Talk:Doc Hastings

message: A user from Special:Contributions/24.19.203.160 added this edit that states Hastings was
:Listed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) as one of the 22 most corrupt members of congress for having improper contact with a Washington U.S. Attorney CREW List.
Someone interested and knowledgeable about this issue should check to see whether this is a noteworthy allegation and perhaps find a better way to present it in the article (A controversy section, perhaps?). As is, it seems like an attempt to slip some "this politician is corrupt" propaganda (however true it may be) into the encyclopedia.WDavis1911 08:17, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Here's the sentence I removed: "Hastings is one of the most pro-business pro-jobs representatives in the Congress, according to the United States Chamber of Commerce which gives Hastings a score of 94 out of 100 based on his 16-year voting record.". I think the Chamber's rating has a place, but it's not neutral to call it "pro-business pro-jobs", since that accepts the CoC's frame, namely that the policies they support create jobs. How about this: "Hastings is rated as one of the most business-friendly representatives in Congress, receiving a 94 out of 100 from the United States Chamber of Commerce."

Meelar, that change seems fine. You seem to accept a frame that it's even possible to be pro-business but job destroying. More than 96% of U.S. Chamber members are small businesses with 100 employees or fewer. It's clear that the U.S. Chamber wants those companies to grow and be successful. Businesses are always categorized by the U.S. Chamber by the companies' headcounts, not their top line, bottom line, or input to the GDP. Senor Island (talk) 01:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is this section in quotation marks? Is it an attempt at sarcasm? Most politicians' pages list Controversies as a neutral, fact-based section. This section reads more like a brag list, naming off all the corrupt Democrats Hastings has busted while denying any connection to Tom DeLay or any Republican misdeeds. It's obviously partisan and needs to be corrected.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpw5x4 (talk • contribs) 10:17, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
