The
political season is fast coming to a close and the attacks will only
become stronger and more pointed. The attacks will come from both
sides and aimed towards the other. What is interesting is the fallout
from these ads. For instance we have seen the fallout from PAC ads
against Jeff Evangelos running in district 49 against Bob Carter.
Supporters for Jeff have come out in local papers where people have
expressed their outrage about these negative ads and rightly so. The
character of this man is being called into question. Are the
statements untrue or are they just a little to close to home? That is
something you as the voter will have to decide in just a few days.
As a
voter you should look to see how your candidate handles being under
the gun. Is this person a poor sport in the way he/ she handles
criticism or does he/ she show grace under fire. Brushing aside the
attacks and not falling for being set up. Does the candidate respond
from the heart or the head. Running for office is a test of
character. Do we really want someone in Augusta that ignores the
competition and acts in a childlike manner? Of course not.
That
is why we ask that you cast your vote for the Republicans in Knox,
Lincoln and Waldo counties. They have come under fire and have shown
grace that one would expect our political leaders to display. Vote
Republican, vote for change and vote for our future.
I had the chance to see some of the candidates in Union a few weeks ago. At the end of a discussion between Bob and Jeff, Bob turned to Jeff to shake hands and was ignored by Jeff. That is telling of the candidates. Bob Carter showed that he has the character and strength to take on Augusta.
ReplyDeleteThe other party is a bit too comfortable in the role they have had for the past 40 years. It is understandable that the pressure they face with this election is making them more defensive then they should be. I look at the comments made towards the Republicans and that they are taken in stride by those candidates. Grace is a good word that describes how they handle that same criticism. It is obvious that further change is needed in Augusta. "Vote Republican, vote for change and vote for our future." that is what I am going to do...
ReplyDeleteI had a Jeff Evangelos sign placed on my yard. I support Bob Carter not Jeff. It would appear that this is a desperate move by Jeff. I still wonder what Jeff stands for. I know where Bob Carter stands. I like that in a candidate.
