George,

It is disrespectful, disgusting, abhorrent and intolerant to ever make accusations of a candidate without placing a name to it. It is completely wrong. Argue facts, politics, platform, party, perspective .. never veiled attacks!

Think of all the misinformed assumptions that have been made about each and every one of us in basic daily life. Now ... imagine running for office. (Putting your heart and soul out there ... sticking your neck out on the line.) Then you get some two faced chicken who makes accusations and won't put his name on the attack.

I have no insight into this current garbage. Political experience tells it is a total set up. Anyone who says ... we're the bosses, wait your turn, we'll decide who wins has the mind of a five year old. They know this or they would put their name to it.

Let's give air-time to folks who are proud to make their ideas known as their own.

We all spend much time working to improve our small city. Often we disagree. Let's disagree respectfully and in public.
