5th District Fridays- Interesting comments again

Again today Joe Thomas did a great job of talking to all of the candidates.  We listened and had some surprises actually.

Worst comment of the day.  Close to a tie so that both need to be looked at but one showed some very bad understanding of how the health care system really works and the other just showed insensibility.

Stupidest comment of the week (2) Feda Morton  "Redistribute the two hundred billion dollar tax break for employer based health care."  Does she understand that this is given to companies to assist them in paying for the health care of their hard working employees ?  Does she want to make it harder than ever for struggling businesses to pay for the health insurance for their employees.    Your idea would do nothing but add more people to the list of uninsured.  You just lost every voter in the 5th whose company helps them pay for insurance.

Jim McKelvey  in his support for one candidate over another for district chair.  First he just cost himself the support of everyone who might support the other candidate.  Secondly, he wants to tell the grassroots what they should be doing.  He wants to rule from the top down.


Don't understand what they will need remarks- McPadden, McKelvey, we won't need the Republican's in the district since we have our own teams. Republican's will have to get together.

If either were to win the primary, that attitude would almost guarantee that the volunteers who have worked for campaign after campaign would shun them.

And  Mr. McKelvey, what does your campaign sloganeering have to do with the district chairman ?


Best Comment- Ken Boyd on the new district chair. I know both of the gentlemen............. Continued with good sense afterward.
