I think what's missing is your definition of "vigorous dissent".

If vigorous dissent is at the heart of what democracy is about, then these quotes (I'm not going to check to see where you found them or whether they are accurate, the smear machine has been working overtime so anything is possible) are certainly vigorous dissent. The "smear machine?" The transcripts are out there and the quotes can be verified. I have no doubt she said the things that have been attributed to her. Let Cindy be accountable for her statements. Does any drivel that comes out of someone's mouth constitute vigorous dissent worthy of recognition? It would appear so.

John, I met a new couple at a neighborhood beer and brat thing yesterday afternoon. Mid 30s and just moved here from Morristown NJ. They live 7 houses away. I believe the house was finished about 6 months ago. Told me they came here for the lifestyle. Their big thing right now is hiking. I named a dozen of my favorite hikes and they have already done them all. They used an internet site to evaluate their personal lifestyle tastes and were given 5 or 6 locations in the west to look at. My wife said, "Wow that sounds like an internet date service." They both simultaneously responded, "That is how we met." Did not discuss NJ but I'll attempt that soon.
