| Martin Luther King had a dream that Americans would someday be judged solely by the content of their characters.
Now, the character of yet another of Rehberg's inner circle has been called into question by the law. Vogel, is trotting out the tired framed by political enemies conspiracy theory. I guess it's everyone else who is lying, not him. Vogel, a former cop, should know there is a simple way to prove whether or not he's lying.
It's called a lie detector test.
Since Dennis Rehberg appears to lack the moral fortitude to do so himself, let's call on Randy Vogel to voluntarily submit to questions about his recent activities with the assistance of a lie detecter test.
Rehberg has a real problem here. Again and again, the character judgements of this public servant are proved to be unworthy of the office to which the people had elected him. In each of these cases, it was about more than the specific wrong-doing of Rehberg's close advisors and backers, his associates and staff. It was about a clear violation of the public's trust.
Those who seek to be public figures, elected or appointed staff, have a moral obligation to the communities from which they come and which they (are supposed to) take pride in representing. This obligation is simple: If you seek to be a role model, act like one.
Be transparent and honest. And, most of all, demand integrity of yourself and your advisors out of respect for those who look to you as an example. |
