LiveBlogging the Mayoral Forum! Come One, Come A…

LiveBlogging the Mayoral Forum!

Come One, Come All, As We Instantaneously Scrutinize, Criticize, and Praise the Candidates While Watching From the Comfort of Our Own Homes.

Let me explain: Instead of going to the debate, I will be liveblogging as it happens. Because
1) My life is that dull and
2) This will allow us to dissect candidate’s statements right when they make them.

This thread is open to anyone. Join the party.

    Full-time mayor without a machine behind him? Hehe John Sams is so funny.

  6. Lamar White, Jr. Avatar

    Yeah, Roosevelt’s really found his voice. On another note, I’m sad Joe Fuller isn’t wearing his Joe! o6 polo shirt. That shirt had Joementum.

    Oops Joe forgot his number.

    WHAT? THEY CUT JACQUES OFF!

  9. ATownShakedown Avatar

    I do believe they just cut off Jacques.

  10. Lamar White, Jr. Avatar

    yeah he said “very, very, very well,” and then we got a commercial for EyeMasters.

    I liked what Roy had to say though, before he got cut off. I also liked the points Fuller brought up.

    Haha. Roosevelt Johnson likes speaking about himself in the third person. Like Rickey Henderson.

    I did not go, but I am a veteran of two wars??? I like Red’s intensity, but if you didn’t go to the wars, how are you a veteran?

  19. ATownShakedown Avatar

    Red seems really tense. You can’t run a city on just military merits.

  20. 2Cool4School Avatar

    Joe says “We have to have an open door policy.” Isn’t that Red’s platform?

    Red for Mayor!

    She’s technically correct. I received the Southwest Asia Campaign award and it was over before I got out of basic.

    I do not, however, consider myself a Gulf War veteran.

    Red was in charge of budgeting billions of dollars back when she was Secretary of State.

    Red for Mayor!

  25. ATownShakedown Avatar

    Jacques seems really natural. I feel like he’s directly speaking to the people where as some of the others are just pleasing the ear.

  26. Lamar White, Jr. Avatar

    Yeah I’ve heard Red say she was in charge of billions of dollars several times before.

    OK Brewer suppporters – help me out. Just watched the forum.

    #1. She continues to spout the Charter/law, etc. – not being followed. How did she not solve this problem in her reign as Chief of Staff? She didn’t get the opportunity to answer “If elected: How long before you can become effective?” Well she couldn’t do it in her 16 years…so just how long will it take?

    #2. She said none of her contributors expect anything. Well What about baby Roy o. Martin?
    She is “toying” with the idea of providing public transportation to job sites outside the city. WHAT?????? Baby Roy has been politicing government support to transport minimum wage workers to his plant located well outside the city for the past two years. He located there to avoid city taxes and take advantage of tax incentivized areas…now he wants the same jurisdiction that he ditched to support his bottom line. She’s biting? How much did he contribute? So all you have to do is look good, smile nice and write a big check and you get whatever you want?????
