The Wave of the Future
Here is an interesting idea proffered by Republican candidate Art Haddow in House District 31 and embraced by his opponents, Democratic incumbent Larry Wiley and Libertarian Cabot Nelson.
Beginning this weekend, the three will engage in a series of online debates that will avoid all the problems of live, face-to-face debates such as scheduling conflicts.
Haddow says each candidate can respond to a specific set of questions about their stands on key issues. Then voters can pose questions for each of the candidates.
The Cyber-Debate will allow each candidate to take 48 hours to respond to each of the key issue questions. "This format, while innovative, allows voters to actually interact with the candidates who are trying to earn their trust," Haddow said.
The proposed Cyber-Debate will be hosted at www.31stdistrictdebates.com. Each candidate will be provided an opportunity to address five key issues over a 10-day period. Once the 48-hour period ends on each question, the responses of each candidate will be locked and the next issue will be open for debate.
After the conclusion of the key five issue Cyber-Debate elements, each candidate will be provided the opportunity to respond to one voter question submitted to the Web site for each of 10 days. The start date will be October 16th with Education as the first issue. Four other issues, Transportations, Taxation, Job Creation and Economic Development, and Health Care will follow over the next 8 days.
Cheers,

Re: Matheslime support for torture.
Here are a couple of questions that may be worthy of a response from someone in the know:
1. Is it true that methaslime's mother (and utah icon) is the daughter of Maurice Warshaw, the Russian Jewish-american founder of grand central stores and all around successful businessman and good guy? What is their connection to israel?
2. Is it true that Matheslime supports torture because he is half jewish and feels himself to be a member of israeli society? If true, how is it possible that nobody in utah knows that fact?
Look-this is america in 2006 and nobody really care if he is jewish or not, but the fact that the media has kept the public "stupid" on this point seems highly suspicious. How can this not be news when the whole family has been "public" for over thirty years?
Isn't the voter entitled to know of allegiances to foreign powers? Maybe I wrong but I would like to know some facts.
3. How is it possible that the israeli loyalty issue has not come up before with respect to Matheslime? Boy, is our media controlled or what? Remember, I am not even sure he is half jewish. That is just a supposition at this time.
4. What is up with Norma Matheson using the public treasury to deify her departed husband a build a family "dynasty" courtesy of the taxpayer? Why doesn't she spend her own money?
I always thought Matheson the Great got all the accolades because of some great accomplishments (though I admit i never knew what they were). Is it wrong to now suspect that it is all the manipulations of a rich wife, who wields great influence and dominates and has possibly ruined the democrat party from behind the scenes?
Is it wrong to say that if she wants statues and buildings named after her husband she should use the family fortune instead of the public treasury?
Any factual responses would be appreciated?
