Weh's conduct unsettling

Someone else first observed; "the best indicator of future performance is past performance". There is a better indicator than past performance and that is, current performance.

If the interest is in electing ethical politicians, then some attention should be paid to their manifest ethics.

For the life of me, I cannot understand how voters can watch unethical conduct during campaigns and then be surprised when it shows up again after election.

Consider Colonel Allen Weh's current campaign;

1. he claims he isn't a politician, and
2. he is misrepresenting Lt Gov Diane Denish's use of Richardson's jet, and
3. he is "push polling", and
4. he still has not stepped up to the consequences of his alleged physical assault on a member(s) of the NMRP staff.

1. By any reasonable definition, Weh is a politician. To represent otherwise, in order to cash in on anti-politician public sentiment, is not honest.

2. Weh is running TV ads that have misrepresented Denish's use of the state jet. He claimed she used federal funds and apparently is mistaken. It appears she was using state tax dollars to fly to the parade. The mistake could well be innocent. Continuing to run that ad after he knows that he is spreading an untruth, is not so innocent.

3. According to blogger Monahan, Weh is conducting a push poll. Push polls are actually illegal in some states, because they are so blatantly unethical.

4. There is every reason to believe that there was a physical assault. The details are germane to the discourse surrounding his candidacy. Everybody makes mistakes; only a few have the character and the courage to admit to them and accept the consequences.

How will Weh conduct himself if elected?

What are you going to believe,
his ads on radio and TV, or your lying eyes?

Look to his current conduct.
