Political Tricks of Local Politicians-Vote Tuesday April 24, 2012

‎"Tricks are for kids," is the old cereal commercial jingle. In the world of local politics dirty tricks are for adults and the adult political incumbent on the county commission is pulling some dirty tricks out of her bag of deceit. Reference the current Jackson County Chairperson of the Commission, Ms. Sadie Bias. Recently several handouts and internet mailings have been circulating. None have the required statement, paid for by the political committee. 

One set of political flyers says an interested citizen asked questions of the candidates; as it turns out the questions were never asked and the questions along with the fake answers are right wing extremist oriented. Blaming the United Nations and agenda 21 for our problems. These flyers were passed around town to businesses. The flyers faux answers are a direct attack on the Democrat Party while supporting candidates who seemingly support right wing extremist agendas.

Another flyer was sent forth containing an inaccurate budget breakdown report in internet form with a statement by Commissioner Clemmons to support Ms. Bias for Commission Chair. The political ad was comparing the city and county budgets, supporting the alleged managerial abilities of Ms. Bias the current chair of the commission. This political ad has also been circulated by supporters of Ms. Bias; the internet advertisement nor the handout contained the required political committee paid for statement. However, the news paper ad of the same chart comparison did have the required statement. The comparison and the figures listed are not accurate.

Fellow citizens. I'm not asking you to support any one candidate, I am asking you to vote come Tuesday with your eyes wide open. Do not allow extremist organizations and dirty tricks to sway your voting. Vote for the candidate who has the highest character and excellent moral values; vote for the candidate who tells you their positions on issues, not a candidate who has no platform other than the negative bashing platform whose advertisements are highly questionable and false. Vote for those who offer forth sensible leadership.
