You decide . . .
the fact that abortion is a big issue in this campaign is just crazy. We need candidates to show more discipline and focus on local issues.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Clay, nobody ever said that you weren't persistent. I'm pretty sure this voter guide is a lot more accurate than what a lot of the local media published.
DeleteIf you are truly fed up with business as usual in KC, then write in or don't vote for either. At least your conscious will be clear!
ReplyDelete^^^^
ReplyDeleteAgree
Write in, it's your only hope the two candidates will destroy the city beyond repair. They are both crazy and huge liars!
Do other cities have crazy f__s running write in candidacy from 3 states away ? I like this guy but wtf ?
ReplyDeleteI vote Clay!
ReplyDelete+100 ^^^^
ReplyDeleteBut I think those are jolie votes, will probably lose her the election.
Both candidates are suddenly all for street maintenance, public safety,rational utility bills, and all the rest of the issues that both of them have TOTALLY IGNORED during their time on the council.
ReplyDeleteThe real issue in the campaign is amnesia.
Certainly by the candidates.
And they hope, by the public.
In either case, the next four years is going to be very sad for the residents and small businesses of KCMO.
