Badeye asks a good question.  If this was a debate between people who had been on the  forum for years, or even months, and had debated other issues as well, a discussion about the Mayoral candidates would be commonplace.  It seems like Vincent came in with his anti-Diedrich campaign and then called for backup.

You could hardly call it eavesdropping when you were being so very loud and acting like we were at a taping of Arsenio Hall.

If you are too open minded your brains will fall out.

Fat Girl,

You have mentioned Price's answer about gas prices and commuters a number of times.

I was sitting behind you at the debate and saw your reaction to the question being asked. I wondered if it was yours.

It was a stupid question.



I know youve said youre behind Carl, but really?


Really what?

I think both candidates bring a lot to the table. I happen to know Carl personally. I have never met Christian and only saw him in person for the first time at the forum/debate/whatever.

In my time being friends with Carl we have had our ups and downs but I can say I know Carl to be a well intentioned and good man.

I really tried to go into the forum as neutral as possible. I think both candidates did a good job. Being as impartial as possible I would say that Carl did the better job at the forum.

That being said, I believe the poor behavior of the people who support Carl hurts him. I know it makes me think twice. All the inappropriate language, inability to have a discussion without attacking someone, "oh snap" pictures sort of replies, calling people Vaginas and Farts...I mean really. If this is Carl's close "Coalition" I want no part of it. It is embarrassing.

I have not yet decided either way, in fact I've been pretty out of the loop thus far...

But why does it seem like everyone who comes here spamming/rooting for Price is a troll?

Oh yes...so very loud...

BTW....kind of racist there on the Arsenio Hall show...a BLACK talk show, that hasn't been on the air in a decade....The Leno show or David Letterman Show isn't loud?

Lovely

Neither Letterman or Leno have a dog pound. That is where you were acting like you were.

Big jump for you to insinuate I am racist since you don't even know me. I am pretty sure that you got all fired up for Vincent calling you an alcoholic when he has never met you, yet it is OK for you to make an inflammatory remark about me.

As far as being bigoted, that is a problem you might want to start in trying to solve in your own home since your husband is clearly bigoted against Mormons. Clean your own windows first.

Nice try though.

I am not sure if you were insinuating I am a troll but I can assure you that I lived  here long before you did. We were one of the first to move into RED in 2002. I have used the screen name The Nag for a number of years which is how Desert Dweller, PSW, Carl, and many others know me.

As for a "dog pound"... I have no clue what you mean... I don't say it often, but.... I guess that is way before my time....

I'm sorry that I laughed at this, mom. Tee-hee.

Welcome to the Internet.  Don't forget your flame retardant suit on the way in.

@ Nag & Fat Girl - I LOVE YOU BOTH. I think that you are both on the same side & that you both have pretty great senses of humor.  I think if you met, you'd actually really like each other. You're both phenomenal mom's with HUGE hearts. Lets remember why were all here.....to flame Vincent....er um, I mean, (JOKE!) to support the candidate we feel will best serve the City of Maricopa as Mayor.  Lets bury the hate & get back to the issues. 

Carl has has some incredible support (especially since the Candidate Forum) about his Small Business Plan. He's even had national recognition and there are other leaders in cities across the Country that think he is on to something great.  He's been recognized nationally before for his outside-the-box thinking but this in particular is pretty awesome! 

Carl has been a very very effective Councilman & proved himself to do what he says he will do and to painstakingly research every single issue he is called to vote on.  He asks the questions that often don't even cross the minds of other Council and he is applauded for that by his peers and residents who thank him for taking the time on their behalf to not go blindly into any vote. 

I could not be more proud of Carl for being the man he is while sitting at the dais representing the citizens of Maricopa, teaching a class at the Chamber, volunteering for one of the many groups he gives his time to,  or sitting at my dining room table doing math homework with our son.  He will be an INCREDIBLE Mayor!

For for a guy who WANTS to be a leader!

Why would you vote for a guy who's been on council for 4 years, who continues to say there was no value for him to attend key events?

Carl hasn't attended an Economic Development summit where he has the opportunity to talk to prospective investors to Maricopa.
Carl hasn't attended a town hall.
Carl hasn't attended and won't be attending this up coming 'State of the city'
Carl didn't attend this year's Chamber of Commerce event (even though he states he worries about small businesses)
Carl doesn't attend Chamber of Commerce meet & greets or other gatherings

Why not vote for a new, true LEADER, PRICE FOR MAYOR!

Carl hasn't attended an Economic Development summit where he has the opportunity to talk to prospective investors to Maricopa.   WRONG
Carl hasn't attended a town hall. WRONG
Carl hasn't attended and won't be attending this up coming 'State of the city'  WRONG
Carl didn't attend this year's Chamber of Commerce event (even though he states he worries about small businesses) SO? We've attended every year up until now and he was the emcee at last years event - because we had a conflict with the date this year doesn't make for some big conspiracy about Carl not supporting small businesses
Carl doesn't attend Chamber of Commerce meet & greets or other gatherings WRONG - he even teaches (free - he didn't accept the payment offered) one of their small business classes and sits on at least one of their committees

OMFG....What has he (Price) ever freaking LED in his life? (not saying that Carl has mind you  ;)). But by making him sound like a proven LEADER you are just increasing our awareness of your IGNORANCE!!! He has MANAGED an HOA. And from what I have read, he has no true followers.....just people that don't want Carl as Mayor. Unfortunately, this town has never had a LEADER, or we would not be in our current backasswards situation.

No disrespect to either Carl or Price. I wish you both the best, I just wish I had somebody else as an option.  ::)

I like Leon. He is interested and has put in the time to learn his way around. He will be a good council person.
