Go the August 8 Election Pool blog and tells us what you think the voter percentages will fall.

There's prizes!

Vote Republican


Submitted by Don Rehwaldt on Tue, 08/01/2006 - 8:23pm.

What a shame! Linda Wells, Peter Pfeifer and Greg Dunn supported the renovation of Shamrock Park by working and helping to clean up the park. Linda supported the County funding to help assure that a park was available to the citizens of Tyrone and to help bring the park up to County standards. Now, a Town Councilman, who, by the way, never lifted a finger to help, denigrates Linda Wells and her efforts to help Tyrone. The people of Tyrone recognized her efforts in the Primary by giving Linda 152 of the 289 votes cast; i.e. in a field of three, almost 53%. Again, shame on any Tyrone official who would thwart the efforts of a honest, upstanding citizen of Fayette County as Linda Wells - Shame!

Exactly who is this honest, upstanding citizen? Surely not one of the reigning county dicitators.

I am pleased to have Dr. Todd back on the school board. I firmly believe he is committed to the extreme illegal student problem in Fayette County Schools. The rest of the bunch, including the superintendant, have had their heads firmly in the sand far too long. Only due to the outcry from the local citizenry have they begun to take this issue seriously. Folks, all these students, and their parents, are STEALING from you, me, and everyone in Fayette County. Lee Wright barely survived--let's hope he is committed to ridding the schools of these illegal students. The rest of you, hopefully, will be voted out in due time! Fayette County Schools and their teachers are exceptional enough to run on auto-pilot. We surely DO NOT need incompetent bureaucrats, who are either ignorant of the issues or reluctant to act. Fayette County is watching!

Seems like everytime I logon - I can vote?

This should be real factual and correct data?

Submitted by McDonoughDawg on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 7:06am.

And this website is not where it counts.

Submitted by susieq on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 12:04am.

Casey,
You can vote every time you logon -- that's in case you change your mind -- but a vote from your computer will only count once.

Submitted by allin on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 12:11am.

Thank you - does the computer know I switch and will it move my vote from one to the other?

Not that I care, just wondering

Submitted by susieq on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 12:14am.

yes, it will move your vote from one to the other. You can change your vote as many times as you wish, but only one vote per IP address will count.

It records every vote separate, regardless of IP.

Try it. Pick your candidate and see the vote count. Vote. It will increase by 1.

The only way to stop multiple voting is for Admin to turn on the function letting only logged in members to vote. Then the vote is logged by member ID on the DB.

When not logged in one is a guest.

Logging IP numbers is a separate function. Often requires a mod or module to be installed. Drupal, used here, is a modular script.

I was just guessing. I knew you, the self appointed moderator, would pop up and give the "correct" answer, as you always do.

You stated your position as absolute. You did not say you were guessing.

Yea, I know I have corrected many of your guesses in the past. As have others.

Maybe stepping back and finding out, first, would eliminate being embarassed?

Sigh. No. Easier to blame me.

Now that Dunn is out of office, Linda is running scared and will soon be uncovered as the "Leak" to Kevin Duffy/AJC about giving confidential information to a reporter-
There was NO "Open Records Request" by Kevin Duffy for an invoice that has been in question for some time. So HOW did Kevin Duffy know anything about an invoice?
It will soon come out as proof that Linda Wells herself provided the information.
Why? Because it was an attempt to use her position to discredit the Sheriff's Dept-
So all you Linda Wells supporters out there... how do you justify her corruption of office?

uh oh!

Submitted by oldsimon on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 10:04am.

You are such an authority. Gosh I wish I was as smart and well informed as you. You really know the inside. HA HA Back your posts up with true facts and not garbage. Just how do you know all this? Speaking of leaks, someone should take one on your leg.

Submitted by uh oh on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 11:03am.

Fact #1: Information was "leaked" to Kevin Duffy/AJC. Kevin Duffy did NOT file a request per the "Open Records Act" to find the Invoice for a uniform allowance. That is a FACT. Check it out if you wish, I DID-

Fact #2: Kevin Duffy received a call from the Commissioners office asking him to "investigate" the Confidential Invoice. Clearly, this is a violation of the B.O.C. Ethics Ordinance and the Open Records Act. Contact Kevin Duffy to confirm this if you wish, I DID-

Fact #3: Kevin Duffy confirmed that the call came from a commissioner, but stated it wasn't Greg Dunn. Contact Kevin Duffy if you wish, I DID-

Fact #4: Linda Wells had personal knowledge of the "Invoice" back in Jan. 2006 and publicly made unethical comments concerning it. Comments overheard by a source I will keep confidential for now.

Fact #5: Greg Dunn was interviewed by Kevin Duffy in June, 2006, as well as Linda Wells. My source has requested to remain confidential. However, you are free to contact Linda Well and Greg Dunn to confirm their meeting and interview with Kevin Duffy.

