Which is the lesser evil?
I will be so happy when the dang elections are over.
I just found out how much money these morons (Ford and Coker, both) have spent on their "advertising". Ford: 14 million; Coker: 10.5 million. Folks, that's dollars we're talking about. Not cookies, not moon pies, dollars.
Surely Coker doesn't really think just because he claims to have helped restructure Chattanooga by providing housing (yeah right) that all the dough he (or his supporters) have spent talking trash about Ford could have been used to better the rest of Tennessee. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not happy with Ford, either.
You want my vote, here's the deal:
Drive around the metropolitan downtown areas in Tennessee. Drive around the rural Appalachian communities that don't even have running water. Restructure these areas. Let no one be homeless or hungry. Solve this not by providing welfare, but by raising minimum wage to a rate that single parents can actually live with. Take your supporter's contributions and provide quality childcare facilities not run by government employees. Pay the folks who have provided family owned childcare an amount that you, the candidate, could live on.
I think about the total amount spent on the advertising alone, a total of over 24 million dollars. To me, that is an insane amount of money.
I started working on my 16th birthday and I've never stopped. I have two children and the only government help I received was by way of military provided insurance at the birth of my first child. I have not felt any of the positive effects either candidate brags about. Although I am by far, not a patriotic person, I am a law abiding citizen. I wonder how many folks living in Coker's welfare housing have warrants against them...
It sickens me each time one of those rancid commercials airs. But it breaks my heart to know it's not getting any better. With this election brings more dishonesty and corruption right into our very own state. The Tennessee my children will grow to experience will be one of meth labs and even more corrupt politians.
