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.
