Interestingly enough, all four of the candidates often did not answer the questions asked. Moreover, neither Willie Mae nor even more so Kathy had clear programs for the problems posed. I would like to hear much more substantive debate with time for details for the two senatorial candidates.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703913.post-69257320978637418142008-09-06T13:32:00.000-04:002008-09-06T13:32:00.000-04:00Fantastic post... thanks for attending the forum a...Fantastic post... thanks for attending the forum and for reporting on it.<BR/><BR/>I live in Willie Mae's district and am a big supporter of her. Her stance on the marriage equality issue was a breath of fresh air for our neighborhood following the years we spent under Shirley Owens Hicks.<BR/><BR/>There were two comments from the challenger during the debates that I thought were particularly telling on her conservative views that I'll share:<BR/><BR/>"If there isn't a man and a woman in every family's house there will be chaos in the streets." <BR/><BR/>(Which seemed to me to be a coded reference to marriage equality) and...<BR/><BR/>on the question of how she would address the high number of foreclosures in the district she said...<BR/><BR/>"I would work with banks to make sure that people could extend their mortgage payments so they could have 40 or 50 year mortgages so their payments would be cheaper."<BR/><BR/>Um. Wow. Sounds like the Rent-a-Center approach to home ownership. Not exactly what the district needs.Cubiclegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977148451747314421noreply@blogger.com
