Who picks these idiots to be canidates. Get a real sheriff in there not a puppet. I vote for Carrie Hamilton. She is not afraid to make her case known. She could show up any of these men on the above list. Vote For Carrie for our next Sherriff. Digger can be the matron.

I agree!!! At least Cliver has a law enforcement background unlike Jimmy Pirtle. All kidding aside, why would you want a person as sheriff who doesn't know anything about police work or ever worked in that field? I understand it is an elected office, but those with actual experience should be elected. That would be like drawing a name out of a hat for mayor. Oh, wait.....anyway, vote for experience!!!!

Hey Jerk,what experience did Martindale have,he was a washing machine salesman at Sears,or the Watermans?Jimmy Pirtle would have been the best sheriff Sullivan county had if all the people who act like they are so much hadn't switched political sides.So its okay that Jerry Cliver kills a person and tried to kill another person and only spent 20 years in prison,just because he had some law enforcement you think he would make a better sheriff than this Pirtle boy.Well you are a moron!!!!!!That is what is wrong with this town,too many people like you live here.So leave this Pirtle boy alone,he don't bother anyone and hey jerk the election is over!

<quoted text>Lets vote Pirtle in so he can ignore the meth problem in Sullivan county. After all, he wouldn't want to fill the jail with his own family. Vote Pirtle and Meth for Sullivan County!!
Hey (heck stupid)or whatever you are going by today,do you see any of Jim's family in jail for meth?That was about as stupid comment as I have ever heard!You better watch your slander or you might be the one in jail!

Its easy to figure that Pirtle will win a poll like this cause he has so many relatives who vote numerous times. Trouble is he can't win an election because they can only vote once!!!
(I'm actually surprised most of his relatives can read and have computers...)
I hate to inform you but all of Jim's family can read,lets see some of them graduated from Rose Hulman,Saint Mary of the Woods,I.S.U.,Ivy Tech.
What about you and your family who probally didn't even graduate high school!
Oh and by the way they all have computers because they all have jobs, unlike you who is probally on welfare!Why are people like you so frightened about Jim? Are you afraid to have an honest person in charge?

Also it would not be considered slander on the internet it would be libel. I'm not scared though because my statements can be proven true with jail records. Nice try though. You better do a little research before you make yourself look so stupid.
You have'nt got a clue, you don'nt even know our family. So quit spreading your lies. I am sure there is a special place in Hell for all the jealous idiots like you. Who are'nt happy unless they are talking about someone else. Get a Life!

I don't know if any of Jim's family has ever been in jail or not but who gives a s..t!Probally everybody has had some relatives who has been in jail or trouble sometime.What the heck does that have to do with Jim?He can't answer for all his relative's problems and troubles like no one else could,so get over your obsession with him.
I think you are just jealous because you think he is getting more votes than you on this stupid forum.Get over it!
Getting back to having relatives and family in jail,look at your state rep.and his family.
The election was 7 years ago and he is not even running for Sheriff,so leave him alone and get a life!

I have got to agree with this one. The other people on the list are bottom feeders we need someone who is not afraid to be on top. Speak their own mind and not be a puppet. Plus I think Digger would make a great matron.

I wouldn't vote for someone who used a childish name like Jimmy. Grow up and use your adult name. We need to get some newbies in the offices. Not the same old crap. Take a look around have these people really helped Sullivan. I have seen it decline in the last 10 years. Do you call big busniness a thrift store coming to the north side. Or a hang out for kids next door to a tavern. Good influence. That's like putting a kids hangout next to a meth house if you ask me. What happened Sullivan. Is your hat where your butt should be. Or a coffee shop (another place for people to sit around and talk and do nothing). We need to bring something with some class to town. Something that will bring in outside dollars. What I seen so far is a sign of a depressed ecomony with a very dim outlook. Growing up we had Roots, Tindalls, Index, Engles, Maxwell Bevis, Donnelly's, Western Auto,Kroger, Pirtles shoe store, a bakery, IGA the list is too numerous to mention. This is what you call progress. We need direction. Not scratch my back and I will scratch yours. This is what got Sullivan in this condition. Bottom feeders who rely on others for direction

What makes you an authority on who the bottom feeders are and who isn't? I am sick and tired of reading these forums and one or two people saying the same things. And before someone gets on and tells me to quit reading the forum, I would like to think that sometimes I might read an interesting post without somebody bashing the same people or the same family over and over. If you have so many great ideas about how to get Sullivan back to the way it used to be then get out and do something about it instead of complaining on here about it or the people who do try to do something. You say "a coffee shop(another place for people to sit around and talk and do nothing)". Isn't that kind of what you are doing on here?
And there is nothing wrong with grown men being called Jimmy. I know several good men who go by that name (the one you are talking about included). We even had a President of the United States with that name. I think attacking someone for what name people call him is really getting petty!
So please get out and sign up for a committee or run for one of the offices you are referring to and see if you can get something done. I guarantee that if you do get involved, you will be the next one someone is bashing on this forum!

Jimmy Carter didnt seem to have a problem being called Jimmy and neither did a few others. You have way too much time on your hands.

Grow up ......Needs to WAKE UP....If you would notice...most small towns are just like Sullivan...the downtowns are dying because of Walmarts, Targets, larger towns to the north, south, east and west,etc. If you really know whats wrong and know how to fix it than get off your lazy duff and join committees, attend meetings and be active in your community. Oh and there is nothing wrong with being called Jimmy, Bobby, etc., as a grown up. Oh but your not grown up so we will just call you difficult!

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Leo

The atmosphere is highly combustible today, with people getting in a stew over the smallest little thing. You will also have a tendency to get hot under the collar, especially if someone isn't doing things as quickly as you'd like. Try to stop yourself getting in a rage because once that happens it will be difficult to cool down again. Maybe you need some fresh air?
