just the facts ma'am hello thuranx adding well documented statements of fact that directly contradict a candidates own current official position is healthy in a free and open forum like wikipedia i don't see you being critical of editors who only make reference to un encyclopedic sources such as a candidate own controlled web page or an un referenced list of official positions according to your reasoning the political positions section of each candidates page might as well be a direct link to their own web site or positions list from their own hard drive as for me i will continue to promote wikipedia as a free medium where by the lobbyests and special interests do not have a corrupting advantage over the rest of us this is not in violation of any wiki rules and is in fact extactly what we are supposed to be encouraging in this free and open forum where the well referenced facts rule as for you just the facts ma'am
