I'm one of those "Yankees" that happens to live in dist 2 and have for 18 yrs, so it's not really tough for me to decide who I'll be voting for.   Among other things,I have a problem voting for someone who has paid no property taxes in the district he wants to make decisions for.

Jane Doe, you seem to worry an awful lot about TOS violations considering you seem to be doing quite a few yourself.  Interesting how you happened to just jump in to this topic. Gracie needs to worry more about those horsies, right?

In the 'VOTE' section of AIM today, Bill Holder proves that he is an intelligent and capable candidate by giving full answers and explanations of every question AIM asked. Gracie Floyd evaded the questions she did answer and refused to answer one question. Gracie is a disgrace to Anderson County and must be replaced. Her district harbors most of the drugs and crime in our county. It has gotten much worse since she has been in office. WHY?

Bill Holder has been left in the lurch by the Radical Hard Right Republicans and has a used the nasty political strategy famously executed by the Wilderness OTA. He is closely linked to WAIM, and the less than ethical Jim Crowe, Eddie Moore, M.Cindy Wilson crowd.

Privy, if you LIVE in dist 2  it should also bother you to have a representative who does not own property in your dist.  It's really easy to say what you WILL do, but doing it is another thing.  It bothers me as much as anyone to see nothing happening on one of the most travelled roads(Belton Hwy) in Anderson.  Much of dist 2 seems to fall through the cracks because we're not near 85.  But somehow I don't see Mr Holder as the solution to that problem.  Does anyone really have an answer to the drug problem and crime rate that is increasing everywhere?

The accusation from AngleNY1 was "HOLDER LIVES WITH HIS MOTHER - - - <GASP> Ya gotta ask,"and your point is exactly what"? OMG a close family with a responsible son.

WyattNY1 said what "angel" is doing [trying to guess real names with user names]is "a TOS violation" I'll take double standards to for 600 please. Are the moderators watching this?


-janedoe

Janedope you need to get your info correct. I have never lived in NY. I have also never hide the fact that I am Mrs.Montepara.As you see I am not ashamed of who I am or what I do, Unlike you who logs on with 2 different names. Once again get your head out of MCW butt and you may be able to relly see things for what they are.Surprised

The point is....Holder is a Mama's boy not responsible enuf to procure or maintain his own household, let alone a County. Suthern ettikit don't apply with respect to RUNNING for a political office. Renting a house in another district from his ACTUAL domicile to maintain his legality to run shows already his deceit. 

WyattNY1 said what "angel" is doing [trying to guess real names with user names]is "a TOS violation" I'll take double standards to for 600 please. Are the moderators watching this? 

The answer is:  What Wyatt notices is the double standard IS part of this whole blog.  None of the regulars here needs to GUESS whom I am or what name I'm using today.   The Daily Double answer is:  As far as the MODS.....let 'em point out something wrong.

The difference between Yankees and Southerners are many but one huge difference is that Southerners respect their elders and their family heritage. I did not know that Holder lives with his mother. I find that endearing not something he should be ashamed of. Would you like to attack John Skipper because when he won the nomination of his party he hugged his momma or that he makes sure she wants for nothing?

[Quote ]angelsc, I must ask why are you not using your name when you post here? I would think that someone who is a community organizer and do-gooder like you would want people to know who they are. [Quote]

A "community organizer" would be calling on families to be strong, work together to take care of each other, and improve the community they live in. So sad that you take the low road often.

 

Mr.Holder,This crap about yankees should make a lot of voters in district 2 vote for Ms Floyd instead of you.As there are alot of them in district 2. I was not saying anything wrong about you living with your mother,I was pointing out how you are trying to mislead the voters.You and your merry band of dribbles will be real disappointed come Tuesday. And to answer again I HAVE NEVER denied who I am, actually most everyone knows me as angel.

As far as the www.graciefloyd.com website,Nice try if you scroll to the bottom of the page in very faded letters that this website is not done by the Gracie Floyd for district 2. If you go to the support page it will take you to Holder website. That is a very sad attempt to try to discredit someone. Foot in mouth See ya loser

-angelsc

My point in asking my question angelsc, using almost the exact wording you used to ask another poster the same question was to point out that someone posting using a screen name would demand to know why another poster would use a screen name is a lot like "The pot calling the kettle black!" In othe words why would you call someone out for doing the exact same thing that you do?

-confused



U r confused. It was Wyatt that got so upset over a tso violation when he was addressed directly. That was not a guess like the rest (poor prevail may never get over being called Stanley). Gracie has bigger problems to consider than the 4  legged of any size. Currently it's how to pay off JP's contract w/out looking retarded. A short sighted thing to do as when he leaves so does her CC training and she'll be totally lost.

Do you respond to more than just one thread? I think you doWink. Who is to say that Holder (if he was living with his mother, doesn't pay her taxes. If she is living on a fixed income that could be the case, ya think? Only now someone wrote he's rented a place but he's still not paying taxes. Do you think renters shouldn't get to vote because they don't pay property taxes? Of course not, it just Holder you want to pick on. This logic would have stay at home mothers loose the right to vote. Don't go backwards, go forwards - - - history - - we should learn from it. Burning daylight gotta run but it's been fun.

Ummm, didn't say sh*t about taxes, just the subturfuge about renting a home in another district, to become "legal"  when if you represent yourself as a resident, you SHOULD be a resident. If he's taking care of mommy, thats all well & good.  But explain why you'd rent a second home IF you're living at "home"?  I give crap-none about the property taxes deal, if the penny deal passes we'll all pay more taxes in addition to reassessment.. 