THESE ARE FACTS AND NOT ACCUSATIONS-
LINDA WELLS KNOWS THAT SHE IS INVOLVED AND CLEARLY VIOLATED THE B.O.C. ETHICS ORDINANCE THAT SHE HELPED PASS.
OLDSIMON-NOW, WHAT FACTS DO YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT OTHERWISE?
GIVE IT UP OR SHUT UP-

uh oh!

Submitted by Harvey on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 11:18am.

Balls in the Wells court.

Had I known Kevin Duffy would have answered questions about this I would have called him myself.

If I'm not mistaken the officer's wife also said that the reporter confirmed the information came from a County Commissioner.

If this is true this should have all been brought out and resolved before all of the elections. I didn't vote for Dunn but it doesn't seem fair if he took a partial hit on this and didn't do it.

Linda Wells needs to answer this in this forum if she wants the votes from this venue.

Submitted by uh oh on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 11:27am.

Harvey, Don't frett about NOT voting for Dunn. He is guilty of participating in an interview with Kevin Duffy that allowed an Officer's family member to be named in the newspaper.
As chairman he should have protected any confidential information from being printed in the newspaper.
Kevin Duffy can be contacted by calling the main number for the AJC. You will need to leave a detailed message, however he will call you back.

uh oh!

Submitted by Harvey on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 10:20am.

I would like to hear a response from Linda Wells on the matter.

I don't know what authority uh oh is on the matter either but I read a post from an officer's wife who said she intended to file an ethics complaint. We all know that will take time and we can not know the results of such action before the election.

When Eric Maxwell was accussed of something he did not think he was guilty of he logged on, in his own name, and responded to the accusation.

This accusation against Wells has been raised before. She is in what will be a close race. I would like to hear her public response to the charge of leaking the officer's and his families name to the press.

If she did not do it she should simply say she did not do it.

Submitted by uh oh on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 1:39pm.

I am not sure if we will ever hear from Linda Wells in this forum, however, Janet Dunn may send in a note or two for Linda like she did her husband.
Janet Dunn had a way of speaking for other people when they did not want to speak for themselves...

uh oh!

That would mean she would be giving credility to the forum. Which she does not want to do.

But not answering does not stand well for here, either.

You're calling Uh Oh stupid? He didn't mention the officer's name. UNBELIEVABLE. What rock did you recently crawl out from under. You are obviously clueless as to the whole scenario being discussed here.

You ought to drop it Casey. Your digging yourself in real deep. A little friendly suggestion here. How about you Git Real. If you can.

Sorry Christi - but his is not right - these are the type of tactics that are used on this website - mob / gangland / pack of dogs style vindictive - careless comments to remove someone that they do not want.

Obviously you don't agree that the majority don't care about your tactics to get Wells out of office - give us and them a break. The forum wants to talk about other issues - not politics and your low cheap shots. You are garbage UH OH - maybe even lower.

This is the type of trash and lack of irresponsibility I'm not willing to accept or just pass by? Like PTC GUY said FACTS - FACTS not feelings or opinion - not garbage ---- let the games begin ?

Does anyone do homework on Jack - he could be in public office someday? Are we not privileged to have his profile from kindergarten on ? You are the guys with all the FACTS and know how to get them?

What was his degree in? Grade point average? ever had a speeding ticket? DUI? Maybe a felony that was lowered to a misdemeanor? Where does he stand on stem cell ? abortion ? War in Iraq ? would he support Ms Clinton for the presidency ?

Obviously you can blast away at the current people in office with absolutely zero facts and post them here - what a bunch of garbage

PTC-GUY - Git Real - this is garbage - I'm sorry but can not stand for this type of unethical and total irresponsiblity

Casey dear. Your turning into a nasty skank ain't you. Calm down. It's understandable that you would get very frustrated in defending your girl when you have no ammo to rebut the facts that have come out in the many articles and court renderings regarding the "Trio's" unethical shenanigans. If you want to refer to some as a mob / gangland / pack of dogs style vindictive whatevers then fine. PROVE US WRONG OR MOVE ON.

Linda's reputation and poor leadership skills are a product of her own efforts and actions. Your right....this particular arguement is garbage. So from here on out can we agree to discuss "Just The Facts".

In other words if you have a problem with something the mob (Jack supporters that diagree with you)says, before you babble on bring on the facts. Until then the line coming from the mob will continue to be.... "Where's The Beef".

You yourself need to be ethical and responsible and bite your tongue unless you can come up with substinative facts to prove us wrong. All your rantings are based on pure emotion. It's kind of like arguing with a terrorist. We could give them everything they desire and they'd still want to kill us off. Now stop worshipping Linda and face up to the facts that she has made some very serious judgement calls that are unacceptable for the leadership position she holds.

I wish her much success and happiness in her investment business.


Submitted by Harvey on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 9:53am.

People who are now referred to as the mob only get fired up when someone, in this case Casey, comes in and lites the fire. When that happens, yes it gets tough in the yard. If you can't stand it the safest place is the porch. These are important issues and people feel strongly about them. Especially, I think, when it involves Linda who has, in the past, been so vicious herself.

