Can government websites sue for copyvio? Doubtful. Falls under fair use. 161.253.40.203 16:50, 22 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

POV language in Voting Record Section

edit

"unnecessary or wasteful spending items"
"will help increase border security and crack down on illegal immigration"
"a Democrat-sponsored budget which would result in the largest federal tax increase in American history by increasing marginal income tax rates, re-instating the marriage penalty tax, reducing the child tax credit, and increasing the tax rate on capital gains."
"a vote to protect the rights of workers to make a free choice on the issue of unionizing by opposing a bill that would have taken away the secret ballot process employees have when it comes to voting for a union"
"amendments to two key House spending bills that would have saved taxpayers $790 million"
Anyone care to defend these as NPOV? 140.180.2.119 05:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Gilchrest is a closet liberal and this article, in particular the voting section, is a fawning essay that sounds like it was written by a staffer. If I had the the patience I would rewrite this entire bloody thing. The guy is an embarrassment to the Republican party and should be given the boot. Oh wait. Political diatribe. Apologies. Unfortunately, I live in Sarbanes's district so all I can do is give money to a primary challenger. ARGH there I go again! Someone clean up this damn article! 76.100.186.194 07:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

So, eliminating all of the references to votes that contradict the premise that he is a closet liberal is a fair approach? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.178.71 (talk) 14:35, 18 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

This section (and article) reads as if it was written by conservative Republicans trying to list any instances of Gilchrest's breaks with his party. It is not NPOV, and this list of his support for specific legislation fails to capture his overall voting record. Calling his voting record "liberal for a Republican" is a loaded description, whereas simply "moderate" would be more accurate. While one cannot argue the legitimacy of the votes, this section gives undue weight to the opinions of the Republican opponents of Gilchrest. Karma Heretic (talk) 15:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Written by conservative Republicans in the spring who were STUPID enough to cut off their own legs to spite the remaining moderates in their party - good luck in 2010! Huangdi (talk) 05:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
