A guy I had thought was a best friend gave me his "support" and gave Janklow $250. Funny thing was that he told people like me that he hated Janklow. I was just idly browsing the campaign finance reports a few years later and ran across that donation.Bob Newlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388226473052858297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123919364122433432.post-68772686505493692012012-02-17T21:10:35.274-07:002012-02-17T21:10:35.274-07:00Better yet Newland, is when you later see their su...Better yet Newland, is when you later see their support, in the SOS campaign finance reports........for your opponent..lol....what part of stupid don't they understand???Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747451938346384727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123919364122433432.post-13907898715419535042012-02-17T20:02:06.891-07:002012-02-17T20:02:06.891-07:00Yeah, that whole "support" thing kind of...Yeah, that whole "support" thing kind of bugs me too. I've been supported by many people in my lifetime. Sometimes that translated into actual action, but usually not. I'm certain that sometimes it was simply insincere lip service. <br /><br />Sometimes the speaker was sincere, but took no action. What does that mean? I've asked, and been told that it was moral support meant to encourage and strengthen my resolve. Well, yeah. <br /><br />It is good to know that others agree with me or understand that whatever it is I'm doing is a good thing. Really I know of many people who do the moral/no action thing and feel that they are making a real contribution. <br /><br />So I guess the meaning of sincere support is in the mind of the speaker. I don't think I really like that. I'd rather see actions following the words.D.E. Bishopnoreply@blogger.com