Hey, somebody has got to do it. Covering ya'lls backs while you caught up on your zzzz's. Actually I was supervising a sleep over with a couple of 10 year old girls. They were up until 2:00. Man..talk about silliness going on. It was either this or view porn online. Well, I hate porn and its destructive influence on society so I chose the path of being a guardian of truth and accountability in the media.

To my relief they giggled themselves out and I was able to crash. Unike some parents we spend our time watching our kids, giggling with them, and perfoming the difficult task of saying NO and meaning it when it needs to be said and done.

Nursing a sick one back to health myself right now. Hate to tell you but over the next four years it's going to get a lot more silly. But in time, the silly turns into fond memories you will miss. At least you had someone to spar with to keep you awake. I for one, think it was Janet you were sparing with.

Submitted by allin on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 12:31am.

I thought we agreed on FACTS - not garbage - like UH HO posted

Your advice I trust - not to many others

Submitted by tonto707 on Fri, 07/21/2006 - 6:37am.

Robert. Linda was too much in bed with Dunn to survive a second round, probably wouldn't have the first time absent Sam Chapman.

These two are getting a dose of their own medicine, "Accountability"!

They predicted a much larger margin of victory between Maxwell and Dunn.

This race is going to be close. But the poll is doing it's job. Creating good debate and fueling the fires that keep this place hopping.

For the poll to work accurately you have to submit questions that are relevant to only the people who actively participate on this forum. A couple of sample questions that would reflect accuracy in polling would be.

1. Do you think Justaskin and The Natural were:

a. PTC Guy
b. Wake Up
c. Ag Pro
d. Janet

2. Who should be banned from the Citizen Online for being an irrelevant idiot.

a. Ag Pro
b. Git Real
c. Harvey
d. Highgreen

Questions like that would be more indicative of the views of the online readership.


Submitted by Harvey on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 1:25pm.

Can I go ahead and vote on Highgreen?

I definitely would not vote off Janet. There's too much sport in finding her. Also to be boldly honest (and I hate giving her this) it never hurts anyone to hear how both sides think.

Highgreen? He's just plain obnoxious. He doesn't even think like normal people. I seldom even click on his postings anymore. Banning him would not keep him from coming back under another name but then we could hunt him. I'm sure we'd spot him quickly. Hey then we'd have another sport! Game on! Try it High. See if the lion can't find you.

The only way it would work though, is if you remained quite for a very very long time and then sneaked back in.

Harvey, maybe a clue would help although I can't see for the life of me why you want to kill free speech. Hint: RockymountainHIGH and GREEN, like inexperienced. Does that help. There are a lot of us in the world (highgreens). Thank goodness I don't think like most of the bloggers here! Not only do most of this group not think any "out of the box," means something new for those of you not in the know, but you probably raised your kids and grandkids that way. You know, the kind who once said the earth was flat; that the sun circled the earth; that you would fall off the earth if you sailed the ocean too far in one direction; that wearing lipstick, jewelry, and bobbed hair kept you out of heaven; that by killing all non-catholics God would be pleased (find out by torture first of course); and if God had meant for us to fly he would have given us wings. Also, once in the late 1800s, the patent office recommended that their office be closed as most everything that could be invented had already been invented.Stop the world, I want to get off, kind of people. YOU!

Neat. I wondered where your handle was derived from.

Maybe I should have rephrased the question differently. Not to be banned but as two whom the "idiot poster award" would go to. Nobody here wants to ban free speech. But don't think we each might not have hefty opinions on some of the positions taken here.

I'm going to be kind here because I like you even though your appear to be pretty much whacked out. Your posts of late are likened to that of trying to carry out a conversation of importance with a dopped up or crunked person. I said to myself....SELF! Read the Highone's blog again and see if you can make sense out of it. I did. I read it three times and I understand we each make mistakes while blogging and sometimes a line or two doesn't make sense to others but Buddy, what are you on? Really. Most of us quit that stuff many years ago if we ever did it in the first place. Do you need a little drug intervention help there. If I've got Harvey figured out correctly I think he can help get you into a program.

And the non-Catholic killing thing. Is that season still open? I think what you were trying to elude to was the non-Muslim killing season that is in effect according to the Islamic clerics and terrorists.

Do you know how many times you have made spelling and gramatical errors on your postings? Quite often as many of us have. Chill. Well at least by pointing them out you've found somehthing you're correct about.


Submitted by Sailon on Sat, 07/22/2006 - 7:38pm.

The words chill, and dude, and reeeelax, and fugitabouteit, and a dozen others, are used when no corrections are seen as necessary so as not to keep repeating inaccuracies and destroy your credibility. Everyone does make typing errors, and yes, on occasion, other grammatical errors. Some are so grievious however it indicates that you don't care at all. It also gives me something to do other than irritate.
