[edit] Not a proper setting for political debate

Whoever wrote this article is obviously allied to the side of the city counsel that lost the recent recall election. El Dorado is actually a decent place to live and through a lot of changes the old downtown core is still vibrant. Every community has issues, but I don't think crying about an election loss on the commentary pages of this article are appropriate - this discussion board is supposed to be about the accuracy and objectivity of the article. I did remove an added sentance at the end that (I think) the author of the above rant inserted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Resume hut (talk • contribs)

Yes, I agree--this isn't the place for political debate. However, a lot of those comments could be true and could be "encyclopedic" in nature... that is, if they were sourced and verifiable. Good job removing. Anyone got valid comments to enter? Give a source and post it!--Paul McDonald 14:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Some of it MAY be legitimate, but calling Brian Shepard a brave an honest man is really too much. A lot of people (myself included) think he's completely dishonest. Regardless of the personal feelings of myself or anyone else, this kind of thing has no business on Wikipedia, at least as it's written. As Paul says, an NPOV paragraph with plenty of sources about the political climate in El Dorado would probably be a nice addition. The Parsnip! 17:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
