yep. System never let's me rep my own posts either
You would probably try that, but I've never tried it. Sorry it distresses you so much that someone agrees with me. Earlier I was accused of being sanrene, and now teatime.
When it comes to making decisions that impact government, yes I believe the public does have a right to know. These people work for ME, YOU, and the rest of America. She has preached transparency in government and yet is conducting government business under the radar. You obviously have no problem with that, I'm certainly not going to change your mind.
Of course I have a problem with it. If every musing was made public, how would anything get DONE? Do you even THINK these things through?
OK, every musing and consideration is made known. So, everyone knows that the governor is considering a certain action. The lobbyists jump into action; protests start; people start spreading rumors and begin campaigns to try to sway all of the players to their POV. Good people are trashed and hurt. Relationships are torn apart. Nothing gets done.
All because the governor was CONSIDERING an action in its preliminary stages. How on Earth could a government function that way?
Does Obama share all of his ideas about political rivals and strategy with the public? Since this is apparently so important to you, then why aren't you demanding it of him????
I would only demand that all politicians, including Obama, not circumvent the law this way.

Don't worry. I fully understand, as space aliens, republicans are peas in an (alien) pod.
Her personal email is hacked and she is circumventing the law. Yeah, right!
I don't care to convince you. She was using her yahoo account for government business so that it could never be subpoaened. The Bush White House does the same. I think that's wrong. You can use moral relativism all you want.

You are completely missing the point, I really don't think you are that daft but maybe I'm wrong. The point is not that government officials instantly make all communications public, but that they are stored on GOVERNMENT servers to be recalled and inspected if needed. ALSO to protect any sensitive information that might be in the "consideration" stages. You don't mind being kept in the dark and if that's what works for you then God Bless.

I don't really think that was the reason she was using it, SINCE THERE WAS REALLY NOTHING IN THERE THAT AMOUNTED TO ANYTHING.
The Bush White House does the same? Uh...where is your proof of that? Never heard of that. This sort of attitude "it's okay if it was a Democrat kid" is ridiculous. You people think it's okay that the kid hacked her email. If it were a Republican's son hacking Obama's emajl you'd be calling for his head on a platter. HYPOCRITS!
