I'll admit I don't know much about Towne or PokerFace, but what I've heard so far is not enough to make me believe Towne is anti-Semitic.<br /><br />We all know that Charlie Dent doesn't want Towne in the debate and Callahan wants him there because he sees Towne hurting Dent. I get that.<br /><br />But I cannot accept any public official, politician, or political party trying to bully third-party candidates out of debates. That's wrong. The only criteria for debate participation should be whether the candidate qualifies to be on the ballot.<br /><br />That some would make an allegation of anti-Semitism for political purposes is also wrong. It is the politics of personal destruction that keep so many people away from running for office and turn off so many voters.<br /><br />I am a super-voting Republican and Charlie Dent has lost my vote over this. There is no way I'll vote for Towne or Callahan, but I expected more out of Charlie.<br /><br />I'm sure some will charge that I am a Callahan plant and chide me for not signing my name. But I have no need to be personally attacked by those wishing to defend the tactics being used in this race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
