This is for Danny Turner who is running for school board at large.
I am curious why he decided to run as a republican since in the past he has supported democratic ideas. I'm concerned that he is doing this for votes which makes him appear sketchy and fake.
For those who discuss politics with me on a regular basis, there is no question as to where I stand on issues. I am and always have been conservative. I have identified myself as a conservative democrat in the past but that is no longer the case. There are no more of those. Whether I am successful in this election or not, I will continue to be true to my conservative ideals. I hope that answers your question.
Danny has always bee a conservative, Anyway; with the way we vote, what difference does it make? You have to pick a ticket to vote.
You don't sound like a question asker. You sound more like a pot stirrer and you're poking the flames. If you don't like Danny; just say it. Don't be stupid trying to attract stupid. People have their own brain, They don't need a tiny one working to try and force decisions on them.
I do not know you, but I know of you through the buildings you rent on College Dr.
Why should I back a person that backs a party ( Democrats) that wants to take more of my money and do away with my second amendment right?
You say you are running as a Republican and not a Democrat because of the conservative values you have. Why have you waited so long? They have not had values for a while. Arlen Specter just lost his seat in the senate, by a very large majority because he changed from Republican to Democrat, just to win a race. He voted for most of the spending, Obama and his cronies have put, on mine and your children, and my great grandchild. How many people (Democrats) have you backed in the past that you knew were going to raise taxes to buy votes from people that see a 10 second sound bite and take it to be gospel?
If you are in earnest about being conservative, come back to this piece and tell what are your intentions about taxes and spending. I do not have a child in the school system, and I now pay more school tax than I ever have in the past. Its getting very hard to pay every year when you pay out more and the same amount comes in. We (on fixed income) are the ones that are forgotten about. Just what percentage do you think a person and family should have to give the gov. What Percent?
I think people are too smart to believe a person changes parties due to backing them (Democrats) for a long time. Could it be you understand the Democrats are loosing in every pole and now you wish to change all of a sudden? Come back and say what you are going to do for the people that actually pay the lions share of school tax, and how do you intend to cut the budget and have another surplus next year, and years to come?
Danny is not a democrat. He never has been one. His family are not democrats. Why do you insist on trying to make him one.
Danny has conservative values. Always has. As for a political party - Danny is going to do right with the common people. He can see the waste that is going on and I'm sure he will work to end it. One of the last things he wants is higher taxes. Only an idiot would wish higher taxes on themselves.
Look a football stadium is nice but those are the things you go after when we've eliminated substandard classrooms and put an education above a possible sports scolarship for less than .0001%. Get the kids ready to enter college.
George Brown has been one of the best commissioners this county has ever seen. He's always working for the people in the district and only receives a meer piddens for it. He don't classify as one of the butt kissers. Jay probably went to great lengths to get somebody to run against him. He should have run as commission chair and not commissioner. Jay has already gave away a lot of county assets and this is who you all want in charge.
"I have identified myself as a conservative democrat in the past" sounds like he was a democrat to me.he called himself one,what else do you need.i agree with the folks saying he's swapping sides because he knows the democraps have shown what they are made of.sorry buddy you made that bed now sleep in it.
I am not trying to make anyone, anything. Did I not ask a question after my statement. Politicians should be held to a higher standard--don't you think? Just how can I back a person who backs a party that wants to take more of my money and do away with my second amendment right. Come back and tell me. If you can't understand that question, you do not understand English. I still would like to know, why now? Over the past few years, the Democrat party have been the tax raisers and wants to change the constitution. Did he not vote and back the party he ran under?
For your information, people that are in power,especially the ones you Democrats have voted for, do raise taxes on people, certain groups,and certain people not. Maybe they gave themselves a sweetheart deal, like the moocher crowd,and like the unions and certain states that were crucial in voting the Democrat way for different bills that will in the end run-- raise taxes, They do this to the people every day, or have you missed that part?. They don't pay, but the rest of us will-----you really don't want to forget that. I still want to hear his reasons, of why now???? By the way, The democrats are now starting the process of taking over certain unions retirement, and guarantee it forever. The damn thing is broke and can not keep paying out the sweetheart deals, so they( the Democrats) want the rest of us to guarantee the retirement of certain ones. How does that grab you? Did he support these people---inquiring minds are waiting with anticipated breath.
You are forgetting the Democrats do not have to sign a loyalty oath when joining the party. They do not put party before the citizen like the GOP does.
I guess you are a voter but don't have the mental capacity to understand the term "conservative democrat".
Of course idiots enjoy trying to attach specific labels on people. I guess you have nothing better to do.
Party affiliation does not eliminate individual thought. Defying these stereotypes is not always easy but is what democracy is based on--freedom of thought and choice.
Everyone has been watching too much TV. This is small time politics. At this level forget which party a person runs under. At this level a person is likely going to run under a party that might lend a slight edge. It makes no difference if a person is running as a democrat or a republican at this level. If you want to vote for a party then stay home. If you want things changed or if you want them to stay the same - vote for the person that you think will get the job done. Forget what party they are running under until they run for a senate seat or president -FOR EXAMPLE-
Voting for a party causes nothing but trouble. In my opinion, it's time to find out about the person seeking the position and weigh in on what they offer.

Thank you.

P.S. I'm not your buddy!
