Some politicians have to play dirty
I'm not going to mention names here (maybe I will in a later post) but word has it that one of the precinct level politicians is bad mouthing other county officials again.
There is nothing wrong with telling constituents, or anybody you damn well please, how you feel about an elected official however there is a line that can be crossed. You don't give up this right just because you hold a public office but I think you have a higher level of responsibility to be accurate in your statements and not make unsubstantiated personal attacks.
Word has it that a certain controversial figure is out bad mouthing almost every other elected official who has disagreed with them, and the comments aren't limited to their disagreements. Instead, the language being used is offensive and probably could be considered slanderous/libelous. Their ethics and honesty are being questioned in a way that is absolutely incorrect and inappropriate.
To be honest, I'm not really surprised that this person is doing this but what I am surprised about is that they are either too dumb or too irresponsible to consider that word will get around and make them look much worse than the people they are slandering.
Keep it clean people, keep it clean.

Ok, I've been patient waiting for comments &/or more information and counldn't stand it any longer. Please embelish more on the story!! Very interesting and I am sure it'd be even more so once we get more dish on it!!

I really don't want to mention any names because this is something I heard from someone involved in a conversation but there is no way to independently verify it.
All I can say further is that it is someone who is always involved in controversy, and his opinion is that everyone in county government who disagrees with him is "a crook", "dishonest", and a "liar".
In those words.
What gets me about this situation is that the person is so dense that he doesn't realize that kind of talk gets around and makes EVERYONE look bad. Just because there is a disagreement on an issue doesn't make them dishonest or any of the other slurs.
When people vote in November I hope they ignore party lines and vote for who will do the best job, not just who will cause the most trouble.
By the way, do any of the Republican readers of this blog have anything to say about the recent posts regarding using their headquarters as living quarters?
I would like to hear some honest opinions from all different sides of the topic.
