David Smith: NOW He Tells Us (on March 28), Then He Hides It (on April 10)

The official web site of the David Smith Campaign still has this Fact Sheet. Though I believe it disappeared and reappeared on Sunday so that the final paragraph could be added, it is being reproduced here in case it does a permanent disappearing act:

STATEMENT
I was blessed with the opportunity to attend the highest ranking business school in our nation. Upon graduation, my professional career has given our family the opportunity to live in various places throughout the country. In September of 2001, upon reading President Bush’s biography “A Charge to Keep”, I became very interested in serving our country in the United States Congress. In each area where we have lived for the past 5 years, I have worked diligently to that end. People have been moved by my sincere and principled desires to serve. At age 36, I have gained a strong understanding of the political process. Those that have met me and have heard me speak have no doubts that I will be a valiant leader in Washington.

(With all due respect, I don’t trust my vote for one of the 100 most powerful national politicians in the US to someone who has very little life experience because he gives good speeches, presents himself well in short meetings, and has read a book by George W. Bush.)

Here’s the fun part about the Smith Campaign’s Fact Sheet and Statement page — At least all day yesterday, and through 10:30 a.m. today (and counting), you couldn’t navigate to it from anywhere else on the site. That is still true as of the time of this post. In other words, the Smith Campaign’s invaluable Fact Sheet is inaccessible to all except those who might have linked to or bookmarked it previously.

I guess the Smith Campaign thinks that the fewer who people see a Fact Sheet showing short-term residency and 3 other political candidacies in three years, the better. But he can still tell people it’s there on his web site. Charming.