The arguement you make about Stay at homes losing their voting rights makes as much sense as saying if you vote Democrat you're a satanic worshipper, or if you vote McPalin you accept Botox as part of your breakfast regimine. Total nonsense.

By now, TOS is the least important thing on Cockleburnt, nobody complies with TOS here!

Actually, Wyatt, except for a few who show up sporadically to see how far they can push their luck, the majority of posters lately are complying with the TOS rules quite nicely.

As for "the few still left here" Anderson Talkzone had 2,260 posts in October, compared to just over 2,400 in September - and that's despite the new competition from Hankey and the loss of a few members who decided to go off to the corner and pout for awhile after they were told not to throw their food from their high chairs. Go figure.

A highly disparaging comment was made by a Wyattsc1 re: the age of consent up for consideration on Tuesday. It was offensive to anyone who has a daughter but it was aimed at Southerners in particular.

A very inaccurate guess was made by Angelsc as to the owner of this blog name. A semi-clever accusation as my position toward the nasty tone of some posts toward Southern morals and my in-kind remarks about specific rude Yankee's would not be to Holder's benefit at all. I assure you this blogger is not Holder.

Your comments were neither amusing or appropriate given the serious nature of child abuse and child exploitation. If you are a civic leader you do not represent the morals I support. The young, the old, and the weak deserve the protection form the shysters and predators of this world. You are rude, insulting and resort to profanity when you can not respond to a post with an intelligent well thought out comment.

I realize that the www.graciefloyd.com web site is not very complimentary to Floyd. The question was "is this the Floyd you support"? In fact you have stated it is; how revealing.

One could only hope that you two will choose to be positive examples in your district and this community. You will show others by example that opinions can differ without having to resort to foul language and rude behavior. You could learn from the Kennedy Democrats who were civilized rather than thugs who use terms like "snap" at an age where that is no longer appropriate. If you were less abrasive your messages would be heard and supported by more people. You two would do well to go back and read some of your posts and take your own advise on how to be an effective leader in this community. You are in the Bible belt. People move here to get away from what they left behind, rude and vexing people with few morals and fewer they stand by.

1-opinion, I'm going to agree with you on the "highly disparaging" comment you referenced. The last time I checked it, it was on is way to being buried by a flurry of thumbs downs (censored by the community itself), but apparently those who think it's okay to joke about sex with adolescents countered those. It's exactly the kind of comment I referenced earlier when I talked about people "pushing their luck" with the moderators.

For those who didn't see the comment - and to blunt the accusation that we're heavy-handed - here is a link to that comment from October 31, 2008 at 9:13 a.m.:

 http://www.andersontalkzone.com/2008/10/25/ballot-question-constitutional-amendment-1-age-of-/page1/

Personally (speaking as a forum member and not a moderator), I think Wyatt was making a joke -a highly offensive joke, but a joke nevertheless. In any event, the comment will remain there for another hour or so and will then be removed with no further explanation or warning.

Now, everybody play nice and be civil with one another, even when you don't agree. Is that really so tough to do?

Wyatt and I have discussed this subject,We find it hard to believe that anyone with a brain would even think of putting this on the ballot. To us it is a free pass for perverts to molest & defile our teenage daughters no matter where they are from.

A very inaccurate guess was made by Angelsc as to the owner of this blog name. A semi-clever accusation as my position toward the nasty tone of some posts toward Southern morals and my in-kind remarks about specific rude Yankee's would not be to Holder's benefit at all. I assure you this blogger is not Holder. What makes you think that just because you were born and raised in the South makes you have more morals then someone raised in the North? News flash The war ended a long time ago, its time to start livng in the here and now. Maybe that will explain why many things here are in such a mess. By the way your comments are racists. 

Your comments were neither amusing or appropriate given the serious nature of child abuse and child exploitation. If you are a civic leader you do not represent the morals I support. The young, the old, and the weak deserve the protection form the shysters and predators of this world.

I realize that the [url] web site is not very complimentary to Floyd. The question was "is this the Floyd you support"? In fact you have stated it is; how revealing. Sorry,I live in district 5 ,but if I was in district 2 Gracie would have my full support.

I am doing very well with support in my community. The people who I deal with happen to like having someone who is not afraid to speak her mind and point out what is wrong. I just like anyone else have the right to speak my mind,just like you do.This does not mean I have to agree with it. I did not move here to move away from rude people.I moved here due to 2 deaths in family! I actually find people have more problems here then from where I lived up North. That bible belt excuse does not work for me. If people actually did what they preached and swore to god they would do,then yes,things would be much nicer in the South. You act like its only the kids up North who talk like gangsters, Newsflash, That happens ALL over the US. I blame the parents for not contolling their kids. By the way, Where I grew up, There has only been 2 murders in over 20 yrs. Ya see I grew up in a small town, not the city. Yes we have many small towns up North.Surprised

Jane, the discussion wasn't about who gets to vote, it was about a county council representative.  Big Difference!   And the person who has lived in my district and paid property taxes in MY DISTRICT is who I prefer to represent me and MY district.  You also live in this district RIGHT? Or why else would you be so concerned--that was the point I was making about your jumping in on this topic.

People move here to get away from what they left behind, rude and vexing people with few morals and fewer they stand by.  Quote of 1-opinion           I-opinion, you made my day, by starting it off with a good laugh..  At least I hope you are joking.
