I don't know who edits the headlines at Yahoo, but they certainly get to the heart of the matter:

"Bush vetoes kids health insurance bill"

UPDATE/QUESTION: Sorry for the ignorance on my part after 2 years here...what's a concern troll? I'm being labelled below as one and just want to know what it is.

Please please hack away at me!

I think Kos' diary could have been a nice display of the typical Wingnut temperament. But I have to take exception, based on some ethical concerns. I teach this stuff, but am by no means an expert.

Please be patient with a tiny Ethics 101 lesson and then feel free to flame away.

Sad, but not surprising news today:

To understand what's going on here, follow me for a short non-native's tour of my state. This is the second somewhat promising candidate to turn down this race. The other, pro-gun guy Bill Kennedy, dropped out due to health reasons. And in the last election, the Dem congress candidate got her butt whooped.

I'm a lucky guy in that I'm fairly young (42) and things are good.

Because things are good, I can give cash to causes I care about, including political campaigns. My giving is a fairly recent habit, starting with Jon Tester here on dKos back in late 2005, when no one in the msm was giving him a chance. It was through dKos that I found candidates to give to and have not stopped giving.

Until now.

This interests me for a couple of reasons:

First, because of my somewhat cynical yet hardly implausible theory that people who have significant funds tend to vote with their cash - either to 'stay the course' or to change things NOW.

It's a form letter...

God Almighty, he couldn't even have a staffer write something up that sounded like it comes for a real person. It's talking points that you can read on his site, or hear from his office staff.

I just got off the phone with Deb Franzen, in Tester's office. I told her how disappointed I was - she said "Jon couldn't vote for cutting funding - he's just as much against this war as you are. But he wants to bring these people back alive"

I just find that so much bs, Kos. How do you continue to fight for the reasoning of a candidate who voted the same way Burns would? Such a damn disappointment, especially for someone like me, who put heart, soul and cash into a guy who voted Nay on the Feingold amendment...just like Burns.
