Geez, as you said yourself Cabo, you really are a suspicious type. There are three simple answers to your questions...
- I mentioned Rich Nugent because he is my Congressman and the representative of most people who live in The Villages. He's the only incumbent member of the House who will be on the ballot that most Villagers will vote on.
- I didn't give Russell a "plug". I pointed out that he was running for the seat as the representative of the 5th District. He's the only non-incumbent candidate running. If that's a "plug", so be it.
- How many times have I said that I won't vote for an incumbent? Last time I looked, Bill Nelson is in that category. Should I find ways to beat him up even though I don't intend to vote for him? That's what too many people are doing to President Obama, even though they don't intend to vote for him either. Seems like a giant waste of time to me. I didn't mention which of those running against Nelson that appeal to me because there are sixteen of them!
You need to stop looking under rocks for hidden agendas, Cabo...you too, Richie. If I have an agenda, I won't hide it.
