does our governor represent you? [View all]
I grew up in a republican house hold. yup you might say that I was a typical paper town son who
grew up in a mill-town whose family knew which side the bread was buttered on. I stayed with that tunneled visioned outlook till I was about 30. Then I went to a meeting to voice my opinion on who I thought would make a good candidate for a state congressman in my district. well we were told that we could speak out freely and come to a consensus! hmmm but the jerk the party sent down didn't like our choice so he ridiculed us and said we had to vote for this candidate he favored. Well never one to not speak his piece "I said I was under the impression we were to decide among ourselves who we liked and bring it to a vote" -his reply was that holy group (not in those exact words) from Augusta wanted us to pick their choice! hmmm I said so that's how democracy works in Augusta. I said I think I am an independent thinker and will decide who I should vote for " and from now on I shall never waste my time in any such farce as this where the powers to be send someone like you to steer the vote. THEIR WERE ABOUT 50 PEOPLE IN THIS GATHERING AND APPROX 25 LEFT WITH ME!
Do you think the governor has the right to hold back bond money that the majority of voters approved? If you do your probably a republican and the reason we are such a poor state. Negative thinking destroys more than it ever achieves! If you have an idea doesn't mean you have the right to destroy mine. If I like yours I 'LL PUSH IT ! BUT IF THE MAJORITY VOTE FOR ANOTHER IDEA EVEN THOUGH I DON'T LIKE IT-I WILL HONOR THEIR VOTE! THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON MAJORITY RULES!
