musicman Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Well, for the lack of anyone that I feel would be more qualified, I'm going to go out in a bit and vote for Brown.Poll anyone?go to khou and see if the last debate is still online. that might sway you another direction.

rsb320 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 go to khou and see if the last debate is still online. that might sway you another direction.His inability to articulate thoughts and the fact that he's 72 are two reasons he'll not get my vote. The other is that I don't like to look at him and his voice annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 go to khou and see if the last debate is still online. that might sway you another direction.I did look at the debates, the others didn't have much of a compelling case. Have you made up your mind yet?His inability to articulate thoughts and the fact that he's 72 are two reasons he'll not get my vote. The other is that I don't like to look at him and his voice annoys me.I don't look at a person's age for a job like this, especially when it comes to a job that has to be "renewed" every two years, it doesn't matter.Hell, you can be 25 and get killed falling down a flight of stairs. As far as his voice and look goes, that is pathetically shallow and sounds like someone who doesn't know how to get to a conclusion without critical thinking.

musicman Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I did look at the debates, the others didn't have much of a compelling case. Have you made up your mind yet?yeah I did but agree that no one running is leadership material. I really don't know anyone who is active in civic organizations who is impressed with any of the candidates. With turnout running so low, every vote will count.

I was being intentionally, pathetically shallow. And, I was joking. I do have a problem with the age thing and think he needs to be put out to pasture. Um, I'm laughing, so I guess I'm still joking. I can't wait to get out of here to go and vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I chuckle everytime I hear Peter Brown proclaim "business man" in his commercials. Since when is marrying well a business matter? The man is running through his second (or is it third?) wife's cash like it's nobody's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 it will be interesting to see which way the black vote will go for the runoff.

JLWM8609 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 it will be interesting to see which way the black vote will go for the runoff. Some of the big churches like wheeler ave did endorse peter brown (even though gene locke is a member). Wheeler's founding pastor, Rev. Lawson was steadfast and supported Brown until the end. The reason why Locke didn't get Rev. Lawson's official endorsement is because Locke didn't throw his hat into the ring until after Lawson had already committed to endorsing Brown (Brown announced his candidacy in August 2008, Locke in November 2008), and probably due to the fact that Brown gave nice donations to WALIPP, which is Rev. Lawson's non profit organization. Now that Brown is out, I think it's certain that Rev. Lawson will endorse Locke. The current pastor, Rev. Cosby was a Brown supporter, but appeared to quickly switch sides in less than 24 hours. The night before the election, some of my relatives saw Rev. Cosby on TV at a Peter Brown function trying to skirt past the cameras quickly. When it had become apparent that Locke would make it into the runoff, Cosby made a 180 and was onstage with Locke, cheering as if he'd been a longtime supporter of Locke's.

JLWM8609 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 the bold is the reason, no question. I wouldn't say it was the reason, but it was a big deciding factor. I've personally known Rev. Lawson my whole life and witnessed members of Wheeler run for office and get his support. Mind you some of these people are not big money folks like Brown, they simply asked for his support. I believe if Locke had made his intention to run for mayor before Brown announced his candidacy and asked Rev. Lawson to support him, Rev. Lawson would have supported Locke, regardless of the contribution Brown gave. Then Brown probably would've turned around and accidentally put Rev. Lawson's name on some of his material as a supporter and then apologize later for the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HtownWxBoy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Controversial prayer focuses on candidate Hmmm... and Morales came in LAST place... I guess that means God punished him for allowing a hate-filled prayer to take place on election night. Morales did say, "I didn't even know he was going to give a prayer. It kind of caught me off guard." Riiiiight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arisegundo Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 From the KTRK comments: I do believe that is what the Bible says. It also says God destroyed Saddam and Gamora because of this.So THAT's why we invaded Iraq.Frankly, I'm surprised it took the Bible-thumpers this long to get caught on camera praying for God to save us from the coming lesbocracy.
