm not such an idiot after all....
