Comments on: Just who are the Republicans for Henry? http://www.angrywhiteboy.org/index.php/2007/11/02/just-who-are-the-republicans-for-henry/ Sun, 05 Sep 2010 11:21:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Gina Zimmerman http://www.angrywhiteboy.org/index.php/2007/11/02/just-who-are-the-republicans-for-henry/comment-page-1/#comment-16184 Gina Zimmerman Tue, 06 Nov 2007 00:34:57 +0000 http://www.fortwaynenews.com/index.php/2007/11/02/just-who-are-the-republicans-for-henry/#comment-16184 Hey all, if my memory serves me, I voted in my first election when I was 18 and now I am a proud 51 (that is a ton of times voting). However, as a newly annexed voter, this is my first time to ever vote for mayor of Fort Wayne. So saying I haven't voted is a tad more than inaccurate. Seems to be an epidemic of not getting the facts right, heh! Isn't democracy great. We can vote for the person who we believe will be the best candidate based on their credentials, integrity and reputation. All of my long-term Republican friends have been extremely supportive of my public stand for Henry. In fact, they are either voting or leaning towards Henry.

She was humiliated back in early Spring when she was caught red-handed “relocating” a Kelty sign to place a Peters sign. Sadly, she has repeatedly and publicly denied the incident. But the crew of FW firefighters that witnessed it, as well as the one who confronted her on the matter and insisted that she put the Kelty sign back from where she pulled it, know the truth. For me, it’s not so much about the stupid sign, as it is the lack of character she has shown in dealing with the truth. The TRUTH….ahh…now that’s whole new concept for some, now isn’t it?

Then she said she met with the candidates and her decision is based on the issues. The TRUTH is, she was seeking political influence and Henry is giving it to her. Political power and influence. That is what is driving Cathy Hawks. And her first option with this new wonderful political influence, is being able to get her family on TV!! (a dream come true.)

Either we went to the same source or our data is correct. I did not know of the Graf/Hawks connection though. Dan,

His old man knew what character was, and still does. Interestingly, if you drive by the original Sam T's house, the Sam T who was a Democrat all of his political career (not becuase it was expedient - but because he believed in the party), you don't see a sign for Kelty?! - Nor do you see a sign for Henry??!! (although there is a political sign in the yard!!) As for Sam T implying that Cathy Hawks was "Republican" becuase she was the daughter of a "real" Republican, Come on Sam, Does that mean you are a Democrat? - ooops - I guess that was a stupid question. In my opinion, belonging to a political party is more than a label - it speaks about your core political beliefs. Sam, what are your core beliefs? And, finally, to destroy the local party from within like Sam and Cathy have done is disgraceful. The electorate chose Matt Kelty over Nelson Peters. I think there are only 3 responsible choices an elected official has if they a) don't like the candidate personally and b) can't argue philosophically with the elected candidate; support that candidate, get out of the party, or show the class that you should have learned from your father and keep quiet.

I couldn't vote continuation so I voted against Linda Buskirk. And we got a good change. The downside, Graham never met a dollar from somebody else's pocket that he wasn't willing to spend.

Thank you very much. Sam Talerico and Kathy Hawks are indeed RINOs. If you disagree with your party's nominee, quietly voting for another candidate or abstaining from voting is acceptable ...but publically attacking your party and its candidate though the media is not the way that you make friends and influence people. Sam T. has been in both parties and I presume he conveniently became a Republican in order to win an election in a GOP town. Sam, I am not accusing you af attacking, but your public support of Henry is untoward. I am shamed to think that you got my vote in the last election. Cathy Hawks and other executive committee members have, with effort and forethought, successfully crippled the Allen County Republicans as a political organization. GOP leaders should realize, but obviously do not, that a large part of the party consists of conservatives, so you can expect that old leaders will be swept out in favor of New Order Reaganites.

I guess I am tired of seeing people trying to draw in people to become human targets for some off the wall comments. While my comments where based on the question Carol ask, it was not ment to say she was going to do something that was underhanded. I have just watched too many others try to bait people into things. So I am now calmed down, but still tired. Carol & Dan.... Your are so right on what it takes out of person to run for office. I have no idea how Matt or Tom can keep it going. The two of them apparently know how to take a 24 hour day and get 36 hours out of it. Carol & Sam…
