Bob Phillips is slime. Eddie Fuller is also, but Fuller is a butt kisser to whomever is in power.
Phillips leads Fuller around by the nose and lets him do his dirty work. That way he keeps his hands clean. Phillips even trys to run the county through his son-in-law,Sam Smith, who is chairman of the commission and another commissioner Jennifer Harris, who is married to Phillip's wife's son. Before that, he had his business partner's wife, Lina Horner, on the commission.
They don't come any worst than Bob Phillips.

They do. Try the moral integrity crowd. Let's see: JBL, WW, EWH, MAN, LM, DL. You know those good old boys and girls that are bought and paid for by the local developers. BF doesn't hold a candle to GC and his group that worship at the altar of money in their pockets.

I have know some of these people a very long time...Sam Smith...Bob Phillips..Steve Bowden...Eddie Fuller..and I see they are at the top of the list...

[City Taxpayer]

This is great. The truth comes out. Look who is at the top of the list, old Mr. Crooked himself.

Q B
All she does is want to make a better town
A young Lady
In a den of thieves
Trying to do right
For all People in this town
Man I don't see how stupid we can be

I will tell you this
She is the best of all
And one of the best of us
I see few that try to do
What she has
For the good of us all
If you will back her
You will see a better town
We will have

Councilwoman Brandon has a lot to learn, but she does it with an open mind. I feel that if we are able to keep her in council, she will be the backbone we need. I know it must be rather hard to be a woman in small town politics and for my daughters sake I applaud her for what she is doing for our town. For those that do not know, our council makes almost no money but all of them, even the ones I don't much care for work several hours. I personaly think Brandon works the hardest, longest and does more than any other member.

[Butthead]

May me I was a little harsh
And did give a exaggerated opinion
Made me disgusted
When looked at the results of the pole
I should have said
A lamb in a lions den
It is hard to be a woman
When the men think it is a mans world
And the women let them continue to think that
Behind every good man
There is a greater woman
Some men I have seen elected to office and appointed to boards head swell bigger than a lard bucket and I think there is only lard in there
To start with and it gets bigger and harder as they stay

[Butthead]

I also see how the pole got that way
And I am fixing it

Question..I know it may be old news, but was there one on the above list that was drug dealing?...I can not "judge" for myself but seems I heard he was even arrested and spent time in another city jail....then after I heard this was re elected?...No, not trying to gossip, just I was not living here then, and want to know.

[CajunCornbread]

Putting anyone on a pedestal is just as harming as to belittle a person.

I can't "judge" for myself either, but I did hear about this summer of 2006. I think you are right about that, and it looks like he may need an "attorney".

To acknowledge the good in some one
And the act they do
And put them above the rest
Indicates that she is best suited for the job
And doing a good job
May be the others will follow her lead and do better

I was told this from a Clinical Psychologist. It was about abuse.

Who would you darter believe
Butthead or a person who's name Has Psycho in it

Cornbread
Jesus is all good
Do you think by putting him on a pedestal
It is abuse
Good should be held to higher standard
And recognized for what it is
Don't you think?

[Butthead]

Look at the abuse I get

[Butthead]

You were probably right thanks for the help
You never know what I might say
It just comes out that way

[Butthead]

Are you talking about the one doing the actual?
Dirty work or the one giving the orders

[CajunCornbread]

Actually, Butthead, Jesus was not good. He said so himself.

My dad built up one sibling and she has problems.
I was belittled and have problems.

We all need room to grow and prove ourselves.
Q is a sweet young lady.
She is learning and applying skilled knowledge as she grows.
We voted for her and will continue to do so.
The city needs more.

Good is a high standard.
Experience is what rounds out a very good politician.
Sure when things are corupting, we would like to turn the merry-go-round button and see how long they hang on to their political seat.
This forum made me smile.
